03/03/2014 The One Show

about to start. Mary's baked us a cake and everything. I know. Very

tasty it is too. Hello and welcome to The One Show

with Alex Jones. Tonight's guest is a star baker who's returning to our

screens this evening, proving why she's Britain's best loved home

cook. Yes, please welcome Mary Berry. Alex has been chomping on

your cake for a while. That was a lovely Lemon drizzle cake. You are

going to be telling us about your pancake tapes. I am, yes. She has

been given a challenge for Sport Relief. It would be a bit of a

cliffhanger. They call it moonlight buttress. Three miles west of Las

Vegas and taller than the shard. They are gambling on me getting to

the top. I have never, ever climbed before. I am not very sporty. The

whole thing terrifies me stop today is my first ever climbing lesson.

Let's focus on making sure you have good foot placement. I want you to

traverse along this wall. After some baby steps on the practice wall, Ben

shows me what lies ahead. I am not sure why Sport Relief are confident

I can do it because I am not. That is it. You are joking. It is

slightly overhanging most of the way. This is the actual buttress. It

is massive. It is massive. You might be climbing from 6am through to 7pm.

Sometimes you climb through the night. I do not know how I am with

heights at that level. I do not know if I am fit enough. I am scared.

Being frightened is not an option. So, why am I doing it? Last year, I

went to Malawi to see some of the projects funded by Sport Relief.

That made me really determined to raise even more money this year.

When you see these projects and meet these people and realise how much of

a difference there is between your life and there is, you cannot help

but want to do something. This time, it is my turn. Taking me up a level,

then sets his sights on making me climb a higher wall. This is 12.5

metres. You will be climbing something around 600, 700 metres.

Less than half a minute in, I am already struggling. That is what it

will feel like to go up. Oh, my God! I think we are going to have to

stop. It is a weak challenge but I want to

be able to complete it. -- a big challenge. I do not know if I will

be able to. You have to be very fit. Even after that's quite short

climb, my arms are really aching badly. So, to help me increase my

strength, there is only one man for the job. Meet Professor Greg White.

He has helped David Williams and John Bishop reach peak fitness for

their past challenges. Today, I get my MOT. So, are you going to give me

the bad news or the bad news? Greg tells me how fit I am not. The

average score is 44.9. You score 37.6. Shocking! Squeezed it can

squeeze it. We need to make her strong and endurable. She needs

incredible strength and endurance to climb over successive days. It is

really important that we hammered it. I will make you strong. Some

people see me as kind of the fluffy the One Show presenter. I am going

to get my climbing gear on and go all the way to the top and I will

not be fluffy. She is not fluffy. You have literally been on top of

the BBC building. That was enough. I am petrified. Do not worry, with us

now is a man who will be keeping Alex saved in Utah will stop it is

Andy Kirkpatrick. Let's have another look at the rock face that Alex will

be climbing. This is not for the faint-hearted. Going down the side

of this building is probably more scary. You can see the tiny

climber. How big a challenge is this? For a really experienced

climber, who has been climbing for ten years, a really massive

challenge. How long have you been climbing? It is coming up to six

weeks. It makes it easier than when you get it then it will be way

harder than a normal person. Maybe not realising what it is like living

on the wall, sleeping on the ball and going to the toilet on the wall,

all those kinds of things. I have seen Google images of it and all the

rest of it in different guidebooks but I have never seen it. That is

the first time I have realised how big it is. It must be terrifying

going to sleep on it. It is a couple of days, if not three, four days

climb. Look at that for a view! Is that just you? Andy and me. They

said, the second night we will be sleeping at the same level as the

top of the Shard. Is that right? That is 1000 feet high at least. If

you drop anything, it will fall into space. You cannot be clumsy. I am

worried about the fitness side of things. He is a funny lad. He is a

stand-up comedian as well. I am not supposed to be funny. He is on tour

as well. There is a good reason for doing this. This year, we are

raising money for the victims of the terrible typhoon in the Philippines.

I have recently been out to see some of the relief work being done. It

killed an estimated 6000 people and left thousands of children without

families. You have all these children playing around these grades

and they have kind of normalised it. Connie, it is just like feeling

somebody 's pain. The woman is in bits. The children are lucky they

have got age merely on their side. They do not really understand what

has happened. You know, Connie has lost the man she loves. You have

always supported us. Now's your chance to be among the first to

donate. Texts cost ?5 plus your standard network message charge and

?5 per text goes to Sport Relief. You must be 16 or over and please

ask the bill payer's permission. For full terms and conditions and more

information, go to bbc.co.uk/sportrelief. It is quite a

moment. It is out there. Go for it. You will be brilliant. You really

will. Good luck! One thing that will keep me going during the climb,

while I'm eating dried fruit, is dreaming about one of Mary's cakes.

And tonight Mary's back behind the kitchen counter with an array of

mouth-watering recipes and some interesting tips. I have difficulty

in keeping chocolate in our house. Everyone seems to find it. I have a

secret hiding place. That is in the draw with my tights. I have exactly

what I wanted and there were no pieces out of it. Gently heat 100

mils of double cream and stir in 200 grams of milk chocolate until it has

completely melted. Leave to cool until it thickens. For the

decoration, melt 100 grams of white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of

hot water. The bolt and the water must not touch or the chocolate will

get too hot and separate. First things first, how much chocolate do

you have in your tights drawer? I would think about three packets at a

time. If it is on the shelves, it disappears in small pieces. You go

to weigh up for something like that cake and it is not there. It is not

just cakes, is it? I am cooking for occasions. A kitchen supper and a

summer party. My wife, this weekend, cooked the chicken in the fennel.

That was lovely. And the duck with the mango. Isn't that easy! I was

going to do it this weekend and someone stole the book. I think I

might find you another one. There are some useful tips in the book. I

have told you what you can do ahead. We are all busy. Mums are doing

school runs, they are working, whatever, and you want to get

ahead. I have said you can deal ahead and what to do on the night.

It is all the special recipes but for all sorts of occasions. Tonight,

I am cooking with my grandchildren. It is cakes and it is all 40. Like a

cream tea. We move on to have lunch in the garden and suppers. You know

how to keep some edges fresh off a tee time. Sky I make damages fresh

and cut off the crusts. Do not be making them with cucumber or tomato.

Put in ham and things that will keep. You cram them all totally

prepared onto a tray and then you put damp kitchen paper or a damp tea

towel and then clingfilm on top. Put the tray into your fridge and they

will be just as good. If you buy a sandwich in a store, it has always

been made the day before. It is a real tip. We opened the gardens for

National Gardens and they are always fresh.

We were surprised it has been 43 years since your first television

appearance. We have found your first appearance. I will not know it.

There you are! Beautiful! What are you eating? This was with Arthur

Amigas on an antiques programme in Bristol. I had to do a Georgian

dinner. There was a boar 's head and I had to cook sparrows. They arrived

in a plastic bag. I am terrified of dead birds. I said I will cook them

but you will have to take off the feathers. They were just like tiny

quail. You cook a lot of birds. I do not like them with the feathers on.

In my new series, I am doing guinea foul and chicken. They are delicious

birds. Are you very excited tonight? You are on there as a cook.

I am back cooking as well as baking. It is for six weeks, every Monday.

It is great. We are delighted that the Bake Off is coming back.

You know more than we do! It won't change, we are on BBC One now, it'll

be just the same, it won't change. I hope everybody will still enjoy it.

I am sure they will enjoy indulging in your cookbook as well. Mary's

book is out now. We will be home at time! When it comes to school

dinners, we'd all like Mary to be behind the counter. Sadly kids,

that's not going to be possible, but there are changes underway to

introduce free meals in primary schools. As Tony Livesey discovers

though, putting food on the table is giving many headteachers

indigestion. This school is a fairly well

resourced primary school in Surrey and it will have to provide free,

healthy meals to all infants from September this year. It all sounds

great but the headteacher here is one of many who doesn't think they

will be ready for September. It will be tricky for the headteacher as the

school is missing a key ingredient. We currently don't have a kitchen

where we can cook fresh food. So it is buried in and keep it warm here?

That's correct. We do in 19 meals but it will be increased to about

240, all from here. Her supply has told her that they cannot meet the

increased demand. To build a proper kitted it could cost up to ?250,000.

Viewers may be thinking, scrap the swimming pool and put a kitchen in.

Even if we were to, we would need to find two build the kitchen. We need

to provide fresh, appetising meals but we need the investment. Help

could be at hand. Sally is at hand to share her expertise. She is the

client catering manager for new which politics the scheme. With her

is John Vincent, a restaurant entrepreneur commissioned by the

government to improve school meals. Why is important we addressed this

now? School food is at the heart of a major health problem we have. 20%

of children leaving school at age 11 Art of peace. It is not just about

happiness and health, it is about how clever children are, how will

they do later in life. Both of the pilots in the UK, the children in

the pilot 's two months more advanced than children in other

areas. To kick-start the plan, the government has put aside ?1 billion

in the next two years. Local authorities have also had money

allocated for facilities but with funds rate thinly, it is a struggle

to convince the council to spend their chair of the pot on the

school. The challenge of having a kitchen is one that schools do face

and they face them in your area? We still have three schools where we

have to bring food in. It isn't the preferable option but it is the way

it is. The size of a kitchen does lend itself to be a finishing off

kitchen so there could be some cooking on site to be done.

Catherine has agreed to visit one of the pilot schools in Nuremberg.

Here, all meals are served for free and eaten by 90% of the children.

This is a world away from what she has in her school. You couldn't

afford that in a million years. My suggestion would be, talk to the

local authority. I don't think it's something that can be done on a

small-scale, one by school. We feel this is the part of our school

that's missing. The Tilden are really enjoying their dinners, that

doesn't happen at our school. -- the children. One solution could be a

mobile kitchen or pod, like this one in Enfield, fully funded by the

local authority. This is our pod, where they managed to cook 400

lunches a day. Some customers purchased these pods, others take

them on a contract hire basis so there is potential of obtaining a

pod without any capital purchase. The team sits down to help Catherine

digest her options. Option one has to be continuing with the same

process, but better food. Plan B is to be looking at the council all

looking at the private caterer to come and invest the money in the

kitchen because they know that the number of children you have here

could start making money every year to pay that off. That caterer can

potentially borrow money so they are paying it off annually. Thirdly,

bring it in-house, and did he do that, there are ways, with pods.

Each of those options will be possible without the school covering

the expenditure. So do she see a way forward for September? Is certainly

given me things to think about, there are some options I hadn't

known about which I hadn't... I have books of messages to give to people

in the local authority, but the bottom line is, I do think we need

to capital investment into our kitchen project. John Vincent, who

we saw in the film is here now. Loads of schools will be in this

position. Now, that headteachers know they have options, including

leasing the equipment rather than having to pay upfront. If I can send

any child or headteacher to get involved, there are websites with

lots of help. We have had an update from Sutton Council, they say there

is no doubt that every child in Sutton will receive a meal at

lunchtime from September. They are increasing the signed of size of the

hops. What would you say to the parents who say they're packed

lunches are more nutritious than what they would get in school?

Parents know how tricky it is to get packed lunches that are healthy, 1%

of packed lunches meet food standards, that's how difficult it

is. Were school dinners have two. -- whereas. You have put something

along to show us, have put something along to show us, Avenue? As part of

the whole plan, it's about food that is healthy, it is about cooking,

growing and as part of experiencing food, it's about getting food to

more children. Where does this come Inc was Mac --? This is a smaller

version of the cube which houses equipment to serve the children from

an extra point. A lot of schools in Darren, new home, have found that

they needed an extra serving point to cope with the huge numbers of

children and wanted to food. This is secondary schools? I think it's

splendid. Lots of room in here. Because it is Shrove Tuesday to mark

your making pancakes? Start off with a good batter. Start off with eggs,

flour and milk, doesn't matter if it is plain or self raising. I know you

have brought your own spatula! This is the perfect sized pan, seven

inches. How quick have you got -- thick have you got that? Ideally

they should be very thin but if you have a big family, make them thick

so you can fill them up more. If you are in a hurry, you make it, you use

it. Lemon and sugar, perfect. Everybody knows that Mary doesn't

like soggy bottom, but that was the destiny for a revolutionary

invention by a Victorian vicar. In December 1995, died made an amazing

discovery. Off the coast of North Wales Police the Irish Sea, lies the

risk of the historic piece of naval history. The wreck was one of

Britain's first ever submarines. But ironically, she sank just out there

on her first manned voyage in 1880. The industrial revolution generated

exciting engineering innovations and new breed of inventor who dared to

imagine the impossible. One of them was the Reverend George Garrett, an

eccentric clergyman and engineer. In 1879, dreamt of building a submarine

driven by the great invention of the day, steam power. Marine historian

Mike Boyer has studied his life. He was someone who believed in

something that controlled his life. But his brain wouldn't sit still. He

had got to be inventing things, doing things all the time. You have

the original design there? He drew on the back of the below, the design

for the submarine. It was all done in a short space of time, probably

minutes. That is a real scribble! Absolutely, this is what I want, can

we do it? In eight months, you had it turned into this. The submarine

Inc system to recycle the steam from the engine and it was paid for with

funds from his enterprising clergyman. Worst today Ark Futura

submarines take on water as ballast to help them dive, -- whereas today

submarines take on water, this one had to carry two tonnes of coal to

carry the steam needed. Where did you get the idea? I don't know,

sorry from the unique character. Eccentricity, taken to the extreme.

Garrett, pictured here with his young son and crew, persuaded a

British naval officer to inspect the prototype in Portsmouth, which meant

getting there by C. Although there were no witnesses, his account says

getting it there with his crew travelling from Birkenhead to real,

fully submerged. During the next leg, the Hatch took on water.

Garrett and the crew escaped but his beloved submarine sank. The biggest

flaw was the fact he didn't build it and tested it, he just took it

straight out and wanted to use it straightaway. It was just an

engineering disaster. I have been given a special licence to see the

wreck first-hand. And here it is. Just lying here in the murky water.

That's fantastic! It hard to believe this was built by

a vicar over 130 years ago. So much of the rest of the structure

still remains, like this massive air intake, encrusted by marine life.

And she is tiny. It must've been a real squeeze for the three inside.

Undeterred by its catastrophic maiden voyage, he didn't give up.

With the money from the fate long gone, he found the back and the

prototypes to the military in Greece, Turkey and Russia, but they

were all unconvinced and refused to buy them. He died in poverty in

America aged 50, his streams in tatters, but is pioneering design

did make an impact. From 1879, all submarines have been shaped more or

less like this one, fast in the water, it was very efficient. He

left a legacy will stop --. What a legacy! This was your first

cookbook, Mary! Isn't it lovely? We have got that at home! Loads of

people have, over 2 million copies sold! You can join her tonight at

8:30pm on BBC Two. Tomorrow we're joined by John Barrowman.
