:00:18. > :00:26.Hello, friends, and welcome to your Friday. Just pull out a bit, Camara,
:00:27. > :00:35.a bit wider, wider. Wider. Keep going. Welcome to your Friday one
:00:36. > :00:42.Christmas card show. We have got... Tonight, we are celebrating the joys
:00:43. > :00:46.of Knitmas. Happy Knitmas, everyone, it is National Christmas Jumper Day.
:00:47. > :00:59.His jumper flashes. She is squeaking. SQUEAKING. This morning
:01:00. > :01:03.hundreds of participants tried to break the record for the most people
:01:04. > :01:07.dancing in Christmas jumpers in aid of save the children. We have got
:01:08. > :01:14.our jumpers on and we are meeting festive knitting superstars. High to
:01:15. > :01:21.the knitting people. Hi, Chris, high, Alex. High, -- happy Knitmas.
:01:22. > :01:26.Our guest is an actor who has knitted his whole face for his
:01:27. > :01:34.latest role in The Hobbit. Come on in, Jimmy. Jimmy Nesbitt is here.
:01:35. > :01:45.APPLAUSE Value. That is your dwarf face,
:01:46. > :01:47.Jimmy. What made you pull this face? That was yesterday at Huntingdon
:01:48. > :01:56.racecourse, when my horse Riverside Theatre, named after a theatre
:01:57. > :02:00.northern Ireland, he made a return to racing after being injured with
:02:01. > :02:04.bad ulcers and operation and we did not know what to expect but he won
:02:05. > :02:12.the pita bread chase. Congratulations. It sounded like you
:02:13. > :02:20.are hosting the horse race. Very impressive. What made you pull this
:02:21. > :02:27.face? That was, I always do that! That was in a documentary I have got
:02:28. > :02:32.on ITV on Christmas Day about my New Zealand travel adventure. Looking
:02:33. > :02:36.forward to more Kiwi and Hobbit talking a bit with James Nesbitt. We
:02:37. > :02:41.will also get the secrets behind a three bird roast dinner from master
:02:42. > :02:51.butcher Nigel Lewis. He has a Hobbit there with him! It is all right, OK,
:02:52. > :02:55.this time last week we saw the dramatic pictures captured by One
:02:56. > :02:57.Show cameras of homes breaking up and falling into the sea on the
:02:58. > :03:03.Norfolk coast. David Whiteley has been following the story all week. A
:03:04. > :03:06.week ago it was the plight of Jackie and Steve Connolly that made the
:03:07. > :03:12.headlines when their house was destroyed. Don't get too close, it
:03:13. > :03:19.will be unstable. It has gone. What will we do now? Before the house
:03:20. > :03:25.went over the edge, villagers formed a human chain and rallied to save
:03:26. > :03:28.what they could. We haven't got time to make decisions. Another house
:03:29. > :03:36.went straight over the edge that night and was washed away.
:03:37. > :03:44.In all, five homes in Hemsby were lost in the storm. Pictures of these
:03:45. > :03:47.houses have been seen by people all around the world. What most people
:03:48. > :03:52.probably don't know is that the sand dune actually came to hear, almost
:03:53. > :03:58.30 feet of sand and what is worrying is that more is predicted to go.
:03:59. > :04:02.Many other houses are now real risk of suffering is the same fate. Some
:04:03. > :04:07.residents are worried for their future. What is it like living
:04:08. > :04:10.around here? Scary. It is really frightening. You go to work in the
:04:11. > :04:15.morning and don't want to come home at night. It is frightening to come
:04:16. > :04:20.home. Every night before I go to bed I get my torch out to see if the
:04:21. > :04:24.dunes are still there. On the night of the storm the villagers were busy
:04:25. > :04:29.raising funds to build their own sea defences. They have raised more than
:04:30. > :04:33.?20,000 and all this week they have been busy building barriers. But
:04:34. > :04:37.despite the storm surge the local council says it is still going to
:04:38. > :04:45.wait and see how these defences work before it gives any money to Hemsby.
:04:46. > :04:48.It has been just over a week yet you are carrying on putting down your
:04:49. > :04:53.own sea defences. Is there any point? We are more determined than
:04:54. > :04:58.ever to protect our coastline. It was a one in 60 years surge, a freak
:04:59. > :05:02.one, we could not do much about it. We can do something about general
:05:03. > :05:06.erosion. Several houses are at risk and we need to protect our future. I
:05:07. > :05:11.know you have had support from local people but since the film went out
:05:12. > :05:16.on The One Show a stack of e-mails came in from people who wanted to
:05:17. > :05:21.help and make donations. Fantastic, we have websites, save Hemsby
:05:22. > :05:24.coastline .co .uk, lots of information on there and it is nice
:05:25. > :05:28.to get these lovely comments. After losing their home Jackie and Steve
:05:29. > :05:32.have been living at this holiday Park in Hemsby. It was shut but the
:05:33. > :05:37.owner has reopened it especially for them. High. You never thought you
:05:38. > :05:43.would end up here in this chalet. What is it like being here? It is OK
:05:44. > :05:50.but it is not home. What do you think this says about the people of
:05:51. > :05:54.Hemsby as a community? They all come together, especially that night when
:05:55. > :06:00.it actually happened, they all came together and formed a chain.
:06:01. > :06:05.Everybody has been amazing. Once again, we wish all the best to
:06:06. > :06:09.all those affected by those exceptional circumstances last week.
:06:10. > :06:14.You were in New Zealand for two years making The Hobbit. This drags
:06:15. > :06:19.you into something else which will be on Christmas Day on ITV? I talked
:06:20. > :06:24.enthusiastically about New Zealand, a wonderful, beautiful country with
:06:25. > :06:30.a fantastic culture, great people, great outdoors life. A TV production
:06:31. > :06:36.company said, would you do a documentary about it? I went to
:06:37. > :06:40.places in the North and South Islands and do a whole array of
:06:41. > :06:43.things. It is beautiful. You read loads of interesting people during
:06:44. > :06:49.the documentary but we particularly liked Billy Black, the sheep farmer.
:06:50. > :06:53.He is an amazing guy, he does two great things. This is the first one
:06:54. > :07:06.he does. Pick her up, one, two, three, relax. Right. What is going
:07:07. > :07:11.on there? He hypnotises sheep! He is a rather extraordinary person. I
:07:12. > :07:17.would say longer than a weekend with Billy might be tricky. He is quite
:07:18. > :07:21.mad. It makes it much easier to share the sheep and he has a gift
:07:22. > :07:27.with them and has spent a lifetime with them. He promotes walls. Walt
:07:28. > :07:30.is not as much -- not as much will is being produced and he once to
:07:31. > :07:34.bring it back, not only in New Zealand but throughout the world.
:07:35. > :07:44.Hold that thought because he also does this. Yes. Hold still. Tell us
:07:45. > :07:54.what is going on here? It is something we thought we would try!
:07:55. > :08:07.Will does not -- will is not flammable. You can hold a blowtorch
:08:08. > :08:15.to it. -- wool. Kids, don't try that at home. Wool can keep you cool and
:08:16. > :08:20.warm? It does, it reacts to your own body temperature. I don't know if it
:08:21. > :08:24.actually knows but you can have in extreme cold, wool will keep you
:08:25. > :08:32.warm but it will keep you cool in heat. Your research notes caused a
:08:33. > :08:37.row in Alex's house over breakfast. You are courting a Kiwi. You go to a
:08:38. > :08:44.competition for the best Kiwi girlfriend? Not personally! What are
:08:45. > :08:50.the criteria to win the competition? Quite different to what you might
:08:51. > :08:57.expect. They have to be quite active. They do different stunts. It
:08:58. > :09:02.is not just about the Kiwis. You must be good at playing pool,
:09:03. > :09:08.drinking beer, skinning rabbits and is something alts, all the things I
:09:09. > :09:15.am useless at. The chainsaw of the beer bottle tops. They are fantastic
:09:16. > :09:19.goals. Rub it in! Dig a hole massively! She was going foreign
:09:20. > :09:28.engagement in 2014, for heavens sake. That is on Christmas Day 2pm
:09:29. > :09:33.but a big day for Hobbit fans, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was
:09:34. > :09:36.released. Let's see a bit of Bofur. What do we do now? Hold your breath.
:09:37. > :09:57.Hold my breath! Music macro MUSIC
:09:58. > :10:01.Did you do your own stunts? People thought it was all CGI but
:10:02. > :10:05.because they have so much money they can afford to build incredible sets
:10:06. > :10:11.and we did do a lot of that sequence, it is a really exciting
:10:12. > :10:15.sequence in the film. We did it in our own barrels going down the river
:10:16. > :10:19.in the North Island and that is great, it is not just agrees to
:10:20. > :10:26.green screen commute you do the real thing. We know your character Bofur
:10:27. > :10:32.loves cheese. We have a game for Jimmy now. You can play at home. The
:10:33. > :10:36.book of The Hobbit is filmed -- filled with weird names and Jimmy's
:10:37. > :10:40.character loves cheese, so we call this game Hobbit or to. We will give
:10:41. > :10:46.you three names and you have to decide whether they are names of
:10:47. > :10:50.Hobbit characters or cheeses. If you win, if you are successful, you get
:10:51. > :11:00.to keep the cheese for Christmas. OK. The first one, Gorbadoc, Hobbit
:11:01. > :11:15.or Cheese? What do you think? Cheese. It is actually a Hobbit! Oh
:11:16. > :11:26.dear. The grandfather. The next one, Adelegger Urberger. Cheese. It is a
:11:27. > :11:35.cheese. Cows milk cheese. Number three, Largo, Hobbit or Cheese? La
:11:36. > :11:42.go. I mean, are you sure? I am going to go with Hobbit. It is actually a
:11:43. > :11:50.Hobbit and cheese. A bit unfair on the contestant there. Largo bargains
:11:51. > :11:58.and the cheese, Largo cheese, this cheese is soft, nutty and smooth on
:11:59. > :12:04.the tongue with mushroom notes. That is the last game of Hobbit and
:12:05. > :12:07.cheese! A sad moment. Prince Harry and his team finished their 200 mile
:12:08. > :12:13.Antarctic trek today but you might not know that his Gran once had a
:12:14. > :12:19.snowy adventure all of her own. Not to the South Pole but a small hotel
:12:20. > :12:28.on the A46. I wondered if they had any Bombay mix. Here is Gyles
:12:29. > :12:30.Brandreth with the whole story. In December 1981, Britain suffered
:12:31. > :12:36.one of its worst snowstorms ever recorded. Large parts of the country
:12:37. > :12:41.was snowbound for three weeks with temperatures of -13 Celsius. As
:12:42. > :12:49.people across the country struggled to get home, this pub in old Sodbury
:12:50. > :12:54.in Gloucestershire had more than 100 desperate travellers seeking refuge
:12:55. > :12:59.from the heavy snow. Roberto owned the pub in the 1980s and remembered
:13:00. > :13:07.that night as chaotic. It was very, very cold. A lot of snow. There was
:13:08. > :13:11.no possibility of having people in here. And suddenly you had
:13:12. > :13:16.customers? The only place they could stop was here because they could not
:13:17. > :13:19.go further. A vehicle pulled into the car park with someone else
:13:20. > :13:28.seeking shelter. The gentleman approached me and said, "excuse me,
:13:29. > :13:35.who is in charge?" He said, " her Majesty the Queen is in the car. "
:13:36. > :13:37.The Queen was on her way to Windsor Castle from Gloucestershire. As was
:13:38. > :13:43.the case for most travellers that night the Queen was struggling to
:13:44. > :13:48.make it home. This old poster from the 14th century was the first-ever
:13:49. > :13:54.private residence without prior notice to accommodate the Queen. For
:13:55. > :13:57.Roberto the first challenge was to get her Majesty, Queen of Great
:13:58. > :14:02.Britain and Northern Ireland and other realms and territories, up to
:14:03. > :14:06.her room without being noticed. You brought the Queen here? This is the
:14:07. > :14:12.only place we could get inside the hotel without anybody seeing her. I
:14:13. > :14:17.went up first, her Majesty behind and others behind her. Did she tip
:14:18. > :14:22.you when you got to the door? oh, no, I would not take it. And this is
:14:23. > :14:27.the hotel room where the Queen state. It looks a bit different now.
:14:28. > :14:30.Only the bathroom remains unchanged. Downstairs fellow
:14:31. > :14:33.travellers were tucking into their dinner oblivious of the fact that
:14:34. > :14:41.upstairs fellow royal guest was hidden in here. Eve pollard has been
:14:42. > :14:45.a royal watcher for 40 years. She remembers hearing about the Queen's
:14:46. > :14:50.unusual night. Does the Queen of a stay at a place like this? Mrs
:14:51. > :14:54.Lawton -- nothing like the Queen would normally stay out. Even in the
:14:55. > :14:58.21st century there is a royal progress. When the Queen goes to
:14:59. > :15:04.visit friends and relations she stays at the grandest houses in
:15:05. > :15:09.Britain. This was a big story? It is the stories of dream and fantasy.
:15:10. > :15:13.Roberto had accomplished his mission to accommodate the Queen discreetly
:15:14. > :15:17.in a ?27.80 twin room. He headed down to attend to the rest of the
:15:18. > :15:22.travellers but soon received a royal command. She would like to have a
:15:23. > :15:27.place where she could make phone calls. The only place she could make
:15:28. > :15:31.up like a phone call is my flat. You left her in peace to make a call and
:15:32. > :15:38.what happened? She ordered something. What did she order? A gin
:15:39. > :15:43.and tonic. For Roberto the evening was about to get even more surreal.
:15:44. > :15:47.The bell rang again. He found himself face-to-face with racing
:15:48. > :15:51.driver Jackie Stewart and this time, Princess Ann. They had turned up to
:15:52. > :15:55.visit her mother. You take them at the same fire is dope, you come down
:15:56. > :16:01.to mix the drinks. This is faulty Towers! Not quite, not quite. What
:16:02. > :16:08.was your assistant manager called? Manuel! Exactly. 10:45pm the roads
:16:09. > :16:18.were cleared and after spending seven hours at the Cross hands, the
:16:19. > :16:25.Queen left for Windsor. Did you ever hear again from the Queen? This came
:16:26. > :16:30.from Buckingham Palace. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. It
:16:31. > :16:37.was incredible, to have Her Majesty to stay in the hotel. I won't forget
:16:38. > :16:42.it, it is stuck in my mind for the rest of my life. And so unusual was
:16:43. > :16:46.the event that the Queen herself will probably never forget the time
:16:47. > :16:53.she accepted hospitality here at the Cross Hands public house.
:16:54. > :16:59.Here to prepare a Christmas roast fit for a Queen is a butcher whose
:17:00. > :17:07.produce has graced many a royal table, Nigel Lewis. Nigel is going
:17:08. > :17:10.to show us something that is big news in many supermarkets, the bird
:17:11. > :17:15.in a bed in a bird, the multi-bird roast. Instead of a ready-made
:17:16. > :17:20.version, Nigel is going to show us how to do it. I have taken all the
:17:21. > :17:29.skin off, because you cannot put skin inside skin. We have got free
:17:30. > :17:33.range turkey, duck and pheasant. You have got two versions, lead and
:17:34. > :17:42.breast. They cook at different rates, and a lot of people do not
:17:43. > :17:50.like leg meat. Is this the limit? You can go up to six. What other
:17:51. > :17:55.birds are there? Goose, Partridge. You have stuffed it with a good lump
:17:56. > :18:00.of something. Our famous, free range pork sausage meat, with some fresh
:18:01. > :18:06.onion and herbs. This is all very impressive. What about these? These
:18:07. > :18:12.these special knots? They are, it is like a slipknot, years of practice,
:18:13. > :18:18.really. And presumably this is going to be quite heavy, what would be the
:18:19. > :18:22.cooking time? It is going to weigh about 60 lows, this is quite large,
:18:23. > :18:30.and one I cooked earlier was for three hours. -- six kilos. On the
:18:31. > :18:39.bone, about half an hour per kilo. Are you a multi-bird man? James? It
:18:40. > :18:50.was all going so well! You know what I mean! I have got two daughters! We
:18:51. > :18:56.were talking before, you are cooking at Christmas, and you? No, I am
:18:57. > :19:03.not, my brother-in-law Benjamin is a sensational cook, he is cooking.
:19:04. > :19:08.Nearly done. Done. Cook it with the string and everything? Yes, and then
:19:09. > :19:17.it comes out like that. This is my assistant, my right-hand man in the
:19:18. > :19:27.shop. Does he have a name? Paul! What is going on here? Can you give
:19:28. > :19:32.us tips for carving? Let it rest, take the strain off and then slice
:19:33. > :19:42.it through, but the key is to rest. Secreted Blade? I used a serrated
:19:43. > :19:47.one, but smooth also raided. I used one yesterday, you have got to be
:19:48. > :19:54.careful. Pretty impressive stuff, come on! Now, from a top but you and
:19:55. > :20:00.his little pal Paul, thank you, who has got a name, let's have a look at
:20:01. > :20:09.some of the runners and riders. From the traditional...
:20:10. > :20:18.Good eating! To the not so traditional...
:20:19. > :20:34.As four London Lions discovered, if you want to top the Christmas
:20:35. > :20:43.charts, stick some bells on! -- lads.
:20:44. > :20:46.Stay Another Day was written by Tony Mortimer of boy band East 17, who
:20:47. > :20:51.had already had eight chart hits when this became their first number
:20:52. > :20:56.one in December 1984. But it was written on a summer day in August
:20:57. > :21:00.here in Walthamstow, without a single mention of Christmas, peace
:21:01. > :21:05.honours or mistletoe, although there are a few bells thrown in the mix.
:21:06. > :21:11.-- peace on earth. This is where the band all grew up. Were the other
:21:12. > :21:15.guys in this area, to? Yes, Terry lived in that road, Brian was a bit
:21:16. > :21:21.further up, and on the next road was John, so we was all really close. So
:21:22. > :21:25.you were friends. We were not put together at all, we would have had
:21:26. > :21:32.better people in the band! I probably wouldn't have made it if we
:21:33. > :21:36.was put together! The name came from the postcode of the area, East 17,
:21:37. > :21:42.and I wanted to create an urban act, the equivalent of New Kids On The
:21:43. > :21:48.Block. We thought we could do it, well, we knew we could do it. As a
:21:49. > :21:53.highly ambitious teenager, Tony was inspired by a former East End
:21:54. > :21:57.residents, designer and artist William Morris. He was born in
:21:58. > :22:00.Walthamstow and didn't do too badly for himself. He came from a
:22:01. > :22:05.background, a middle-class background, but issues to be like
:22:06. > :22:10.going into another world. I daydreamed, it was like going back
:22:11. > :22:17.in time. That doesn't sound a normal thing for an East 17 cheered to be
:22:18. > :22:24.doing. You need to daydreamed to be creative. With the release of their
:22:25. > :22:28.first album, called Walthamstow, East 17 became hugely successful
:22:29. > :22:34.with the teen market and established a much publicised rivalry with Take
:22:35. > :22:39.That. It was not overnight, but from because of the year, it was picked
:22:40. > :22:44.up in the morning to absolute mayhem, people banging on the vans
:22:45. > :22:49.and all that. Taking advantage of all the mania, Tony was ordered to
:22:50. > :22:53.come up with a second album. Writing quickly and under pressure, he
:22:54. > :22:58.composed a ballad with a personal theme. It is based primarily on my
:22:59. > :23:04.brother, who committed suicide when I was a lad.
:23:05. > :23:09.# Baby, if you've got to go away. # I don't think I can take the pain.
:23:10. > :23:13.It was just based on that, and it would be very depressing, but I
:23:14. > :23:19.wanted to turn it into a love song, so it had a couple of meanings. What
:23:20. > :23:22.did your parents think? They think it is beautiful. Obviously, the
:23:23. > :23:26.whole thing is upsetting for them, but it is a beautiful song, it is a
:23:27. > :23:31.lovely theme to have, and for that song to be accepted by the public.
:23:32. > :23:37.Quite a vulnerable subject, were you comfortable with that? No, not
:23:38. > :23:43.really, no. It is a strong thing to draw on. When art is that truthful,
:23:44. > :23:46.I think you are offering such a truthful sorry to people, you are
:23:47. > :23:53.seeing it in the song, people relate to it. Released in November 1984, it
:23:54. > :23:59.spent five weeks at number one and was a hit all over Europe. It also
:24:00. > :24:04.won Tony and Ivor Novello award for songwriting. As an artist and a
:24:05. > :24:08.writer, it was a massive moment for me. Can I say that people took me
:24:09. > :24:14.seriously as a songwriter? I think people did, it is a lovely accolades
:24:15. > :24:17.to have. It was a great, life changing song. It's changed
:24:18. > :24:29.everything. We have got our own baby Jesus
:24:30. > :24:34.here! Seriously! It is Christmas jumper day, and we have got some
:24:35. > :24:38.extreme knitters here, the ladies in blue are the Knutty Knitters from
:24:39. > :24:45.Bristol, welcome, ladies. You have knitted this incredible knitivity,
:24:46. > :24:50.haven't you? Very good, I like that, knitivity! Where did the idea
:24:51. > :24:55.come from? I have to say that I copied somebody else's idea, but
:24:56. > :24:59.there's was a lot smaller. We have done it because one of our group,
:25:00. > :25:06.Christine, passed away at Christmas two years ago, and we wanted to do
:25:07. > :25:09.something to raise funds for Saint Peter's Hospice in Bristol, who
:25:10. > :25:15.looked after her in her last days. They did a fantastic job, it is a
:25:16. > :25:21.wonderful place, and we take the knitivity around Bristol on tour,
:25:22. > :25:25.raising money. How long did it take? It took about one year, nine months
:25:26. > :25:29.for the main tableau, and then we have added the Angel, the camel and
:25:30. > :25:35.the donkey. So three more months. We have to say, quickly, happy birthday
:25:36. > :25:40.to Alison as well! We have more knitters here, wishing you happy
:25:41. > :25:45.Knitmas, you are leading the charge for the family that sheep fear! Tell
:25:46. > :25:51.us what is going on with you. Well, I started knitting just making a
:25:52. > :25:56.Christmas card for the family, and then it snowballed from there,
:25:57. > :26:00.everybody wanted a jumper, and I have made 28 now! And all these
:26:01. > :26:05.people are members of your family, and we have the new one, Freddie,
:26:06. > :26:10.two weeks old! You were quite surprised by the publicity, wind
:26:11. > :26:16.you? Yes, when I heard that my Nan was going to be on page three, I did
:26:17. > :26:20.worry! Luckily, it was the Express. Not only have unit for all the
:26:21. > :26:30.members of the family, but you are going to welcome James your family!
:26:31. > :26:43.This James?! Look! Oh, my goodness! How lovely! We have got a baby here!
:26:44. > :26:45.He's not knitted, he's a real baby. Everybody knows that Santa only
:26:46. > :26:49.gives presents to good little boys and girls, and this year he has a
:26:50. > :26:54.new way to find out who has been naughty and nice. Some shopping
:26:55. > :26:58.centres are giving children lie detector tests before they get into
:26:59. > :27:06.Santer's Grotto, we sent Angelika long to find out how it might work.
:27:07. > :27:13.This is my light detector machine, do you love Christmas? Yes. Have you
:27:14. > :27:18.been a good boy? Yes. Are you telling the truth? No! Is there
:27:19. > :27:29.something you would like to tell me? No! Money is over there telling me
:27:30. > :27:34.that you have not... I have been cleaning the front room! I was doing
:27:35. > :27:46.it while she was texting on her phone. Oh, I see! I ate chocolate in
:27:47. > :27:50.bed. And the chocolate has all gone? She still has a secret stash hidden
:27:51. > :27:56.away. Is there anything you have done this year that has been a bit
:27:57. > :28:09.naughty? No... Nothing at all? Nothing at all! The machine is
:28:10. > :28:16.checking on me? It is a bit broken. So why am I wearing the hat? Have a
:28:17. > :28:21.lovely Christmas and make sure you are nice and then you will get a
:28:22. > :28:27.visit from me! Jumper on, please, James, he is part
:28:28. > :28:33.of the family! Thank you for that, that is just about it for tonight.
:28:34. > :28:39.Thanks to Jimmy, The Hobbit is in cinemas now, camera two! And River
:28:40. > :28:43.Deep, Mountain High is on Christmas Day at 2pm. We have a cracking
:28:44. > :28:54.Christmas line-up next week, we will see you then. We want you as Mummy
