Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker... | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
A big thanks to the people of Northern Ireland for making our | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
Great people, great weather and it's fair to say we enjoyed the food. | :00:24. | :00:38. | |
Our guests would have loved to have been their eating and enjoying the | :00:39. | :00:54. | |
local legacies. Please welcome Nadiya Hussain | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
and Rosemary Shrager! Nice to see you. You should have | :00:57. | :01:08. | |
been with us in Northern Ireland. I love Northern Ireland. It's lovely. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Where have you been, Nadiya? We were in Crete. My husband said, you | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
cannot cook for seven days. You are not allowed near the kitchen. I | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
lasted two days. They were in the swimming pool, I deliberately coaxed | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
them in early. I said, we are just go to go for a walk. I came back | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
with garlic, onions and tomatoes. So you were self catering, initially? | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
Mine was filming in Thailand. Really? Just got back. A bit of jet | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
lag, but OK. And speaking of family, you have your lovely grandchildren? | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
I have! Hello. Are you grandma? Has she been cooking for you? What was | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
the best thing she made for you? The potatoes. What is the secret? They | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
love my potatoes. But, parsley, gorgeous things. They just love it. | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
Toss them in the pan, keep them going. They love them. Nice to have | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
you with us. In 15 minutes or so, Anita Rani will | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
give us an insight into part two of her documentary on the partition of | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
India and her journey of discovery. Now how many of you watched | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
the Premier League get off Or put your feet up to catch up | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
on a boxset or the latest The question is - how | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
many of you were actually paying If, like millions of | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
others you weren't, Open the door! From blockbuster | :02:51. | :03:02. | |
movies... Two Premier League football matches. Pay-per-view TV | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
has never been more popular. But do you always have to pay to watch what | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
you want? Well, not according to the 7 million or so people in the UK | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
illegally streaming the latest films, video and sport online, using | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
one of these. Set-top boxes like this, sold by many major retailers, | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
are perfectly legal. It is the way you use them that might not be. | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
These boxes are running media sharing software that you download | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
from the internet. This one is called Kodi and is one of the most | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
popular. At this point, you have done nothing wrong, you can watch | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Netflix, iPlayer, Amazon, all completely legal. It is when you set | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
up some of the add-ons that allow you to stream pirated video content | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
that you are straying into troubled waters. I'm not going to preach to | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
you. Even I have thought about buying one of these boxes. I think | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
we all know at least one person that has want to watch the football or | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the latest movies. But do I really want to take the risk? It used to be | :04:12. | :04:20. | |
the sellers of boxes preloaded with illegal apps that got into trouble. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Now the law is closing in on those that use them. The government passed | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
a new law in April under the digital, the act and it was a real | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
game changer. Now if you are using a set-top box to access stuff you | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
should be paying for, you could face a 10-year stretch at her majesties | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
pleasure. Ten years for watching Game of Thrones! I mean, it's | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
good... But it's not that good! Last month, the Premier League was | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
awarded a High Court blocking order requiring UK internet service | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
providers to stop people from accessing illegally streamed | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
matches. Anybody caught watching would be cut off. But what are the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
chances people will actually get prosecuted? Alice works for the | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
Federation Against Copyright Theft, which is coordinating a crackdown. I | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
understand why you are doing this. I work in the creative industry. But | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
aren't you being heavy-handed? Are you going to send people to jail? It | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
used to be a grey area. But the law is now very black and white. It is a | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
crime and it is illegal. The last 12 months have been significant for us. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
We have been making real headway. We had our first prosecution of a man | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
selling the devices and he is imprisoned for four years. Companies | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
like Amazon, eBay and, most recently, Facebook, now ban the sale | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
of any device that facilitates access to illegal streaming. It is | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
this enough to stop people doing it? Would you use one of these? I have | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
in the past. What do you watch? Movies, that kind of stuff. Sport. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Mostly sport. There are so many different ways to stream, every time | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
they crack down on it they will find a way around it. Do you think it is | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
a good idea? It's a good idea, you can get loads of films. Until you | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
get caught. Until I see somebody getting ten years for this, I'm | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
going to do it. If users are not worried about the consequences, | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
should we be looking for other solutions? That is the view of this | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
man, who campaigns against strict copyright laws. Until now, content | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
providers have wanted to block things down, small services. Come | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
and buy my service. Consumers wanted freedom. That is what these set-top | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
boxes provide. Just because the content is online, doesn't mean they | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
have to give it away for free. Don't they deserve to get paid? They | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
absolutely deserve to get paid. The way to do that is innovation, not | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
prosecution. That will get them the revenue that they want. Back to the | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
question, would I take the risk? It is a no from me. I wouldn't eat in a | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
restaurant and not pay my bill, I wouldn't watch a football match and | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
not pay for my ticket. You might not agree with it, but it is against the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
law. Although they haven't prosecuted any viewers yet, the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
safest way to go is switching off the illegal stream. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Rory is here now. We heard that no user has been prosecuted yet. But is | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
it going to happen soon? As we are hearing, people are going to have to | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
be made an example of? This is what we are worried about. They passed | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the law in April saying people selling a fully loaded boxes could | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
get knocked two years in jail but ten years in jail. Also the people | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
using the boxes could fall foul of that. They are increasing their | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
ability to prosecute people. The next logical step is for consumers | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
to get caught in that. At the moment, it is difficult to identify | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
who is watching at home. But you are never totally anonymous on the | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
internet, are you? When they prosecute people selling the boxes, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
then you could get swept up in that. If they have records of who has | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
bought the boxes, they have your name, your credit card details or | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
your address, suddenly you are a witness and potentially implicit in | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
the crime. That would be if the boxes were fully loaded? Absolutely. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Service providers are trying to help. Lots of people have bought the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
boxes in order to watch the football over the weekend and then some | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
people will have been disappointed because they couldn't watch the | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
football. What happened? It was breaking News, wasn't it? We had | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
breaking news today that the Premier League are working very closely with | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
internet service providers to stop streams of Premier League football | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
matches. Over the weekend, they blocked 600 individual streams that | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
were broadcasting these matches. A load of people with the boxes would | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
have been quite disappointed when they found out they could not access | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
their favourite match. The Premier League are working on that. People | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
like Amazon, eBay, they are stopping people from selling fully loaded | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
boxes on their website. So, there is a massive crackdown happening right | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
now and it is only going to get bigger and bigger. There are some | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
concerns about the safety of them? There was a raid not too long ago | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
and they looked at the boxes they seized and found out there was a | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
risk of fire, electrocution and also hacking. You open yourself up to all | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
sorts of things like identity theft, it is a dodgy world. As if a ?10,000 | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
fine or ten years in jail isn't enough, your house goes on fire. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
What is your signature dish? State, I make the second-best stake in the | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
world. As long as you have a TV licence, | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
you can watch their brand-new show tomorrow on the BC two. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
I have taste the food of many chefs, but family cooking, this is where | :09:56. | :10:07. | |
real food comes from. Home cooking does something that fine dining does | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
not. It creates heart within the home. She's eating ingredients! | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
Bringing the family together. These families make ordinary food | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
extraordinary. Delicious. I learned something today. The judges have | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
made a decision. APPLAUSE We are excited about this one. Give | :10:26. | :10:37. | |
us the lowdown on The Big Family Cooking Showdown. 12 episodes, 16 | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
families, 120 recipes. Tomorrow night, BBC Two? In a nutshell, what | :10:42. | :10:50. | |
is the series? OK, well, I would say it is about family cooking. It's | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
about family home life. Also, it is showing us what they can do, the | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
techniques. For me, it is about the relationship between the families, | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
how much enjoyment they get in cooking together. Also, the fact is, | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
the diversity of British food. These people are British, we have them | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
from all over the world. Swedish, everywhere, Italian. You name it, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
we've got it. It was fantastic. So we learned an awful lot. We have a | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
journey ourselves. Giorgio and I, it was hysterical. We had to look up | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
some of the stuff. We had to ask Nadiya quite a few things, the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Indian lot, because we didn't know some of the spices. We know quite a | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
lot, but you don't know everything, believe me. It's about the family, | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
going to their homes. Three family members? Three family members. The | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
differences it is a competition, but probably the least competitive | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
competition. Everybody wants everybody to do really well. On each | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
side, there are three members in each team and they are comprised of | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
grandparents, children, Mum and dad. That is what is lovely. It is so | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
different. Everybody is talking together, what have you brought | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
along? I think it's very amusing, who is the boss of the kitchen? Who | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
is the pot washer, who is the boss? They do the dishes at the end? They | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
have to be organised and clean, or they wouldn't get it done. Some were | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
so messy. Are their people doing rounds? At the beginning they have | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
the ?10 challenge, they had a budget of ?10. It's about cooking in a | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
budget. In the first episode, we go to their homes. When it is family | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
cooking, you want to see them cooking at home. You can be nosy? I | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
checked everybody's bathroom, it says a lot about them, everybody's | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
downstairs loo. And then you come back and they are cooking again. | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
That's the thing, we go through the families. This is the first | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
challenge. The three challengers for the first lot, then say this family | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
is going to the next round. It is quite a long haul. But you've got to | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
stick with it. You've got to invest some time. It's worth it because it | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
is such fun. Giorgio is such fun to work with. Here's as bonkers as me. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
I get nervous in front of him. He's one of the most famous pasta chefs | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
in the world. He is absolutely brilliant. In the first episode, | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
they were doing Italian food, quite scary. Tell us about tomorrow | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
night's families. We've got them in the audience. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
Betty, you ended up as the boss of your family. Was that your idea? It | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
came quite naturally, actually. Somebody has to keep these two in | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
check. She has a tendency to wander off. What relation is Jean? My mum, | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
and Dan is my husband. You ended up cooking pasta for one of the best | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
pasta chefs in the world. Whose plan was that? Well, we didn't actually | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
know that we were going to be cooking for Giorgio. It was funny! | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
Slightly nerve-racking. Then we have Mark's family. You are the boss, | :14:38. | :14:50. | |
aren't you? Who are you talking to? You! I wouldn't say so! You are the | :14:51. | :15:01. | |
oldest contestant. Who is the youngest? They are 15. You are the | :15:02. | :15:13. | |
boss in life, in general? Well, that's different. We love Torun | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
already. We wish you all of the best. We haven't long to wait. | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
That begins at eight o'clock on BBC Two. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
This week marks the 70th anniversary of Independence of India after 200 | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
This partition led to the mass migration of millions of people and | :15:33. | :15:47. | |
causing violence. One of our viewers got in touch | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
to tell us of their incredible viewpoint as a key moment | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
in history unfolded. 70 years ago, 90-year-old Neville | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
Ramsey climbed a war memorial to witness a seismic moment in history, | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
the independence and partition of India. Fortunately for us he took | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
his camera with him. And today for the first time in 70 years, his | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
photographs will be seeing the light of day here at Glasgow 's iconic | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
city Chambers. This newsreel footage from the 15th of August 1947 shows | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
huge crowds in Delhi watching the Indian flag being raised near the | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
India gate Memorial. But capturing a very different view was 21-year-old | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Neville who was there when Lord Mountbatten ended the British Raj. | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
Neville e-mails the One Show and today I'm meeting him up close. This | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
was Mountbatten and his escort, they were heading to a field in which | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
there were drawn up lines of Indian Navy Army and air force, and | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Mountbatten was to carry out a guard of honour inspection. Before he got | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
there the crowd was living through the ranks so he never dismounted | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
from his courage, and the inspection never took place. This is an amazing | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
snapshot in history, what were you doing in India? The RAF had trained | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
me to be a mechanic. I was asked if I would be involved with a fly-past | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
for the celebration. My job was to make sure all of the necessary | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
equipment was at the top of the India Gate memorial to communicate | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
with the aircraft. Were you aware of the significance? The full | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
significance didn't fully latch on until afterwards. Indian | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
independence was the result of a powerful movement led by Mahatma | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Gandhi to end British rule. When it finally came in 1947 and the country | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
was partitioned into two self-governing states. Hindu | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
majority India, and Muslim majority west and east Pakistan, which later | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
became Bangladesh. The result was the biggest ever mass migration in | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
history with 10 million people forced to leave their homeland based | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
on their religion. These men share different perspectives of what the | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
new borders meant. We were on the eastern India, part of Bengal. | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
Everyone was elated because they took part in the independence | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
movement, you see. You were in Punjab which became Pakistan and | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
your family stayed because you were Muslim? Yes, I remember on the night | :18:51. | :19:02. | |
at one minute past 12, the radio fellow announced, this is radio | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Pakistan. The first time! Your mum and dad were in Delhi. My dad worked | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
for the Railway union and being a Communist this was total anathema to | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
him that people were split among religious lines. Neville's | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
photographs are of historic document. Tonight a selection of his | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
favourites are going on public display, including the moment the | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
top of India Gate when Neville and his colleagues were waiting for the | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Independence Day celebrations to begin. I think it's marvellous. | :19:40. | :19:51. | |
Joining our guests to experience independents first-hand are those | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
who have heard the stories, including Neville's family. I'm | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
fascinated that looking at the photographs that some of my | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
relatives could have been there. That's right. It has been something | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
my dad has talked about frequently. It's not until later in life that he | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
realised what a big day it was for many people. Today talking to people | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
from India who were present, these are documents which should be | :20:24. | :20:24. | |
preserved. Thanks to Neville Ramsey | :20:25. | :20:25. | |
for getting in touch. If you've captured | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
history like Neville and have a story to tell, get | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
in touch with us and you never know, Anita joins us now to tell | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
us her own families story which has been made into two fascinating | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
documentaries on BBC One, The last episode went out last | :20:45. | :20:54. | |
Wednesday. It was brilliantly received, it is a truly amazing | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
documentary. As well as your story, you tell the story of three other | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
people and they make up the first episode. Tell us a bit about those | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
families. It is such a huge and horrific moment in history that no | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
one really knows about so it's important we are talking about it | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
now, the 70th anniversary, and we thought how do we tell this for a | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
big BBC One audience. There were four key players, Muslims, Sikhs | :21:24. | :21:33. | |
come him does and British colonial. Quite simply we have got someone | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
representing all four of those including my own story, the Sikh | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
story, to retrace what happened in their lives. You say in that first | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
episode that a lot of it was news to you and you discovered it through | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
Who Do You Think You Are. Where do you pick up from what you learnt? | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
You are right, I got an overwhelming reaction from across the broad, | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
people in Britain saying we had no idea, how is it we don't know about | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
this period of history? Specifically and most tragically British Asian | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
kids saying vaguely heard granny saying something but we don't know | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
so it's important now that the World War II generation who have never | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
spoken about this are finally hopefully be able to talk about it. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
While the sad legacies of partition as someone of Indian heritage and | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
who works in television, it is difficult for me to get a visa to | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
work in Pakistan and vice versa, so I didn't get to go to Pakistan to | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
see where my grandfather's first family lived. That was unfinished | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
business service Wednesday you will see me and my mother become the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
first members of our family ever to set foot in Lahore in Pakistan. It | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
was an amazing experience, particularly to have my mother there | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
as well. We are driving through the villages of Punjab in Pakistan to | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
see where my grandfather lived. That is not my grandfather, that is a | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
gentleman who lived through what happened in 1947 and he talks about | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
how Lahore burned. This was the capital city of this great state | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Punjab, where 50% of Muslims, 50% were Hindus and Sikhs and at the | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
point of partition it was on fire. Neighbours were killing neighbours, | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
friends had turned on friends. It was horrific, the worst violence and | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
tragedy you can imagine so it's been a very emotional and moving | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
experience. And it's only 70 years, not that long ago, and so tough for | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
your mum because it was your dad you were talking about. You left her at | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
one point because you felt it too much for her to do the whole thing | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
with you, so what did you discover after you left your mum and went on | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
to do the rest of the story? This film covers so many different | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
stories, there's a lot of hard in this programme. There is hope but my | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
story is tragic. My grandfather lost his entire family, his father, first | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
wife and children didn't make it out alive. I wanted to know what | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
happened as far as I can know it, how did they die? And I discover | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
what happened and I go to the place where they were killed. I don't | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
think my mum could have coped with it. This was her father's family. | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
You will see this on Wednesday, it is an incredibly moving and | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
emotional, powerful experience for me to discover what happened in | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
detail. Nadiya, you were talking about your grandmother in | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
Bangladesh. How much do you know about what went on and how much is a | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
family do you talk about it? As British Asians, like you say it is | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
something you know of, you hear about it through family members and | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
my grandma has strong memories. My mum talks about the aftermath of | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
what happened and she remembers stories of hiding in bushes in the | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
swamps with her eight-month-old brother. She remembers those stories | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
but I don't know how much of that is her memory or what her mother has | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
told her. My only surviving grandmother now tells us the | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
stories. It is not recorded in history like most other... It's like | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
there was a collective silence because it was such a huge trauma | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
that took place, it's like nobody has been able to talk about it. The | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
important thing for me is that this is crucially British history, | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
because we are here and it is part of our history. Also it was the | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
point when Britain left India that this happened. It is very well | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
documented through the two programmes. You can see this at | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
Wednesday at nine o'clock on BBC One. Thank you. | :25:59. | :26:00. | |
Now it's over to Nadiya's new friend Christine Walkden, who's | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
finding out about a service that gives green-fingered | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
Just how far are you prepared to go to make sure your tomatoes are | :26:05. | :26:16. | |
healthy while you are on holiday? Would you be prepared for example to | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
hire a tomato sitter, to make sure your crops are blooming when you | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
come back? That is now an option. I need to be honest, I'm suspicious of | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
tomato sitting. I get leaving your kids or pets with sitters but your | :26:34. | :26:42. | |
veggies? So I'm meeting three people involved in the tomato game. This is | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
the boss... Tomato sitters, are you serious? We also do people's | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
greenhouses, flowers, deadheading. Why do you think there is a demand | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
for the service? People are anxious about leaving their houses and | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
gardens because there is more of an interest in having pretty gardens | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
and growing their own vegetables. Any disasters? We had a sitter who | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
assiduously watered this plant for two weeks and it wasn't a real | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
plans, it was fake! The evidence suggests there is a market for plant | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
sitters with a recent poll revealing 45% of gardeners would be willing to | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
pay for the service. At nearly 50 quid a day for your house-sitter to | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
attend your veggies, is it really worth it? Time to meet the customer. | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
It is expensive but the house is secure, it is looked after and the | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
garden is beautifully kept. Don't you get nervous? No, we have no | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
neighbours so it is important to have someone to care for everything | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
while we are way and they keep in touch by text or e-mail to let me | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
know everything is OK. So you have a holiday and they have a holiday? | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
Yes, they have a holiday too. But what if you come home to find the | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
veggie sitter has massacred your tomatoes? OK, it's time I met the | :28:19. | :28:25. | |
sitter. How long have you been doing this job? About five years. Do you | :28:26. | :28:35. | |
enjoy it? I do indeed. What are the big challenges? In April we had a | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
cold snap and we were looking after tomato plants in the greenhouse, | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
about four inches high. I nearly took them to bed with me I was so | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
worried about it. So you take the job very seriously? Of course. How | :28:51. | :29:00. | |
far would you to go to satisfy an owner? If they requested you to sing | :29:01. | :29:08. | |
to the plants, would you do it? Yes. Can you sing? No! My opinion has | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
ripened. The Big Family Cooking Showdown | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
starts tomorrow night Tomorrow, actor and director | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
Stanley Tucci is here. | :29:20. | :29:23. |
