20/09/2013 The One Show

The find out who the mystery chef is on the last barbecue weekend of the

year. Just put the shirt away. My special

barbecue shirt. You actually need to barbecue the shirt! Now I have let

my hair go back to its natural colour after dyeing it grave for ten

years. Unfortunately, the eyebrows tell a very different story! Welcome

to the one show with Alex Jones. And more ginger than ever, Chris Evans.

Let's revealed the identity of the mystery king of the barbecue! Its

handsome James Martin! Hello, James. How are you, my friend? A pleasure

to be here. We know you like our dining because

you have a big pizza oven in your garden. There has been a lot of talk

about a possible Indian summer this weekend so it could be last chance

saloon? Fingers crossed. The pizza oven takes half of the new Forest to

heat up so I will stick with the barbecue this weekend. It is looking

good. Better for Sunday than Saturday is what we are hearing. We

are talking about your new food show, you are back in the middle of

it. You fly over Britain. It is not just an excuse to show people you

can fly. But I bet you have never done this?

Look at this! With the microphone is still on, Alex!

You two are like a married couple! That was Paul Bond in the plane. He

is also a pilot for British Airways. What is the most impressive thing

is also a pilot for British Airways. you have done in your name? Landing!

You have done your pilot license. It is so nerve wracking when you go up

for the first time for the first solo. That stunt footage has been

taken as the blueprint for an impressive new sculpture. Here is

taken as the blueprint for an Lucy watching it being built and

delivered. This rather ordinary looking

warehouse on the outskirts of Hull is hiding a spectacular secret. A

team of artists has been toiling away in there on a work of art which

will be the longest permanent skull chair in Europe. -- sculpture. It is

not far off the length of a football pitch. The man behind this colossus

is Richard Wilson, one of the UK's most daring sculptors. He is famous

for cutting a huge chunk out of the building in Liverpool for the 2007

arts festival. Oh, my God! That is brilliant! Now he has focused his

attention on stunt planes to create a sculpture for the new Heathrow

terminal two. How does it feel that your work is going into one of the

biggest airports in the world? Obviously, extremely excited. Very

proud of the whole team who have helped put this together and looking

forward to the launch next year. What is Slipstream about? It is

about a journey. Richard developed his work called Slipstream from

footage of stunt planes. It is talking about the conundrum in a

space that we make as passengers moving from a to B. Have you thought

about how many people will see it? Not until I was given a statistic

which is they who are expecting 20 million visitors both arriving and

departing per year. We have a purpose made audience. Albeit they

are not all versed in the grammar of sculpture, but everybody will share

in viewing this work and that is a great audience to have. To build

structure of this size, Richard turned to a whole -based company,

CSI. The sculpture is made of wood and aluminium and will be positioned

20 metres above the ground. Was it a hard structure to build? Slipstream

is a hard structure to build. It is a very complex form. You have to

work from the outside in. Only with computer aided design can you

achieve this. Can you explain to me, just give me some sense of the

scale? It is eight or nine double-decker buses, if you look at

it from that point of view. One of the main challenges is how we are

going to transport it. It is in Hull, how will we get it to the

site? Ultimately, it comes down to the idea of slicing. We are slicing

this beautiful shape going across the four corners. Transporting these

huge pieces of sculpture is no easy feat. This is the 15th chunk of

Slipstream. It has taken five guys just get it on the back of the truck

and now it will take six hours to drive it from hold to Heathrow. --

from hole-macro to Heathrow. The schedule has been planned with

military precision. Finally, the Heathrow gates are pinning. Here it

is, the next bit of the slipstream jigsaw and I get to wave it in.

Standing here, you really get a sense of the enormous scale of this

project when it is finished and all the pieces are slotted together, it

will reach right down there. Slipstream will dominate this entire

space. I cannot wait to see it. 2014, it will be in situ on display

for the whole world to see. 20 million passengers a year will see

it. Fantastic sculpture. Lots of people might have seen you on BBC

Two because Food Map Of Britain, maybe not 20 million. What are you

trying to say? ! She is on fire tonight! It is a brand new series,

ten episodes, we are halfway through. It is you in your plane, is

it your plane? It is not my plane because it has an amazing camera

underneath it. If you have seen this series Planet Earth it is the same

camera. It produces amazing images all over the British Isles. It is

all about the topography of the land and linking back together and why

certain things grow in certain areas. It is linked to the weather.

You can only see that from above. It is affected either soil and the

climate. In certain areas of the UK you only get a specific arrangement

of food. So it is more than just a jolly. I was flying a lot but it was

long days flying and we were trying to do pieces to camera and use this

amazing camera at the same time. It produces these amazing images. 20

million viewers, who knows? Lets see what you might have seen or might be

missing. The first ingredient you would be more likely to associate

missing. The first ingredient you with Italy. Hampshire is Britain's

most heavily wooded region with 20% of the county covered in woodland.

And it is home to a real gem, the truffle. The truffle. So truffles in

And it is home to a real gem, the Great Britain, you cannot get white

truffles, can you? You cannot get white ones. You can get rid of

summer truffles. Where we were filming this was literally miles

away from a house and I never knew they were existed -- I never knew

they existed. But each trees in this particular woodland were perfect for

it. They go hunting with these dogs. The lady tried to train my dog but

it did not really work. That is my dog on the right. He is not paying

any interest. Nice looking. You cook with all the ingredients that you

talk about. The key is linking in what goes on from the air to the

land and the fascinating mixture between the two and why certain

things are only produced in that area. We have only got one tea

plantation in the whole of the UK and that is just in one area of

Cornwall. The microclimate is very similar to the Himalayas because it

sits in a valley. When we went over there, flying, you can see the area

of that area of Cornwall. Literally when you are in that area it is very

damp, very musky and murky, perfect for tea. Really unusual. They

actually export that tea to China next Mac no way! Next week, if I was

going to what should one side of your show, and of course I will be

watching all of them, Wednesday's is a pretty good one? Highland cattle,

I am a big fan of them. All along the West Coast of Scotland, you go

right up there, we went up to lock fine where they produce amazing

langoustines. Most of them are exported to France and Spain. They

used to use them as scampi. When you venture inland you have the Highland

cattle and they were beautiful. Very slow mature and cattle, take about

three years to produce amazing meat. We go and see them. But what else

happens? We nearly get gored by a cow. We have the footage. It was

very close. I have the scars to prove it. We are in the middle, five

down and five to go. Monday we will look at the new Forest and

particularly the Isle of Wight. The best tomatoes in the world come from

the Isle of Wight. It is all to do with the double hit of the sunshine

and it produces a microclimate like nowhere else. While James is led

around Britain are his stomach, Cerys is a woman who is inspired by

music and poetry. She was recently in the Scottish capital.

I am here in Edinburgh, a city steeped in literature and culture.

Even the railway station is named after a novel, that is the Waverley,

by Sir Walter Scott. I'm here to walk in the footsteps of another

writer who created one of the most famous schoolteachers in Britain,

that is Muriel Spark and the prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Maggie Smith

immortalised the character in the film. I am in the business of

putting old head on young shoulders and all of my pupils are the creme

de la creme. She is a schoolmistress with unconventional teaching methods

and this puts her at odds with her colleagues. She says, give me a girl

at an impressionable age and she is mine for life. Miss Brodie's methods

were unusual. She prefers to talk about art, travel and her amorous

liaison is. iamb dedicated to you in my prime, and my summer in Italy has

convinced me that I am in my prime. They had travelled to Italy in the

1920s, and her adventures were detailed in young Muriel Price and

classroom, stories the writer would later exploit in her novel. How

similar was she to the character? She was glamorous, she liked

clothes, she liked foreign travel and art, she liked Italy. She taking

the children to sit under a tree, talking about her love life, her

travels around Italy... Yes, I think Muriel said at the time that lots of

women in those days were turned on by the uniform, in a sense. Before

the Second World War, fascism was sweeping Europe. 30 years later,

Muriel Spark uses Brodie's infatuation with teachers to show

that her judgment was far from perfect. Tell us about the Scottish

aspect of the novel. The fascinating aspect of that is that it is a very

Calvinist, dull country, and here was this ray of sunshine of this

person, Jean Brodie, who was determined not to be all of these

things. Mary tried to keep up with her. They were crossing the meadows,

a gusty expanse of common land, glaring green under the sky. Their

destination was the old town, for Jean Brodie had said they should see

where history had been lived. Edinburgh's most famous landmark

also features in the book. Now, they were in the great square, with the

castle, which in any case was everywhere, rearing up between the

big gap in the houses where the aristocracy used to live. Brodie

encourages the young people to pursue adventure and freedom, but

Muriel Spark shows us this is reckless. You have brought me down

to the river, which plays an important part in the book. Yes, one

of the girls comes down here for a walk, Jenny, and experiences

something extraordinarily unpleasant, a man flashing at her.

But when the news of this gets out, the other girls are told, do not go

off walking on your own, to places where you might fall into danger. Of

course, this is contrary to what they are being taught by Jean

Brodie. Yes, she wants them to go out and experience places where they

have never been. Jean Brodie was influential in many bad ways. But

the city plays a very influential part in the book. Yes, you could not

have the novel without Edinburgh. The novel was published in 1961, and

50 years on, it has become a modern classic. Edinburgh, like Miss

Brodie, and the teacher who inspired her, have this elegant, composed

persona, which fits in with the city itself. And Cerys Matthews is with

us now. Nice to see you. It I do not know about that hat I liked it.

Where you are from, in North Yorkshire, that has got a literary

connection as well. And you have the book in your restaurant. We have

made a little book to share with you about the connection. He made with

-- he made friends with a guy from Malton, and he moved back to Malton

and invited Charles Dickens to come back and visit him in his house,

called Eastthorpe. Yorkshire was so excited about the visit of Charles

Dickens, that it made the Yorkshire Gazette, in honour of his visit. And

then, so, he stayed with him there in the house, and that is his

friend, Charles Smithson's, house. He said, come on, Charles, come and

have a look at the family lawyer business in Chancery Lane. It was a

lawyer's business, and Charles was so enamoured by this place that he

modelled Scrooge's counting office on this business. And the office is

in a little alleyway, isn't it? It is. Do you live that way? No, not

there, I normally park my car near there and go down the restaurant.

You recognise it? It has got a specific curve, and then the bells,

the bells of St Leonard's Church, apparently, they herald the arrival

of the ghosts in the novel, A Christmas Carol. Can you confirm

that isn't St Leonard's Church? It is, yes, I went to school in

Wellington... It is not about you, this. Sorry, you are on BBC One

tomorrow morning. There is a connection with this book, which

James has had in his rest want. This book came up for auction recently in

James has had in his rest want. This New York, and it was a group of

local businessmen, in a campaign spearheaded by none other than

Selina Scott, another auction, and they made enough money to buy that

at auction. Yes how much it went for. If it is in Yorkshire... Ready

7000. And they succeeded in winning that bid, and they brought it back

to the University of your. -- 27,000. Why York, and not Malton?

Because they do not have a university in Malton. This could be

your last chance to have a barbecue this year, over the weekend. Do you,

James Martin, take this lady, Cerys Matthews, to be your barbecue Queen

for the end of the show? Yes, I do. To you, Cerys Matthews, take James

Martin to be your barbecue king at the end of the show? I guess so. Get

to Europe rather do, then. We have had e-mails, by the way, about your

hair. -- get to your barbecue. Anyway, every year, the National

portrait Gallery hangs up a picture of a Great Briton who has changed

people's lives, called the People's Portrait. For the first time this

year, it was decided by One Show viewers, from a choice of 12 amazing

individuals, such as Michael Palin, Doreen Lawrence, Clive Stafford

Smith, Esther Rantzen, the list goes on. So who did you vote for? Reveal

yourself, the People's Portrait winner...

Hello. I just wanted to say a very big thank you to all of The One Show

viewers who voted for me. I am very, very flattered. I was up

against some very iconic people, and for me, and ordinary lad from a

council estate, to be hanging in the National portrait Gallery, this is

something very special. Thank you so very much from the bottom of my

heart. I really am truly, very, very flattered. Thank you.

Congratulations to Simon Weston. We will be following Simon, as he has

his portrait painted, and we will show it to you when it is done. Now,

how often do you do something because you want to do it? How often

how often do you do something do you do it just because everybody

else is doing it? Here is Michael Mosley to explain. We like to think

of ourselves of individuals, but are we aware of when we are and when we

are not act king of our own free will? New research is investigating

this matter of peer group pressure. Back in the 1950s, social

psychologist Solomon Ash did some ground-breaking work on the power of

conformity. He wanted to understand why ceremony people in Germany had

conformed to Nazi ideology, and his experiments revealed just how

powerful a force peer pressure can experiments revealed just how

be. What he showed is that can take few as three people to exert enough

social pressure to change the pressure of one unwitting person,

even if what they are doing is frankly ridiculous. We are going to

test that idea. I have got my four stooges, and we are going to try and

find our unwitting member of the public.

We are doing a cognitive test. We are asking numbers of the public to

do the experiment, as it was carried out many decades ago. This film from

the 1970s shows how the test works. The experiment involves a perception

of line length. The test will be to look at the line on the left and

indicate which of the three lines on the right is equal to it in

length... The subject was not told that his fellow participants were

stooges, who were all going to give the wrong answer. One. One. One.

Two. Amazingly, in the original test, up to three quarters of

subjects ignored the obviously correct answer and copied the

stooges. Three. Three. But what will happen when our subject take the

same line test? A. A... It seems this man is not so easily

influenced. This interest could give psychologist has studied the results

and thinks we are now less conformist. I think we are more

selective these days about the groups or the group memberships that

we used to define ourselves. Over the course of the day, we conducted

the test with five subjects, and not a single participant gave a wrong

answer. The results suggest we have become less conformist, which seems

significant. We decided to try the test again in the more informal

setting of a shopping centre, again on a question which had been agreed

beforehand, without stooges once again primed. C. C. C. C. Over the

day, more than half of those who took part conformed, following the

stooges, and giving the wrong answer. I just followed everyone,

really. We have carried out one more secret test on our original

subjects. Before they entered the building, our team rigged the lift,

and then as they got in, are stooges all faced in the same direction.

Would our subject to the same, when secretly filmed? So, they are

getting in the lift. Now, you are all staring at the same direction,

at this war. Were you aware of doing that? No, I was not aware of what

everybody else was doing. You are facing the same way as all of the

other people in the lift. I was not really aware of that. I suspect that

we are less conformist than we were in the 1950s, but nonetheless, we

are still subject to subtle social pressures. So, if you find yourself

doing something unexpected, ask yourself why. Going up! Why indeed.

Next week, Ronnie Corbett is here, and we want to know your favourite

sketches, so you can e-mail them to us. I presume they are sketches by

The Two Ronnies. Yes, indeed. What are we cooking up? We have got

langoustines, these are the best langoustines, in the world, I think,

and they come from Northern Ireland and Scotland, particularly the West

side of Scotland. These ones come from Loch Fyne. Amazing creatures.

We export most of them, but we should be eating a lot more of them.

If you carry on cooking them, they go tender again, is that right? No.

I am going to have to go for the Welsh Lamb. Welsh Lamb is fantastic

on the barbecue as well. Ideally, marinate it beforehand, and do not

overcook it. Lamb like this you only want to cook for ten minutes, no

more than that. Season it afterwards, like the beef. Tell me

what you think. I fancy a bit of beef, British beef, but not from

England, Scotland or Wales... This is dexter beef, the size of the fill

it is much smaller. These are featured in your series? They are,

these are the short leaded cattle. -- short leaded cattle. This dexter

beef is amazing, it is slightly gamey. Short-legged. One of the

first things we finished on the barbecue was the pork, tell us about

that. It is Lincolnshire pork, it is all to do with the it is quite sandy

there, perfect weather conditions for outdoor pork, but not for arable

crops. Certain arable crops to grow well in Lincoln, but this one, in

particular, it is a fantastic outdoor crop. Yes, we are back on

air tomorrow, with Saturday Kachin. outdoor crop. Yes, we are back on

That is at ten o'clock tomorrow. That is it for tonight. Enjoy the

last barbecue weekend, or what could be, the last of 2013. James's new

series is on every night, BBC Two, six .30pm.
