Hello and welcome to the Friday One Show with a spongy Chris Evans.

:00:23.:00:27.

a delight fully edible Alex Jones. Who has turned us into a cake? It

:00:27.:00:36.

is our special guest, Jane Asher. Good evening. I think you look a

:00:36.:00:43.

little lecture us. I am very happy with the cake version of me. It is

:00:43.:00:47.

a thinner version of you. You look like Lynda Bellingham. That is not

:00:47.:00:54.

a bad thing. We are going to talk cakes and six decades of acting

:00:54.:00:57.

with Jane Asher, and Dom Littlewood takes the new pants to the street

:00:57.:01:02.

to see if they can suck a man in as well as they claim. And Phil

:01:02.:01:05.

Tufnell is back with some amazing little art you can get for free, if

:01:05.:01:10.

you were only more observant. summer is a great time to be in the

:01:11.:01:15.

garden, if you have one, but many people have to make do with a

:01:15.:01:24.

window box. Help is at hand from Christine Walkden.

:01:24.:01:29.

Something very odd is going on. I am getting my hands dirty, but not

:01:29.:01:37.

in compost. I am trying a spot of matchmaking. Not that sort of love!

:01:37.:01:47.
:01:47.:01:48.

Garden in love. John grew up with a big garden but living in a London

:01:48.:01:53.

flat he has to make do with a few window-boxes. He is keen to garden

:01:53.:01:58.

and he applied for an allotment, but the news was not good. How long

:01:58.:02:02.

was the waiting list? Up to seven years. My partner was getting it

:02:03.:02:09.

for my birthday. That is when the matchmaking started. 88-year-old

:02:09.:02:13.

Ken has been caring for his garden since 1970 but a recent fall left

:02:13.:02:16.

him struggling to look after a patch that he has taken so much

:02:16.:02:22.

pride in over the last 40 years. How long is it since you were able

:02:22.:02:28.

to guard and effectively yourself? Two or three years. I fell, and

:02:28.:02:33.

that started it. It became difficult to bend. How did you meet

:02:33.:02:38.

John? My daughter said, why don't you go to the council and ask if

:02:38.:02:45.

you could be put on the list for a partner. A garden partner. That was

:02:45.:02:49.

when Ken, needing help with his garden, found John, desperately

:02:49.:02:55.

seeking one. Back in April, I went to give them a few tips at the

:02:56.:02:59.

start of the season. If we have them that far apart and then you

:02:59.:03:05.

cross them at the top... Come on, I need your help. We also have a

:03:05.:03:10.

problem with slugs. I suppose everybody does. You can use things

:03:10.:03:15.

like salt, but what I prefer is to come out later might, collect them

:03:15.:03:22.

and stand on them. 12.5 stone on your head, that works. This unique

:03:23.:03:27.

scheme is down to Sarah Jackson from Age Concern Wandsworth in

:03:27.:03:31.

south west London, along with the support of the local NHS and

:03:31.:03:35.

council. I think Garden sharing is taking off, but it works

:03:35.:03:40.

particularly well with older people, helping to alleviate loneliness,

:03:40.:03:44.

helping to prevent falls and accidents in the garden. Mostly, it

:03:44.:03:48.

is just about the relationships that people build. People like

:03:48.:03:52.

these, they have such a laugh together and that is as much what

:03:52.:03:59.

the scheme is about. We will take this one down. Get cracking!

:03:59.:04:06.

Sometimes, it will be the two of us in the garden for a couple of hours.

:04:06.:04:12.

It is nice and a serene. Very good. We have a laugh and a joke. That is

:04:12.:04:19.

what matters. Yes, it is nice to talk to him. Great fun. We have a

:04:19.:04:25.

couple of dozen. Can we put them in the glass house? It is obvious that

:04:25.:04:29.

they are having a great time. We will come back later in the season

:04:29.:04:39.
:04:39.:04:44.

to see how productive they have This is looking fantastic. Look at

:04:44.:04:50.

it! Broccoli, beetroot, all sorts of lovely stuff. And I must say, I

:04:50.:04:57.

am impressed with this. Look at them. Yes, we have managed to get a

:04:57.:05:01.

few. The key thing is to keep picking, pick regularly, every day

:05:01.:05:10.

if necessary. I am beginning to look like a beam. Give them away to

:05:10.:05:15.

the neighbours, whatever. But keep them well watered. If they get a

:05:15.:05:19.

cheque, if they get dry, they will stop producing, so water, water,

:05:19.:05:26.

water. We have grown a lot of vegetables. We have enjoyed doing

:05:26.:05:34.

it. We have plans for next year already. Fantastic! I am very

:05:34.:05:38.

impressed with these crops, but I am more impressed with the

:05:38.:05:42.

relationship that has developed between 10 and John. Won't it be

:05:42.:05:46.

fantastic if a scheme like this in Wandsworth can be taken right

:05:46.:05:54.

across the country. He does everything. He does it, and I sit

:05:54.:06:00.

and watch. Knockout those two cabbages and have cabbages for

:06:00.:06:06.

dinner tonight. What a lovely story, and they are here this evening.

:06:06.:06:11.

They have brought their families. And he has so many extra green

:06:11.:06:15.

beans that he has given us some. With your permission, we will give

:06:15.:06:24.

them to Jane, in return for the cake. Can we give them to her?

:06:24.:06:31.

Are these really the ones that you grew? Yes, we picked them today.

:06:31.:06:40.

Lovely. Can I give you a kiss? Thank you very much. What would

:06:40.:06:45.

have happened if it was a bunch of cucumbers! Before we move away from

:06:45.:06:51.

horticulture, how about a 23 ft sunflower. That is over four times

:06:51.:06:57.

her height. There she goes. started growing it in a friendly

:06:57.:07:01.

competition with her four-year-old granddaughter. We reckon there are

:07:01.:07:05.

other sunflower competition is going on and please proved us right

:07:05.:07:15.
:07:15.:07:15.

buyer snapping yours in picture Jane, you have brought this amazing

:07:15.:07:22.

cake. We have been having a bit of a debate. What can you eat? You can

:07:22.:07:26.

eat this and the sofa. It is fruitcake, because you have had so

:07:26.:07:31.

many sponge cakes that I thought you might like fruit cake. Our

:07:31.:07:35.

relationship has been entirely based on cakes. Yes, nice to meet

:07:35.:07:40.

you finally. These characters have an uncanny resemblance. We can

:07:40.:07:47.

recreate it. That is enough. I think you look a bit like Pam Ayers,

:07:47.:07:55.

not Lynda Bellingham. Pam Ayres? you know who she is? You are so

:07:55.:08:01.

young! When did you start loving cakes, which is now aged huge

:08:01.:08:05.

industry for you? I don't know about a huge industry, but just one

:08:06.:08:10.

shop. It started as a hobby when I was a little girl. I know you are

:08:10.:08:14.

having an item about miniature things later. I always enjoyed

:08:14.:08:20.

making tiny things, whether it was drawing flowers... Somehow it got

:08:20.:08:24.

translated into cake decorating and I think my showbiz side came out,

:08:24.:08:29.

definitely. I started to make the cake is a funny and personal. In

:08:29.:08:34.

those days, cakes were straight forward. One friend suggested I

:08:34.:08:37.

should write a book about it. Everybody laughed because actresses

:08:37.:08:42.

did not write books in those days. I wrote to eight publishers and

:08:42.:08:46.

finally one took me on. I took pictures of the cakes, and it

:08:47.:08:50.

became a bestseller. I was astonished. That was when it

:08:50.:08:55.

stopped being a hobby and became much more. You said you started

:08:55.:08:59.

baking at an early age but you also started acting. Let's have a look

:08:59.:09:09.
:09:09.:09:10.

at this clip. Hurry! You have lost me a pheasant. Nevermind that, I

:09:10.:09:15.

think Oswald is dying. He has fallen in the pit. Please, he will

:09:15.:09:24.

put on your boots whenever you want him to. Come quickly! "You lost me

:09:24.:09:29.

a pheasant". You are doing two plays for the price of one. What is

:09:29.:09:37.

going on? I am rehearsing to very different ways. -- two. None of

:09:37.:09:41.

them is The Importance Of Being Earnest, which is very funny, and I

:09:41.:09:45.

am Lady Bracknell. The other play is about the theatre. It is written

:09:46.:09:49.

by somebody who in many ways is the father of modern theatre. He

:09:49.:09:54.

changed everything. He wanted naturalism, realism, not posing and

:09:54.:10:00.

overdoing everything. It is about an actress who is trying to do that.

:10:00.:10:03.

But the difficulty of combining doing something for truth and

:10:03.:10:07.

reality that she believes in, her art, combining that with

:10:07.:10:11.

commerciality is very difficult. It is still something that we struggle

:10:11.:10:15.

with today. And she has to schmooze millionairess to get money, and she

:10:15.:10:18.

finds that awkward and difficult. It is an interesting area to

:10:19.:10:24.

explore. They are both at the Rose Theatre. When is the matinee

:10:24.:10:30.

performance? Is it all the same cast, or do you -- is it just you

:10:30.:10:40.

crossing over? Farewell To The Theatre is just two people. We are

:10:40.:10:44.

both in The Importance Of Being Earnest. But all of the others will

:10:44.:10:48.

have some time off. So you have one player in the afternoon and a

:10:48.:10:53.

different one at night every day? Not every day. And they vary.

:10:53.:10:57.

Sometimes one is in the evening, sometimes the other. Which one

:10:57.:11:03.

should we pay to see? Darling, you have to see both. And they do deals

:11:03.:11:09.

if you see both. On the first night, what we have the first night of a

:11:09.:11:12.

Farewell To The Theatre in the afternoon and the first night of

:11:12.:11:15.

The Importance Of Being Earnest in the evening. If one of them is

:11:15.:11:20.

rubbish, have a chance with the other. That is a very good way of

:11:20.:11:25.

looking at it! I have a second chance in the evening.

:11:25.:11:28.

Importance Of Being Earnest and Farewell To The Theatre start in

:11:28.:11:33.

September at the Rose Theatre in Kingston. It is a lovely theatre,

:11:33.:11:37.

too, an exciting open theatre. We have young people sitting on the

:11:37.:11:42.

floor at the front. It has a wonderful feeling. Make sure you

:11:42.:11:47.

are wearing the right thing when you go. We all remember the scene

:11:47.:11:51.

in Bridget Jones when she gets lucky and then they go back to his

:11:51.:11:56.

flat and he pulls up her dress and she is wearing the big knickers. We

:11:56.:12:03.

all know, very embarrassing, and we feel for her. These new magic

:12:04.:12:11.

pounds - I have just taken them off - they squeeze in your belly. --

:12:11.:12:19.

magic pants. But do they work? Well, only one way to find out.

:12:20.:12:26.

Excuse me. What do you think of these? Oh, God, not to appealing.

:12:26.:12:36.
:12:36.:12:40.

Silly. Not a good fashion accessory. Is it some but firming thing?

:12:41.:12:48.

at your bottom, citing a bit. they to hold in your belly? No! I

:12:48.:12:54.

would feel cheated. It is like granny pants on women, it is an

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:04.

instant turn-off. Can I talk you into trying them on? No. You are a

:13:04.:13:14.
:13:14.:13:16.

good man. Come over here. Look at that! How are we doing? Good Lord!

:13:16.:13:23.

Are you ready? Everybody! Look! Don't you think the girls are going

:13:23.:13:31.

to like that? Look at that. What do you think? No. Definitely not?

:13:31.:13:36.

There is nothing wrong with his bum. It has pulled in his love handles.

:13:36.:13:42.

Look at that, a bit firmer. They are yours, a gift from us. I will

:13:42.:13:48.

wear them all day. You can have them. I will hang them in my

:13:48.:13:56.

bedroom. Goodbye. Wouldn't it be brilliant if Dom Littlewood was

:13:56.:14:06.
:14:06.:14:08.

here, wearing just those pants. Oh, he is! Poor Jane. How are you

:14:08.:14:12.

feeling? A little uncomfortable. There is something I feel I should

:14:12.:14:20.

not be looking at. You Are Not the Only One, trust me. Is it working

:14:20.:14:25.

for you? I have had more comfortable nights on the sofa.

:14:26.:14:32.

would rather see him without them. You do not need them, you have a

:14:32.:14:37.

great physique. That is right, it is cheating because you do not need

:14:37.:14:44.

it. I like it with the black socks! You have tried other items like

:14:44.:14:52.

this. These are not the only ones. I cannot take this seriously.

:14:53.:14:57.

are going to show you some. These are meant to improve your waistline.

:14:57.:15:02.

They are shaped enhancing. Marks & Spencer makes some which are

:15:02.:15:09.

designed to visibly flatten your stomach and your profile. And then

:15:09.:15:14.

we have these by Spanx, called an undershirt which is too firm the

:15:14.:15:23.

chest and narrow the waistline. That has worked. I preferred the

:15:23.:15:31.

black ones. What do you think of them? I do not like the idea at all.

:15:31.:15:37.

But girls have been wearing corsets for ages. We want our men to look

:15:37.:15:40.

lovely but we do not want to think they take trouble to do so. They

:15:40.:15:44.

should not be worrying about their looks. Of course they do, and we

:15:44.:15:49.

know that, but you want them to just walk out of the House of...

:15:49.:15:55.

Men should be men, shouldn't they? A round of applause for Dom

:15:56.:16:05.
:16:06.:16:06.

Now, a man who would not be seen dead in a pair of magic paths, Jay

:16:06.:16:11.

Rayner. You are right, but it guys are worried about their waistlines,

:16:11.:16:18.

Foody Friday will not do for them a top, because I am trying British

:16:18.:16:24.

beers. Beer brewed with water, Bali, hops and used it was once the

:16:24.:16:29.

undisputed tipple of the British masses. In the Middle Ages it was

:16:29.:16:34.

preferable to water which could be contaminated by disease. The job of

:16:34.:16:41.

brewing often fell to women. Idyllic notions of farm labourers

:16:41.:16:45.

slaking their thirst on locally brewed beers has long been part of

:16:45.:16:49.

the British brewing tradition, but mass production has started to take

:16:49.:16:53.

British taste away from those local ales. British Beer has started to

:16:54.:17:00.

taste like the past. In the early 1970s, there were probably only 40

:17:00.:17:05.

breweries left in Britain. It had a male image in recent history. It

:17:05.:17:10.

has had a bad association with the lager louts or a real ale drinker

:17:10.:17:16.

with a belly and sandals. When did we see a resurgence? That has come

:17:16.:17:20.

from people getting very bored with the industrial products. We had

:17:20.:17:23.

then seen a change in taxation with a reduction in duty for smaller

:17:23.:17:29.

breweries. There are 800 breweries now it is reckoned in the UK.

:17:29.:17:33.

with the return to local, small- scale Breweries, the historic

:17:33.:17:39.

brewers of the ales, women, are also returning to the crack. Some

:17:39.:17:44.

of the breweries are headed by women brewers. This brewery has

:17:44.:17:51.

been run by a female in Leyton, east London, since 2008. It is a

:17:51.:17:57.

small brewery. We can be much more flexible and produce the beers that

:17:57.:18:02.

we won. The big, commercial breweries have to produce the same

:18:02.:18:07.

staff with the press of a button. How many have you brewed here?

:18:07.:18:15.

approximately 50. 50 different beers? Yes, fruit beers, Chile beer,

:18:15.:18:21.

stout, Porter. It seems these small breweries can experiment with

:18:21.:18:26.

almost any flavour, from vanilla to passion-fruit, to nuts and berries.

:18:26.:18:36.

What is in this? It is a raspberry beer. You can taste the raspberries.

:18:36.:18:43.

Yes. It seems to me that the micro- brewery culture has much more in

:18:43.:18:48.

common with fine wine than hard boozing. Many at the bar see

:18:48.:18:53.

themselves as beer connoisseurs and there are now up beer some early

:18:53.:19:00.

years which specialise in which peers go with which food. There is

:19:00.:19:04.

something for everyone. There are a wide range of different flavours.

:19:04.:19:09.

My wife never drank beer until I opened this brewery. She thought it

:19:09.:19:17.

was an old man's ring. Is it female-friendly? Massively. But can

:19:17.:19:22.

be a really appealed to the ladies who lunch ensued well? What you

:19:22.:19:32.
:19:32.:19:32.

think of that? Yes, that is nice. No. That has definitely got more

:19:32.:19:42.

bite to it. Is this your first experience of beer? Yes. It's nice.

:19:42.:19:48.

Did you like that? It is fruity. the end of a hard day's work it is

:19:48.:19:56.

time to slake my own turf -- thirst. This bitter is cheery, with caramel,

:19:56.:20:01.

deep flavours. With his plate of pub food it is the perfect

:20:01.:20:06.

companion. It is easy to see how this stuff used to be called liquid

:20:06.:20:15.

bread. I think the pub sign rivals the cake. Do not draw attention to

:20:15.:20:24.

it. Welcome to the pub. I have some special beer to go with food. We

:20:24.:20:28.

have got a Belgian, wheat beer which is meant to go well with fish.

:20:28.:20:37.

If you want to try that. I thought we'd beers were rather light.

:20:37.:20:41.

of them can be. All of the beer that we have here is widely

:20:41.:20:47.

available. This was designed to go with fish at Rick Stein's

:20:47.:20:54.

restaurant in Padstow. Beer enthusiasts are obsessed with

:20:54.:20:58.

telling us you can use beer in the same way you can use wind. The who

:20:58.:21:07.

is next? You are. You have got a curry and an Indian Pale Ale.

:21:07.:21:11.

Originally they were exported. love the smell of curry, but

:21:11.:21:18.

combined with the smell of Alex's fake tan, it puts me off. He's said

:21:18.:21:25.

he was not going to mention it. you like the new, brown colour?

:21:25.:21:33.

That is nice. It works. I have got something that is browner than you.

:21:33.:21:38.

You have got a Double chocolate stout. There is chocolate in the

:21:38.:21:45.

beer and chocolate in this doubt. The nation awaits your verdict.

:21:45.:21:51.

That is really nice. It is so strong and bitter, it is

:21:51.:21:56.

overwhelming for the fish. There is only one thing for a curry, a cold

:21:56.:22:01.

lager. I make no pretence. I am clearly a wine drinker, look at

:22:01.:22:07.

this shirt. I prefer wine with food. But I have been watching the social

:22:07.:22:14.

media all day and the beer obsessive people are obsessed. They

:22:14.:22:19.

knew we were doing this tonight. You know those really pale, white

:22:19.:22:28.

and looking, beers? I am not a beer expert. Cheers, everybody. The

:22:28.:22:35.

other food news. Any preservative, bisin, has been discovered and

:22:35.:22:39.

scientists say it can preserve the shelf-life of certain food for

:22:39.:22:44.

months, even years. Preservatives have been around for a very long

:22:44.:22:48.

time. Obviously, a good preservative will cut down on food

:22:48.:22:53.

waste. But it is also good for manufacturers to cut their losses.

:22:53.:22:58.

The longer you can preserve food, the cheaper it is. They have always

:22:58.:23:04.

said preservatives are bad for you. No, they have not. We pickle things.

:23:04.:23:10.

Most of them are not bad for you. The we have run out of time.

:23:10.:23:15.

have to mention the garlic Festival. I have got a garlic beer. I bet

:23:15.:23:19.

Phil Tufnell would have loved to have been here tonight, but he is

:23:19.:23:25.

at the Test match. But we have a film all about his other passion,

:23:25.:23:33.

art, in this case many art. Cheers, Phil. Major art might now be

:23:33.:23:37.

considered a small part of the art world, but its origins go back for

:23:37.:23:47.
:23:47.:23:47.

millennia. In fact, these are over 35,000 years old and they are only

:23:47.:23:53.

six centimetres told. From 3000 year-old Chinese sculptures to

:23:53.:23:57.

miniature portraits of the court of Queen Elizabeth, the world of tiny

:23:57.:24:02.

objects has continued to hold a fascination across the globe. Even

:24:02.:24:06.

miniature Bibles and 19th century ships in bottles were highly prized

:24:06.:24:10.

possessions. The discipline continues to reinvent itself and it

:24:10.:24:15.

is still going strong today. Two British artists are taking

:24:15.:24:21.

miniature art to new heights. Tessa Farmer uses nature as the

:24:21.:24:28.

inspiration for her sinister world. These are fairies. I used dead

:24:28.:24:34.

insects, bones, their animals, plant roots. That is pretty strange

:24:34.:24:42.

stuff to make art from? I suppose so. I started at college and became

:24:42.:24:47.

quite obsessed with skeletons. The skeleton ferries were born a few

:24:47.:24:57.
:24:57.:24:57.

years later. What is that? Feathers are good. These can be good for

:24:57.:25:05.

making the skeletons. What have we got there? AB. A good find. We have

:25:05.:25:09.

found some materials, so it is time for me to try my hand at creating

:25:09.:25:18.

some art. What have we got going on here?. There are beetles and

:25:19.:25:23.

hornets to make it fly. There is only one fairy on the ship at the

:25:23.:25:30.

moment, this one at the front. This is one that is half done. It has

:25:30.:25:40.
:25:40.:25:45.

got one leg already. You need to put on... Another bit of his leg.

:25:45.:25:51.

It looks like Jake the ferry with the extra leg. It is going to be a

:25:51.:25:54.

three-legged fairy. The are really fed Lee, how long does it take you

:25:54.:26:01.

to make one? A few hours. How many would be in a sculpture? About 20

:26:01.:26:10.

or 30. So there are a lot of ours. I am a bit of a workaholic. Whilst

:26:10.:26:16.

this art is rooted in fantasy, for another artist, Slinkachu, it is

:26:16.:26:20.

the gritty reality of city life that inspires him to create his own

:26:20.:26:30.
:26:30.:26:41.

brand of street art, just like this I use miniature figures I place

:26:41.:26:46.

around the streets and take photos of. I deal with real problems like

:26:46.:26:53.

crime and litter and poverty. Today we are going to make this with a

:26:53.:27:00.

dropped ice-cream. I have got the miniature figures in here. He is

:27:00.:27:05.

going to be there sometimes sweeping that lot up. I put this in

:27:05.:27:11.

the street and take photos of the figures and to leave them and it is

:27:11.:27:15.

either a spotted or it gets abandoned and lost or destroyed.

:27:15.:27:20.

All you are left with is the photo. Yes, I quite like that, to be

:27:20.:27:26.

honest. I like the idea that someone might find it. Miniature

:27:26.:27:31.

art can take you to a fantasy world or pose questions about your own.

:27:31.:27:34.

The next time you are strolling through the countryside, stock and

:27:34.:27:41.

have a look around. You never know what you might find. The ones in

:27:41.:27:47.

the street are amazing. Stop it. We have been playing with our new toy,

:27:47.:27:55.

the celebrity slo-mo camera. Earlier we got Jane to do this.

:27:55.:28:02.

That is marvellous, that is magical. That is cool. It is very pretty.

:28:02.:28:11.

You are very pretty. You are like a sunflower. Look, here is a

:28:11.:28:17.

sunflower from viewers. This is from 1982. This is sent in from

:28:17.:28:24.

Kate Morgan in Brecon. A competition at work. This is Judit

:28:24.:28:30.

Burgess at home in Leamington Spa. Lucy, aged six from York. Thank you

:28:30.:28:36.

so much for all your sunflowers. Jane's plays starred in Kingston at

:28:36.:28:42.
