# We don't talk anymore like we used to do

# We don't talk anymore like we used to do

APPLAUSE Wow, that was beautiful. All summer.

What a great start. That was the guest tonight, Charlie Puth.

And "We Don't Talk Any More", which is something this

He's on an emotional journey tonight to find out why he and toys like him

have been shunned by the youngsters of today, particularly at Christmas.

Luckily, we've got a guest who's always in demand at this time

of year and getting him talking is never a problem.

APPLAUSE It is lovely to be here, as ever,

feeding the festive love. I had to wear a cardigan, it is all about the

Christmas cardigans. You have got this book. How to cook the perfect

Christmas dinner, we will talk about that. But the first thing to do is

to talk about the phone call, and who you are inviting, you are

breaking tradition? Normally it is at mine, but I've had an extra kid

this year. That is the immediate family. Five children! As the family

has got bigger, some parts of the family go to other relatives, but it

was all back this year and it was looking like 35 people. I was a bit

tired. Just U2 and the children and no mum and dad? -- you two. Yes,

Boxing Day is an easy meal to do. Less stress. My mother was fine. I

still want a trifle, which we will see later. Trifle is a big thing in

my world, I would rather have a trifle than a birthday cake. It is a

sensation. Massive. Two brothers who farm

on the Isle of Arran are facing eviction in the New Year -

victims of a dispute between the Scottish Government

and the landowner. Legislation that was supposed

to give them security has had Sarah Mack was there

when almost everything Dawn on the beautiful Isle of Arran,

farming brothers and their mother would normally be feeding their

livestock, but today is different. Today is auction day when Ian and

John hold a farm sale when they will sell off most of their possessions,

before they move out. Every item has to be catalogued before the bidding

starts. For as little as ?1. This 5000 acre farms situated on the

largest island in the Firth of Clyde might seem idyllic. It has been hit

by a political storm which started in the Scottish parliament and has

been through the Supreme Court. The fall out from this complex legal

case has had a massive impact on farmers like Ian and John. They are

being forced out of the place they have called home for more than two

decades. John's family started farming here on a fixed term tenancy

in 1996 and in 2003 to give tenant farmers long-term security the

Scottish Government introduced new legislation giving tenant farmers a

guaranteed right to farm the land for life. I thought we were going to

be here for my lifetime, certainly mine and my brothers. We started

investing and making plans for the future, long-term. Unhappy

landowners challenged the new law on the way to the Supreme Court and

they got it overturned. The John and Ian it meant their landlord could

ask them to leave the farm and they are not alone -- for John. Chris

Tavare is chair of the Scottish tenant farmers Association -- Chris

is Jeff or the most of the families it will

come to an end. The outcome is not in the pub interest, you have got

talented farmers forced to leave their farm. -- public interest. The

Pattersons have tried mediation with the landowner but to no avail. What

kind of impact does this have on the community? It is A/C was impact. I

employ a lot of people on the island -- it is a serious impact. It is not

just farming and supporting industries that are set to lose out.

The future of Ian's pedigree Falk and business is also in doubt. --

Pedigree Falcon. It will be hard braking if I can't continue this. --

heartbreaking. Hooda you blame for this? The Scottish Government. I

don't blame the landowner for this. -- who do you blame. What are you

planning to do? Can you get? No, I'm not trained to do anything else.

This is all I ever done. What kind of toll has this taken on your

family? Horrendous. My father especially, he had another stroke

six months ago. 50, 20, 30. What is going through your mind, witnessing

your possessions being sold? Absolutely heartbreaking. When the

auction is over I sit down with mother Christine. My boys heart and

soul is in the land and I never thought the government would do this

in this day and age and allow this to happen. What would you think is a

solution? They could have come together and spoken to the farmers

concerned with this and said, how best can we help you forward with

your landlord. It has been a hard day. Hard hard day. The Scottish

Government's Cabinet Secretary for rural comic excepts it was a bad law

passed by a former Administration -- rural law act sets it was a bad law.

Don't forget the landlord made the decision to terminate the lease, not

this Scottish Government. The landlord is the person who is the

one who is responsible for the decision he decided to take. We

approach the landlord but he declined to comment. We have been

here 22 years. I will have to tell my young son that everything has

been sold and he will have to leave and this will be his last weekend

coming up. I suppose it is a small consolation that they get to spend

Christmas on the farm before they have to move out. They seem like a

very close family, so I'm sure they will make a big impact in the future

and we wish them all the best for 2017. We will now talk about your

ultimate guide to cooking Christmas dinner. Big job. We were very

pleased with this arrived on your desks. -- when this arrived on our

desks. I asked mum, but she was not into it. We have brought a trifle

instead, just as good. This has Lamont? It has old school. It has a

certain taste of that era. Tinned fruit is quite underused. You have

the fruit and the blood Do you want me to work here? We can

talk about the contents of this book, it has taken you a long time.

20 years in the making, have a look. No polite way to do this first one.

The first portion is always the big one. Have we got spoons? They have

all got spoons, that is hilarious. I love the efficiency of the BBC.

Seriously it is the time of year when most people cook, even the

people who don't cut, and it is the time when people have a lot to lose.

The point of the book was nearly 20 years in since the beginning of the

naked Chef and I had written all of these recipes but never in a book. I

had 50 bits and new ones and I joined them together, looking at

everything from vegetarian, and I had lots on potatoes, the ultimate

gravy, deserts. Leftovers. Every meat, not just Turkey. And all of

those cooking times and waits and how to carve. Those things which are

potentially boring, but so important at Christmas. We can now have a

little look. You mentioned potatoes. These potatoes have had one hour. If

I turn this over. You can see the scuffed up bits, they have stuck to

it, the extra crispy bits. We will squash it. Squash, squash. APPLAUSE

It is on Channel 4 on Monday. You were talking about squashing grows

potatoes. I have never heard of it. -- roast potatoes. It has taken me

20 years. What about these potatoes, they have been parboiled? Yes, very

important to do that. I then tossed them into olive oil, butter. When

they look like the Golden, you squash them and put herbs in and you

get the most crispy skinned, fluffy inside, ridiculous potato. I like

the attention to detail. You have held that recipe to detail. You are

so well read! Everyone wanted to ask questions about this, this is a hot

topic. Bryony? What is your favourite twist on the classic pigs

in blankets recipe? Basically I did a whole page on that. Wrapped in

bacon, sausage, but we had a whole page dedicated to things you can do

with it. You can completely mix it up, whether you are using different

fruits, black pudding, all sorts, there are 20 different things you

can do with it. Pigs in blankets are good, when you are roasting?

Definitely. I get recipes online, is there any need for another book? Oh!

Who invited Jane? We have 14 million people come to the website every

Christmas which is 50% up on the normal month so this is a time when

it matters. The convenience of online is really good, what is

interesting about publishing, people like holding a beautiful thing. They

like to buy a gift and I think... If you have a friend who is doing

Christmas this year, just buy them the book. I think there is something

about paper and turning a page. Definitely, tangible. We have a

caller on the line. Hello. What is the question. I went through your

book and it is one incredible book. You have some lovely cake. You don't

really like Christmas cake. Is that Gennaro? It is me! It is your

mentor. Are you all right? I'm OK, everything is all right. Would you

do in Italy on Christmas Day? -- what would you do. We have it the

day before, Christmas Eve. Yes. We sit at a table and we eat everything

at the table. One of the dishes we did was leftovers, the Turkey

risotto, when you have the empty carcass and the risotto is a

beautiful rich ritual and Gennaro went mad for it. We made a white

turkey risotto, with crispy bits of skin. How good was that? It was

unbelievable, everybody should do that. Big dinners. Christmas Day.

Just get the leftovers. And the Pana Tony, as well.

We have got to stop talking to you for now. Thank you very much indeed.

What about the trifle? Thumbs up? Very good. It is delicious.

Jamie's Christmas cookbook is out now and if you are worried about the

Frank really ridiculous and people spend the website has a link to have

to spanned ?1 per head. -- how to spend ?1 per head.

A question for my fellow men watching.

Have you ever felt pushed aside in the modern world?

Year 2016, location, charity shop. This is similarly eating, how long

have you been here? It feels like years. What is the matter with these

youngsters, why don't they want as any more? Just the way it is,

soldier, get used to it. We were Toy Of The Year in 1976. Times change.

As to my gripping hands. I will make it back to HQ. Don't do it, soldier!

He might not like what he finds. It is a risk I have to take. I needed

answers, why Britain abandoned its bill of it Action Man. By 1979

Palitoy had made 8 million of us, back then, everyone wanted us. He is

called Action Man, this is the latest toy in the shops. Those were

the days, I even got a Blue Peter badge. I've finally arrived at the

factory, hoping to find answers but something was wrong. No tanks, no

submarines. No helicopters! Palitoy was gone! Some people would come and

is talking. So this is the actual place where you worked? This was the

original building for Palitoy, I'd joined the company when you before

Action Man. That is me with a couple of Action Men. I'd seen him before,

long time ago, his name was Bob and he helped to make me. The original

model of his gripping hand, modelled on this hand. I sculpted with this

hand and I kept looking at that hand and Action Man was the target of the

year and then he won the award for top of the decade. What made him so

popular? We never made a story about him, we said this is him and those

are his outfits you can buy coming he became the story. What happened

to him, he seemed to disappear from the shelves. Came out. It was called

Star Wars. These little guys helped to see Action Man off because there

not a lot of plastic and not, there is a lot of plastic in one Action

Man, you can get a lot of these figures for the price of one Action

Man. Science fiction was the way things were going. For design

department was made redundant and in 1984 Action Man was discontinued.

What! No! I could not believe it. Action Man was finished? His

tremendous because he was about everything. I think it's the most

exciting time for Christmas, there are a lot of things you can do with

that. I had never felt so unwanted but then I saw something unexpected.

Action Men, hundreds of them! I had never seen the like of it! Every

accessory ever made! And men over 50! A bloke called Rob was being

interviewed because he runs a website, whatever that is. It's a

toy fair where people come from miles to find vintage pieces. These

two fellows are really rare, this is 625 and the judo man would be the

same price. It did not occurred to me until I was middle age how much

affection I still had for this figure, he was a hero to us and we

look up to him, you cannot cut a bond like that, once you have had

and it is deep-seated in your psyche. I had found what I was

looking for. What does the future hold for him? Won this is the 50th

anniversary edition, the range is well and truly back. Yes! He is not

mine but he has been in the wars, hasn't he! As I looked around I

realised that the boys of Britain has not abandoned us after all. They

had merely got older. Lads! Guess what? We are back in business! That

was great. If you were wondering, that was the voice of our own action

man, Andy Tolbert. We are in heaven. My boys that I would love this. My

son would go nuts for this and they don't really make it any more. I

love retro. As a kid, when you see this... I went down the drive on one

of these ones because you could sit in it when you were little!

Unbelievable. We said earlier about being outnumbered at home, your life

must be full of toys and children. Until recently it was all pink, the

man card has gone up a bit now! I was just showing Buddy stuff from

our childhood today. My wife, understandably, said, no guns, no

weapons. That's the thing about when we were kids, cowboys and Indians

but she was all right with a sword. I liked the way that she said, guns,

no, slow painful death, yes! We have a little something that the boys

might like. They didn't do a chef edition of Action Man but we have

made will especially for you and the boys. This is what I love about the

BBC and its props department. I love it, whoever made that, thank you.

Although my hair is wrong! What has happened there? It's like bogbrush!

Merry Christmas, Jamie. Thank you, you are always so generous. Music to

come from Charlie Puth, after Marty gets to play with everyone's

Christmas gadget. Drones have taken the world by storm, the ways in

which they are used getting more inventive. But can we combine this

relatively new technology with one of the oldest Christmas traditions,

the Christmas tree? Time for the One Showed to create a Christmas tree

made entirely of drones. Swarming is the name given to multiple bodies

acting as a group. These people have been pushing the boundaries of what

drones can do, John McCann and his team at Be Tomorrow programmed the

drones for playing bebop, a dance duo whose act wowed audiences on

Britain's Got Talent this year. Jonker is this not a fiendishly

difficult task? How will we do it? It is difficult but luckily we have

our crack team of drone engineers and we are in London, we need to

take everything with trans-step-by-step. They will do the

tweaking and we will stand back and see how it works. - everything with

drones. Making the Christmas tree will be more damaging than I

thought, Eric and Jean-Dominique are responsible for programme aired.

Show me how you work. The best way to see it is from a mathematical

angle, how we can modernise the tree. I think the best way is to

create some layers of drones but with that in circles and we pin them

around you. At the beginning will have some collisions because you

don't really know what will happen. Eric and Jean-Dominique usually take

weeks to design shows, we have just one day. How can we be sure that the

drones will not collide with anything? The carpet is the key.

They look down on the carpet, they can see uniquely coloured squares

and by looking at the square they can identify where they are. How

about height, how does it know the height? The higher the drone, the

smaller the image of the square, the lower it is, the larger the image.

The interesting thing is that you programmed them to do something but

because they are blasting air downwards they can interact with

each other in a way you would not know if you were just on the

computer. It is important that they fly in a swarm together. Set what

happens in reality. The precision by which the drones are controlled

means I should be able to stand inside the spinning Christmas tree.

That is the theory. Right. Take it away! If we pull this off we will

end up with something that vaguely looks tree shaped at least, with a

star on top. MUSIC In Dulce Jubilo

by Mike Oldfield There you have it, our very own

Christmas tree. Merry Christmas, everyone! I'm not buying one for

anybody watching. Incredible, you could not put this show together.

Thanks to Jamie for joining us - Jamie's Christmas

We'll be back tomorrow with Johnny Vegas,

Charlie, you can have some trifle after you have finished singing!

We leave you now with the new kid on the block, singer songwriter

Charlie Puth singing a musical medley.

His debut album, Nine Track Mind, is out now.

# Call me, baby, if you need a friend

# Reaching out to you, so take a chance

# And when you're weak I'll be strong

# Now don't you worry, it won't be long, darling

# And when you feel like hope is gone

# It's been a long day without you my friend

# And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again

# We've come a long way from where we began

# Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
