14/12/2012 The One Show

Hello, friends. Welcome to a suitably festive show. Tonight we

have a treat for you. Well, for me, actually. Yes, like a lot of ladies,

Alex is very excited about tonight's guest. Like a lot of

blokes on tonight's show, I'm a tiny bit intimidated! You insult my

queen. You threaten my people with slavery and death. I have chosen my

words carefully. Perhaps you should have done the same. The East is

blasphemy! This is madness! It is the start of 300 and Ps I love you,

That gets better every time. tweeted the fact you were going to

be on the show and straightaway we got the questions about that film,

300. Do you get sick of being asked to do all of the shouts from 300 on

shows like this? Yes. But what is funny is when I did it, we did it

but various different ways. The first couple of times it was...

Madness, this is barter. Then the finished and I said, let me try it

one more. Just for the hell of it. Magners, this is barter!!!. I know,

but I turned around and all the rest of the crew were like this.

The director had said, that was ridiculous. It became quite a

famous line. I have to apologise for our fluffy seeds. They are

wrecking his trousers. Another tweeter was asking why you stopped

supporting St Mirren. I didn't know you support them, have you stopped,

did you ever? I did support them. Why it has happened? I wasn't very

well as a child. My brother was a St Mirren supporter, they were my

local team. But there was just something about Celtic. A powerful

sway. Then one day I thought, I want to be different from my

brother. I jumped over. Plus, my cousin used to go to all of the

Games. You're in Rod Stewart's gang and with Billy Connolly and you sit

together having a good time. No, I didn't know any of them at that

point of road. I was eight years old! I'd say, hello, abroad. He'd

say, Peter, who are you? We found a lovely picture of you and Beckham

from a few weeks ago. It's the first time we've seen Beckham look

more excited to be in the photo than the other person. Did he ask

you for an autograph? He did. I run into him a lot and he asks me for

an autograph every time. It's getting embarrassing. I saw him

last night. What, where? I'm not telling you. I went to the game and

thought, hey, I was here, you might have won, but I turned up, give me

a hold of that. I want to bask in your glory. It's funny because he

won that tournament and you thought it was just mass celebrations. I

went into the back room and he's been standing there foot two hours.

He's taking photos with everybody and their mother. He was kind of

standing there and said, come on in. That's why people love him because

he does that sort of stuff. He is a sweetheart. We like him even more

now. Gerard grew up in Paisley, near Glasgow. Glasgow is one of the

hottest look patients to shoot a movie in right now. The even when

She's been around the block but still knows how to blitz it up.

It's possible she may have had some work done, and she's also

Hollywood's latest star. OK, so why not actually talking about a hot

shot actress, but the City of Glasgow. Because over the past year

or so, some of the world's biggest movie stars have been coming here

to film multi-million-dollar films. So what is it about Glasgow that is

attracting the cream of Hollywood? Taxi! Brad Pitt, Halle Barry and

Scarlett Johansson are just some of the stars who've been filming here

in recent days. One of the big draws for recent Hollywood films is

Glasgow's grid structure, which is similar to many American cities.

George Square was transformed into Philadelphia for this film, which

was shot here last year. And Glasgow act as a double for San

Francisco in Cloud Atlas. The I spoke to the location manager on

some of those films. Describe what Glasgow has to offer. It's a huge

range of locations, and all very accessible. You have a fantastic

city with beautiful architecture, ranging from the modern to the old.

But you also have countryside very close by. And you have parts of the

city that can double up as other places. This was the biggest

production to ever come to the city, involving 700 extras and 300 crew.

This is where the action took place. It is indeed. This was shut down

for how long? Most of the square was closed for about 10 days.

That's quite a while. It is. interested to know what incentive

is there are for the City and the council. Do they get paid? If you

want to film on a particular street, East Street doesn't cost you

anything. But what you need to put into place to be able to film in

that street will cost you money. There has been the odd grumble that

the city that used to be famous for making things is now becoming more

well known for dressing up in other city's clothes. But there's no

doubt it's big business for the local council. Filming in Glasgow

has brought in more than �200 Sunshine on Leith, a musical based

on the songs of the Proclaimers and named after their song about the

Edinburgh port area, is currently being filmed in... You've guessed

it - Glasgow! The film is set in Scotland. Sunshine on Leith, the

clue is in the title. But that is Edinburgh. It is. There are certain

logistical requirements. Sometimes decisions are made purely on the

fact of, OK, wears the most cost- effective and efficient place of

shooting something? And that's Glasgow? It kind of his. What is

the best thing about filming in Glasgow? The energy and enthusiasm.

There's a lot of great people here who work really hard and a top-

class professionals. We get to be a part of that. It's great that so

many productions are coming to Glasgow. It does make you see the

city in a different light. And you can almost imagine that you're on

your own movie set. Drive on. bother. Very clever, that. �200

million for Glasgow, that's good news. You know about Leith, you

used to live there. Yes, I trained as a lawyer in Edinburgh. I lived

down there, it was a down and dirty area with great pubs. Which is why

I never made it as a lawyer. heard the story about the fact it

took a lot of Mondays off. Yes, because of Sunday night in the pubs.

It didn't serve me well, that place. As you talked about it used live

down. You don't drink at all any more, do you? I don't.

Coincidentally, I've never been back! Are you going to Scotland for

Christmas? I am. Watching that, I worked with that director, Mark

Forrester... How many zombies do they need? If you want a bunch of

zombies and you don't want to spend a lot of money on make-up, you go

to Glasgow! Glasgow and Leith, you are very welcome to the show, as

always. No zombies in the new film. It is a comedy drama. I made it

with Jessica Biel and Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta Jones and Dennis

Quaid. I basically play it down on his luck former pro football player,

whose kind of lost it all. Soccer. I played for Celtic, my choice.

Liverpool. And now I kind of don't have much going on. I've gone back

to the town where my ex-wife lives to try and patch things up with my

boy. Who you are still in love with? I am. I end up coaching the

kids' soccer team, which I really don't want to do. I saw through

that straight away. You did? What does that mean? It's all to get the

Do you ever think what it might have been like if I hadn't have

screwed it all up? At the time I wondered. Do you reckon you can

handle this thing? Are you serious? Awesome! Let's not tell your mum

A proper big movie as usual from the man there. Lots of great

actresses in it. I've never been so covered in crap in all of my life.

It's very noticeable on HT. There are some great actresses in the

film and you do get it on with most of them. I try! I do. That's where

a lot of the humour comes in. This is a guy who's actually trying for

coach the team, to be there for his ex-wife. Meanwhile, everywhere he

goes he is being hunted down by a board... It's a nightmare! Single

mums, horny housewives. This is awkward. She's not normally like

this, she normally doesn't care about how handsome they are.

going to have to go to the toilet or something in a minute! Come on!

Do you know you have this effect on women? It's boring because they

always end up going off to the toilet. I'm just left here on my

own. Where would you like to go now? I don't know, whatever is

happening next. Another one, an important woman in your life. Your

mum. She goes everywhere with you, is that her choice for your toys?

She does come around a lot. She's my best buddy. I love hanging out

with her. You only have your mum around for so long. She always

comes on set to visit. Although I had my premiere here and she was,

like, I'm too busy. She was off in Poland, she was visiting hours - at

Auschwitz. A very nice thing do, depressing, instead of coming to

your son's premier. She missed that. She's a great mum. Is she watching

now? I don't know if you see this show in Poland. Is she living in

Poland? No, she's visiting. could have got all that flop.

why would you moved to Poland? can see that film from New Year's

Day. We're going to Jay Rayner next, because we like a man who can plan

ahead. He is already looking towards Boxing Day. Do you plan

ahead? Not really. Yes, I asked the viewers to send me their turkey

left over recipes. I'm warning, there will be an outbreak of turkey

curry. Christmas dinner, turkey with all the trimmings. You've

worked hard to get it done and you think it's all over... But come

Boxing Day they are crying out for more. So when the main event is

done and dusted, just what do you do with a half eaten turkey and

some sad, old vegetables? We asked viewers to come up with the UK's

best turkey leftovers dish. Now it's down to three finalists. Gilda,

from Southend on Sea, Carroll, from Barrington, near Preston, and Chris,

from West Sussex. They need to impress me and fellow judge, chef

Angela grave. What are we looking for today? Something that

invigorates the taste buds. We've been over indulged with the turkey

and all the traditional bits, so perhaps something that takes us

away from that. First, Gilday is a sin and has performed in Las Vegas

and the West End. She just loves Christmas. It Chitty Chitty Bang

Bang comes on the television then I will sing the entire way through

the movie. She is making a Christmas pie. Everything gets

thrown in. There are roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, sprouts, peas,

turkey and stuffing. And home-made cranberry sauce. There is a secret

with that. Yes, I made it with bobcat and orange juice. After this

we put a pastry lid on it and chuck it in the oven? No, it will have a

bottom on it as well. Even the great egos in. She fills her pastry

to the brim with the festive mixture, then it is laid on and the

pie goes into the oven for 45 Carol is giving her leftovers a

Caribbean twist, spicing her turkey with Jamaican curry powder and

adding coconut milk. The smells are pretty full on. Jamaican turkey

curry. This is going into a Jamaican Pattie, similar to a pasty.

How many at your house at Christmas? Last year it was over 20.

We have a nice mixture of Jamaican food and British food. The pastry

is yellow thanks to a teaspoon of turmeric. Once sealed, they go in

the oven for half an hour and they will be served with a pepper pickle

Timeshare salesman Chris lived in Spain for 25 years and his digit is

inspired by his lover of all things Spanish. -- his dish. Explain what

this is. Most people would think it is a potato, but it is a bechamel

sauce with Spanish ham and leftover turkey. Chris waits for the mixture

to cool and then the bite-size nibbles a dip in aid and rolled in

breadcrumbs. What would your Spanish friends may give you doing

it with Turkey? They would say it is very foreign, very UN

traditional. They are deep fried for two minutes until they are

start a tasting. This is the most classic leftovers idea of the lot.

It is Christmas lunch in a pie. is a bit too much of what has been

the day before. All of the tastes of the same. It hasn't moved on.

She made a big thing about putting vodka in the cranberries, but I

can't taste it. I can't, either. Her let's move on to the Jamaican

Turkey Patti. She has used a lot of dark meat. That is good. Something

really different apart from just carry. We make jokes about Turkey

Curry, but this is something more than that. And now Chris. Quite

salty. Really nice coating. Super crunchy and gorgeous. He has

flavoured it really well. Boxing Day party, a plate of these. They

are good. It is time to reveal the winner. We asked you to help solve

the nation's greatest Christmas culinary problem, which is what to

do with turkey leftovers. The winner of the One Show turkey

leftovers cook-off is... Carol. Congratulations. Can I crown you?

There we go. Her combination of Jamaican turkey curry and golden

pastry made her recipe a Christmas We are surrounded by the smell of

curry. Please tell us why she is better than the rest. Car I wanted

to give you something of enormous value, but it is the BBC's say you

have something cheap. Congratulations on winning. You get

the platers well. Christmas Day, you eat yourself to death and you

slip into the sofa. You need something to wake yourself up.

These are waking up. They are bright and fresh. K let's dive in.

The you keep that. There is some curry sauce. Pickled onion

peppers... I'm allergic to carry. don't believe you! We did endless

research into you. There was a deal breaker when we booked to. Tell us

about Christmas Day in your house. I bet it is fun. A lot of fun. I

come from quite a large family and my dad is Jamaican, my mum is

English. We have both types of food. Jamaican and English. Your dad

cooks as well? Yes. If we are having goad, I tell him to make it.

really good. It is really nice. What are you doing on Christmas

that what they are singing is an ancient Welsh tune in disguise. And

one that had nothing to do with Christmas. I've can't to a National

Welsh origins, it is still more about winter festivities than the
