Well hello. Welcome to your Shrove Tuesday One Show with Alex Jones. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
And flipping Matt Baker. Marty is blowing up cash machines in a field. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
There we are. And Joe is high above the skies of a | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
mining village with a moving tale. That is not all. Theo catches one a | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
MasterChef winner whose planned to build an empire have taken a knock. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Joining us is a man whose pioneering work in keeping animals a live is | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
captivating us on TV right now. It is Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick. | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
APPLAUSE Nice to see you. We heard we are | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
lucky to have you here, you have come straight from surgery. I have. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
Last operation was. A total hip operation in a cat. You did make me | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
do a personal best. 42 minutes. Total hip replacement. Defencen't | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
rushed. It was done properly. I got the x-rays sent through in the car. | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Shall we give her a shout out? Yes, Peanut well done. And a shout out | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
for the owners to say even though it was done quickly it was precise. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Very precise. You rang me at the last minute. I didn't know I was | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
coming. This is how we roll on The One Show. It is just how you roll. | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
That is brilliant. We often judge the guests on what Alex is going | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
wearing for the evening. It is like I am doing... Can you come on the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
show? Yes. Now, well talking to you about veterinary work it is Pancake | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Day, we want to see your One Show themed pancakes this evening. So get | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
creative now, while we are on air, then take pictures of your pancakes | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
and send them to the usual address. They have to have a One Show | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
address. A bit of cream. Have a look at this clip. A petrol station | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
forecourt in the middle of the night. Enter, look, a digger, and | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
within seconds, the cashpoint machine has gone. Out. It is | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
remarkable. I think that is the worst get away vehicle ever. Of any | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
robbery, to be fair. But the security industry experts are | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
continually looking at ways to foil that kind of crime. Marty, who blows | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
up things for a living in the name of science of course, spent a day | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
with them near York. Manufacture These days, getting your cash out of | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
the cash machine is so easy. But, there are some people who take it to | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
a whole new level. They want the whole cashpoint. Ram raiding has | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
been the usual way. Smashing through a bank wall with a digger and | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
dragging out the machine. How often does it happen? No official figure, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
but it is said well over one hundred attacks a year. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
At an airfield near York a specialist team of ATM designers are | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
determined to change that. They are about to test a new generation of | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
cashpoint, that might bring the number right down. In fact, they are | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
going to be tested to destruction. Four cash machines have been bolted | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
on the steel plinths that are bolted into concrete. They couldn't be more | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
rigid. Two are fitted with new technology, two aren't. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Testing to destruction is very important. It is the only way we can | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
eensure the products work. We can do test rigs and test them in the | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
workshop, but replicating what happens in real life is the only way | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
we can ensure it does snuck as it is meant to do. To complete the picture | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
the team have decided to go one step further. I brought me own balaclava. | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
And I am going to time them. We have the JCB here. It will ram through, | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
knock the ATM over and we will drag it out. Ready, go. | :04:14. | :04:25. | |
It turns out they all knew this would happen. In the past, it has | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
been this simple. That was about 56 seconds. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
But now, the designers have come up with an idea that might be the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
answer. Under the blue box we have a different ground anchor, we have a | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
flexible link to the ATM that will take the energy of an impact and | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
stop the ATM being dragged away by a strap. | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
The heaven have duty chain is meant to bring the raid to a grinding | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
halt. It seems to work. -- heavy duty. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Well they have been three minutes. I think the police would be here | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
shortly. The alarms would be going an. Do you reckon a cup of tea? I | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
think so, let's go. You thought ram raids were | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
destructive, gas can do real damage. The remains of a Post Office near | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Bristol in the first week of the New Year. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
The thieves blasted out the ATM by igniting gas, a family sleeping | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
upstairs escaped unhurt. The same method will be used in the next | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
test, to see the extent of the damage. The force is typical of the | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
amateur way. Not knowing how much gas to use it is usually too much. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
That no-one has been injured is down to luck. It is, the whole side has | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
blown out, Where has the door gone? It is over there! Yes. The door has | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
travelled 50, 60 feet. Impacted into the ground. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Completely, I can't even lift that. It weighs a tonne that. So does the | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
fourth machine hold the snans what is different? Nothing physical you | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
can see but we fitted a gas suppression system. How does it | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
work? I can't tell you exactly, but it detects the gas, it raises the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
alarm and suppresses the attack. That smoke is the suppressant | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
itself. It is doing its job. It is stopping the explosion. Just for | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
good measure. ATM system has been activated. Police have been | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
notified. No explosion, the money is safe. Safer than the last lot was. | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
So, for the thief risk might no longer equal reward, and the banks | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
will be quids in. Well there we are. It will put the | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
digger back in the garage. It is over. Joking. Noel. No way, are you? | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
Go on. You have been on before, talking about the pioneering surgery | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
that you do on animals, Supervet is back on the telly at the moment, and | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
we were wondering about your latest techniques because you are always | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
developing the stuff you are doing and ultz always breaking new | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
grounds, so what have you been up to since we saw you last? Trying to | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
find solutions for challenges, I strongly believe that animals | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
deserve a solution, an option, when they are ill, when they are sick, so | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
we have just set up a factory, a plant, that builds three | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
dimensionally implants and regenerative medicine you can put | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
cells in so they grow, and we can provide pretty much a solution for | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
most parts of the skeleton right now, a bit of skull, a bit of knee | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
if your ankle is hurting you pop a bit in and you will be fine. It's | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
the perfect marriage, so that is the goal. It is the goal in human | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
surgery, as you know if you want to regenerate an organ that is the way | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
you would love to do it. So it is the perfect marriage of those two | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
things. That is up and running? As of December. What is the most | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
extreme thing you are most kind of proud of doing, and succeeding with? | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
My mum told me never to be proud, and she is quite right, because | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
biology will humble you, no matter what happens, so, I guess the thing | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
that is most perceived as extreme is when we do the limb amputations, | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
especially if you have an animal who has lost more than one leg, o a | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
human, so the technology that we have got right now, ta that you can | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
3-D print, that is considered extreme but I guarantee you it will | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
be the norm in 20 year, why wouldn't you, you would put that implant in, | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
Bob's your uncle, off you run. Result. Well, in tonight's episode | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
of The Supervet we made a Great Dane called Starlet. Can we get her to | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
stand at all? OK. It will be good for he to see her walk any way, so | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
go ahead. Go ahead and walk ahead of me. Off you go. OK, so when did she | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
start to go off her legs. Oi, oi. So that is not typical at all of her. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Not at all. Paul and Sue are waiting to find out the results of Star's | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
scans. Oh man. Wow. I have never seen one that big in a Great Dane, | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
ever. Got a massive dis, explosion in her lower back. | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
So what happened to Star, what was the outcome? She had exploded a disk | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
in her lower back, down at the base, so she was in extreme pain. The same | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
would be true of you if you had it going down both your leg, you would | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
feel awful. You see how much those people love her? That is why we make | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
the show, even though she had the most advanced science available on | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
planet earth we make it for love. This is the point. In tonight's | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
episode you say that humans can't live without animals? Did I say | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
that? Finally I speak my mind. But this is all, you have about to | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
launch this incredible rock concert called One Live be with that thought | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
in mind. It very much is the thought in mind. I believe that animals give | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
humans so much. They are part of the food chain. They give us love. Who | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
doesn't go home to their dog or cat and go ah. They give us our drugs | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
and implants there will be experimental models. This is your | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
dream to have this concert that will raise money for what you have been | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
passionate about. It is my life's dream to celebrate in music, what I | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
feel every day in love, so One Live was set up to celebrate one medicine | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
and it is to help a child with bone cancer, and a dog with bone cancer | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
at the same time. So everybody who loves dogs and children can come to | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
One Live on the fourth of June in Guildford. If you don't like dogs or | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
kids don't come. There is not many people like that. Who have you got | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
singing? We launched today, so if you Google One Live right now we | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
launched 20 minutes ago. I only heard I was coming on your show now. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Launching it on The One Show. And in one moment in time, we have The | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
Feeling, Reef, scouting for girl, a load of up-and-coming bads. I am | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
into indie rock and it will be a fantastic event, but you get to hang | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
with me. I get to explain the secret of eternal life. We will be there. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The Supervet is on tonight at 9.00 on Channel 4. Now, for years farmers | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
have been complaining that supermarkets reject their fruit and | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
vegetables because they are too big or they are the wrong shape. It has | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
led to protests from them and campaigns from the likes of Hugh | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Fearnley-Whittingstall. There is evidence that supermarkets are | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
responding, Lucy may be sceptical, we will find out in a minute, but | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
first, here is Carrie. Veg boxes went on sale in a select | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
few ASDA score storers so we thought we would look round one. Have you | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
got any of those wonky veg? We are sold out. There aren't any. They are | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
selling like hot cake, sort of. Food waste is a much talked about issue | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
in the UK with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
Oliver and Jimmy Doherty running separate campaigns to reduce it. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Part of the problem is between 20 and 40% of produce grown in the UK | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
is not sold in the supermarkets, as they deem the veg as too ugly to | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
sell to us Joe supplies veg to the supermarket industry as well as | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
restaurants in London. He is now supplying the new wonky veg boxes to | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
ASDA This is the one that has been launched last week. Some things are | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
very wonky, you a wonky cucumber there. If you are cutting it, it | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
doesn't matter. So again these are a bit wonky and there is telescoping | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
going on, we will cut that off and discard that. That looks fine. That | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
is not wonky. This will be there because of the cracking. How much | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
could I buy that for? ASDA retail this at 3.50 a box. I could feed my | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
kids for about four days on 3.50. How much food gets wasted. We waste | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
about 15% of what we grow, which is a huge amount when you think we are | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
producing 75 to 100 tonnes of product a week. You wouldn't be | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
growing all of this in here pause it is winter? We are collating six | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
other UK growers worth of produce, so this isn't just helping us a as | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
farm, it is helping other farmers. Jack Ward from the British Growers | :14:22. | :14:31. | |
Association is concerned. It costs the same to produce a wonky | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
vegetable as it does to produce a straight vegetable. They require the | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
same seed, same input, same harvesting etc, etc, except you end | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
up getting less for that product than you otherwise would. Are some | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
farmers worried about the idea that wonky veg could become more | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
fashionable We have to make sure the business of producing is | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
sustainable. If this can increase the amount of product that is | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
marketed, rather than product that is thrown away, that is good, but we | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
have to keep one eye on the price and make sure there is an adequate | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
return from everything that comes from UK farms so there is money to | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
re-invest for the future. While the supermarkets are changing their tune | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
when it comes to the malformled vegetable, what about their | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
customers? What do you reck don that? 3.50? Marvellous. Would you | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
buy that? Yes, because as well, the price. Veg is veg. It is the taste | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
not the form. Why do you think we demand perfect fruit and veg? I | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
don't think we are. Do you think that this is here to stay, this | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
idea? Doesn't end here with this, we have to move on from this, we have | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
to continue to work hard, and try and understand how we can get more | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
of this produce on to the shelves on to supermarket shelves. There is | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
some reservation in the industry but as long as they taste the same and | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
they are cheaper I think they are likely to remain on the shelves for | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
some time to come. All power We have got a box of this and that | :16:02. | :16:16. | |
is incredibly tactile, it makes you hungry just looking at it. It must | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
be a move in the right direction, are you sceptical the problem is | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
being sold? I am a little bit because I think supermarkets and the | :16:28. | :16:37. | |
big four are all doing something to do with wonky veg in some way. I | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
know they are very good at marketing and creating an appetite for stuff, | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
I just feel this is superficial and there is other things. Waste | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
campaigners say they want a 30% reduction by 2025, and the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
supermarkets are nowhere near that at the moment. I know how | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
frustrating this is for growers and the National farmers union has | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
developed this pledge, hasn't it? Yes, this fruit and veg Pledge, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
which is about repairing this fractured relationship between | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
suppliers and the supermarkets, which in some cases is pretty | :17:20. | :17:28. | |
dysfunctional. A couple of weeks ago this report was brought out, which | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
basically talks about Tesco and make some serious points. One supplier | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
awaited two years to be paid, and these people are feeling | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
unbelievable pressure. The pressure on the system also seems to | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
contribute to food waste so you have farmers overproducing because they | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
are so panicked about being D listed by the supermarket. Tesco apologised | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
and said it is historical and they have changed their practices working | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
with suppliers. We need to see some sort of reparation with that being | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
mended because that is key to food waste and the issues we are seeing | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
around suppliers. In France they have got tough and they are starting | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
fining supermarket. If they don't add here, they will get tough | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
measures. Thanks. Moving on to another part of our landscape | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
because we all know about the Angel of the North up in my neck of the | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
woods, but what about the Angel of the valleys? I am embarrassed to | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
admit I had never heard about this one. It is beautiful. Joe has | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
everything we need to know. At first glance, Abertillery seems like a | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
typical Welsh valley town but look across the tree tops and you will | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
see something far less ordinary. Known as angel of the valleys, it is | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
the towering figure of the minor stripped to the waist. Built from | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
20,000 ribbons of steel, this rusting icon as a shimmering, almost | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
ghostly quality. It is here to commemorate events that took place | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
in 1960, more than 1000 feet below me. Back then the six bells colliery | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
employed 1400 coalminers, Trevor Mitchell was one of them. It is | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
probably the worst job you can think about, with sweat running down your | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
face and you can hardly see out. As a young man did you think about the | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
dangers? Yes, I had minor accidents, I had a finger off. Who is this man? | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
My father-in-law, Albert John Evans. He was a wonderful man, very | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
intelligent, kind grandfather to my oldest daughter. And he worked down | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
the mine as well? Yes, he was a packer. I've never known anyone | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
hated so much. He always a premonition that something would | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
happen to him underground. He used to say you don't know if you are | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
going to come home or not. In latter years he used to think he could | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
smell gas. You have got to give him credit, because he still went | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
underground because he had to earn money for his family. They went down | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
the pit at quarter past one... On the 20th of June 1960, his fears | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
were proved correct, a gas explosion devastated the shaft he was working | :20:40. | :20:48. | |
in, killing him and 44 other miners. The vicar of six bells prayed for | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
the safety of trapped workers and the success of rescue operations. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Trevor was safely above ground at the time but volunteered to recover | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
the bodies. I had driven past but never walked in. Today he is | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
returning to Orb's house. This is where he lived, what's it like being | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
back here all these years later? It is small. It is quite emotional, | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
seeing this, I could cry. Your mother-in-law and wife must have | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
been in pieces. Terrible, days of crying. It seems strange being in | :21:33. | :21:44. | |
this room. Orb's wife only received his last wage packet. I remember she | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
broke down. They said here is the money, and she said it is all about | :21:54. | :22:06. | |
bloody money, isn't it? 50 years after the disaster, the angel of the | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
valleys was built on the site by artist Sebastien by assent I'm | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
giving Trevor and Jim Watkins a unique view of it. We came and | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
filmed this when there was slightly better whether to give you the idea | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
of some of the intricate detail, using a drone, and it is | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
spectacular, isn't it? Standing tall as the Guardian of this valley. Yes, | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
and it still means something to me. I will never forget them. It is good | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
how his hands are open, like come to me. I think there is a comfort to | :22:45. | :22:54. | |
it, isn't there? I don't know that they could do any better. It is nice | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
to think that is going to be there well after we have gone, it will be | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
there forever. You lose yourself when you look at that. It is | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
everything you want from a statue of remembrance. It is really majestic, | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
looking over. And the way he has his hands out is so redemptive. Hope. | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
Earlier, we asked you to send in pictures of your One Show pancake | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
creations. I have this brilliant one from Amy Stedman, especially for me. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
It is a cat you were operating on earlier today. This is delicious, | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
from Laura Louise and Natasha in Chester. This one comes from Leah | :23:47. | :23:56. | |

Wood look at the skills she has, documented that running a restaurant | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
can be a nightmare, but it doesn't stop thousands giving | :24:03. | :24:09. | |

last summer at his upmarket Chinese takeaway in the heart of Cardiff's | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
student district. Larkin was producing quality food at premium | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
prices but I wasn't producing quality food at premium | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
reach its true potential in this producing quality food at premium | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
student area of the city. When you have a takeaway, what do you expect | :24:42. | :24:49. | |
to pay? It is a student area so budgets are bit tighter. And Larkin | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
already have big ideas to expand but I was nervous about his plans. You | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
are going to open another shop? I think it is too much of a gamble. It | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
has only been four months since I last saw Larkin but tonight is a | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
special occasion for him and Hokkei. Tonight we are doing a charity event | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
with students at catering college and it will be great to teach them | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
about Asian food. Before and it will be great to teach them | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
prepping, I want a word. Hello! I'm so sorry I cannot be with | :25:31. | :25:31. | |
prepping, I want a word. Hello! I'm have been setting up a meeting for | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
you at have been setting up a meeting for | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
restaurants. See you there and don't be late. The charity event is a | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
great way to spread the Hokkei message, and Larkin is training of | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
students in the process. I think Larkin need something to measure up | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
his business plan against so I have arranged for him to meet Art, who | :25:59. | :26:12. | |
runs a sophisticated Chinese food chain in London. I want to introduce | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
you to my chef. Larkin harbours dreams of opening several | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
restaurants around the UK. I am getting about | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
restaurants around the UK. I am now. I'm keen to hear what Art | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
thinks about his plans. How difficult is it to open | :26:36. | :26:43. | |
multisite restaurants? It is fairly difficult, as you grow it becomes | :26:44. | :26:53. | |
easier. How many have you got? I have got eight. That is pretty good, | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
to be honest. How did you prepare yourself for that expansion? The | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
important thing is to think about the amount of cash you need. They | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
may not start trading from the beginning and you need to plan to be | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
able to cover your fixed costs for about six months. Larkin should also | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
bear in mind another time-honoured rule for any business. Try to | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
understand what the customers want, don't try to guess what they want. | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
That is great advice, but is Larkin listening? Last time I saw you, you | :27:30. | :27:38. | |
went to a property which I didn't like, I didn't think it was a | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
moneymaking venture, and I told you so. You didn't get it? No, the | :27:42. | :27:52. | |
reason was costs, it wasn't the right location and costs were way | :27:53. | :27:56. | |
too high. So have you given up your dream of a second restaurant? No, we | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
are close to completing a lease on a separate property. We have the rent | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
right, we pay less than what we pay now but it is in a young | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
professional area rather than a student area. You seem to have taken | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
those points on board, what could go wrong? It is food, anything can go | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
wrong! And go wrong they did, as just a month after our meeting | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
spiralling costs forced Larkin to close Hokkei, putting brakes on any | :28:27. | :28:35. | |
hope of expanding his takeaway. But he is a fighter, it is not the end. | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
He has launched his first restaurant at the 5-star Celtic Manor Hotel. | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
From the whole year of learning, it has focused me. I know what I want | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
going forward. I cannot help but like Larkin, although sometimes he | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
is blatantly wrong he goes away, considers and listens, and that is a | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
sign of a future successful entrepreneur. | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
We wish Larkin all the best. That is all we have got time for tonight. | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
Noel, thanks for your company. Tomorrow we'll be joined | :29:12. | :29:13. | |
