3 JACINTA: Of course. So all our cleaners are very carefully selected. When they apply to us, they have to undergo a security check with the police to make sure they don’t have any sort of criminal background, and, of course, they have to provide references as well. Then if we think they might be suitable for the job, we give them training for it. That lasts for two weeks so it’s very thorough, and at the end of it, they have a test. If they pass that, we take them on, but we monitor them very carefully – we ask all our clients to complete a review of their performance after every visit and to email it to us. So we can pick up any problems straightaway and deal with them. CLIENT: OK, well that all sounds good. And will I always have the same cleaner? JACINTA: Yes, we do our best to organise it that way, and we usually manage it. CLIENT: Good. That’s fine. Right, so I’d like to go ahead and ... Part 2.

Callum, the media and the public reaction to the series has been extremely positive, hasn't it? Callum: So far, yes, it's all good. But to be honest, the subject matter makes it easy. What person hasn't drawn a volcano when they were little? And the presenting part was fun ... I mean I’m always happy to go on about my work. When people find out what you do, their response is always positive... they're always curious to learn more. Most people are fairly ignorant about geology, but when it comes to volcanoes, they don't hold back with the questions (11). It's not one of those jobs you mention and people instantly stop listening. They assume your job is risky, that you must be some kind of heroic figure ... which is definitely not always the case! There's an awful lot of sitting in your chair, analysing endless streams of data - that kind of thing. Interviewer: So, if it wasn't the danger, what drew you to becoming a volcanologist in the first place? Callum: Well you know, I think, my father was a geologist, and you might think it was in the blood, but Dad's preoccupation was with fossils mainly. We were expected to go along on the expeditions and I wasn't entirely disinterested but I was more eager to see if there was anyone around to play with. I suppose I did take after Dad in that I took a geology degree. In fact, it was on a field trip that I saw my first eruption way down a crater. I was simultaneously quite terrified and quite amazed by the power of it all. I knew at that moment I would have to switch fields... (12) that volcanoes would be a lifelong fascination. It's a real shame that my father didn't live to see the series. Interviewer: There was one episode in the series when you were in Hawaii - in a helicopter flying over a huge volcanic crater. I heard you say something to the pilot about it going better than last time? Callum: In the episode you saw, the volcano was quiet, but Jack - he was the pilot - and I - we'd been there a few years earlier, and at that time, when we were flying over the crater, I suspected it might be the end. There was an eruption in progress and I wanted to check the lava flows one more time but it was just before dusk already. All my fault, I'm afraid. I should have known better. We were over the crater when the clouds suddenly came in and we were just flying blind. We could easily have flown into the side of the hill or into the fountain. Neither of us spoke while he was trying to get us out but I had this awful sense of responsibility for putting Jack into that position (13). We finally got back to camp and it was only then that I felt rather shaky and incredibly relieved, of course. Interviewer: I suppose it's the kind of job where mistakes can be fatal. It must be rather difficult to get things right all the time. Callum: Well we don't. That's the thing with volcanoes - you're always learning. But we do have an enormous
