Me again!

Today's annoying enquiry is about removing a hearth and putting floorboards above it.

Here's a video of someone doing it:

Is this a good method, laying the boards directly on top of the flattened hearth rubble?
What is it they're using on top of it to stick them down?

I cant help with the flooring questions, but I'd be wary of ways for damp to wick across there. (I'm a bit of a one track minded broken record in that respect)

Is there a DPC under there?

It's on the first floor above the kitchen and dining room so I was hoping that wouldn't be too much of an issue for me.

Would some sort of membrane between the concrete and boards help though?
