I was wondering what you think about communication.

Communication?

It's a difficult one, that, isn't it?

Sorry? I said, it's a difficult one.

I wasn't listening. No?

No.

ANIMAL CRIES

TWEET!

RUFF! RUFF!

OINK!

MOO!

It's great, communication. What is communication?

Go on!

You have to start somewhere. We do speak the language a bit.

You've got the easy bit!

Let's hear the question again.

I remember the question.

(LAUGHS) I mean, the only thing you can say about me is,

I speak lots and lots and lots and lots, and lots and lots.

And sometimes you can see this in the face of the people around,

that I don't let them speak!

No!

Uh, I had an Australian. Not an Australian. I don't know.

Was he an Austrian or was he French?

I don't know what he was.

He come from a-bloody-broad. It was a job to tell

what he was bloody talking about.

But he could speak a bit of English but not a bloody lot.

SQUEAKING

I just can't imagine that from an "Ug",

we've got, you know, such a...

Like French, for example. French is very sophisticated, isn't it?

French isn't as sophisticated as "Ug", if you ask me,

but that's my view of the French.

Some people say the French aren't very sophisticated,

and others say they are.

But an "Ug", if French came from that it's a bit surprising.

It would be "Oog", wouldn't it?

Yeah.

There's a thing in Newcastle where everybody's called "Man", even a woman.

Talking to a woman, you go "All right, man?"

Talking to my mother I'd say "All right, man?"

But that's my mother, my mother's not a man.

But down here I've said it a couple of times and it just slipped out.

If it's a woman who pushes in, I say, "Hey, man, who are you pushing?"

She says "I'm a woman not a man".

I says, I know you're woman, man.

Urban is the new language.

BARKING Look at bling.

Who's saying bling now?

Everybody!

Bling!

It's not just about language, though.

There's body language, isn't there?

There is body language, I suppose, which is universal.

I can tell by looking at you right now

that you're looking a bit edgy, a bit nervous,

and even though we speak the same language,

I didn't need to know that in order to tell that.

ROAR

Would you agree that 80% of communication is non-verbal?

Just thinking about that one.

Hm.

Well, you were looking at me then and communicating.

You were frowning a little bit, so you were communicating, weren't you?

Yes, I was.

And I read your face to say that -

Yeah, I guess you could say 80% was non-verbal.

Yes.

Well, it's 100%, isn't it,

if you're a North Sea diver, mending oil rigs?

I'm just not biting.

BLEATING

As far as communication goes when we're working sheep,

it can either be vocal or whistle.

So, to go left...

(WHISTLES)

And it goes round to the right and that turns the sheep to the left.

And that's how it works.

(WHISTLES)

It's communication between...

..between three different animals.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

There we are, that's a cuckoo.

That's a "cuckoo" that you can call a cuckoo in with that.

That does that call twice.

And then you have to wait and the cuckoo,

that will reply back to you.

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

And then you do it again twice.

And that will bring the cuckoo all the way,

as close as you want, that. You can call them in.

Then, of course, you shoot them.

You know when a donkey's unhappy.

If a donkey's bad-tempered, it will lay its ears right down like that.

Bad-tempered.

When they're happy, their ears are usually up,

or slightly forward like that.

But if they're laid right down like that

and they're swishing their tail like she is now,

that's showing aggression.

But their ears have got to be down, right flat on their body,

to show aggression.

Normally, they're straight up again, like hers, straight up.

Or just flopped out to the side like that,

they're flopping out to the side. See, they're up,

but then they'll flop them out.

But they're all up, pricked up, looking happy, like that.

But you've got to watch a donkey

when she lays her ears right down like that.

Don't whisper things, it defeats the object.

Do you have, like, communication issues between you?

No.

We just don't talk.

It's all about knowing - I tend to be quiet, don't I?

I don't do much or say much if - If you're angry, Wayne,

you go, "Mm. Mm. Mm."

You always know, and I say to Paul, "Wayne's got a grumpy on".

Mm. Mm.

Mm.

(RASPBERRY) On your nose, look, see?

(DOUBLE RASPBERRY) That was a good one, wasn't it?

I thought they were being aggressive. No, showing affection.

Some days you can put your hand in her mouth, look.

(GAGGING)

I make noises, usually, in the place of words.

(CLEARS THROAT) What kind?

You make up loads of... baby talk.

Yeah. "Ee-ee!" in the middle of things, and "Oh-win" and "B-dmp!".

Things like that. But you understand, don't you, Bab?

And you say things like, "I've banged my knee-knee". All right.

You wouldn't recommend everybody to do it.

But, no, you put your hand in her mouth.

Now, show her your tongue. Let's see your tongue. Come on.

Show me your tongue. I want to see your tongue. Look, I've got him.

Come on, I want to see your tongue.

There you go, look, there's her tongue.

They don't mind you doing that? No!

I wouldn't say you do it, but er, no,

they just trust me, you see, that's what it is.

You need communication. I mean, it doesn't matter

that you want to speak the language

or you are going to speak because you are blind or if you are...

It's something you need, it's something you need to live.

You need to communicate with someone.

Always there's something you need.

Or something someone needs and needs to communicate with you.

So it is something really... It's really important.

Communication is something...

Huh!

You have to be positive. # Mmmm...

You have to talk. # Mmm...

You must love one another. # Mmm...

You must... You must... You must understand.

# Mmm... You must communicate.

# Mmm... You must read books.

# Mmm #

Yeah. Very well. Are we at peace?

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

Shut up, Brian! OK.

(WHISTLES)

DOG WHISTLE

(HALF-HEARTED WHISTLE)

No, I didn't like that, because some people talk to me like that.

So he said, "How are you speaking so bloody fast?

It isn't an insult, you're talking too loud today. I can't -

I can't get what you're talking about."

Then I turn around and tell him, "You must be bloody daft, then".
