2 C. they focused on the least controversial issues D. their small budget limited what they could do TRANSCRIPT INTERVIEWER: Our guests today are the acclaimed filmmakers Tilly Woodford and Lee Davis, who for their latest work have swapped film stars for a four-legged cast. Lee, can you tell us more? LEE: Well, it's basically about the relationship between people and their pets and, well, animals in general. I'll let Tilly explain as it was originally her idea. TILLY: Yes, growing up on a farm, my parents taught me at an early age all about the practical side of having working animals, but I had an entirely different relationship with the domestic animals we kept as pets. I didn't really question that until I had children of my own. I was determined to raise them to be animal lovers, and that was really the starting point of the documentary. Lee and I started collecting these incredible stories of people whose lives had been transformed in some way by pets. It's taught us a lot about why people can have such strong attachment to their pets. LEE: We must have spent at least two years doing the research. That first year was particularly hard because I was trying to juggle other work commitments too. Do you remember? I felt really bad because Tilly ended up doing far more work than me. To be honest, I was somewhat skeptical at the start that enough people would want to watch a documentary about this particular topic, but I trusted Tilly. Our previous collaborations have been so rewarding, and of course as a creator, it's always a privilege to take on a new challenge. TILLY: Well, you soon saw the potential once we got underway. LEE: Definitely. We uncovered so many touching stories. TILLY: Yes, and I know that documentary makers have to be impartial observers, but that wasn't easy for me as someone who cares deeply about animal welfare. What about that YouTuber we interviewed? He was basically exploiting his pets to attract more followers. He was dressing them up in stupid outfits and filming them. But off camera, he had no interest in those poor pets. And he seemed to find it funny to feed them things they really shouldn't be consuming. It was really hard not to intervene. LEE: I hasten to add that this was the exception. It was reassuring to spend time with so many responsible pet owners. Had I not been for meeting all those people, and I don't think I would have realised how pet friendly we've become as a nation. And it was also heartening to learn about all the fantastic animal conservation work people are doing. It's so important. TILLY: We've absolutely become a society that values our pets. This hadn't occurred to me either until we started making this documentary. I suppose the booming pet care sector is the logical extension of that change. Personally, my highlight during our research was meeting animal behaviour experts, deciphering what pets might be trying to tell us. Absolutely fascinating.
3 LEE: At the risk of showing off, I'd say the documentary covers all these issues well. When you're dealing with individuals' personal experiences, it can easily become far too sentimental. Balancing it with factual content is important, especially subjects that provoke debate. Considering we had such tight financial constraints, I'm incredibly proud of what we achieved. I just wish we could have kept in all the content we originally filmed. But it just wasn't feasible. TILLY: Well, I'm just glad we didn't let our personal views or prejudices influence the documentary too much. That would have been a mistake. But like you say, I'll always wonder whether we should have kept in some of the parts we removed. I suspect all documentary makers hate the editing process. INTERVIEWER: Lee, Tilly, thanks. Part 2. For questions 6-10, listen to the recording and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). 6. In the past, science fiction fans imagined that jetpack would become a part of everyday life. T 7. The Rocket Belt developed by Wendell Moore was too slow. F 8. The thing which causes most difficulty for a pilot of a jetpack is the terrible heat. F 9. The main advantage of the EFV over a jetpack is flying much further. T 10. The company that makes the EFV also makes a type of helicopter. F TRANSCRIPT Thirty or forty years ago, fans of science fiction used to watch films about the future and dream of the kind of life we would all be living by the year 2000 - holidays to the moon, colonies in space, robots in the home. And weren’t jetpacks going to be one of the most thrilling parts of our future? After eating a protein pill for breakfast, we would then strap on our personal rocket packs and fly ourselves to our hi-tech offices in no time. But we’re now several years into the 21st century and so far, only 17 people have flown a jetpack. Apart from the occasional appearance as a novelty at sporting events or motor shows, it appears that jetpacks are permanently grounded. The idea of the jetpack originated way back in the 1920s in a science fiction comic called Buck Rogers, which later became a popular radio show and then a TV programme. The concept became a reality when Wendell Moore, an engineer at Bell Aerospace in the USA, developed the Rocket Belt, which had its first successful flight in 1961. Perhaps ‘flight’ is the wrong word. Even though the Rocket Belt could accelerate faster than a Formula 1 car, it only had a maximum time in the air of 30 seconds. With such a limited range, the U.S. military lost interest and NASA, who had thought about using them on their moon missions, did not invest money in the project. Jetpacks have failed to get off the ground ever since. However, a dedicated group of amateur engineers has continued to build, and attempt to fly, their own homemade jetpacks. The designs haven’t altered much since the first Bell Rocket Belt. In fact, they’re not
4 really powered by rockets at all - they’re powered by steam, which is produced by a chemical reaction. Flying a jetpack requires a certain amount of courage. The steam is forced out of the jetpack at about 750 degrees centigrade. And they’re not easy to fly. Bill Suitor, one of Bell Aerospace’s original test pilots and the man who flew into the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympic Games, described the experience of flying with a rocket belt as like ‘trying to stand on a beach ball in a swimming pool.’ Like most things then, the fantasy is better than the reality, but there still may be a future for jetpacks, and it may lie with more conventional jet engines. Trek Aerospace, a company based in California, has built the Springtail EFV, which is powered by a small engine. It is much larger than a jetpack, and the pilot is strapped into it, in a similar way to a hang- glider. If the design takes off, the Springtail EFV could have a wide range of different uses, from emergency rescue operations to extreme sports. Trek Aerospace believe that they’ve solved the previous problems with personal flying machines. The Springtail EFV might weigh almost twice as much as a jetpack and stand nearly three metres tall, but on one tank of fuel it can cruise at about 160 kilometres per hour with a range of 300 kilometres. Many experts believe that personal flying machines like the Springtail EFV will arrive within the next decade, especially as they have obvious commercial potential as a substitute for helicopters. What may become a more common sight in our skies is a new generation of unmanned personal vehicles. Even Trek Aerospace believe that their unmanned air vehicle has greater potential, mainly for surveillance and military use. But for fans of science fiction, who have waited decades for jetpacks to arrive, the wait could be nearly over. It may seem like it’s just a bunch of guys playing around with flying machines at the moment, but that is exactly how the efforts to reach the moon started out. Personal flying machines, be they jetpacks or other vehicles, will definitely happen - but don’t hold your breath. Part 3. For questions 11-15, listen to the recording and answer the questions.
