Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker.

:00:14.:00:15.

After 30 years as one of Britain's best loved comedians,

:00:16.:00:19.

tonight's guest has turned into a bit of a clock watcher, but then

:00:20.:00:22.

Ever wondered if your legs will last?

:00:23.:00:40.

Stop it, no, please, stop! Wellcome, Dawn French! Always lovely to see

:00:41.:01:07.

you. It is silly, just silly! How did that one come about? A past

:01:08.:01:16.

life, 40 years ago! Noel, 25 years ago, it was a Mickey take of an

:01:17.:01:19.

advertising and that was on at the time.

:01:20.:01:25.

Now Dawn, we call you a clock watcher because your new one woman

:01:26.:01:28.

If we're sticking with that theme you and Jennifer Saunders wrote that

:01:29.:01:33.

You are probably about right! It took us all afternoon.

:01:34.:01:41.

What have you seen recently that would be ripe for the French

:01:42.:01:44.

Needed programmes and adverts, anything could happen. I should say

:01:45.:01:52.

that The One Show is gagging for it... LAUGHTER

:01:53.:01:59.

Who would play who? I would like the jewellery... LAUGHTER

:02:00.:02:06.

I could lend you some stuff. We will be talking about the show, in about

:02:07.:02:11.

eight minutes. This is how we are going to do this.

:02:12.:02:17.

And Dawn, you may have heard the phrase "as

:02:18.:02:20.

much use as a chocolate teapot", well we've got one here and we'll be

:02:21.:02:24.

seeing Marty putting it to the test and brewing up in about 20 minutes.

:02:25.:02:27.

Are they any good? I have suddenly become very overexcited! You can

:02:28.:02:35.

even eat the spout of the teapot! And I will! Will it work with hot

:02:36.:02:41.

tea inside? 19 and a half minutes now!

:02:42.:02:45.

in March that was struggling with how they were going to implement

:02:46.:02:51.

the new government policy of free school meals for 4 to 7 years olds.

:02:52.:02:54.

Tony Livesey went to find out if their homework has paid off.

:02:55.:02:57.

When we last film, the food served to kids here had to be cooked at

:02:58.:03:07.

another school entirely and then taken across town. We do not have a

:03:08.:03:11.

kitchen in which we can cook fresh food. So the food is carried in? And

:03:12.:03:17.

kept warm? Lack of kitchen and money meant that headteacher could not see

:03:18.:03:21.

how a school could be ready for the big launch, Q, the government school

:03:22.:03:33.

dinner tsar. She has a challenge and we are here to help her with it.

:03:34.:03:38.

Five months on I am back here to find out what improvements they have

:03:39.:03:41.

made and more importantly to find out it every child in the infant

:03:42.:03:47.

school is eating for free. -- if every child. Deadline day, first day

:03:48.:03:52.

of the new term, has the headteacher passed her big test? Last time I was

:03:53.:03:56.

here, you were in despair as. We thought there was no way we could do

:03:57.:04:00.

this, we thought we could not continue with the service we were

:04:01.:04:03.

getting, because the school which cooked our meals needed to cook 130

:04:04.:04:08.

more meals, they could not help us. We felt stuck. What changed? We got

:04:09.:04:16.

the information and the knowledge that we needed to make informed

:04:17.:04:19.

decisions, we got that from the food trust. The government gave ?150

:04:20.:04:24.

million to local authorities to get school kitchens and dinner hall is

:04:25.:04:29.

up to scratch. City ?7,000 from Sutton Council, a fully working

:04:30.:04:33.

kitchen was bought by Katherine, in the form of a small but perfectly

:04:34.:04:40.

formed pod. It is not about what is on the outside, it is on the inside.

:04:41.:04:46.

Is it like the TARDIS? Do not judge a kitchen by its tiny little walls.

:04:47.:04:52.

It is impressive! It means that we are able to cook meals fresh

:04:53.:04:57.

on-site. We have our own team of caterers that are able to produce up

:04:58.:05:02.

to 250, 300 meals everyday. Michael, the caterer. How is it going? It is

:05:03.:05:11.

going very well! You want me to shut up and go away? I did not say that

:05:12.:05:15.

but I will need to get through, we have a lot to do! Time for me to get

:05:16.:05:20.

out of the way and catch up with the school dinner tsar. John Vincent,

:05:21.:05:25.

what are your first impressions? I have got to say I'm ecstatic, last

:05:26.:05:29.

time coming you were here, they were in despair, you know it was

:05:30.:05:35.

difficult. This is like a fairy tale ending. Should teachers have to

:05:36.:05:39.

worry about catering? It is the job of the headteacher to look after

:05:40.:05:42.

children when they are in the school, and looked after the

:05:43.:05:45.

well-being. For television chef Jamie Oliver, who began campaigning

:05:46.:05:50.

to improve school meals tenures ago, this day is long overdue. The job

:05:51.:05:54.

description of your everyday teacher and headteacher is getting longer

:05:55.:05:57.

and longer, but I think most teachers agree that feeding children

:05:58.:06:03.

correct on commence teaching, and learning, and retaining

:06:04.:06:06.

information. This is amazing. The government says more than 15,000

:06:07.:06:10.

schools met the deadline. A further 300 simple could not get him ready

:06:11.:06:14.

in time. -- could not get ready in time. First dishes are about to be

:06:15.:06:19.

served and the critics are queueing up. Roast turkey or vegetable wrap,

:06:20.:06:23.

and plenty of vegetables and salad, a far cry from where we were last

:06:24.:06:28.

time, pizza and sweetcorn. And what is more, there is not a chip

:06:29.:06:35.

insight! What do you think of the food? Fantastic! -- not a chip in

:06:36.:06:44.

sight. Is this better? Yes! Delicious! What do you like

:06:45.:06:50.

especially? Chicken! It has not just transformed lunch time, the denser

:06:51.:06:54.

the headteacher Catherine have been banished. The children's faces are a

:06:55.:06:59.

treat, they are seeing their food... They are spoiled for choice! And

:07:00.:07:05.

they are all talking about it. They are talking about it with each

:07:06.:07:09.

other. I'm very excited. You are getting emotional? I am welling up!

:07:10.:07:15.

Catherine can be pleased with it, the chef can tell me the roast was

:07:16.:07:18.

magnificent but the real test, what do the kids who ate the food thing?

:07:19.:07:24.

What would you give the lunch out of ten? Ten! CHEERING

:07:25.:07:29.

Lovely to see all of them tucking in and here is the kitchen team.

:07:30.:07:34.

How has it gone since then? Last week was a brand-new team, we had

:07:35.:07:48.

only been together five days, the team have settled in, working with

:07:49.:07:53.

the school. The kids faces, when you see them... You can see on their

:07:54.:07:58.

faces, when they see fresh vegetables. The salad bar... It has

:07:59.:08:07.

been an experience. It is working? Yes, the pod is working, we have

:08:08.:08:10.

found space, it is working very well. We could not believe how

:08:11.:08:15.

versatile it is, the salad bar, look at that. Children rejoicing in a

:08:16.:08:22.

salad bar? Do they really? ! What has been the big hit and what has

:08:23.:08:27.

not been so popular? They love the roast dinner and the chocolate

:08:28.:08:33.

beetroot brownie... Chocolate beetroot brownie? Fantastic! That

:08:34.:08:39.

can go with the teapot! They have loved everything, they have wanted

:08:40.:08:41.

to try it even if they have packed lunch. You said that you were

:08:42.:08:47.

traumatised as a child... I was a very fussy eater, we were forced to

:08:48.:08:52.

eat school dinner. This is so different, we do not force them to

:08:53.:08:55.

eat anything, we encourage them to try things. We have tasted pots.

:08:56.:09:01.

Every child is eating food and enjoying it, nobody is forced to eat

:09:02.:09:08.

anything. Once I was forced to eat liver, it reappeared quite

:09:09.:09:11.

quickly... ! LAUGHTER Sounds like it is going brilliant,

:09:12.:09:16.

good luck! If there is a few pupils out there with bleary eyes tomorrow

:09:17.:09:19.

morning, I think that they are allowed to stay up late to watch

:09:20.:09:24.

you! It is a big week for the young royals, congratulations to William

:09:25.:09:29.

and Kate on the day 's news, and everybody is getting behind Harry's

:09:30.:09:33.

Invictus Games, we will be bringing you the opening ceremony live on

:09:34.:09:37.

Wednesday on The One Show. Teams from 13 nations and all of the

:09:38.:09:40.

athletes are servicemen and women who have suffered injuries. What is

:09:41.:09:44.

it like for the families of those who have been wounded? I never

:09:45.:09:50.

thought that Rob would be in any immediate danger... I did not know

:09:51.:09:55.

how badly I had been injured... There was blood all over the carpet

:09:56.:10:01.

in the cabin... Don't worry, dad, safest job in the army, that is what

:10:02.:10:03.

I said. I am Rob, I served with the Royal

:10:04.:10:12.

Engineers, I was wounded in Afghanistan. I am Karen, Rob's

:10:13.:10:17.

partner. After the tour, he was due to get out, it was going to be a new

:10:18.:10:22.

start. It was all positive, wasn't it. We never thought about anything

:10:23.:10:27.

unimaginable happening... And it did. There was a loud bang, and I

:10:28.:10:35.

felt the entire vehicle jolt. It went pitch black. I fractured a

:10:36.:10:39.

vertebrae, in the thoracic spine, suspected brain injury as well. We

:10:40.:10:45.

got home, you found it difficult to get out of the car, he could not

:10:46.:10:48.

hear me when we were talking. His brain... We were not... He was not

:10:49.:10:53.

the same person, that went away in September. 18 months on, if somebody

:10:54.:11:00.

had said, 12 months ago, that we would be here now, doing these

:11:01.:11:03.

games... I would never have believed it. Since sport is back in his life,

:11:04.:11:06.

it has transformed him. I am Joan and, I am Craig's mother.

:11:07.:11:23.

I am Mike, his father. I was injured in 2013 when I was in the Royal

:11:24.:11:28.

Engineers, in Afghanistan. I am Craig. There was a bang that went

:11:29.:11:32.

off, I landed on the deck... Looked down, I had lost my left foot. My

:11:33.:11:38.

right leg was damaged as well. My groin area was... Very painful. I

:11:39.:11:43.

was laying on the floor. There was a knock on the door, two smartly

:11:44.:11:49.

dressed men in suits cut hair... Straightaway, I knew. Was so upset,

:11:50.:11:57.

I did not hear anything. He said, "you all right, news alive...

:11:58.:12:01.

Unfortunately we had to amputate his left leg". -- he is alive. He was a

:12:02.:12:09.

mass of wires... He has done very well to get used to living the way

:12:10.:12:13.

that he has got to live. I wish that it had never happened but it has. He

:12:14.:12:19.

has got on with life, it has not stopped him. I am very proud of him.

:12:20.:12:25.

My name is John strange, I was a chief Petty Officer on HMS Sheffield

:12:26.:12:31.

during the Falklands conflict, and this is my daughter, and my younger

:12:32.:12:37.

daughter. Initially, I remember a bang... By the time I came around

:12:38.:12:43.

and woke up again, the compartment was completely engulfed in flames. I

:12:44.:12:49.

was climbing up the ladder, I could see the skin falling from the back

:12:50.:12:53.

of my hands... He looked so different, he had lost weight,

:12:54.:12:57.

obviously with the burns as well, they were noticeable straightaway. I

:12:58.:13:02.

remember him saying, "I told you that I would come home to you". I

:13:03.:13:10.

gave him a big hug. It makes you very proud that he went through all

:13:11.:13:14.

of that, and life carried on as if it was normal. He went through hell,

:13:15.:13:18.

quite literally, and came out the other side. He was not changed by

:13:19.:13:28.

it. Incredibly sobering stories, and a reminder, the opening ceremony of

:13:29.:13:32.

the Invictus Games begins on Wednesday. You are already looking

:13:33.:13:38.

forward to this. Yes, Invictus is Latin for "unconquered" and that is

:13:39.:13:44.

what these guys and women are. In my opinion. Self mastery over massive

:13:45.:13:52.

adversity, huge courage, and sacrifice, on our behalf. That is

:13:53.:13:58.

the point. And the link to sport, I have nothing but praise. Good on

:13:59.:14:03.

Prince Harry, for coming up with the concept. We should talk about your

:14:04.:14:09.

one-woman show. 30 million Minutes, you have categorised your life into

:14:10.:14:12.

how many minutes it took to do certain things! How would you

:14:13.:14:17.

squished it all into 120 minutes on stage? ! I do skip a few bits which

:14:18.:14:22.

would be boring, I go to the interesting stuff. I worked out I

:14:23.:14:28.

have been alive for 30 million Minutes, 56 years, that is my age.

:14:29.:14:33.

So I thought, OK, I shall see if I can tell my life story, the good

:14:34.:14:38.

bits, the bad bits, the challenging bits, the joys and sorrows. As much

:14:39.:14:43.

as I can, encapsulating it all, and that is what we do. We have a laugh

:14:44.:14:47.

on stage but there is poignant bits as well. I do not shirk anything

:14:48.:14:52.

that might be a challenge. I take the audience to some difficult

:14:53.:14:56.

places but then it is my job to pick us all up. How therapeutic is that?

:14:57.:15:10.

Is it has been interesting. Talking about a family all things that have

:15:11.:15:15.

happened to me. Emotionally, lighter. I did not set out to do

:15:16.:15:19.

that but that definitely is happening. The whole thing is quite

:15:20.:15:26.

a new experience for you? Were used to seeing you as an author of late

:15:27.:15:35.

but the one-woman show, are I was absolutely terrified. All the way

:15:36.:15:41.

through rehearsals, I was directed by Michael grounded. That is what I

:15:42.:15:48.

wanted and he is also Cornish. I kept that lovely. But he kept saying

:15:49.:15:56.

to me, please take centre stage. Stand in the centre of the stage.

:15:57.:16:05.

Why are you bearing to I am not used to being in the centre was it

:16:06.:16:33.

wonderful when Jennifer the relationship has

:16:34.:16:50.

She does not come offering approval, I would seek approval, but she came

:16:51.:16:56.

to me with tears in her eyes, and that is enough for me. The Tories

:16:57.:17:03.

nationwide until December six. Right, not long now, before... Until

:17:04.:17:10.

the teapot? -- the tour is nationwide until December six.

:17:11.:17:17.

Smell the lid, just smell the lid of that teapot... LAUGHTER

:17:18.:17:24.

Not often somebody asks me to smell the lid... Is that OK? Before we eat

:17:25.:17:41.

the entire thing, we have a celebration of the most ridges of

:17:42.:17:45.

traditions, the cup of tea, with chocolate. The English language is

:17:46.:17:49.

full of unhelpful idioms pointing out the of unhelpful idioms pointing

:17:50.:17:54.

out favourites: Those that refer to useless inventions. As useful as an

:17:55.:17:59.

inflatable dartboard... A cat flap on a submarine... A chocolate

:18:00.:18:03.

teapot... Is building a chocolate teapot as ridiculous as it sounds?

:18:04.:18:09.

First, I need to look at why chocolate melts in the first place.

:18:10.:18:14.

One of the magical things about chocolate... At room temperature, it

:18:15.:18:20.

remains solid but at body temperature, it melts in your mouth.

:18:21.:18:26.

The secret ingredient that gives chocolate its perfect melting

:18:27.:18:28.

point, is also the substance responsible for its less desirable

:18:29.:18:39.

side-effect on the human... ! Fat! John is the Professor of liquid

:18:40.:18:42.

crystal chemistry at York University. Is making a chocolate

:18:43.:18:47.

teapot completely ridiculous? I don't think so, chocolate itself is

:18:48.:18:53.

hydrophobic, it will not dissolve in water, and it is a good thermal

:18:54.:18:57.

insulator. Heat would not get through the chocolate that quickly.

:18:58.:19:01.

The tea should not mix with the chocolate, and as the inside melts,

:19:02.:19:06.

it should provide a thermal barrier. Time to put the theory to the test.

:19:07.:19:12.

I need to make a chocolate teapot which is not useless, which can hold

:19:13.:19:15.

boiling water for at least two minutes. These four clear Perspex

:19:16.:19:20.

tubes have been filled with chocolate plugs of varying

:19:21.:19:24.

thickness. Next I'm putting recently boiled water on top of each one...

:19:25.:19:26.

Like this... And I'm going to see which one lasts

:19:27.:19:32.

for two minutes. So the half centimetre chocolate

:19:33.:19:49.

melted and the water came pouring through almost immediately. The

:19:50.:19:53.

centimetre thick chocolate, it lasted about one and a half

:19:54.:19:56.

minutes... Not bad, but not good enough for the teapot. The two

:19:57.:20:00.

centimetre chocolate, slight problem, it's developed a leak

:20:01.:20:04.

rather than melting, we cannot count that. The three centimetre

:20:05.:20:08.

chocolate, here, still holding strong. Clearly, we need to make a

:20:09.:20:15.

teapot with walls this deck. The master chocolate heir at Nestle,

:20:16.:20:19.

John Costello, has spent the last week trying to turn scientific

:20:20.:20:24.

theory into confectionery reality. -- master chocolate maker. I love my

:20:25.:20:35.

job! Fantastic! Repeated did things has provided a sphere which should

:20:36.:20:39.

hold boiling water. They chocolate balloon is one thing but for a

:20:40.:20:43.

teapot, we need a mould. It should be in one piece, instead

:20:44.:20:46.

teapot, we need a mould. It should egg, where you have two halves and

:20:47.:20:50.

you stick them together, we need structure and strength in one piece.

:20:51.:20:55.

Turn it upside down, drain out the chocolate. Only one way to test it.

:20:56.:21:03.

This is it, the moment of truth. I have got my boiling water and my tea

:21:04.:21:09.

bags, here we go... It has been one minutes... No sign of buckling, and

:21:10.:21:13.

it is completely called to the touch. -- cool. Looking pretty good!

:21:14.:21:29.

Writes... -- right Malton on the inside but the molten chocolate is

:21:30.:21:33.

clearly in selected the outside of the teapot, which is still... Which

:21:34.:21:39.

is still rock hard. -- it has gone Malton on the inside. There is

:21:40.:21:42.

definitely a hint of chocolate but it is not a bad cup of tea! -- it

:21:43.:21:51.

has gone Malton. Thanks to the incredible properties of this

:21:52.:21:54.

stuff, it is not as useless as you might think!

:21:55.:22:02.

Chocolate tea, and that is fantastic! Three centimetres thick.

:22:03.:22:10.

The spout on this does not quite work, we have got to tip it out this

:22:11.:22:15.

way... The most interesting bit is the melted bit inside here. Drink

:22:16.:22:23.

straight out of the teapot! I think that I'm going to drink in a very

:22:24.:22:24.

sophisticated manner... APPLAUSE

:22:25.:22:43.

While you are enjoying the teapot, a little quiz for you. Because the

:22:44.:22:46.

show is called 30 million Minutes, we have got three sets of minutes

:22:47.:22:52.

here, all about different periods in your life, and you have got to guess

:22:53.:22:55.

which they referred to. is a Vicar of Dibley. The amount of

:22:56.:23:13.

time that you spent on screen. That was a very long time, it was all

:23:14.:23:18.

over the news. We did make ?1 million for Comic Relief. I wish it

:23:19.:23:31.

had been longer! OK, good. That was the amount of time you have been

:23:32.:23:35.

friends with Jennifer Saunders. The other thing? That was the case. No,

:23:36.:23:42.

that was the amount of time I have spent exercising in my life! Today

:23:43.:23:47.

is the start of the abstract art season on the BBC and the one Show

:23:48.:23:51.

was involved in a spectacular event inspired by one of the founders of

:23:52.:23:54.

the movement, Mondrian. Ewan Thomas went to find out why Liverpool is

:23:55.:23:58.

hosting a block party with a difference. In 1940, a Dutch painter

:23:59.:24:06.

arrived in Liverpool to set off at his new life in America. His name

:24:07.:24:13.

was Piet Mondrian, and his abstract art would become recognisable over

:24:14.:24:17.

the world for its precise grades and geometric locks, influencing

:24:18.:24:20.

everything from architecture and fashion and hair gel to even baking.

:24:21.:24:28.

Today, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of abstract art. A

:24:29.:24:32.

pioneering painter who did by using just coloured rectangles and it is

:24:33.:24:39.

good but just lines and squares? Why is his work so influential? A short

:24:40.:24:46.

walk from the pier, a major exhibition at Tate Liverpool is

:24:47.:24:49.

showcasing his modernist masterpieces. The curate is

Francesco. What makes this so special? You can imagine they are

:24:57.:25:01.

completely revolutionary, at the beginning of the century, Cubism and

:25:02.:25:06.

Picasso fragmented a figure from different perspectives and Mondrian

:25:07.:25:11.

at the idea of using primary colours to represent new relationships and

:25:12.:25:17.

death inside one canvas. How did he produce something so different?

:25:18.:25:22.

Abstract art is about taking something and reducing it to its

:25:23.:25:26.

most simple all elements, like the roof and the side and the floor and

:25:27.:25:30.

removing anything unnecessarily. So it becomes something completely

:25:31.:25:35.

different yet the essence does still remain. What Mondrian did was take

:25:36.:25:40.

the style of painting one step further, creating art that had

:25:41.:25:43.

absolutely no basis in the real world. And one run in the exhibition

:25:44.:25:49.

shows how he planned to take this approach further. It feels like I am

:25:50.:25:54.

walking into one of his paintings. In some ways it is, this is a

:25:55.:25:59.

reconstruction of his studio in Paris in 1926, which is where he

:26:00.:26:03.

painted most of his famous paintings and for him, this is a living and

:26:04.:26:08.

working space and it is like a laboratory. Mondrian saw his

:26:09.:26:13.

painting as a first stage of his art, he wanted this relationship

:26:14.:26:16.

between colour and the lines and the shape to become like something

:26:17.:26:20.

invading the world, to become his biggest architecture. This is the

:26:21.:26:24.

only place where he could experiment, you can see the stiffer

:26:25.:26:30.

and squares and different shapes of colours that literally look as if

:26:31.:26:33.

they have just migrated from the canvas. In 1938, with Europe on the

:26:34.:26:39.

brink of war, Mondrian letter studio for London. And two years later, he

:26:40.:26:45.

came to Liverpool to set off on a journey that would take his

:26:46.:26:48.

revolution to America. Although he was only here for one night, do you

:26:49.:26:52.

think Liverpool represents a fresh start for him? Definitely, you can

:26:53.:26:57.

imagine one of the inventors of abstract art living in Europe, he

:26:58.:27:02.

took that to the new continent and this iconic moment happened in this

:27:03.:27:09.

very city. Mondrian died in 1944. 70 years later, the people of Liverpool

:27:10.:27:13.

are preparing to pay tribute to the artist on a massive scale. For

:27:14.:27:24.

weeks, village halls and community centres have been gearing up for

:27:25.:27:31.

something special. A huge public event involving hundreds of people.

:27:32.:27:39.

The idea is to create a giant living artwork inspired by the great man

:27:40.:27:44.

himself. And the designer in charge of this is Stephen Graham. So, this

:27:45.:27:50.

man-made piece of artwork with 1000 moving jigsaw pieces? I want them to

:27:51.:27:55.

move and the idea is this is completely living, this is a

:27:56.:27:59.

completely unique experience for everyone involved and the viewers

:28:00.:28:02.

because we will not have seen anything like this before. It works

:28:03.:28:07.

in our head but let us see what happens on the day! And the Mondrian

:28:08.:28:13.

exhibition will be running at the Tate Liverpool until the 5th of

:28:14.:28:18.

October and you can see how that inspired people for the big event.

:28:19.:28:24.

And the BBC Four series, abstract artists in their own words, starts

:28:25.:28:28.

tonight at 9pm. I am looking forward to that. You will try to catch this?

:28:29.:28:35.

Yes, Mondrian was great, because children love him because it is

:28:36.:28:38.

exactly what they want to do, colouring in between black lives.

:28:39.:28:44.

Neoclassicism, it was called! We have run out of time, you can see

:28:45.:28:49.

Don's one-woman show, 30 minutes from tomorrow, and the nationwide

:28:50.:28:56.

tour in December. Tomorrow, we will have Rick Stein. Good night!

:28:57.:29:08.

It's summer term! CHEERING
