0:00:15 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22And Michelle Ackerley.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Now if I were to compare tonight's guest to a kind of food I'd say
0:00:25 > 0:00:27a pineapple would be pretty close.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Surprisingly sweet on the inside but cased in a rather spikey exterior.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31It's Gordon Ramsay!s
0:00:31 > 0:00:39APPLAUSE
0:00:40 > 0:00:46With a new hairdo that is very appropriate.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Talking of pineapples, you've been very vocal
0:00:48 > 0:00:51about your hatred for them on pizza, especially when your fans send
0:00:51 > 0:00:54you photographs of their Hawaiian feasts I believe?
0:00:54 > 0:01:03Who puts pineapple on a pizza?I like a bit of pineapple on a pizza
0:01:03 > 0:01:05with some ham.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Obviously the big news today is the plan to dramatically cut back
0:01:08 > 0:01:09on our use of plastic products.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13What's your take on that?
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Really important move. 25 years, I think it should be fast tracked. I
0:01:18 > 0:01:23swim a lot in the ocean and we spend a lot of time in the ocean at
0:01:23 > 0:01:29Christmas and even with a wet suit on, plastic bottles, it is a shame.
0:01:29 > 0:01:37Let's see if we can fast-track it. It is packaging on certain foods,
0:01:37 > 0:01:46this coming out from the supermarkets. Plastic coconuts.I
0:01:46 > 0:01:53know you want to feel a product, make sure it is tangible, and why,
0:01:53 > 0:01:59it isn't breathing properly. Crazy. We want to hear from viewers at home
0:01:59 > 0:02:03to tell us what you're doing to cut back on plastic and if you have any
0:02:03 > 0:02:05tips, let us know.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07First here's our our own anti-plastic warrior
0:02:07 > 0:02:10with her take on today's news.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15If this is a tipping point in the story of how we saved our seas and
0:02:15 > 0:02:19countryside from ourselves, it has been a long time coming. Since I
0:02:19 > 0:02:24joined The one Show in 2007 I have done my best to give a voice to
0:02:24 > 0:02:29people and organisations trying to change our behaviour and force
0:02:29 > 0:02:36politicians to take a lead. Each spend £470 a year on packaging we
0:02:36 > 0:02:40don't want ask for. Liley 400 beaches revealed nearly 2000 pieces
0:02:40 > 0:02:47of litter for every kilometre survey.That is around 800 earbud is
0:02:47 > 0:02:51in there.It hasn't always been easy. In the end it was a nesting
0:02:51 > 0:02:54albatross and the baby whale that focused everyone on an issue that
0:02:54 > 0:03:01often rises up the political agenda, but rarely stays there.Plastic has
0:03:01 > 0:03:05become an integral part of our daily lives. But every year, 8 million
0:03:05 > 0:03:13tonnes of it ends up in the ocean. And there, it can be lethal.On the
0:03:13 > 0:03:16day the Prime Minister went to a west London wetland Park and
0:03:16 > 0:03:21revealed she put up an owl nesting box, we asked the public how the
0:03:21 > 0:03:26attitudes have changed to help the environment.I have decided
0:03:26 > 0:03:32consciously, not to buy a 5p bike so I'm carrying my items to work.I
0:03:32 > 0:03:35always take a back like this and something like this which folds up
0:03:35 > 0:03:42and I can put in anything so I don't need a plastic bag.I just put my
0:03:42 > 0:03:50drink in a plastic cup.I try and buy from the market because they
0:03:50 > 0:03:53don't try and decorate the product and give me the product.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Supermarkets spend more money on packaging.Milk comes in plastic
0:03:58 > 0:04:02containers and it used to be in glass bottles. We wish it was in
0:04:02 > 0:04:07glass bottles again.The government said it would extend the 5p plastic
0:04:07 > 0:04:13bag charge to all shops and avoid all avoidable plastic waste.We have
0:04:13 > 0:04:18created the chaos, if you like, but now we need to solve it.Not doing
0:04:18 > 0:04:22down the plastics issue but there are larger issues people in this
0:04:22 > 0:04:30country need to face rather than worrying about plastic bags.By
0:04:30 > 0:04:352042I hope they have eradicated plastic. I will be long pushing up
0:04:35 > 0:04:36daisies, so
0:04:36 > 0:04:43you have plenty of time.2042 seems like a long time, Lucy?Especially
0:04:43 > 0:04:47when you think about the amount of plastic that will be prorated in the
0:04:47 > 0:04:50interim. But we know the plastic that has been created is still
0:04:50 > 0:04:55pretty much in existence, because we have very poor recycling rates for a
0:04:55 > 0:05:01number of reasons. If you think by 2042, by my calculations, because
0:05:01 > 0:05:06plastic production is set to increase, we could be looking at an
0:05:06 > 0:05:11extra 19 billion tonnes globally. Yes, we absolutely need to act now.
0:05:11 > 0:05:19A lot of good feeling Abeid green today, it is the first time since
0:05:19 > 0:05:242000 2003 British Prime Minister has given an environmental speech on
0:05:24 > 0:05:27domestic environmental policy in this way. But people are saying
0:05:27 > 0:05:31there is no legislation underpinning it and no targets we need to stick
0:05:31 > 0:05:35to. My theory is we will have to break up with plastic ourselves on
0:05:35 > 0:05:39an individual basis to get things going. The string bag, we had the
0:05:39 > 0:05:45lady in the clip say, always take it with you. Very, very easy. The few
0:05:45 > 0:05:48things we absolutely need to make sure we substitute immediately.
0:05:48 > 0:05:57Cotton buds, switch. Make sure you are not buying the one with the
0:05:57 > 0:06:00plastic, but they are cotton ones. Some supermarkets have already
0:06:00 > 0:06:05switched, which is good. The Scottish Government said it is
0:06:05 > 0:06:10launching a consultation which will hopefully lead to a policy change.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We have banned micro beads a lot of cosmetic products and that is coming
0:06:13 > 0:06:22into effect in the early summer.The options are the paper ones?Yes,
0:06:22 > 0:06:28there is a substitution. It makes it crazy we do this stuff. Plastic
0:06:28 > 0:06:34cups, they have plastic lids, we use something like 2.6 billion a year.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38It is crazy. We need to substitute these immediately. One of the great
0:06:38 > 0:06:44ways of doing this is with one you can reuse and wash easily. We saw
0:06:44 > 0:06:48the Environment Secretary holding one of these the other day.That
0:06:48 > 0:06:52will be tricky, it has become a culture to be wandering around with
0:06:52 > 0:06:57one of those cubs in your hand. We're not saying you cannot have a
0:06:57 > 0:07:04beverage, but just carry one of these.It is not easy is it.I carry
0:07:04 > 0:07:09one in my handbag, it is easy.It isn't easy.Would you struggle with
0:07:09 > 0:07:16that, Gordon?You would make it work.It is not that easy, that is
0:07:16 > 0:07:25what I am trying to say.What is the impact of not doing that.Stay in
0:07:25 > 0:07:31the coffee shop, drink it and then leave.Slowdown everyone.Another
0:07:31 > 0:07:36thing, maybe have your water in the establishment as well because we are
0:07:36 > 0:07:42getting through 38.5 million of these every day.Every day?Yes,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47something like a million on the planet every second being discarded.
0:07:47 > 0:07:54On the one Show, we are switching to these.It has happened for about a
0:07:54 > 0:08:01year. Everyone in The Office has them.We have to do these things.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Straws, talk about egregious. Most of us don't need a receptacle to get
0:08:06 > 0:08:11from the mouth to the receptacle. This is the biggest overselling of
0:08:11 > 0:08:19anything. Used for 20 minutes on average, let's get rid of them.You
0:08:19 > 0:08:26can get paper ones.Gordon, tell me your establishments are going to
0:08:26 > 0:08:36stop using these straws.Under pressure.Fingers crossed, I love
0:08:36 > 0:08:40the idea of cardboard as opposed to plastic. When you are having a drink
0:08:40 > 0:08:44and it is full of ice and magical excitement in the gas, you need a
0:08:44 > 0:08:52straw.I will help you, you need cardboard.No thank you. OK, I will
0:08:52 > 0:08:57change. We need a commitment from you. Today is about commitments. You
0:08:57 > 0:09:06are worse than my mum.She's going to be after you.OK, I will change.
0:09:06 > 0:09:17APPLAUSE Good night.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23He has actually gone. You might consider taking up a new hobby, try
0:09:23 > 0:09:30and find Gordon Ramsay in the studio.He is back.He went to order
0:09:30 > 0:09:37some paper straws.They are en route.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Now, if you've got some spare time on your hands,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44you might be considering taking up a hobby, something like
0:09:44 > 0:09:45painting or maybe cooking.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48But what about spending time at Her Majesty's pleasure in prison?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Well, people from all different backgrounds are being sought to do
0:09:50 > 0:09:53just that, even if they haven't done anything wrong.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Here's Nick.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I am at HMP Peter Barrett to meet the woman with the keys to the
0:09:57 > 0:10:00prison. But former teacher, Susan isn't the governor.Just coming down
0:10:00 > 0:10:07to do what I normally do, which is being nosy.Susan is part of the
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Independent monitoring board, members of the public who have
0:10:11 > 0:10:16unrestricted access. They can go anywhere they like, any time of day,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19completely unannounced, on their own. They are giving us exclusive
0:10:19 > 0:10:26access to their work. Do you have a panic button on your wrist.I have a
0:10:26 > 0:10:32whistle, but I have never used it. I did carry a rape alarm for well but
0:10:32 > 0:10:37I kept dropping it down the toilet. It is Susan's job to monitor living
0:10:37 > 0:10:44standards in the prison from conditions and drugs.I have a chat
0:10:44 > 0:10:50with the staff about how things are going, get a feel for is this a
0:10:50 > 0:10:54constructive place for them to spend their time.The prisoners are free
0:10:54 > 0:11:00to speak to Susan at any point.How are you today.Susan spent 20 years
0:11:00 > 0:11:07as a French and German teacher before Rich Rowe in -- retiring. Can
0:11:07 > 0:11:12you understand how some people might see you as a do-gooder?Absolutely,
0:11:12 > 0:11:17but I don't think we are. We're not on the side of the prisoner, it is
0:11:17 > 0:11:21just whether they are treated fairly, not whether they have sky TV
0:11:21 > 0:11:25or lots of fluffy cushions on the bed.Like the prison service as a
0:11:25 > 0:11:30whole, there has been a rising tide of violence in this prison with
0:11:30 > 0:11:36assaults on staff and prisoners at record levels.One of the things we
0:11:36 > 0:11:42are expected to report on is the food. Do you try the food? Yes, I
0:11:42 > 0:11:48might try some of these wedges.That is my first taste of prison food.
0:11:48 > 0:11:54Not bad. In her nine years with the IMB, she has reported on population,
0:11:54 > 0:11:59poor living conditions, drugs and inexperienced staff.She becomes our
0:11:59 > 0:12:04voice, we give our problems and she goes directly to the management of
0:12:04 > 0:12:08the department we need. They come straight back to us.If I see
0:12:08 > 0:12:14something that should absolutely not be happening and it is a serious
0:12:14 > 0:12:18issue, I could go straight to the Secretary of State.Susan has never
0:12:18 > 0:12:23had to go right to the top and although IMB can push the change,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27they have no authority over the prison system. Does it frustrate you
0:12:27 > 0:12:33you only have the power to advise? That is our job, we are there to
0:12:33 > 0:12:36monitor, tell the prison what we have seen and we think it is worth
0:12:36 > 0:12:41raising. And then we see how long it takes them to act on it.You still
0:12:41 > 0:12:44think there is a point to do what you are doing?I think we are like a
0:12:44 > 0:12:50conscience.But the IMB have come in for criticism over a lack of
0:12:50 > 0:12:57diversity in their recruitment. Last year, three prisoners were killed by
0:12:57 > 0:13:07other inmates so we looked at the IMB reports. The IMB report from
0:13:07 > 0:13:10long-lasting in lustre should fail to mention an incident where one
0:13:10 > 0:13:15prisoner killed another in their cell. The IMB said the incident was
0:13:15 > 0:13:19excluded because they had no direct experience of it that the time and
0:13:19 > 0:13:23to avoid prejudicing ongoing investigations. But we found depths
0:13:23 > 0:13:28under investigations at other prisons that were referenced in
0:13:28 > 0:13:32their reports. Does this inconsistency highlight another lack
0:13:32 > 0:13:36of credibility they have been criticised for? I am eating their
0:13:36 > 0:13:44national chair. Their lot is criticism about IMB, what powers do
0:13:44 > 0:13:52they have?Nobody has any powers and the IMB is like the canary in the
0:13:52 > 0:13:58mine and they are telling you when things might going wrong. As a
0:13:58 > 0:14:01consequence, cutting staff and as a consequence of drugs getting into
0:14:01 > 0:14:04prisons, prisons are less safe and less likely to rehabilitate
0:14:04 > 0:14:10prisoners than they were.Will you take any steps to ensure IMB members
0:14:10 > 0:14:17will reflect the diversity of the prison population?Diversity is
0:14:17 > 0:14:20something we had to look at. But you don't have to have walked the same
0:14:20 > 0:14:23road to know whether the conditions and treatment people are being held
0:14:23 > 0:14:30in our right and proper.It is good to feel I came in that day and I
0:14:30 > 0:14:34went home and I actually had done something that was valuable.It
0:14:34 > 0:14:38sounds like you are the empathy gland of the prison system.We can
0:14:38 > 0:14:44be yes, but we're not suckers.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Such a fascinating take on that.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49And if you're interested in volunteering and becoming an IMB,
0:14:49 > 0:14:50the details are on our website.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Theoneshow@bbc.co.uk.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Gordon, you did a show based in Brixton Prison where you taught
0:14:54 > 0:14:55inmates how to cook.
0:14:55 > 0:15:02How did you find life behind bars?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05That culture inside, they need to lead that something tangible so when
0:15:05 > 0:15:11they go back into society they have something to hang onto. Then their
0:15:11 > 0:15:14reoffending becomes very limited. I wish we had that focus group in
0:15:14 > 0:15:21restaurants.Behind the scenes to see what's going on?Great insight,
0:15:21 > 0:15:26you want these guys and girls to be more educated. Before they come back
0:15:26 > 0:15:34home. It is important.I was reading you would get people to come into
0:15:34 > 0:15:38your restaurants and cause hassle so you can see how your staff react?
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Yes, mystery shoppers, from knocking over glasses of wine and sending
0:15:42 > 0:15:46feedback when there is nothing wrong with it, to seek what the reaction
0:15:46 > 0:15:52was. I am a big advocate because you get it instantly, within a minute
0:15:52 > 0:15:59back. Last Friday we closed a restaurant round daily-macro down
0:15:59 > 0:16:03for a weeks and we had mystery shoppers in their and that is a
0:16:03 > 0:16:09three Michelin star standard. This year we celebrate 20 years.Amazing.
0:16:09 > 0:16:17You are on a mission to teach the nation how to eat healthily?
0:16:19 > 0:16:25And now you're teaching the nation how to eat healthily?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Yes, but it isn't all about diet, it is just about eating healthily,
0:16:30 > 0:16:37cutting back on being a little smarter with the portions.There are
0:16:37 > 0:16:41three categories, you can go quite extreme with the fitness side of it,
0:16:41 > 0:16:48or leaner food.I was cranky and overweight, and chefs have the worst
0:16:48 > 0:16:51eating habits because we graze all day long, so the idea was to cut
0:16:51 > 0:16:54back a little on the dairy, little more protein and be more smarter
0:16:54 > 0:17:01with the dressings and cream substitute, and be more fragrant
0:17:01 > 0:17:08with herbs and spices, and then just being smart.It is hard when you are
0:17:08 > 0:17:12eating out, you want to look at the menu and choose loads of different
0:17:12 > 0:17:18things, so what would your tip speed to help people eat healthily?Going
0:17:18 > 0:17:27out is a treat, so you have to enjoy that. I changed from flat the
0:17:27 > 0:17:34sparkling -- flat water to sparkling, it helps to fill you up.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I have a snack in the afternoon before dinner, and share a couple of
0:17:38 > 0:17:46items, share a starter or
0:17:46 > 0:18:00items, share a starter or dessert. Share a dessert?! .Yes, why not. I
0:18:00 > 0:18:03was unfit, and I was overweight, and I started getting fit and running
0:18:03 > 0:18:10marathons, and it helps you feel better.And you are very good at
0:18:10 > 0:18:19treating people back. We have got a few.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21When one asked, "What do you think of my flatmate's meal?"
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You replied, "Look for a new flatmate."
0:18:23 > 0:18:25And when another tweeted, "How's my dinner looking, Mr Ramsay?"
0:18:25 > 0:18:32You tweeted back, "Congratulations, I've never seen eggs that dry."
0:18:32 > 0:18:34No mention of the pineapple!
0:18:34 > 0:18:37And finally, this fan who asked, "What do you think, mate?"
0:18:37 > 0:18:42Your three word reply - "I feel sick!"
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What do you reckon to my lunch - spag bol with pasta shells?
0:18:50 > 0:18:56Are you a fan of pasta shells? Taylor Black plastic ones! We are
0:18:56 > 0:19:00cutting back on the plastic!
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, my dogs loved it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:14They didn't actually eating it, they just looked lovingly at it! It was
0:19:14 > 0:19:18very tasty.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Now, we want your help.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Part of the huge Robin Hood Gardens estate in east London
0:19:21 > 0:19:24is currently being demolished, but the Victoria and Albert museum
0:19:24 > 0:19:32is going to be taking away a section of it to form part of an exhibition.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It's now considered a significant piece of British
0:19:35 > 0:19:36architectural history.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39We'd love to speak to people who've lived in Robin Hood
0:19:39 > 0:19:40Gardens at any stage.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43So if you have any memories or photos you'd like to share
0:19:43 > 0:19:44with us, please get in touch.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Now, over the past week Mike has covered many miles
0:19:46 > 0:19:48on his deep sea adventure.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51In a moment we'll be catching up with him on dry land, but first
0:19:51 > 0:19:57let's see how his journey ended.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Over the past few weeks, I've travelled more than 1500 miles
0:20:04 > 0:20:10aboard the Celtic Explorer, a research vessel on a complex survey
0:20:10 > 0:20:14of marine life to write British and Irish waters. I have had some
0:20:14 > 0:20:20extraordinary encounters with rarely filmed marine mammals, including a
0:20:20 > 0:20:32close encounter with
0:20:32 > 0:20:38close encounter with minke whales. But my time is running out, so my
0:20:38 > 0:20:44chances of coming across a real ocean monster is slim. Sensing an
0:20:44 > 0:20:53easy meal, began its turn up. These specialist divers have reinforced
0:20:53 > 0:21:01next to prevent damage as they tear into the water at more than 60 mph.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04They are just dropping like arrows, they fold their wings and go into
0:21:04 > 0:21:09the water. I have seen it before, but never this number going in at
0:21:09 > 0:21:16the same time. It is a feeding frenzy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21frenzy. Then as quickly as it began, the feast is over. Coming across
0:21:21 > 0:21:29this many is a great side as the surrounding water is productive,
0:21:29 > 0:21:38meaning it is likely there are other predators feeding nearby.
0:21:42 > 0:21:49Then, out of the stillness...
0:21:49 > 0:21:55Look at that for a massive blow! There is the back, and the Finn. A
0:21:55 > 0:21:58blow this high can only be produced by one of the two biggest creatures
0:21:58 > 0:22:07on the planet. The blue whale or it aptly named cousin,
0:22:07 > 0:22:12aptly named cousin, the fin whale. They can grow up to 27 metres in
0:22:12 > 0:22:16length, and weigh 90 tonnes. That's as much as seven double-decker
0:22:16 > 0:22:22buses. Sometimes called the greyhound of the sea, their
0:22:22 > 0:22:33streamlined bodies make them one of the fastest Wales in the ocean.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36the fastest Wales in the ocean. We have seen a leviathan of the oceans,
0:22:36 > 0:22:42the second-biggest animal the planet today, the fin whale, the most
0:22:42 > 0:22:47enormous cherry on top of this incredible expedition. I begin the
0:22:47 > 0:22:50journey home, believing I have seen the best the ocean has to offer, but
0:22:50 > 0:22:56I'm wrong. We have just had an incredibly exciting moment on board
0:22:56 > 0:23:01the ship. I'm standing next to one of the biologists, and we were
0:23:01 > 0:23:05looking out to sea and just caught a very large splash. We ran over to
0:23:05 > 0:23:14see a shark leapt clear of the water from about 150 metres away. He
0:23:14 > 0:23:20managed to get a picture. Have a look at that. Look at the size of
0:23:20 > 0:23:24that fin
0:23:24 > 0:23:29look at that. Look at the size of that fin. This thresher shark's body
0:23:29 > 0:23:32is eight feet long, and the tail the same length again. They are normally
0:23:32 > 0:23:37found in tropical waters, so to see one let alone that one beach in just
0:23:37 > 0:23:43ten miles from the Scottish coast is truly extraordinary. There is a
0:23:43 > 0:23:47wealth of marine life in the seas around Britain and Ireland, and over
0:23:47 > 0:23:54the last three weeks, I've had, doors by riding, Rhys Evans Mac
0:23:54 > 0:24:02Dolphins leaping up into the air, basking sharks meandering past the
0:24:02 > 0:24:08ship, my best ever
0:24:11 > 0:24:14ship, my best ever views of minke whale, and to top it all, the
0:24:14 > 0:24:22majestic fin whale. And all you have to do to see this amazing variety of
0:24:22 > 0:24:28marine life is just go a little bit deeper.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30What a way to end a wonderful trip.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Well, Mike is here, along with Lucy.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Watch out, Gordon!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39What a trip, Mike.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41This wasn't just about a lovely boat ride.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45What did the scientists learn?
0:24:45 > 0:24:54I had an amazing time. The focus of the survey was to look at herring
0:24:54 > 0:25:02and mackerel. They want to manage the stocks of them sustainably for
0:25:02 > 0:25:05people and wildlife, and only when they know what is out there and what
0:25:05 > 0:25:11is under the wave, and manage the fishery levels sustainably so that
0:25:11 > 0:25:14people can enjoy their fish and chips in the future, as the results
0:25:14 > 0:25:21are interesting. They collated all the data. Boarfish, the little fish
0:25:21 > 0:25:26I saw for the first time, levels are good in the North Atlantic, horse
0:25:26 > 0:25:30mackerel, numbers are going up and down, currently very good, but they
0:25:30 > 0:25:35are susceptible to big changes, and herring are lowered the moment but
0:25:35 > 0:25:40good in the North Sea. Because of the service, cod and haddock are now
0:25:40 > 0:25:44considered sustainable, what they are doing is incredibly important
0:25:44 > 0:25:49for future proofing our fisheries for our fish.And results of surveys
0:25:49 > 0:25:53like this one are relevant for EU policy, but recently the Environment
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Secretary Michael Gove is saying that we should reclaim our fishing
0:25:55 > 0:25:57rights.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01So what will the implications be for surveys like this?
0:26:01 > 0:26:05It is the intrusion of other fisheries across Europe. We take a
0:26:05 > 0:26:10lot of flak, but I always say to my chefs, look, we run out, it is fine,
0:26:10 > 0:26:14if you go to a restaurant, and you have run out of something, it is
0:26:14 > 0:26:19fresh, that is a good sign. But it is intrusion from the foreign
0:26:19 > 0:26:28fisheries that are damaging hours. European investors can fish within
0:26:28 > 0:26:32six or 12 nautical miles, and Michael Gove says that we will take
0:26:32 > 0:26:35back control of our territorial waters, but for the first time in 50
0:26:35 > 0:26:40years, it will be on our terms and under our control. But it is
0:26:40 > 0:26:43important that these EU sponsored surveys carry on, because the fish,
0:26:43 > 0:26:50for example, British waters, Irish waters, we have to manage the stocks
0:26:50 > 0:26:55collectively, otherwise they will collapse everywhere.And as you are
0:26:55 > 0:26:59saying, as a chef you have to be receptive, and it is all about
0:26:59 > 0:27:03seasonal eating.And that is a chef's responsibility today, Mick
0:27:03 > 0:27:10make it seasonal. You don't want to eat sea bass or called 12 months a
0:27:10 > 0:27:17year.Root vegetables are the same.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Lucy, it seems to me that it's wildlife
0:27:19 > 0:27:21programmes like Blue Planet, which was the highest-rated
0:27:21 > 0:27:23programme of 2017 by the way, which have a real impact
0:27:23 > 0:27:26on the public, especially when they see such powerful images
0:27:26 > 0:27:31of the damage that plastic is doing.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36It is so important, and it resonates with so many people. However, that
0:27:36 > 0:27:40is a charismatic species, and a lot of the damage that is being done by
0:27:40 > 0:27:45plastic pollution is quite mundane. And we also need to think about, we
0:27:45 > 0:27:49need behavioural change. We can't emotionally get involved in a series
0:27:49 > 0:27:53that comes out once a year, I want us to be talking about this stuff
0:27:53 > 0:27:58all the time. I would like every day to be like today, and I want younger
0:27:58 > 0:28:03voices as well. They are going to inherit some huge environmental
0:28:03 > 0:28:09problems, so what do they think about it?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Lucy, earlier on we asked our viewers to tell us how they're
0:28:12 > 0:28:15doing their bit to cut down on the use of plastic, and we've had
0:28:15 > 0:28:16some interesting ones, haven't we?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Sarah from Dorset, no plastic in the bathroom, soap all the way, she
0:28:19 > 0:28:32makes shampoo bars to wash her hair. Is she still single?Louise says she
0:28:32 > 0:28:45has started using the local milkmen. For what? Sorry!You are so naughty!
0:28:45 > 0:28:55To deliver milk!Not babies.That Israel 70s humour. Courtney wants a
0:28:55 > 0:28:58cut down her use of plastic by using cardboard boxes to carry things
0:28:58 > 0:29:03instead.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07instead.She can use that box for my straws!And Sophie takes a water
0:29:07 > 0:29:11bottle out with her and asks cafes to let her fill it up with water
0:29:11 > 0:29:15instead of buying plastic bottles. I'm sure Gordon's restaurants will
0:29:15 > 0:29:24be receptive to that request as well.Yes, £4.50 per bottle!
0:29:24 > 0:29:26well.Yes, £4.50 per bottle!In the inshore waters, we are seeing so
0:29:26 > 0:29:32much litter, and even further out, still seeing marine litter, fishnet,
0:29:32 > 0:29:38it is astonishing how pervasive this has got.We need to turn the tide on
0:29:38 > 0:29:43plastic, we absolutely have to do it.We will turn the tide!
0:29:43 > 0:29:46People are talking about it, and that is the main thing.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Well, thank you all for your suggestions.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52That's it for tonight's show.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Thanks, Gordon, and good luck with your Ultimate Fit Food book.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Tomorrow night Patrick Kielty's here, and we'll be joined
0:29:57 > 0:29:58by Oscar-winning star Eddie Redmayne.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Have a great night.
