Five A.M.: a city before it wakes00:00–01:25 of 12:48

  1. 100:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600
    [AMBIENT STREET SOUND]
  2. 200:00:04,000 --> 00:00:10,400
    Before the first bus, the city has a sound you only hear once a day.
  3. 300:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,800
    We spent a week recording it, street by street, from three until six.
  4. 400:00:19,000 --> 00:00:27,200
    The ovens go on at three. By five, the street smells like bread before it looks like morning.
  5. 500:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,100
    Amara has opened this bakery every day for nineteen years.
  6. 600:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,200
    People think it's quiet at this hour. It isn't quiet. It's just early.
  7. 700:00:41,000 --> 00:00:51,000
    You hear the shutters. The delivery vans. The man who sweeps in front of the pharmacy, always the same song.
  8. 800:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,400
    What song?
  9. 900:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,500
    [LAUGHS] He'd never tell you. I've asked him for ten years.
  10. 1000:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
    At ten past five, the street lights switch off, one block at a time.
  11. 1100:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,000
    That's my favourite minute. The lights go, and for a moment nobody is in charge of the street.
  12. 1200:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
    Then the first bus turns the corner, and the day starts keeping time.
