But at this time every single week is somebody who is an expert in what they do and it can be absolutely anything you could be tomorrow if you'd like. If you've got a job you want to talk about and it can be anything. Start with I would love to have you on the show tonight Stephen is a heritage expert he loves the history of Oxford and very says he has no formal training heritage is his passion and he's busy with the upcoming Oxford open doors weekend in a month's time which we'll talk about. Welcome to the show it's good to have you. Really good to have you so 1st of all. I would suggest one Earth Well I wouldn't necessarily call my heritage are you about. The nation trust so my role about looking all men. And I think all our. I think for all our projects which include restoration projects relating to heritage and all sorts of gaiety and are also responsible for organizing and you'll Oxford open doors that OK I will talk about that in a bit actually when you mention events what kind of events do you put on then we go a range of those then throughout the year so they can range from tours of historic buildings tours all lands on landscapes they can be lectures and talks they can be Warks and what we try and do with all our event is the lead or given by someone who is an expert on that particular subject or of that particular building so why is it important to do this it's important to do this because heritage and culture is everywhere in our lives and it's not just about old buildings and not just about buildings it's about having estates a place and realising that that you have access to all this knowledge and through this and heritage and culture I mean essentially when you walk around somewhere like Oxford there is heritage and culture everywhere and you might be surprised how accessible it is to you would you say that Oxford's got more heritage than most other places where we're very lucky in Oxford because we do have so much I mean I always tell people when they're new to the city or even if they've been here a long time it's walk around don't just look at the street look up you know pay attention to what you're saying because a lot of history is visible on the street scene but mostly agree with you that his public for that is that love is run by the shell down in state and you've got the gargoyles on that bridge that is a very famous bridge is near that goes across from one building to another yeah the Bridge of Sighs Yes that's the one and I whenever I walk into that I always kind of look at the gargoyles and I always kind of has he seen so many films and so many like series in Fillmore 3 example is one that particular area by shouting state is a very very famous Yes and if you. Actually go around the back shoulder only in and look up at the old clear library you'll actually see some newer gargoyles which we actually ran a competition some years ago a design a car or competition and so there were those calicoes up there that were actually designed by children but it's amazing and you got stonemason to make up yes yes and we work with the property in the university on that it's amazing I love that idea because goggles are always obviously renowned for being old very very very old so how did the new ones compare with the old ones well you wouldn't notice now I mean they've they've weathered so it's worth going round and having a look because they're all different and you know I'm dying now did they did that was that could you tell design wise that they weren't made that long ago with a more modern gargoyles or would they still following that rule that basically based on stories basically so. Based on on on books and that's where the inspiration comes from but if you looked up unless you're paying attention you where they where but you wouldn't you wouldn't necessarily be able to tell you know I absolutely I mean there is so much history and Oxford like you say and I think especially for people listening right now that live in Oxford chair and I've been to Oxford or live in Oxford you can only get about all of that and you go to the Westgate new Westgate Shopping Center and you might get a bus down the up in road or 3 some a tower but actually there's so much that's just slightly out the way that's worth the walk around Yes And we're also it's not just a heritage in the city I mean we are so lucky to live in such a green city so I went for a walk the other day which is a walk that we organized and we walked through university parks up to the Vicki and you know and and it was amazing how quickly you can lead to build up city and feel like you're in the middle of the countryside so altered it's got something to offer everyone finally let's talk about in the Oxford open doors that is coming next month what's this all about Also there you can doors we run in partnership with the university and it's now. 12th year and a run as part of the National when you're interested in the stock Jaws is basically to share heritage and culture of all forms with local people so although any everyone's welcome it's a Prius band which runs on the 2nd weekend of September 14th 15th of September this year it's all about local people being able to access their heritage and culture and get behind closed doors so we have a range of different events across the university buildings and giving tours colleges opening town buildings playing on events we've been building up I wanted to go and see where Harry Potter was filmed that's maybe that chance yes so we've got a new college on the Sunday box but open to this year so you can go and run the cloisters which doubled as hope so I believe in the hard parts of them and we've got our if you want to see restoration in action we're currently doing a project to restore one of the units in the carpet market so you can go along and see that the theme this year is made in Oxford So for those that may be open each. Having a theme enables people to do something different sounds really good is there a website you can go to just quickly before we go Yeah like the gavel of the month and next week you'll be able to see all the new events listings in the website to go to it W W W dot Oxford Preservation Hall U.K. Steve and also thank you very much for being Tonight sucks that you have no problem at all really really good to have you on the show so still to come on the show before 7 show this Wednesday so James Les failed is going to be here to chew over some of the stories that have been happening in the shape as well over the last 48 hours on the way Roy Orbison you got N.B.C.

Yes So the issue the statement about this last night so sure was about 111130 people on overnight trains they were not coaches spitter attractive not from the Cornwall area so they were bit disappointed turning up the train stations that they didn't even know it was a shame really not brilliant Strictly Come Dancing that's on the way I say so I've got a nice about that as well yes they've been drip feeding the line up and I'm going to write. Everything confirmed today very exciting news I have to say she's looking pretty good for her agency Cherie she doesn't look at huge amount different when she's to do challenge an acre and that was late eighty's early ninety's No you completely. Seem To confident she says you got checked out of a ballet class and she's 7 years old but I mean you know people with our course Trixi maybe yeah I think she'd I think she's going to want to watch actually do you know who the other people that they've announced for this yes there's 14 others doing it including former Corrie star Catherine to English David James reality star Jamie Laing James Cracknell the Olympia. They've got a really broad range of people doing it so I think Jamie Lang's going to be one to watch as well because you know it comes from a very wealthy family I think he's probably had dance lessons to stop ever get. This folks the very popular girl actually yeah they are they always end up there where they were there with a massive following that night because of that because everyone loves a good soap OK And while our last story I have to say I'm not too sure whether I'm happy about this or not. Strictly finishes around Christmas time after that you put on a bit of home alone don't you we're going to have a new type of home alone now because there's going to be a remake. Of divided opinion you're obviously on the. I think it's I just don't know how they're going to do it because it's meant to be set in modern times new home alone. How is that going to work because surely when you know mom sits on the plane and goes. You know he just called a new back to the airport wouldn't he or he just Face Time there and. Lock the doors or what had he come back or pop over to melt or use again a bribe or they're like I don't know how they're going to do it.
