Transcript
00:00 It's about Nicholas Winton.
00:02 An extraordinary story about a young man who visited Prague.
00:06 What he found there were thousands of refugees.
00:09 He was mortified knowing that they would all go to concentration camps.
00:12 So he decided, heroically, without any fanfare, to rescue as many as he could.
00:17 He managed to save over 600 children.
00:21 He kept a scrapbook, meticulously kept all the names of the children.
00:24 And he didn't want any publicity, nobody knew about it.
00:27 And he was exposed publicly by Esther Ranston.
00:31 This young man decided that something had to be done.
00:35 That YouTube clip lives out there. Millions of people have watched it.
00:39 Anybody who watches it gets overwhelmed.
00:43 We make it feel like it would for him.
00:46 We travel into the studio on Nicky's shoulder.
00:48 Thirty seconds to on air!
00:51 Someone had this brilliant idea.
00:53 We should fill the audience with children of the people that Nicky saved.
00:57 So when you get to that moment that Esther Ranston says,
01:00 "Anybody owes their life to Nicky Winton, please stand up."
01:03 They do, because they do owe their lives to that man.
01:06 And here we are, you've survived.
01:08 There's not a dry eye on the set floor at all, just sobbing.
01:12 Can I ask, is there anyone in the audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton?
01:19 If so, could you stand up please?
