:00:21. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker... And Alex Jones.
:00:24. > :00:31.Tonight, two burly northern bikers who love nothing better than taking
:00:31. > :00:41.their passion for food on the road. They are also very, very hairy.
:00:41. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:59.is of course Si King and Dave Myers What comes first? Food, motorbikes
:00:59. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:11.or your hair? Everything. There is lots of filling in tonight Show.
:01:11. > :01:14.Also with us tonight: The One Show's street barber, Michael
:01:14. > :01:24.Douglas, will be unleashing his scissors on two hairy fellas in
:01:24. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:31.need of a trim. Are you happy about this? I am not entirely sure.
:01:31. > :01:36.take the ends of. Nothing to worry about. That is all I have left.
:01:36. > :01:40.have not actually got that long. are also going to be talking pies
:01:40. > :01:43.and tucking into a festive one with Si and Dave later on. This has
:01:43. > :01:46.become a familiar sight - a sinister looking mask - worn at
:01:46. > :01:54.anti-capitalist protests around the world. But why do they wear it and
:01:54. > :02:00.what does it mean? Justin Rowlatt has been finding out. From New York
:02:00. > :02:05.to Madrid, to Rome and to London, waves of protesters have come out
:02:05. > :02:11.against politicians and financial institutions the world over. Some
:02:11. > :02:16.protesters have adopted an eerie mask - first worn in 2007. They
:02:16. > :02:23.have since spread throughout the global protest movement. Where does
:02:23. > :02:27.the mask come from and what does it mean? Some of you might recognise
:02:27. > :02:37.this leering face with its moustache, pointy beard and
:02:37. > :02:39.
:02:39. > :02:45.sinister smirk from the 2006 fell, the for Vendetta. This is a masked
:02:45. > :02:50.vigilante and the film's anti-hero. It is my very good honour to meet
:02:51. > :02:54.you. The film tells of a future Britain under a fascist
:02:54. > :03:03.dictatorship. The hero emerges to torment the ruling powers with acts
:03:03. > :03:09.of violent resistance. Perhaps less well known is that the film is
:03:09. > :03:14.based on a 30-year-old comic strip of the same name. It was the
:03:14. > :03:21.brainchild of Alan law and David Lloyd. We produced something that
:03:21. > :03:26.was like a warning against the possibility of a future fascist
:03:26. > :03:31.dictatorship. Both Allen and myself were very concerned about the rise
:03:31. > :03:36.of the far right. We wanted to combine an adventure strip with
:03:36. > :03:45.something was a social warning. a comic strip, he has asocial
:03:45. > :03:53.desire to create a better Britain. It is a vision of 1984 with a brave
:03:53. > :03:59.new world, in which we warned what could happen. Why does the main
:03:59. > :04:05.character wear a mask? I had a brainstorm. We could resurrect the
:04:05. > :04:10.character of Guy Fawkes. He had a mask because he was representing
:04:10. > :04:15.someone other than himself. It was a good way of establishing the
:04:15. > :04:21.revolutionary spirit of the character. The mask was first used
:04:21. > :04:25.by the protest group Anonymous but has since spread to other groups. A
:04:25. > :04:31.lot of people seeing protesters in masks think that those people are
:04:31. > :04:36.trying to hide something. Up we are trying to hide something - our
:04:36. > :04:44.faces. We do not believe in violence. We do not want violence.
:04:44. > :04:48.Anyone who does, they are not part of Anonymous. Today it is worn by
:04:48. > :04:57.some protesters at occupied London. This is the man who designed the
:04:57. > :05:02.mask that you are all wearing. use it for the same reasons. The EC
:05:02. > :05:09.ourselves as freedom fighters. Guy Fawkes was the only man to enter
:05:09. > :05:13.parliament with honest intentions. The mask represents every man.
:05:13. > :05:18.Should you not stand up and identify ourselves so you are
:05:18. > :05:22.personally accountable for what you're arguing? In certain
:05:22. > :05:28.countries, without anonymity, they could not rise up against
:05:28. > :05:33.oppressive regimes. You are not being honest about who you are.
:05:33. > :05:38.From the left side of politics and the right side of politics, we're
:05:38. > :05:43.citizens of openness and transparency. Around 100,000 of
:05:43. > :05:48.these masts are sold every year. Who would imagine and I must
:05:48. > :05:58.vigilante from an obscure comet series would become such a potent
:05:58. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:09.image across the globe? -- comic. Next up, pies. Where did you find
:06:09. > :06:16.the inspiration for 140 different fillings? It is a seminal work. We

:06:51. > :06:58.cranberry and kumquat source on the top. It is a good leftover pie.
:06:58. > :07:05.Where do you stand with the pastry? Short crust or puff pastry?
:07:05. > :07:12.Sometimes a short crust bottom and a puff top was dubbed nothing but
:07:12. > :07:21.eclectic on The Hairy Bikers. and kidney pies come over the bowl.
:07:21. > :07:31.I find puff pastry a bit drive. are eating the wrong puff pastry. -
:07:31. > :07:40.- dry. That is almost a main course and dessert in one. The kumquats
:07:40. > :07:47.take the sweetness off. You have been friends for 20 years. It is
:07:47. > :07:55.like a romance. I knew they would use that. That is what they're like
:07:55. > :08:02.up north. Do you ever had eight if when you are in the kitchen? We'd
:08:02. > :08:09.do not. -- A T F. We are like brothers. We have been on the road
:08:09. > :08:14.for such a long time, we know when to give each other a bit of space.
:08:14. > :08:21.We had a row over mayonnaise. I maintained you do not make
:08:21. > :08:28.mayonnaise with olive oil because some flat is lighter. I go 50%

:08:44. > :08:48.
:08:48. > :08:56.and we realised it was stupid. at this! There are crests
:08:56. > :09:05.everywhere. My dad used to call me, spare A baker. You have got a
:09:05. > :09:12.Christmas special next Tuesday on BBC2. This Christmas Special Return
:09:12. > :09:17.you how to throw a Christmas party. It involves a lot of singing.
:09:17. > :09:27.is it, every time we have a party, we're stuck here cooking in the
:09:27. > :09:35.
:09:35. > :09:45.middle of the night? That is what # walking in at a winter
:09:45. > :09:50.
:09:50. > :09:57.That was lovely. Very nice. Let's talk Christmas. What will you be
:09:57. > :10:07.cooking? It is a bit of a departure. We have tried to ring the changes.
:10:07. > :10:10.
:10:10. > :10:19.I am going to be cooking Dennison. -- week are trying to ring the
:10:19. > :10:26.changes. What about you? My wife is Romanian. They have a big meal on
:10:26. > :10:33.Christmas Eve. We are having pigs trotters. Then I am doing a 20
:10:33. > :10:43.Padang techies. I love the dead traditional bread sauce. Giblets
:10:43. > :10:43.
:10:43. > :10:50.gravy, a proper. I will tell you what, that pie is lovely. The book,
:10:50. > :11:00.Perfect Pies is out now. The next item is filmed at Bamburgh Castle
:11:00. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:07.and it is all about film -- food. Cut yourself a piece of pie. Ruth
:11:07. > :11:13.Goodman has been investigating a culinary mystery. Bamburgh Castle
:11:13. > :11:18.is one of the most spectacular on the North East of England. It was
:11:18. > :11:23.pivotal to British history. Until the 10th century it was one of the
:11:23. > :11:28.key Anglo Saxon strongholds. This was the seat of the kings of
:11:28. > :11:33.Northumbria. They learned stretch from the Cumbria to the Firth of
:11:33. > :11:39.Forth. Here mighty warriors and scheming politicians met.
:11:39. > :11:43.Archaeologists are finding these mighty lords had a very sweet tooth.
:11:43. > :11:50.Today, the oldest part of the castle dates from the twelfth-
:11:50. > :11:54.century. Annual excavation has revealed a fast Anglo Saxon
:11:54. > :11:58.cemetery from the 8th and 9th centuries. The skeletons there were
:11:58. > :12:04.buried here are telling us a lot about the indulgent lifestyles of
:12:04. > :12:12.the Lords who lived at the castle. It tells us about the lifestyle of
:12:12. > :12:22.the Bamba people. What is missing is the teeth. -- Bamber. The teeth
:12:22. > :12:29.on these skulls are riddled with Carrick to -- cavities. There is a
:12:29. > :12:34.big hole. That is a rotten tooth. These badly rotted teeth are not
:12:34. > :12:41.signs of a poor lifestyle. This is caused by a diet high in sugar of
:12:41. > :12:44.which, in Anglo Saxon times, was very unusual. They did not have
:12:44. > :12:51.should there so Hanneke was the sweetener of choice. They were
:12:51. > :13:01.clearly enjoying a very lavish diet. You would not find this in the
:13:01. > :13:05.general Anglo Saxon population. is different from Anglo Saxon
:13:05. > :13:12.peasants. There is a very concentrated amount of cavities
:13:13. > :13:18.will stop this was a very wealthy, very rich poss -- population.
:13:18. > :13:23.were well known across the land. They were the social elite of their
:13:23. > :13:29.day. Partying was a big part of their lives. Contemporary accounts
:13:29. > :13:34.says guests would travel hundreds of miles to a legendary feast.
:13:34. > :13:39.Excavations of the kitchen tip are showing just how splendid the
:13:39. > :13:49.legendary medieval banquets really were. Archaeologists are finding
:13:49. > :13:50.
:13:50. > :13:54.remains of some of the finest foods. This looks fantastic. We used the
:13:54. > :14:02.foodstuff we were finding in the excavation to find out what they
:14:02. > :14:10.were eating. These things, we have wheat grain. Types of bread, brown
:14:10. > :14:15.bread and white bread. Hazelnuts. A lot of seafood. We have lots of
:14:15. > :14:21.beef. The main reason for the back teeth was honey. It was expensive
:14:21. > :14:25.and sometimes used as currency to pay rent. Lots of the most popular
:14:25. > :14:34.dishes contained large quantities of it. Even the equivalent of the
:14:34. > :14:40.bread roll was made with it. This is where the honey comes in.
:14:40. > :14:46.Definitely. They get cavities. going to try a bit of honey cake.
:14:46. > :14:53.That is nice. What really did for their teeth was the mead. It was
:14:53. > :14:58.central to medieval culture. It could contain about half a pint of
:14:58. > :15:05.honey. It is amazing how you could get from dried up remains to a big,
:15:05. > :15:12.luscious diet. It is wonderful. Tasting it for a change. I think
:15:12. > :15:17.you should have some mead. Ruin your teeth. The people who lived at
:15:17. > :15:23.Bamber and their guests were rich, successful, glamourous people. You
:15:23. > :15:33.can imagine them when you are standing here, enjoying a huge
:15:33. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:43.beast. With the most terrible How did you find Bamburgh Castle?
:15:43. > :15:52.know it through Simon because he used to go there as a little boy.
:15:53. > :15:57.We have filmed their back-up of times. It is a special place and
:15:57. > :16:04.most of that family holidays were spent on the beach there. You just
:16:05. > :16:12.get the most amazing views. It is actually quite a quiet place as
:16:12. > :16:18.well. Because it is so beautiful you would think it would be crowded.
:16:18. > :16:24.But it is quite peaceful. It is just fantastic. In winter time and
:16:24. > :16:26.summertime, just spectacular. Best of British series is on
:16:26. > :16:33.weekdays on BBC 2 at the moment, where you visit places all round
:16:33. > :16:41.the UK delving into our culinary past. What is the most surprising
:16:41. > :16:47.thing? Eyed the kit is our love of spices. The only reason that we
:16:47. > :16:52.went to India was to get that spices. We used to have this
:16:52. > :16:58.reputation for being boring Ejaz but we have the most wonderful love
:16:58. > :17:08.now of spices and we are reaping the benefits and we have the most
:17:08. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:18.wonderful, interesting food. As we mentioned earlier, our street
:17:18. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:27.barber Michael Douglas is here to give our hairy bikers a trim. He is
:17:27. > :17:35.ready for you now. It is like going to the dentist!
:17:35. > :17:37.Welcome to the salon. When is the last time you were at one of these?
:17:37. > :17:44.While Michael gets started on them, here's what happened when he took
:17:44. > :17:48.his hair dressing paraphernalia to a Christmas market in Winchester.
:17:48. > :17:54.To a Christmas traditions seem to have sprung up in recent years -
:17:54. > :18:04.ice rinks and German Markets. I have come to Winchester and the
:18:04. > :18:06.
:18:06. > :18:15.market here is expected to get over 300 visitors. I love Christmas!
:18:15. > :18:21.She is pretty good. Do you fancy a haircut? What is it you're doing
:18:21. > :18:27.here? I am a Marshall, I am here just to make sure that everyone is
:18:27. > :18:32.safe. And get the feeling that you're used to skating? I have been
:18:32. > :18:38.doing it since I was about five years old. Where did you get these?
:18:38. > :18:43.The internet! I would just give you belittle trim. You used to be a
:18:43. > :18:53.champion? I was in the British championships and I did win it one
:18:53. > :19:17.
:19:17. > :19:27.year. Right, almost finished. Take This is ed from the world famous
:19:27. > :19:35.
:19:35. > :19:42.Winchester choir. We could be called Gentlemen of the choir.
:19:42. > :19:49.that be your favourite Christmas Song? Hark, the Herald Angels sing.
:19:49. > :19:55.What kind of hair cut can you get away with? Among he can? I do not
:19:55. > :19:58.know if that would be allowed. does Christmas hold for you? I will
:19:58. > :20:04.be singing in the cathedral right up until about 5 o'clock on
:20:04. > :20:14.Christmas Day. I think we're almost finished. The perfect, that is
:20:14. > :20:15.
:20:15. > :20:22.fantastic. Can we take a look? A feast of colour.
:20:22. > :20:31.Time for a bit of relaxing Christmas shopping. This is like a
:20:31. > :20:36.dream come true! Honestly, I am too busy! This is Clare and she has got
:20:36. > :20:44.lovely hair but she does not want it all so we're going to lose it.
:20:44. > :20:54.What kind of things do you sell? sell things that are supposed to
:20:54. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:07.look like Brussels sprouts. Where has this come from?! There you go.
:21:07. > :21:15.Are you ready? I am scared! Take a look. I love it. I was scared but
:21:15. > :21:25.now I love it. Haircuts finished, I'm going to
:21:25. > :21:32.
:21:32. > :21:42.have a go on the ice. Do I go that way? I am going to do that. I think
:21:42. > :21:50.
:21:51. > :22:00.I will leave it to the professionals.
:22:01. > :22:07.
:22:07. > :22:14.What look of we going for? I think it is definitely a Viking look.
:22:14. > :22:24.is very straight at the back. are hairy biker, you cannot have a
:22:24. > :22:25.
:22:25. > :22:35.pony tail if you are a Hairy Bikers. What are you doing here? Much of
:22:35. > :22:45.the same. It's all I have got! the name Hairy Bikers has an irony
:22:45. > :22:50.
:22:50. > :22:59.for you? Yes, I developed alopecia up when I was young. I developed
:22:59. > :23:09.proper hair when I was 40. But when I was 14 I had no hair or eyelashes.
:23:09. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:17.Just like a big embryo! It was not a good look at the time. Are you
:23:17. > :23:27.worried about losing it again? really. What was left, I just shade
:23:27. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:39.it. You knew me for years as a bald man. He had a full beard but no
:23:39. > :23:48.hair! You could lose yours in solidarity and become the balding
:23:48. > :23:58.bikers. One hairdresser is said to me, you have terrible split ends.
:23:58. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:01.But now all I would kill for a split end! If you have a hairy
:24:01. > :24:06.friend that needs veterinary care, the costs can mount up to thousands.
:24:06. > :24:08.So taking out pet insurance could be a sensible option. The pet
:24:09. > :24:13.insurance market is volatile, with a few big names pulling out over
:24:13. > :24:23.the last few years. The latest to leave pet owners barking mad is
:24:23. > :24:28.
:24:28. > :24:33.Halifax, as Lucy Siegle explains. We absolutely love pets in this
:24:33. > :24:38.country. Half of all households have either a cat or dog. They may
:24:38. > :24:42.look adorable but that is a huge amount of money we are walking out
:24:42. > :24:47.in bills. And these are expensive times to get treatment for Sick
:24:47. > :24:53.animals. These are on the up which means the only way to access to
:24:53. > :24:56.affordable treatment is to take out pet insurance. According to the
:24:56. > :25:00.British Veterinary Association it is the sensible thing to do, but
:25:00. > :25:04.more of us are choosing not to have insurance in order to save money.
:25:04. > :25:08.But for those who still want pet insurance, it is becoming harder
:25:08. > :25:15.and the options available are not always clear. And in some cases
:25:15. > :25:21.they are disappearing altogether. Linda's Dalmatian is nine years old.
:25:21. > :25:27.He has had Halifax Insurance since he was three years old. His
:25:27. > :25:32.premiums are higher because he is a pedigree. He has had two operations
:25:32. > :25:38.in the past year which cost a massive �2,300. However the full
:25:38. > :25:41.amount was picked up by the insurance company. But not any more.
:25:41. > :25:46.Jake was covered by the same policy for years and it was renewed
:25:46. > :25:50.annually. He was healthy when it started but even when he got ill he
:25:50. > :25:55.was still covered under the terms. However this year Halifax announced
:25:55. > :26:02.it was pulling out of the pet insurance market altogether and the
:26:02. > :26:08.policy was withdrawn. This left Jake high and stride.
:26:08. > :26:12.What did you understand by that policy? I understood that he would
:26:12. > :26:16.be covered for everything and anything and for the period of his
:26:16. > :26:21.lifetime. They have just dropped just like a stone and it is
:26:21. > :26:29.disgusting. Halifax is not doing anything wrong by withdrawing the
:26:29. > :26:36.policy but Linda now cannot get new cover for the baddest -- bladder
:26:36. > :26:41.stones as companies will not cover for pre-existing conditions. If he
:26:41. > :26:46.needs another operation we do not know what we will do. It is
:26:46. > :26:49.devastating. Owners have lost their cover are up in arms and an online
:26:49. > :26:54.petition has been signed by hundreds of people. Halifax told us
:26:54. > :26:58.that it was clear in a document that the policy was an annual one.
:26:58. > :27:03.They say their share of the market is small but they are sorry for any
:27:03. > :27:06.inconvenience caused. The bank made the decision to pull out to
:27:06. > :27:11.concentrate on their core Markets and they did not take the decision
:27:11. > :27:15.lightly. All pet owners could face tough times as the market is
:27:15. > :27:21.changing. This expert says that underwriters have also pulled out
:27:21. > :27:29.because it is too hard to make a profit. Why do you think those big
:27:29. > :27:37.players have had to retreat? It is not like the other insurance
:27:37. > :27:42.Markets. Mostly the claims are low- volume. So the insurance companies
:27:42. > :27:49.do not want to lose out but does it not mean that many consumers will
:27:49. > :27:54.lose out? Many will find themselves without the same cover as before.
:27:54. > :27:58.It will not be quite so comprehensive. With confusion and
:27:58. > :28:03.higher prices, it you need to make sure you get the right cover. If
:28:03. > :28:09.you cannot get that then the best bet is to start saving for a rainy
:28:09. > :28:14.day as soon as you get your pet. I wonder how much it costs to
:28:14. > :28:17.insure this Jack Russell? Uggi, the skateboarding dog from America,
