11/11/2011 The One Show

Let's welcome Gary Barlow! How does it make you feel? Not nice.

The problem is, you are in a big bubble and things are just

happening in front of you. That is my only excuse. The pantomime is

back, the biggest pantomime on television. Somebody has left, they

have been replaced by somebody else, it was on the front page of the

paper, you are part of the pantomime. How does it feel to be

part of the whole thing? I have always been a big fan but being a

part of it is pretty exciting. You do get caught up in it. No matter

where you go, people want to give Liu Song choices, tell you what

they think of the Act, it is constantly your life -- give you

sans choices. Simon is constantly a villain, what have you cast

yourself as? I don't know. I am trying to be honest, say what I see.

Sometimes I get it right and sometimes, I get it a little bit

wrong. It is compelling, as always. At 6am this morning, Matt Baker hop

on his rickshaw to start his journey from Edinburgh to London.

Day one is almost over. He is just about still going. We hope. There

he is. Come on. Well done! A round of applause, everyone! I don't know

if he can here house? Has today been -- if he can here ask? Has

today been the hardest? I don't know if you are asking me questions

but it has been incredible. This has been the story of the whole day.

There were people out cheering us, all away, everyone has been coming

out. -- all the way. We had a little collection as we went. I'm

talking about coins. You'll never believe how much money we have

raced in coins. �1,000 in coins. It is unbelievable. It has been a

fantastic experience. It has been pretty tough. It is the wind, I did

not expect the wind, I knew about the revolutions, going up the hills.

When you hit the weather, it is like a wall. It has been superb.

This is the story of what happened until lunchtime today.

Despite the dark and chilly temperature, crowds turned up to

wave him off at 6 o'clock am from outside Edinburgh Castle, with

Pudsey in tow. Goodbye, Edinburgh, see you later! I feel like I am in

the Tour de France. Just over a mile down, 483 to go. By mid-

morning, Matt was out of the city and enjoying what he loves best,

the countryside. Look at this, it is wonderful. And spurred on by the

first of many offers for support. But only 30 miles in, his trainer

was having serious concerns. Got a little bit of pain from right leg.

Matt's determination did not desert him for long and after physio, he

was soon back on track. The wind here, I am trying to make myself as

aerodynamic as possible. We have hit a patch where we have dropped

to about four miles an hour. By 11 o'clock, Pudsey took a breather to

give Matt a chance to get up his first major hill, and it was a real

challenge. This is relentless. The more you paddle, you actually don't

go any faster. -- pedal. This is definitely the worst bits so far.

It is just grim. Coming through this valley, the wind is blowing

achoo. I am just... I don't know. Just turning my legs, really.

when things got really desperate, but people had gathered to give

Match Of The Day 2 the Scottish welcome he needed. -- to give Matt

the Scottish rock and he needed. -- Scottish welcome. I have had a rest

and a meat pie and now I have a piper in the back, things don't get

much better. Hello, a brass band and everything! Yes, I love it!

Well done, Matt, an amazing effort. We will let you catch your breath

and talk to you more in a bit. You can donate without texting:

send a cheque to the address on the bottom of the screen. Gary will not

be donning a pair of cycling shorts. I have done that, that was a few

years ago. You are doing your bit for Children In Need this year.

Tell us about Children In Need rocks. Next Thursday, live on BBC

One at 8 o'clock, it is the second time we have done this. We did it

in 2009 at the Albert Hall, now we are taking it out of London, we are

going up north to Manchester. We have an amazing bill. It will be

two hours of pure music, entertainment, all kinds of acts.

I did it last time as well. I think it is important that we rally

around, the people in music rally around and talk to each other. As

usual, people have been giving their time and their effort,

everyone has been so lovely about it, we will have a lovely night.

Did everyone say yes? Or do we need to shout at any one question

Lady Gaga is on. We have got Coldplay. Jesse J, elbow, but

chilly, Michael Buble. It is a pretty good line-up. You are

performing as well. I am going to be snicking a song in there. You

can't get rid of me! You are in charge of the Children In Need

single. I have been involved in it. This is the collective, this track

is called the teardrop and it is the official single. It is a great

week and it makes you proud to be British. It has been going for 27

years. Tulisa is one of the artists. She is the lead singer. We are very

excited. Released on Sunday night. How about you and Twitter, you are

on their now. I have had to be on there. At the beginning of X Factor,

they said you have to join Twitter because the other judges have it

and it will give them an unfair advantage. I can see what is coming.

This is what you put on their, pictures of you having a cup of tea

in various marques. People say the fans are interested in what you are

doing so I usually start every morning with a cup of tea, and I

have got a few mugs. You have one sales of its of things. One says,

my life -- my wife is lucky. -- you have got them saying all sorts of

things. This one is going to be perfect. We want this on the desk.

You are doing very well on there. But my friend Jason is on there and

I want him to win. You can't say that now, you are on the one show.

I watch X Factor back on a Sunday morning and I also watch Strictly.

Now that Leuluai has gone, I am This is quite important, how many

people are in take that as we speak? Thank you for that one, I

didn't see that on the script. We had an honest... We are looking for

a number. I would say four. Which one is not there? Robbie is doing a

solo album next year. He is in and out. There was a reason for that,

not just to get that out of you. As far as one a little girl was

concerned, her dad was the six member of Take That for a while. --

A Million Love Songs was the 6th single to be released from Take

That's debut album, Take That And Party in 1992. They had yet to

become the chart-topping megastars they were said to be, but the

single peaked at number seven and was their second top 10 hit.

# Le Million Love songs later. But the song was destined to sign -

- find a place in people's hearts, in no little part to the saxophone

riffs that makes it so distinctive. In 1990, manager Nigel Martin-Smith

decided to form a British group who could rival the success of New Kids

On the Block. Gary Barlow's songwriting abilities quickly won

him a place in the group and soon, four more members were found. Their

music producer, Ian Levine, was looking for a romantic sound that

would complement the sentimental song. He turned to jazz saxophonist

Snake Davis. How did you get to work with Take That? I didn't

realise I was getting involved with them, really. It was one take, a

quick listen to the backing track, headphones on, playgroup and record

and off you go. -- play and record. I'm pretty sure it was a one take

thing. Just literally played it wants. I remember asking if I could

perhaps go in again and replace a couple of things. There is one out

of tune note in there, just before Gary comes in. Don't tell us where

How did they present the song live? When I first saw it on TV, there

was an impostor, a stand-in, minding my part. But then you got

to play with the band? I got in touch, I said, it was my solo and

if there is a chance, do you think I could come and do the TVs, and

they said, yeah. So then I took That first album went double

platinum, are you now minted? worked it out when it got so famous,

a got a couple of hundred quid for the session, which works out about

17 or 18 quid for a million love songs. How do you feel about the

song? I am more proud than ever of my involvement, it is lovely that

it has become so big and they have become so big. It is great when

things get a second life. My daughter is 16, she sent me a text

and said, it is so beautiful, what you played. I have listened to that

20 times. I thought, that is it. That meant more than anything to me,

really. In 2010, and Million Love songs was voted the greatest love

song ever, and continues to play a key part in the band's live acts is

they reformed in 2005. Snake has gone on to make his mark as a solo

artist but the ref that sets the track a blaze will always be his,

Is it right that you wrote that song when you were 15? Yes. I get

loads of people have danced to that at their weddings. It was lovely to

see that, great. You have a DVD out. Yes, Progress Live. Let's have a

look. We are at the highest point we can be. It feels good, strong.

It has ranged from brilliant, to religious, to life defining. That

was Mark, saying we are at the highest point possible. So you get

to the highest point and a new packet in for a couple of years.

What is going on? We have not packed it in. You're not doing

anything for a while will stop up the last five years have been

insane, so we are having a year off. Has it been five years already for

the? All of the girls at home will be wanting to know if you will be

back. Another tour, another album? Hopefully both. You are writing for

Robbie. How does that work? Does he pay? He says he is going to, but he

does not. I have been doing it for fun. I do not know how the album

will turn out, but we have fun writing together. Looking at the X

Factor, Simon Cowell signs the cheques there. I have not had a

boss for years! Does he ring you up and tell you what to say? No, he is

a great motivator. He is a good driver for things to be better all

the time, as am I. I love talking with him. How often do you get

phone calls from him? Every couple of weeks, a text here or there.

Give us a typical text. A couple of weeks ago I did something with

Frankie when he walked in through the crowd and I got a text, job

done, well done. Tell us about the other ones! Job not done? Never

like that. Always stuff to make it better. When they offer you the job,

how long did it take before you decided to do it? Was said to the

producers when they offered me the job, listen, I would love to say

yes but I have to ask the real head judge, my wife. So I went home and

checked it with her. We asked the kids and they were cool, so we said

yes. Did you discuss it with your mum? She is the biggest X Factor

Pham. To her, it is the first thing I have ever done that has been good

in my career. She comes to the show a lot. You have got your boys here

tonight. A round of applause. awkward, Marcus and Craig.

cannot ask me. That is not my job. The audience choose. If you could

vote off one of the judges, who would it be? Let me think. Louis

Walsh. The I am not playing to the cameras, I am being honest. Back in

your cage, Lily. I swear, he is still not talking to me. Does that

bother you? No. How much of it is for the cameras? When we were doing

the auditions, the producers would ask for more disagreement, but at

this point it is totally real. obviously enjoying it. Could you

say whether you will do next year? I could not say, because we still

have five weeks to go but at this present time, I think I would do it

again. Good luck with your boys. Gary might be searching for the

next pop star but we are looking for the next big thing in trifle.

We are very excited. My favourite. If you have your recipes made it to

boot camp and the final three reached Jay's house. We had to hire

a kitchen because his house was a bit messy. Is there anything more

British and comforting than a big, boozy, creamy trifle? We are on the

hunt for the best One Show trifle. We have sifted the applications

looking for skill and originality, and it is down to three finalists

who reckon theirs is the best. Jean, Menna and Emily have got this far.

Now they have to impress me and my fellow judge, chef Angela Gray.

Angela, what are you looking for? Lots of layers of delicious sweet

things. The right texture, not to gelatinous. Basically makes me want

to go back for more. Julie in, or jelly out? I have a foot in both

camps. I grew up with the jelly in the trifle and custard and

everything and hundreds and thousands. It is really about what

you like, and done really well. Come let's get down to it. First

contestant, Emily, is following her grandmother's Traditional recipe.

Not just one layer of jelly, but two. It stops the cake at the

bottom floating into the fruit. It is in different sections. It is

like building the pyramids. It is how it has always been done and we

like the way it looks. Our second finalist, Menna, is the queen of

home-made. Lovely. I am pleased with that. She is making it from

scratch, a cherry trifle. You are making everything yourself. The

sponge, the custard, what about the jam? Home-made jam. And do you make

your own yoghurt? I used to. Who do you make the drive for four?

children have left home so I feed the neighbours. Jean has been

making her recipe for 30 years, a trifle of convenience, with shop-

bought custard and jam. I did put sherry in, didn't I? You did.

could put some more end. It is up to you. I think we will just leave

it be. OK. This trifle does have a twist, biscuit and a crunchy almond

topping. As well as the juice, bits of the fruit are going in as well.

Yes, one of the five a day. It is healthy now. If only we could all

of us get our five a day from trifle.

They are ready, time for the judging. Starting with Emily's,

that has a retro look. What is striking is that it is not over

sweet. The texture is really nice, too. This bunch is a little bit

loose for my liking, disappearing slightly. For this bunch. There are

places where a tinned fruit salad is welcome, and this is one of them.

This time, we are going for Jean's store cupboard trifle. I like the

texture at the bottom which brings something. Enough fruit? It could

have done with a bit more. Menna's sherry trifle. The booze kicks in.

I love the cherries and the sweetness that comes from the white

chocolate. Nothing is over done. You have made three amazing trifles.

We both seriously enjoyed chomping through all three of them. Thank

you for an enormous effort. The thing is, there has to be a winner.

And there will areas... -- the Round of applause. The Menna, the

One Show trifle champion. Good evening and welcome to the

programme. There is another challenge, because you are going

head-to-head with top chef Henry. Henry, there is a lot of snobbery

regarding having trifle on the menu in restaurants. There should not be.

It is a great pudding but should be done properly. Henry is from Racine

restaurant in Knightsbridge. Do you have just one trifle on the menu?

Soft fruit in the summer and in the winter we bring in prunes. What is

your secret? You got the recipe from your mum. Yes, it is my mum's

old recipe. I am keeping the secret to myself. Thanks very much! You

took the base from your mum and you have brought it into the 21st

century. You have already won your trophy, because you are the

favourites. There is your trifle Champions Trophy. I should have got

Gary to present it. You can hold it. Later we were asked the audience to

compare your trifles. We are rooting for you. Can I root for him

because he is on his own. All right. Audience, who preferred try for a.

-- trifle. What about the second? I just love trifle, and there is

beautiful things in both of these, but I am going for the second.

I am quite jealous. Nobody knows which is which. It is really tough,

but there is a definite winner for me. The second. Whose was that? And

what else have we got for them to win? The winner is, Menna's. If you

get to keep the prize. Henry, I am sure yours was very good. We have

not been allowed to taste. The good news is that both recipes are on

the website. After hours riding, Matt has had a chance for a rub-

down and one or two people have turned up to welcome him.

I am eating chips. This is what it is all about, eating what I like.

To be honest, I have just been stretching and I am a bit light-

headed. Please pardon my head gear, but it is proper cycling staff.

This is a massive rugby town, and you are from the High School. What

position do you play? Anything in the scrum, pretty much. I like the

way you are wearing your cycling helmets. Thank you for your support.

They are celebrating one had -- 100 years of opera here. This lady

looks like she knows the secret to the good trifle. Lots of sherry.

have more of the rugby boys here. And this is the saxophone or

armband. Listen, do you recognise Very appropriate for a brass band.

It is a bit like Children In Need, because I keep collecting cheques

from a cycling club here. You live in a very hilly part of Britain.

Why do you live here? Because it is lovely. Very hard roads. I have

more to come tomorrow because I am heading over to the Scottish and

English border, and then I am going down to Bellingham, about 42 miles,

and then hopefully arriving at Hexham in time for the show. That

is 59 miles. It is a hard route tomorrow for you. The first 15

miles is mountainous. Brilliant! I am really looking forward to that!

I might just get my head down. I don't know whether I will see the

rest of the show. Goodbye. We will see him on Monday. Thank you for
