:00:04. > :00:08.not Nativity. No... Off I think at his school, it probably was a
:00:08. > :00:17.nativity play with Father Christmas. I am the in Tibet tonight. You have
:00:17. > :00:22.grown a beard, especially? -- innkeeper. You know you had the
:00:22. > :00:27.moustaches in November? I didn't join in that, I felt so guilty.
:00:27. > :00:32.That was for prostate cancer, this one is for bowel cancer. I've grown
:00:32. > :00:35.hair all over my body. I know, it's going to raise lots of money.
:00:35. > :00:39.Thousands of servicemen and women will be missing a family Christmas
:00:39. > :00:43.as they continue their tour of duty in far flung corners of the globe.
:00:43. > :00:50.But for the crew of the Navy's biggest ship, Christmas starts
:00:50. > :00:53.today. HMS Ocean, the largest ship in the Royal Navy. Her 400 strong
:00:53. > :01:00.company has spent nearly eight months away from their loved ones.
:01:00. > :01:04.They have been doing vital work, supporting British forces in Libya.
:01:04. > :01:10.Now HMS Ocean is returning to her home port of Plymouth. I am here to
:01:10. > :01:15.meet the crew as they head back to see their families for Christmas.
:01:15. > :01:20.Navigating the vessel home his captain Andrew batten. We left the
:01:20. > :01:24.UK in April, expected to be away for seven weeks. We find ourselves
:01:24. > :01:28.coming home 7 and a half months later. How will you feel tomorrow?
:01:28. > :01:32.I think all of us will feel excited getting back to Plymouth. The idea
:01:32. > :01:36.of being reunited with families and friends in time for Christmas is a
:01:36. > :01:39.wonderful present. When the crew at HMS Ocean found out their
:01:39. > :01:48.deployment was coming to an end just before Christmas, they decided
:01:48. > :01:56.to celebrate with a special # All I Want For Christmas Is you!
:01:56. > :02:00.How did you make it? We found that we were coming back for Christmas
:02:00. > :02:05.and it was nice to do something Christmas Eve. We were still in the
:02:05. > :02:10.sunshine at the time. So we put on a Christmas twist. I'm catching up
:02:10. > :02:14.with some of the crew over dinner. They said seven weeks, then they
:02:14. > :02:17.said possibly six months. We were prepared for that. We never in a
:02:17. > :02:20.million years thought it would be until Christmas. That is all we
:02:20. > :02:23.wanted to do, getting back on Christmas. If having the security
:02:23. > :02:27.of knowing you will be back with your family and friends for
:02:27. > :02:31.Christmas. My girlfriend is in the Navy as well. I am flying there
:02:31. > :02:37.tomorrow morning to go for Christmas with her. About 10 people
:02:37. > :02:42.on the day, my wife, my mum and dad, my godson, my best friend, they
:02:42. > :02:46.will be there. One man has three reasons more than most to get home
:02:46. > :02:52.as soon as possible. Who we are these little people that you spend
:02:52. > :02:56.a lot of time looking at? Bless them, it would have been three
:02:56. > :03:02.months ago when those two were born. Unfortunately I could only spend 10
:03:02. > :03:07.days at home. They don't now I am going to be home, she will be
:03:07. > :03:11.rather excited. She is going to be extremely excited. It was a big
:03:11. > :03:15.morale boost to find that we would be back for Christmas. It's going
:03:15. > :03:19.to be amazing. Most of the 400 strong crew have been on the ship
:03:19. > :03:24.almost eight months. I am leading to meet those waiting for their
:03:24. > :03:28.return. I miss the company, I miss when he is here at night. When you
:03:28. > :03:33.have had a bad day, you can just talk to them. I think that is the
:03:34. > :03:38.worst thing, with them being away. You can't just pick up the phone.
:03:38. > :03:42.She doesn't know he is coming home on Friday, because I wanted to keep
:03:42. > :03:46.it is secret. When she saw Father Christmas, she asked for her daddy
:03:46. > :03:51.to come home. That is her main Christmas wish. It's not often that
:03:51. > :03:54.you can make wishes come true. So it's really exciting. She is going
:03:54. > :04:04.to get what she really wants for Christmas. What is your Christmas
:04:04. > :04:08.
:04:08. > :04:13.What we have done there, we have set up a classic Christmas tear-
:04:13. > :04:17.jerker. Part two is on the way. HMS Ocean comes home to Plymouth before
:04:17. > :04:24.the show ends. Before we talk about your book, which is why you are
:04:24. > :04:31.here... And to see you! You are part of the big BBC Christmas
:04:31. > :04:34.extravaganza this year. Sort of. I am in an episode of the Royal
:04:34. > :04:40.Bodyguard, a new series starring David Jason. You lie in one
:04:40. > :04:45.episode? I am in episode four. Shall we look at you in action?
:04:45. > :04:52.Where were you yesterday? At an auction house. Do you have
:04:52. > :04:58.witnesses to call rate that? -- tall break that? Yes. You can
:04:58. > :05:04.provide us with a list of the witnesses? No problem at all.
:05:04. > :05:14.and I do good, or the bad cop? Give me my name to back. I am
:05:14. > :05:20.
:05:20. > :05:25.sucking yet. I don't care, hand it Not every day you get to spit out
:05:25. > :05:29.of Oudin to Sir David Jason's hand. What did you learn from him? He is
:05:29. > :05:35.the governor. I was so happy to work with him, I have admired him
:05:35. > :05:41.for many years. He is totally down- to-earth, he chats to everybody.
:05:41. > :05:46.What do you pick up from those greats? I worked with Sir Michael
:05:46. > :05:49.Gambon, doing a play. I learned a lot from him. Just to be free,
:05:49. > :05:57.really. There was a great moment in the finished programme, where I
:05:57. > :06:02.have to get a picture frame. David Jason has got stuck in it. As I did
:06:02. > :06:06.it, I hit him on the head by accident. He reacted to it in
:06:06. > :06:13.character, and it ended up in the show. Are you good enough to do
:06:13. > :06:17.that yet? No. But you are getting there! Give him a chance! He has
:06:17. > :06:22.got a number of years on me. Royal Bodyguard is on on Boxing
:06:22. > :06:25.Day? That was royal fantasy, but you were doing the royals for real?
:06:25. > :06:29.I got to meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace. She invited me
:06:29. > :06:34.to meet her because of the swimming that I did, that you so brilliantly
:06:34. > :06:38.supported. It was amazing. I got to talk to her twice. She asked me how
:06:38. > :06:44.I was. She followed the whole thing and knew that I was not well.
:06:44. > :06:50.was a big deal. What was the set up at the Palace? Well, just me and
:06:50. > :06:54.her... I really wanted to say, it was just drinks, 6 o'clock it is
:06:55. > :06:59.drinks. By 7 o'clock you are going to be out there. I really wanted to
:06:59. > :07:02.say, what are you having for dinner? It was adventurers and
:07:02. > :07:07.explorers. There were other people like their grilles, David
:07:07. > :07:12.Attenborough, Michael Palin. you not want to chat to each other,
:07:12. > :07:22.about what it was like? The we were sharing stories. You must have met
:07:22. > :07:26.
:07:26. > :07:32.the Queen? I never have. I have met her once. Proper protocol? Yes.
:07:32. > :07:38.Looking at the book, it will be in lots of children's stockings,
:07:38. > :07:42.granny gangster... Gangsta Granny! That was a good start. What is it
:07:42. > :07:50.about? It is about a boy who has to spend every Friday night with his
:07:50. > :07:57.granny. He hated until he discovers she has a dark secret. She is an
:07:57. > :08:00.international jewel thief. They got one last heist. They go to steal
:08:00. > :08:04.the crown jewels. The Queen is in the book as a character. Did she
:08:05. > :08:09.mind? There is a bit when you see she is wearing Union Jack knickers
:08:09. > :08:14.in the book. I thought, I don't know if she would appreciate that!
:08:14. > :08:19.She might, actually. Good evening, your majesty, if you are watching.
:08:19. > :08:23.You are now a successful children's author. This is book number four.
:08:23. > :08:26.Each one has done better than the last. I have really built up an
:08:26. > :08:31.audience of kids that know me for books. They write me letters and
:08:31. > :08:37.say, what would you do if you were not a children's author? I say, I
:08:37. > :08:41.am actually on television. I think kids array tough audience. How long
:08:41. > :08:46.does it take you to write a book? An afternoon. I don't know, I write
:08:46. > :08:50.it over about six months. I need a lot of time to think. I don't have
:08:50. > :08:53.the whole story or plot, all of the characters at once. You can't get
:08:53. > :08:57.away with it with kids, they will find you out. They have so many
:08:57. > :09:01.other things they could be doing, rather than reading books. Parents
:09:01. > :09:07.come up to be in supermarkets and say, that you so much, we could get
:09:07. > :09:11.your son -- our son to read a book until he started reading yours.
:09:11. > :09:14.honour of Gangsta Granny, we thought we would celebrate the
:09:14. > :09:24.nation's nannas and asks and grandchildren what makes their
:09:24. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:29.I love my grandma because she has done two degrees and she is doing
:09:29. > :09:32.her third. While I am at college, it is really inspirational.
:09:32. > :09:38.completed my first degree in humanities when I was 72. I got
:09:38. > :09:44.bitten by the study bug. I went on to do theology and I just completed
:09:44. > :09:48.that at 77. I am three months into a degree with the Open University.
:09:48. > :09:52.It is great that Harry thinks I am an inspiration. If they have got
:09:52. > :09:57.something out of this, it is really good. But they are my inspiration.
:09:57. > :10:04.Truly, I really mean that. I love them to bits and I am so proud of
:10:04. > :10:10.them. I love her because she helps everybody. She set up a charity to
:10:10. > :10:15.help flood victims. I had flooded out in the 70s. I lost everything.
:10:15. > :10:19.When flooding started like Gloucestershire I thought, we have
:10:19. > :10:26.got to go out there and help these people. There is not enough help. I
:10:26. > :10:34.just got in my van. In this day and age, caring has got to come back.
:10:34. > :10:39.As a grandfather, you teach your children to do that. I love her so
:10:39. > :10:45.much because she looks after me when I am poorly. William has
:10:45. > :10:49.leukaemia. He was diagnosed exactly one year ago this week. He was a
:10:49. > :10:55.very poorly toy, but he has had some good treatment. He is getting
:10:55. > :10:59.better. When William started getting better, we took all of the
:10:59. > :11:03.grandchildren to France. To see him coming down the water slide,
:11:03. > :11:09.hundreds of times, his face was an absolute picture. I really thought,
:11:09. > :11:13.gosh, doesn't he look lovely? It really gladdened my heart. I think
:11:13. > :11:20.my experience with William being ill has taught me that you need a
:11:20. > :11:25.lot of patients and a lot of love. I love my gran because she is an
:11:25. > :11:30.inspiration to me. She makes lovely jumpers and I just love her with
:11:30. > :11:36.all my heart. She has knitted loads of jumpers. She started because of
:11:36. > :11:41.my brother, who asked for one for Christmas. A my daughter said,
:11:41. > :11:46.wouldn't it be nice if we had all had one? I said, well, I will get
:11:46. > :11:53.them for those in different colours. I went out and bought all of the
:11:53. > :11:59.balls of all I could find. Blaring colours. To me, they are proof, to
:11:59. > :12:09.them, that I love them. I would sum her up in one word, groovy. She is
:12:09. > :12:22.
:12:22. > :12:26.And we have got them on. I'm going My wife knits. I can get it and it
:12:26. > :12:31.this, it is fantastic. Sometimes Christmas jumpers are enough, but
:12:31. > :12:37.these are nice. These get bigger and bigger with every wash.
:12:37. > :12:41.have like shoulder pads. It is an 80s look. We must send the granny
:12:41. > :12:46.for that -- we must send the granite the money for the war.
:12:46. > :12:51.is called Norma. She has to be a granny. We must send her the money
:12:51. > :12:56.for the wall, that is what you do. And a bit extra as well. All right,
:12:56. > :13:01.a bit extra as well. Negotiable, all right? How much would your wife
:13:01. > :13:06.expect for a jumper? She does it for free. She has Orange Morland
:13:06. > :13:12.says I'm doing a job for you, in that colour. How long has she been
:13:12. > :13:21.knitting? She gave up smoking and she'd started knitting. She is on
:13:21. > :13:27.20 sweaters a day! I am trying. Back to your book for stopping the
:13:27. > :13:35.beginning it does say that all the characters are fictitious but it is
:13:35. > :13:40.about, explain the plot. There is a sub-plot. Ben's parents wanted to
:13:40. > :13:45.be appalled dancer and their ambition is to be on strictly
:13:45. > :13:50.starts dancing, I have called it -- a ballroom dancer. The presenter of
:13:50. > :13:56.Strictly Stars Dancing is called Serre Dirk Doddery. It is not based
:13:56. > :14:02.on anybody! We always have a nasty judge called Craig Malteser
:14:02. > :14:07.Woodward. I don't know where the inspiration comes from! You have
:14:07. > :14:12.Dame Rachel Prejudice MP. Who would that be? What is her name, that
:14:12. > :14:18.Bigley did? I can't remember her name. Ann Widdecombe.
:14:18. > :14:25.Widdecombe. Flavio Flavioli. That doesn't remind me of everyone.
:14:25. > :14:30.just took the name, he is a bit like Bruno. And his partner, Eva
:14:30. > :14:37.Bunz. An Austrian dancer, which they don't have. Do they have
:14:37. > :14:45.someone to run it? Not this year. OK, they might do. You have been to
:14:45. > :14:51.strictly, supporting. How do you know this lady? My mum. I thought
:14:51. > :14:56.we were going to see a dancer but they have changed the club! -- clip.
:14:56. > :15:02.I have met my mum a couple of times. Not the greatest question I have
:15:02. > :15:08.asked, to be honest. You were there supporting Holly. For the next 45
:15:08. > :15:14.minutes I am supporting you. When I leave you, in the car, I will
:15:14. > :15:22.support Pollitt. I was taken by her fiance, Nick, he invited us.
:15:22. > :15:30.were taken by him? Now, come on. You were taken by him? I am serious.
:15:30. > :15:35.I just signed a form, nothing rude! I will, I will support you. Not for
:15:35. > :15:44.45 minutes. I will support you now. This is from the production team, I,
:15:44. > :15:53.David Williams. David Walliams. David Walliams. Promised to support
:15:53. > :15:58.Alex... Holly. Instead of Pollitt. Instead of a holly. Or I will be
:15:58. > :16:06.automatically relegated from the role of innkeeper. I will be what?
:16:06. > :16:11.From the role of innkeeper. Or on The One Show Nativity poor start to
:16:11. > :16:17.the third palm on the left. With no coconuts. You would not do that!
:16:17. > :16:23.Yes we would. I feel awful. Being told you have breast cancer is a
:16:23. > :16:27.heart-stopping moment for anyone, male or female. Many patients'
:16:27. > :16:30.confidence is left in tatters. We followed a survivor as she helped -
:16:30. > :16:35.- be followed one survivor as she had an operation to rebuild her
:16:35. > :16:42.life. I had a mammogram, a routine one,
:16:42. > :16:47.and a week later I got a letter asking me to go back.
:16:47. > :16:50.Four years ago 54-year-old jockey was diagnosed with breast cancer.
:16:50. > :16:54.was going through everything you should not go through in your life.
:16:54. > :17:03.I had a divorce, I was losing a house. I could not work, I had
:17:03. > :17:06.cancer. It was the hardest, very, very hard. I rarely see her smile
:17:06. > :17:13.any more, and I don't blame her, the amount she has had to go
:17:13. > :17:23.through. But I do miss her smiles. I have a letter from my son. It was

:17:23. > :17:27.like, I am going to cry now... Oh sorry. It was like, you were the
:17:27. > :17:32.family and, you know, if you were not here we would not have a family.
:17:32. > :17:36.He kept me going. Jackie is one of 50,000 diagnosed with breast cancer
:17:36. > :17:41.in the UK every year. Like many women she chose to have a
:17:41. > :17:46.mastectomy. But she has found living with one breast difficult.
:17:46. > :17:52.It is uncomfortable because you are lopsided. In my mind I think you
:17:52. > :17:57.can tell something is wrong with it. Whatever to I put on does not feel

:18:01. > :18:08.friends. They phone every week and I don't go. I don't feel I am the
:18:08. > :18:11.same person. But things are about to change for Jackie. Today, she is
:18:11. > :18:18.having complex plastic surgery to reconstruct a new breast, using
:18:18. > :18:23.tissue from her stomach. I just want it opened -- over and done
:18:23. > :18:28.with, to get on with my life. When I have a new breast I am going to
:18:28. > :18:36.feel whole again. I will be the person I was, I can start enjoying
:18:36. > :18:41.myself again. Jackie will be in the hands of a consultant surgeon from
:18:41. > :18:44.the Royal Free. His team begin the delicate process of cutting the
:18:44. > :18:51.right amount of stomach tissue for her new breast. They are operating
:18:51. > :18:56.within centimetres of the vital organs. It is now time to take off
:18:56. > :19:06.the 2.5 kilos of tissue, to keep it alive it needs to be connected to

:19:21. > :19:26.will happen now. The surgeons now checked that Jackie's new breast
:19:26. > :19:35.has a good sub -- has a good blood supply. Under the microscope,

:19:47. > :19:51.They face a tricky challenge. The blood vessels they are trying to
:19:51. > :19:57.reattach have been damaged due to cancer treatments and previous
:19:57. > :20:02.operations. I am a bit concerned at the moment, to see if we can make
:20:02. > :20:07.this work on Oct. I am going to give it another five minutes and
:20:07. > :20:17.see if we can get the blood going or not. The blood is still not

:20:58. > :21:03.difference to her. It is four months since the operation. It has
:21:03. > :21:07.changed my life, 100%. I never used to look in the mirror any way but
:21:07. > :21:15.now I look at this one and think, oh, I am normal, I am a normal
:21:15. > :21:21.woman again. Yes, it is amazing. It really is. It has changed her. She
:21:21. > :21:26.is so much more confident now, and happy. The most amazing parties but
:21:26. > :21:32.her real smile is back, I have got my best friend back. Best mates,
:21:32. > :21:38.back together! A round of applause. Jackie and Jade, that was very
:21:38. > :21:44.brave, to do that, it is a very honest account of how you felt. How
:21:44. > :21:49.are you feeling now? Absolutely fine. Perfect. Is Jackie back?
:21:49. > :21:56.Normal. I have heard you were a nightmare. How long did it take
:21:56. > :22:02.altogether? After the operation, after Christmas and then I was back
:22:02. > :22:05.to normal. I am back now before I had the cancer. That is good news.
:22:05. > :22:09.Isn't it good to talk about because you know you will help other people.
:22:09. > :22:14.Hopefully, that is why I did it. You were a nightmare to look after
:22:14. > :22:18.because we have been told by Jade. What is it -- what is it like being
:22:18. > :22:21.part of the support group for your mum? It is awful, you can't do
:22:21. > :22:30.anything. There was a squad of us trying to help her, she doesn't
:22:30. > :22:36.stop. Who was in the squad? brothers, me, Sandra, Susie, Lisa,
:22:36. > :22:39.their children, so many of us. A football club, actually. A whole
:22:39. > :22:44.football club! Still they were ignored. You brought reinforcements
:22:44. > :22:49.in. Tell us about New Year's Eve. When she was having chemotherapy
:22:49. > :22:54.she had it on New Year's Eve and then came out and went straight to
:22:54. > :23:01.the football club and worked until about five. You are a nutter.
:23:01. > :23:04.the only way I could handle it. was your survival. Dr Mark, jetty's
:23:04. > :23:09.story is positive, she has come out the third but is it the same for
:23:09. > :23:14.everyone? Is reconstructive surgery as successful every time? Jackie
:23:14. > :23:19.has had a very good result can thank you for helping us to do the
:23:19. > :23:23.film, it helps dealing with taboos. Most women do not need a mastectomy
:23:23. > :23:26.in the first place but women who do need a breast removed will now
:23:26. > :23:33.routinely be up and offered the construction, or have it discussed
:23:33. > :23:38.with them. -- reconstructions. Not all will go for it. We can bring
:23:38. > :23:42.tissue from that to me, from the back, or you can take that out from
:23:42. > :23:46.the flank and buttocks and digest it -- injected into the best. It is
:23:46. > :23:50.like making a dress. What suits one woman will not suit another. You
:23:50. > :23:53.can do it at the time of the operation or come back and have
:23:53. > :23:57.another one when you have finished your treatment. Is everyone offered
:23:58. > :24:03.it? It should be discussed with everybody but not everybody wants
:24:03. > :24:08.it. Some women do not want another operation and someone may not be
:24:08. > :24:18.suitable if they are not well. It should be discussed with most women.
:24:18. > :24:19.
:24:20. > :24:24.Good news, lovely to see you. APPLAUSE Now, back to Christmas.
:24:24. > :24:34.Over to Alex. We'll have a sherry at Christmas time but don't you
:24:34. > :24:35.
:24:36. > :24:41.find that it is difficult to take I love taking photos at Christmas.
:24:41. > :24:45.If you head for the right places you can be spoilt for choice.
:24:45. > :24:53.Christmas and cathedrals=choristers come and hear that Ripon Cathedral
:24:53. > :24:58.I am hoping to take my first bested screen saver. -- festive screen
:24:58. > :25:02.saver. One of the best things about taking photographs in here is this
:25:02. > :25:07.fantastic soft light. I don't want to spoil any of my portraits by
:25:07. > :25:10.blasting them with flash. What you can do instead is to open the
:25:10. > :25:15.aperture to letting as much light as possible and hopefully it will
:25:15. > :25:18.give us great portrait. The group shot nicely captured the atmosphere
:25:19. > :25:23.of the choristers and the cathedral but nothing says Christmas quite
:25:23. > :25:28.like a portrait of a choir boy performing a solo. Photographing
:25:28. > :25:32.children can be tricky. I have asked James to sing Once In Royal
:25:32. > :25:37.David's City. I am hoping the concentration required will help me
:25:37. > :25:42.get a nice, natural shot. The good portraits are all about personality,
:25:42. > :25:47.a glint in the eye for a cheeky grin. I love this one, grabbed just
:25:47. > :25:53.after he stopped singing. But my first screensaver nomination, I am
:25:53. > :25:58.going to go for this. I reckon it would grace any Christmas card. And
:25:58. > :26:01.so would these fellows. Definitely the way to travel. Reindeer are
:26:01. > :26:05.normally found in a more northerly parts than Yorkshire, so the snow
:26:05. > :26:10.is fake, I am afraid, made by a machine. But the reindeer are
:26:10. > :26:14.really enough. Becky and Richard bought them as an unusual wedding
:26:14. > :26:22.present for each other. initially went for one each and now
:26:22. > :26:28.we have 11. What are their names? That is Neville. Neville! We don't
:26:28. > :26:32.have a Dancer. Certainly not Rudolf. A certain amount of improvisation
:26:32. > :26:37.is required to get animals to co- operate with photos, much like
:26:37. > :26:41.small children. On a dull day like this it brings out lighten their
:26:41. > :26:45.rise, I'm using the flash. The rules for reindeer portraits are
:26:45. > :26:50.not much different from those for children. Use a simple background
:26:50. > :26:54.and keep their eyes in focus. I am fond of this quirky, unusual pose,
:26:54. > :27:03.but this one of a fine beast wearing its antlers proudly is my
:27:03. > :27:09.second nomination for a Christmas For my final location I am at
:27:09. > :27:13.Fountains Abbey, near Ripon. I have come at night because each
:27:13. > :27:17.Christmas the Abbey is eliminated with a spectacular multi-coloured
:27:17. > :27:27.display of floodlighting. I'm pretty confident of going home with
:27:27. > :27:30.a great photographic screensaver. The trick with my time photography
:27:30. > :27:35.with this is to leave the shutter open as long as you can. But you've
:27:35. > :27:40.got to keep the camera still. It is so dark that any hand-held stuff is
:27:40. > :27:44.going to be wobbly. An essential piece of kit is a tripod. With a
:27:44. > :27:48.long exposure shots, it is very dark. If you just introduced a
:27:48. > :27:51.torch and get somebody to run around, they will literally paint a
:27:51. > :27:57.streak of light across the photograph. It can be fun to play
:27:57. > :28:04.with. You never quite know how it is going to turn out. This gorgeous
:28:04. > :28:09.shot of the multi-coloured submarium -- solarium is my choice
:28:09. > :28:16.for the third Christmas screensaver, to joint the reindeer portrait and
:28:16. > :28:22.the angelic choir. Happy Christmas! You have something Christmassy to
:28:22. > :28:27.show us? If I had brought you both a present. A chocolate penguin.
:28:27. > :28:30.are doing well, jumpers and penguins. Bad news about the
:28:30. > :28:36.jumpers, she has been on the phone and she says she wants them back.
:28:36. > :28:40.Well, a great advert. And I brought you a Christmas card. A nice
:28:40. > :28:49.picture of me and my wife. I have written, to everybody at The One
:28:49. > :28:57.Show, lots of love and kisses. Thank you very much. Is that our
:28:57. > :29:03.first official Christmas card from a guest? Put it up! We did
:29:03. > :29:12.personalised Christmas cards yesterday. You are bang on trend.
:29:12. > :29:16.Thank you very much. On trend? All right! Nitin Ganatra will be
:29:16. > :29:22.joining shortly to talk about the big Christmas plot on EastEnders.
:29:22. > :29:27.You were in one of the Christmas episodes? A in 2003. I was marrying
:29:27. > :29:34.Kat and Alfie. Shall we have a look? Yes please! Have you seen it
:29:35. > :29:43.since? No. Sit down the. Here is the deal, in less than 10 hours I
:29:43. > :29:47.need you to marry me. I'm all ready married. No, I mean you need to
:29:47. > :29:52.marry me to somebody else. A bird? A of course. Don't you need a
:29:52. > :30:02.bigger? We need a registrar. But if they don't turn up, I need a last-
:30:02. > :30:03.
:30:03. > :30:09.minute replacement. That is you. This hurts when he hit you? I was
:30:09. > :30:15.in the Queen Vic, and I sat and watched myself in EastEnders.
:30:15. > :30:21.you will be able to do! Look here is here! You were at university
:30:21. > :30:31.together? We were. He was a few years ahead of me. One! About 20
:30:31. > :30:33.
:30:33. > :30:38.years... I only look a few years David was in EastEnders in 2003.
:30:38. > :30:48.You will be in it this year. Come on, what is going on? Tell us about
:30:48. > :30:49.
:30:49. > :30:56.the plot. OK, think Jack Bauer, in a postman's outfit. That is it. You
:30:56. > :31:01.said on the phone to the producer, we can't talk too much about it.
:31:01. > :31:06.You are allowed to say some things. They said, don't worry, we will let
:31:06. > :31:12.the cat out of the bag. Because Christmas Day is such a big day, it
:31:12. > :31:16.is always a bit sensationalist. The thing about this year is that it
:31:16. > :31:24.builds, every episode builds up to Christmas Eve. Then just when you
:31:24. > :31:30.relax, there is another twist. is going to happen? Lots of people
:31:30. > :31:33.die, you know her... It's going to be miserable. EastEnders at
:31:33. > :31:37.Christmas is always so depressing. I remember when Arthur Fowler
:31:37. > :31:42.smashed up the Christmas tree. As if Christmas wasn't bad enough as
:31:42. > :31:52.it is, people on TV are having a worse time. Let's have a look at a
:31:52. > :31:55.
:31:56. > :32:05.Merry Christmas! You can't throw me out, it's Christmas Day! Christmas
:32:06. > :32:12.
:32:12. > :32:18.is cancelled! Jingle bells, jingle Get out of my house! I never want
:32:18. > :32:23.to see your face again! Divorce was what you wanted, it is exactly what
:32:24. > :32:33.you're going to get. Where are you going to go? Some way you can't
:32:34. > :32:38.
:32:38. > :32:43.Another very happy Christmas in Albert Square. We have the Radio
:32:43. > :32:47.Times here. Apparently, EastEnders is on at 9 o'clock on Christmas Day.
:32:48. > :32:55.It is up against Downton Abbey. you know that? You are up against
:32:55. > :33:00.the big one. What would I do? What would I do... I'll record one.
:33:00. > :33:05.Downton Abbey is a good show. it hasn't got any violence. I don't
:33:05. > :33:10.think I'll ever get cast in Downton Abbey, so I'll go for EastEnders.
:33:10. > :33:14.Where will you be on Christmas Day? I'm going to be on the beach.
:33:14. > :33:18.with a television? I'll be on the beach, not watching EastEnders. I
:33:18. > :33:22.am sure I will get lots of texts. But I am travelling, going with my
:33:22. > :33:27.family. I said to my five-year-old, how do you fancy opening your
:33:27. > :33:34.Christmas presents on the beach? He went, yes. So I am going to be in
:33:34. > :33:41.Mauritius. We have a sneaky preview from tonight EastEnders, one
:33:41. > :33:50.straight after us. Marriage is a joyful union. A union of two hearts.
:33:50. > :33:55.Two bodies. Two minds. Two spirits. And two families. Entwined forever
:33:55. > :34:00.in that the service of Allah. getting very heavy at the moment.
:34:00. > :34:05.It is very action-packed this year. It is a big, big build-up. Without
:34:05. > :34:10.giving too much away... Are give some away! Give us something.
:34:10. > :34:15.Masood is trying to find his son, who has been kidnapped. When you
:34:15. > :34:20.Prix record the Christmas episode, in September or whenever, because
:34:21. > :34:26.you are in a Christmas mood, do you have a party afterwards? No, but it
:34:26. > :34:32.feels weird being surrounded by Christmas decorations all day, for
:34:32. > :34:36.three months. We will be filming for summer and spring in January.
:34:36. > :34:41.Take the cameras to the beach with you at Christmas, you will be fine.
:34:41. > :34:45.You are a vegetarian, aren't you? Yes, all my life. You might want to
:34:45. > :34:49.avert your eyes. We have a film about more meat than we have ever
:34:49. > :34:59.had in four minutes before. My mum is going to ring up and say, what
:34:59. > :35:03.
:35:03. > :35:08.Steak and trips, voted the favoured pub meal, even gritted -- beating
:35:08. > :35:12.the British roast. It seems we can't get enough of it. We spent
:35:12. > :35:16.�480 million on it last year. We are forking out less on expensive
:35:16. > :35:21.ones like fillet, but sales of cheaper cuts are on the up. But do
:35:21. > :35:28.we always know our rump steak from our reply? And his fillet always
:35:28. > :35:34.best? -- revise stake. Danny is a 5th generation butchered. He's
:35:34. > :35:38.going to show me what is what when it comes to steak. So, a big bit of
:35:38. > :35:43.animal. Show me where the various cuts come from. What have we got
:35:43. > :35:46.here? The most expensive and tender piece of meat, the filleting
:35:46. > :35:53.alongside the ribcage. Then we have the bumper at the end. This is
:35:53. > :35:59.sirloin. If you were cutting T-bone, you would cut it in that kind of
:35:59. > :36:04.the region. When it comes to buying steak, what should we go for? And
:36:04. > :36:08.does it have to be expensive? you buy the fillet, the most tender,
:36:08. > :36:14.nothing will come close to the tenderness but it will be expensive.
:36:14. > :36:20.The other side of the scale, on a budget? The rump steak is going to
:36:20. > :36:25.be much cheaper. Are you getting a second-rate steak? It's becoming
:36:25. > :36:32.more popular, it can be tender but it is the most flavoursome. This is
:36:32. > :36:36.a sirloin steak? Yes, marbled. that is the fact inside the muscle?
:36:36. > :36:42.It's going to give a lot of juiciness and flavour to it. It
:36:42. > :36:46.really is essential. Right, we have seen how to buy steak. Now we need
:36:46. > :36:51.to see how to cook it. In this restaurant they use a flame grill,
:36:51. > :36:55.with temperatures up to 360 degrees. The secret of cooking a good steak
:36:55. > :36:59.at home is to follow a few simple steps. First, leave it out of the
:36:59. > :37:03.fridge for at least an hour before cooking, something many do not
:37:03. > :37:07.bother doing. People take it straight out of the fridge, stick
:37:07. > :37:12.it on their pan. The core temperature will be cold. Therefore,
:37:12. > :37:19.the way they want to cook it, it will not come out as they desire.
:37:19. > :37:26.So, do you fancy a steak-off? We are cooking one of the cheaper cuts,
:37:26. > :37:29.but also the most delicious, the rump. We are aiming for medium rare,
:37:29. > :37:35.caramelised on the outside, but with a blush of pink on the inside.
:37:35. > :37:39.The chef is cooking his drive. He doesn't like the taste that oil can
:37:39. > :37:47.leave. I am robbing someone to mind to give it a better crust. Plenty
:37:47. > :37:51.of seasoning and eat your pan until it is smoking pot. Can you ruin a
:37:51. > :37:55.good steak through bad cooking? Quite easily. The average medium
:37:55. > :37:58.rare needs about four minutes each side. That changes depend on how
:37:58. > :38:04.you like to eat it and the thickness of the steak. You have
:38:04. > :38:08.that kind of paranoia now. The head chef of one of London's great steak
:38:08. > :38:17.restaurants and you think it is going slightly awry? The pressure
:38:17. > :38:21.is on. Good caramelise Asian. It could be better. And putting myself
:38:21. > :38:29.on the line. I talk about food all the time and now I am cooking some.
:38:29. > :38:34.What if it is awful? They are done. My last tip, it needs to rest for
:38:34. > :38:44.10 to 15 minutes on a warm plate. So, the moment of truth, the result
:38:44. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :38:48.I have to say, for me, that is exactly how it should be. Mice and
:38:48. > :38:53.charred on the outside, gorgeous and pink in the middle. What about
:38:53. > :38:58.mine? Well, given the extra thickness of this, I'm quite happy
:38:58. > :39:08.with that. Quite rare in the middle. Some people might turn their noses
:39:08. > :39:18.
:39:18. > :39:23.And the meat man is here with us now. I've been trying to get that
:39:23. > :39:27.on the air for a long time. Steak, I pitched it every week. Let's go
:39:27. > :39:34.back to Turkey. Is it still really all about eating turkey at
:39:34. > :39:38.Christmas? People eat Bruce, roast beef, but the majority of those
:39:38. > :39:42.still eat turkey. If you get it right, it can be brilliant. Where
:39:42. > :39:50.do you stand on frozen or not? Freezing is a brilliant way of
:39:50. > :39:54.preserving food. If it makes things cheaper, I am not going to turn my
:39:54. > :39:57.nose about it. But please do frosted properly. The greatest
:39:57. > :40:01.number of food poisoning cases at Christmas are because people have
:40:01. > :40:09.not defrosted. If you got a five kilogram bird, defrosted in the
:40:09. > :40:15.fridge. It will take at least two days. Really? Blimey. Otherwise,
:40:15. > :40:21.you might be the next thing in the freezer? Dr Mark Porter might have
:40:21. > :40:26.to come and look at you. We don't want that. A big sprout news?
:40:26. > :40:29.have read once. There are big ones as well, it has been a bumper year.
:40:29. > :40:34.You cannot find these in the supermarkets, but you can find it
:40:34. > :40:39.at a farmers' market. And they look like jingle Bells. It looks like he
:40:39. > :40:44.could do somebody serious damage. We have some vegetarian stuff for
:40:44. > :40:50.Nitin? We do, you eat things that have not required the death of
:40:50. > :40:54.anything. And that doesn't have eyes staring back at me. There is a
:40:54. > :40:59.great vegetarian restaurant in Hammersmith. We have an aubergine
:40:59. > :41:03.schnitzel, with a cream sauce. At the back, a cashew nut roast. It is
:41:03. > :41:07.a bit of a cliche of vegetarian food, but it can be marvellous if
:41:07. > :41:12.it is done well. I like it, it is a novelty for me. Coming from an
:41:12. > :41:17.Indian family, I spend Christmas Day with my in-laws. The one rule
:41:17. > :41:23.is nothing Indian. Really? That is the one day we do not eat anything
:41:23. > :41:33.Indian. Our perception of Western vegetarian food is whatever is
:41:33. > :41:33.
:41:33. > :41:42.planned, which is this. -- bland. What if you're asked to carve it?
:41:42. > :41:46.Alex has a masterclass. We have Paul Kelley, a nice to see
:41:46. > :41:52.you. Like The Generation Game, you are going to show David Howard to
:41:52. > :42:00.carve a turkey. We've got about one minute. Get a nice sharp knife. You
:42:00. > :42:10.are going to cut down the skin, there. Pick it up, on to its front.
:42:10. > :42:10.
:42:11. > :42:15.I designed this way. Broke the world record. I've done that.
:42:15. > :42:22.it back over. And then you get your carving fork. I'm covered in
:42:22. > :42:26.grease! Cut down the breastbone. Write down the middle. You take the
:42:26. > :42:36.whole of that brassed off. You can use your carving fork, just like
:42:36. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:47.that. Peel it back. That takes the I am trying to do it! We have a
:42:47. > :42:54.minute to do it. That is not carving! Not carding! Basically we
:42:54. > :42:58.have the best of, that is the best bit. Chris. Is that it? I want to
:42:58. > :43:05.see slicing. We are doing the Nativity and 30 seconds, don't
:43:05. > :43:10.worry about it. We sliced the best and a lovely slices. Excellent.
:43:10. > :43:14.is that? A round of applause. That was quick. This is your five-minute
:43:14. > :43:19.call, any cast members in today's Nativity, that is basically
:43:19. > :43:23.everybody here, but first, Sister Wendy is going to tell us about two
:43:23. > :43:27.religious paintings on that very subject.
:43:27. > :43:30.The Nativity has been a major subject in Christian art since the
:43:30. > :43:37.4th century. Today, Sister Wendy is going to talk to was about the
:43:37. > :43:40.events leading up to it. The National Gallery has a wide
:43:41. > :43:47.selection of religious paintings and Sister Wendy has chosen two of
:43:47. > :43:51.them which depict important events preceding the Nativity story.
:43:51. > :43:55.Lovely to see you. Lovely to see you two. The Annunciation tells the
:43:55. > :43:59.story of the Archangel Gabriel visiting the Virgin Mary to tell
:43:59. > :44:04.her that she will bear the Son of God. There are many, many
:44:05. > :44:09.depictions of the Annunciation and Denmark more charming than this one.
:44:09. > :44:17.I chose this one because of its deep seriousness. This was the
:44:17. > :44:22.crucial event in human history. It needs to be shown with a depth of -
:44:22. > :44:25.- a depth which only this manages to comp -- manages to convey to us.
:44:25. > :44:31.She is not looking at the Angel. But is almost as though the Angel
:44:31. > :44:36.is not in her mind. What it does the does mean? Her spirit is Sean -
:44:36. > :44:43.- shown in the form of a white dove, not touching her, just shining down
:44:43. > :44:48.upon her. She is experiencing this call from God to undertake this
:44:48. > :44:53.frightening responsibility and the immediate response of this little
:44:53. > :44:58.thing, this child, we are shown her older than she really what I think.
:44:58. > :45:06.Whatever garb once, sometimes the Dove is shown at the top of the
:45:06. > :45:10.picture and you see a small cloud descending on light. The painter
:45:10. > :45:16.does not think that is necessary. When the Dove shines on Mary, with
:45:16. > :45:21.in her womb the foetus becomes alive. She is pregnant. It is such
:45:21. > :45:26.a picture of prayer. The angel is so calm and withdrawn, there is
:45:26. > :45:29.none of this hectic flutter that you seek in any of the an unseen
:45:29. > :45:33.agents. It is a wonderful, profound contemplative painting and the
:45:33. > :45:43.tasks has to accept that this is something of enormous seriousness
:45:43. > :45:47.and importance. Sister Wendy's next choice is a dissertation of the
:45:47. > :45:51.Virgin to St Elizabeth. -- the dissertation. Soon after the
:45:51. > :45:55.Annunciation the Virgin Mary, who was pregnant with Jesus, visited
:45:55. > :46:01.Elizabeth, her elder cousins. Elizabeth was also carrying a child,
:46:01. > :46:03.who would later become John the Baptist. This story is important to
:46:03. > :46:08.Christians at the technology is the special child that Mary was
:46:08. > :46:12.carrying, for one Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting the child in her
:46:12. > :46:17.womb leapt for joy in recognition of the presence of Christ and
:46:17. > :46:23.Elizabeth became filled with the Holy spirit. Elizabeth is kneeling
:46:23. > :46:27.to Jesus. Her unborn baby, St John, leaping in her womb with joy, is
:46:27. > :46:33.telling her this is not a normal pregnancy, this is the pregnancy of
:46:33. > :46:40.God, the sun is so extraordinary that she kneels before a young
:46:40. > :46:45.cousin and Mary, you can see, really is unwilling to accept the
:46:45. > :46:50.homage of her cousin, trying to lift her up. I love the way that
:46:50. > :46:56.this artist, whose name we don't know, has set it in this strange
:46:56. > :47:00.setting, with these weird buildings behind. It looks like a church and
:47:00. > :47:04.they are both enclosed by that church because their respective
:47:04. > :47:09.children are going to found the church. I like it that they were
:47:09. > :47:15.having a little chat inside the tummies together when they saw each
:47:15. > :47:21.other! Yes, a wonderful thing. That is the real visit. The babies. The
:47:21. > :47:27.mothers are incidental. These are the two big events in Mary's life
:47:27. > :47:31.before she actually gave birth to Jesus and we can all see him. The
:47:31. > :47:37.Annunciation, only she saw him in her heart. Here, Elizabeth does not
:47:37. > :47:40.see him but she is aware of him. As Christians we all see him. Thank
:47:40. > :47:48.you so much for showing us your choice of paintings and it is
:47:48. > :47:51.lovely to see you again. Thank you, and lovely to see you two.
:47:51. > :47:55.All right, Sister Wendy, thank you so much for that. Power Nativity
:47:55. > :47:59.this evening is going to be dedicated to you, she is such a
:47:59. > :48:09.special lady. Are you sitting comfortably? Even if you were not,
:48:09. > :48:09.
:48:09. > :48:16.I have to be in. -- I have to begin. The Archangel Alex came down from
:48:16. > :48:20.Strictly heaven to revealed that Mary was with child. But her head
:48:20. > :48:24.was still in the clouds, terrified at the thought of having to dance
:48:24. > :48:30.both as a waltz and the salsa on double elimination night tomorrow
:48:30. > :48:40.on Strictly, BBC One, 6:30pm, don't miss it! Let's hope for some divine
:48:40. > :48:43.
:48:43. > :48:50.inspiration, please. Meanwhile... Mary and her husband Joseph and
:48:50. > :48:57.them entirely authentic donkey were forced to flee their home and seek
:48:57. > :49:00.refuge at the end. But sadly the very grumpy but annoyingly handsome
:49:01. > :49:06.innkeeper heard there have been an EastEnders style Christmas argy-
:49:06. > :49:13.bargy down the road so was currently wearing any strangers and
:49:13. > :49:18.thus... Get out of my pub. Oh, he is grumpy, isn't he could -- kids?
:49:18. > :49:22.But I haven't got the best line, I have warm wind. But to be fed to
:49:22. > :49:27.the innkeeper. But he did redeem himself after he had calmed down by
:49:27. > :49:37.offering to put them up in his stable with all the animals.
:49:37. > :49:38.
:49:38. > :49:45.can't open the stable door! will get used to it. Meanwhile...
:49:45. > :49:49.Far, far away the supposedly three wise men, Dr Mark, who was wides,
:49:49. > :49:54.wildlife Mark, who was quite wise, and The Deep J Rayner, were minding
:49:54. > :49:58.their own business waiting for the late bus, the 207 to Bethlehem. All
:49:58. > :50:06.the sudden they spotted something twinkling, it was a star, very big
:50:06. > :50:16.star. It wasn't ex-England cricket star! It -- he had showed up
:50:16. > :50:16.
:50:16. > :50:22.sportingly to show them the way and they followed. Meanwhile... Back at
:50:22. > :50:25.the stable that innkeeper had got the door opened. Hooray! The angels
:50:25. > :50:30.and the shepherds were gathered around her with all creatures Great
:50:30. > :50:35.and Small. I wonder if that will be repeated this Christmas? For the
:50:35. > :50:39.joys -- the joyous birth of the baby. Alex was not nervous about a
:50:39. > :50:43.double eviction shown tomorrow night. The three wise men had
:50:43. > :50:47.followed their directions and had nailed the stable, bearing gifts of
:50:47. > :50:55.a small fluffy animal, nappy rash cream and some organic mangetout
:50:55. > :51:00.baby food. The innkeeper was not even a grumpy any more. So, what
:51:00. > :51:04.have we learned from this little episode? Well, basically, if you
:51:04. > :51:13.get a bunch of kids to seeing you about it will be OK. Kids, it is
:51:13. > :51:21.overdue. # Away in a manger, no crib for
:51:21. > :51:27.Abed. # But little Lord Jesus laid down
:51:27. > :51:37.his sweet head. # The stars in the bright sky
:51:37. > :51:47.looked down where he lay. # The Little Lord Jesus asleep on
:51:47. > :51:50.The Hague. # The kids have saved us. Happy Christmas, children! Now
:51:50. > :51:54.earlier we met the sailors aboard HMS Ocean as they returned to
:51:55. > :51:58.Plymouth after nearly eight months away from their loved ones. Now, it
:51:58. > :52:03.is time to return for a very special reunion, hankies at the
:52:03. > :52:07.ready. Last night I was given special
:52:07. > :52:13.access to spend the final hours on the Royal Navy's largest ship, HMS
:52:13. > :52:17.Ocean. Alongside hundreds of families I am waiting at Plymouth
:52:17. > :52:20.for the HMS Ocean to return. Now, they have been away for months and
:52:20. > :52:24.in that time they have missed family birthdays, anniversaries and
:52:24. > :52:30.even in some cases their own children being born. Among the
:52:30. > :52:34.crowd is Lauren, with her three daughters, Alice Beer, Mayer and
:52:34. > :52:40.either. What would be the best thing that could happen today?
:52:40. > :52:47.added to come home. Would that be the best, best thing? Yes, because
:52:47. > :52:52.I love Daddy and I miss him very much. Her partner, has only seen
:52:52. > :52:56.the babies at birth. I am looking forward to getting home, seeing
:52:56. > :52:59.Lauren and the children. It has been emotional. It has been a long
:52:59. > :53:04.trip. What we are back -- we are glad to be back, especially for
:53:04. > :53:08.Christmas. Sasha is waiting patiently for her partner, Steve.
:53:08. > :53:12.How you feeling today? Excited. Looking forward to seeing Dad.
:53:12. > :53:17.There will be lots of excited people here today, emotions running
:53:17. > :53:22.high. Everyone will be looking for their family in the crowd. When the
:53:22. > :53:27.gangway comes down, emotions are everyone for everyone -- emotions
:53:27. > :53:37.are everywhere for everyone. As HMS Ocean Docks, Alice Beer spots her
:53:37. > :53:54.
:53:54. > :53:57.dad. Daddy! And within minutes they I can't believe how emotional this
:53:58. > :54:02.is. It is such an amazing atmosphere. I have never
:54:02. > :54:12.experienced anything quite like this. What is it like to be with
:54:12. > :54:21.
:54:21. > :54:26.Superb, superb. These are not made... When wing, hello. My
:54:26. > :54:29.favourite joke. It is lovely to see the family's back together, happy

:55:18. > :55:26.o'clock. Will you still celebrate question I will celebrate on my own,

:55:35. > :55:40.Want For Christmas, which you were recorded on board. Was the right
:55:40. > :55:44.gear? It was my idea but a group effort. I could not have done it
:55:44. > :55:48.without the guys. It has had one million hits on the internet.
:55:48. > :55:54.reached one million this morning, just before the ship came in.

:56:30. > :56:33.Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with your 90 second update. David Cameron has
:56:33. > :56:35.refused to sign a deal to tackle the eurozone crisis. He said it
:56:35. > :56:39.didn't safeguard British interests. Most other EU members appear to
