5:38 am
the atmosphere is brilliant. you've got this singing, lots of shouting. they've turned off the street lights you've just got this torchlight around, but do have to be a bit cautious because if a gust of wind comes by, the embers fly from the torches and land on your clothes, so you have to be vigilant or you will go home with a few holes. as the adult procession passes by, we don't see many women taking part, but any controversy hasn't stopped crowds of people turning out to watch. did you have any feeling yourself about girls being allowed to participate? yeah, well, allowed to participate? yeah, well. boys — allowed to participate? yeah, well, boys are _ allowed to participate? yeah, well, boys are involved, - allowed to participate? yeah, well, boys are involved, we i well, boys are involved, we have two girls, so we are keen they can be involved as well. after a circuit, the procession files into a local play park. you've got the torches going on, i can see viking helmets, the galley going up in flames. the embers abovejust
5:39 am
the galley going up in flames. the embers above just being blown around in this mad wind. it's an incredible experience! and, who knows, maybe they'll make a viking of me yet? and if you're thinking of heading to shetland anytime soon, here some travel show tips to help you plan your trip. getting to this remote island is easier than you think. north link ferries run overnight ferry services seven nights a week from aberdeen on the scottish mainland or kirkwall in 0rkney. they will take you over ten hours though so if the romanticism of waking up so if the romanticism of waking up somewhere new doesn't cut it, then you might prefer the ease of flying, which will only take a couple of hours from most uk cities. it is partly this remoteness of shetland that has allowed for its many
5:40 am
archaeological sites to survive the centuries. there's over 5000 years of human history scattered across the islands, and this place is a good place to start. these ancient round houses are unique to scotland, and despite intense scrutiny, their origins are shrouded in mystery. and if you're planning to travel to shetland when the days are longer, then try to catch the annual boat race. the event sees sailors take to the waters to do what they do best and compete against fellow islanders. this year, it takes place on 25th ofjune. well, do stay with us, because still to come on the travel show, after 35 years and 1a,000 performances, we bid a fond farewell to broadway's phantom of the opera. here in shetland, the fires may have died down, but the night
5:41 am
is reallyjust getting started. squads and spectators will come to public spaces, like their school, where they will refuel with some food, and let's face it, probably a drink or two, before heading on through for a bit more good old—fashioned viking revelry. around a dozen of these parties take place all around loic. we got some vikings on the wall in case you forgot where you are. after the procession, squads of torchbearers visit each hall to perform a skit, and with more than a0 squads to get through, the festivities stretch well into the wee hours, with a bit of ceilidh dancing thrown in for good measure. music.
5:42 am
my my name isjamie my name is jamie clarke, my name isjamie clarke, and this is the village of new ash green where i live in the south—east of england with my grandmother. yeah, not too bad. anything get in the paper? there might be more interesting places in the world to see but this is where my friends and family are. this is home. after two years of unique, it was a three—year course, i can be dancedit three—year course, i can be danced it into two, i was shattered by the end because it was so relentless, and ijust needed a break and i suggested applying for a job near scranton, pennsylvania in the usa, after a cousin of mine had done it, and he'd had a great time. dance music. i wasn't keen on the idea of working with kids, but it was a means to an end. little did i know it would be the making of me. the kids were absolutely amazing. i got to reuse a lot of my film—making skills from
5:43 am
university. we are creating a camp movie written by me. here's the script for it i've just put together. i went and did four summers after my first one because i just loved it so much, especially because at the end of the day, you finish your final day at camp, you get paid, a wallet of cash, and then you've got 30 days to leave the country. first time i went out, i took a group tour, because i was a bit nervous about travelling on my own, and i went from new york down to new orleans with about 12 other people, new orleans all the way the cross the south, monument valley, we went to the swamps and saw alligators. then we got all the way to vegas, a couple of days in vegas, then los angeles, hollywood, igot of days in vegas, then los angeles, hollywood, i got to see hollywood for the first time. it was camp that paid for it all, basically. and unlike camp, where you only
5:44 am
do thatjob, in australia you have the working holiday visa. that opens up a lot of doorways. we were literally putting frozen pies in a box, just doing that, eight hours a day, for really, really good money. i earned enough money to do some serious travelling. from the red centre to the great barrier reef, seeing wildlife in its natural habitat, visiting several beautiful islands and beaches, and spending time in the cities on the coast. 0ne spending time in the cities on the coast. one of the big things about travel is that it does cost money, and this is where working becomes really, really important. when i go to america each year, i would pay agency fees and i would pay for my flights. and that does involve a little bit of money, but may be a00 and £500, and then you get paid much more than that over the course of the summer. if you just want to come home, you canjust come
5:45 am
home, you don't have to travel, but you're there, why wouldn't you do it? in australia, yes, the flights are a little bit more expensive again, but i was earning very good money putting frozen pies in a box, which kept me funded for months. three months of work i could live out there by being frugal, but you can absolutely fund all this trouble just by moving around and working. and that's the life, that's a lie.— the life, that's a lie. next up we are off — the life, that's a lie. next up we are off to _ the life, that's a lie. next up we are off to broadway - the life, that's a lie. next up| we are off to broadway where the life, that's a lie. next up - we are off to broadway where we are saying good eye to its longest running show. at? are saying good eye to its longest running show. # the phantom _ longest running show. # the phantom of— longest running show. # the phantom of the _ longest running show. # the phantom of the opera - longest running show. # the phantom of the opera is - longest running show. # the | phantom of the opera is there inside — phantom of the opera is there inside your mind... . it phantom of the opera is there inside your mind. . ._ inside your mind... . it is as ears inside your mind... . it is as years since _ inside your mind... . it is as years since the _ inside your mind... . it is as years since the musical -- l inside your mind... . it is as| years since the musical -- 35 years since the musical —— 35 years since the musical —— 35 years since the musical, phantom of the opera, opened in new york taking records and hearts along the way. so we went in to capture some of the magic as it prepares to take its final bow. i still cry

it. in the meantime followers on social media where you i it. in the meantime followersl on social media where you will find great travel content from around the bbc. but for now, i am off to find a nip of whiskey to try and ward off this cold. see you next time. hello there. on friday, we had some sunny spells that worked southwards across the uk through the day. it was a lovely end to the day in cumbria — see the blue skies and the setting sun here. wasn't like that everywhere, though. across northeast scotland, we certainly had a lot of cloud, and that cloud thick enough to bring some showers. now, i'm talking about this cloud here in aberdeenshire. that cloud is actually from this cloud sheet you can see here in the north sea. now, this cloud sheet is really very extensive, and if i put on the winds that are blowing that cloud along,
5:55 am
those winds will take that cloud sheet in across eastern areas of the country. the big problem is the computer models really aren't doing very well with this cloud. you can see it's nowhere near extensive enough. but i think over the next few hours, we are going to see that cloud sheets come in across northern and eastern scotland, eastern areas of england, running right up to the pennines, i think, and probably across the east midlands and into parts of east anglia as well. that will keep the frost at bay for these areas. but, further west, we are looking at clear skies and it's going to be a cold night with temperatures down to about —a. now, bear in mind, i think it will be a cloudy day across northern and eastern scotland, and for much of the day, eastern england. the cloud thick enough for an occasional shower, and there'll be a cold northeasterly wind as well. the best of any sunshine will be further west, so west england, wales, northern ireland and west scotland not faring too badly. temperatures, perhaps, actually, close to average or a little bit below even, but it will feel chilly in those cold northeasterly winds. now, heading into the second half of the weekend, the area of high pressure bringing this relatively quiet weather is here to stay.
5:56 am
the winds not quite as strong, but they'll be coming straight up the thames estuary, adding to the chill in london. and, once again, there will be extensive cloud across these eastern areas, tending to work inland at times. but again, it's the western side of the british isles that will have the best of the breaks in the cloud and the best in the day's sunshine. temperatures 7 or 8 celsius. now, into next week, this area of high pressure isn't going to move very far, very fast. the winds change direction a little bit and that will kind of tend to change where the sunny breaks are, but again, i think probably western england, western wales will have some of the best breaks on monday, perhaps a little bit more in the way of cloud filtering through the central belt of scotland, and the largely dry and quiet weather continues for most of next week, with temperatures running more or less near average for the time of year. that's the latest.
