0:00:18 > 0:00:21And Matt Baker.

0:00:21 > 0:00:25Our guest tonight is a Mancunian maestro with the midas touch -

0:00:25 > 0:00:28every single album he has released in a career spanning three decades -

0:00:28 > 0:00:31has gone to number one.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35No need for anger, just let's take a look back...

0:00:41 > 0:00:47# I'm a rock and roll star # So Sally can wait

0:00:47 > 0:00:55# She knows it's too late as she's walking on by

0:00:55 > 0:00:59# Little By Little # Gave you everything you ever

0:00:59 > 0:01:01dream. # She fell

0:01:01 > 0:01:11# And I spell #

0:01:16 > 0:01:20He doesn't need an introduction... Here he is anyway... It is Noel

0:01:20 > 0:01:25Gallagher everyone!

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Welcome Noel - congratulations are in order as you have set a UK

0:01:29 > 0:01:34record - you are officially the first artist to score

0:01:34 > 0:01:36ten consecutive number one studio albums.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40Looking at this picture we were trying to decide how you feel here?

0:01:40 > 0:01:49LAUGHTER That is me looking overwhelmed! We

0:01:49 > 0:01:54were not aware of the record until a couple of days before the people

0:01:54 > 0:02:00from the chart company phoned up and asked for a quote. It was ten number

0:02:00 > 0:02:04ones in a row. I don't like to make a big deal out of it but I like to

0:02:04 > 0:02:09make a really big deal out of it! Everything I do at the moment, I get

0:02:09 > 0:02:12people to mention it!Well, I think it is fabulous!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15The final 2018 inductees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

0:02:15 > 0:02:16have just been revealed,

0:02:16 > 0:02:21they include Bon Jovi, The Cars, Dire Straits,

0:02:21 > 0:02:25The Moody Blues and Nina Simone.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27To be eligible the acts must have

0:02:27 > 0:02:30released their first single or album at least 25 years prior to the year

0:02:30 > 0:02:31of nomination.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34We did some maths...

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Definitely Maybe, your debut album with Oasis

0:02:36 > 0:02:44was released in 1994, and will be eligible

0:02:44 > 0:02:46for induction in 2019...

0:02:46 > 0:02:53You might have to reform, would you do it?I would do it...Would you?

0:02:53 > 0:02:58You would have two, to accept it?I guess you would have two, yes.

0:02:58 > 0:03:10That's if you accept it...Would you?I am going to say... No.Well,

0:03:10 > 0:03:14there was a hesitation...Your instincts said yes.Shall we say

0:03:14 > 0:03:22yes? Do it again and I will say yes! Would you reform?Absolutely, I

0:03:22 > 0:03:28would be thrilled!Ready and waiting, you heard it here first!

0:03:28 > 0:03:34You are flying high at the moment, we will be talking more about that

0:03:34 > 0:03:34in a moment.

0:03:34 > 0:03:40What's in a name?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43My name is derived from the Greek word "angelos" meaning

0:03:43 > 0:03:44"messenger of the gods".

0:03:44 > 0:03:47But it's now being used in a whole new way -

0:03:47 > 0:03:47as Kate McIntyre explains.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51It is a situation that is all too familiar for many of us. You are on

0:03:51 > 0:03:54a date or at a party and you feel unsafe, hassled or threatened by

0:03:54 > 0:03:57someone. With Christmas get-togethers in full swing,

0:03:57 > 0:04:01situations like this can come up more often than usual. Have you ever

0:04:01 > 0:04:08been at a work party or you have been on a date or something and felt

0:04:08 > 0:04:11uncomfortable?Yes, sometimes I've had to be rude so I get them to

0:04:11 > 0:04:15understand that I don't want do with them. I just want a nice time on my

0:04:15 > 0:04:22own.Harassment can be something like a comment, up to someone not

0:04:22 > 0:04:26leaving you alone on a night out. When jingle Bells turned to warning

0:04:26 > 0:04:32bells, what can you do? Excuse me, can I speak to Angela?Of course,

0:04:32 > 0:04:37she's out the back. Do you want to see her?I'm not asking for a

0:04:37 > 0:04:43friend, "?Angela is a code word. When the bar staff hear someone

0:04:43 > 0:04:48asking for Angela, they know to help. The scheme started here in

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Lincolnshire, and Hayley came up with the idea.If you are feeling

0:04:51 > 0:04:55uncomfortable and you are feeling vulnerable, you need help or you

0:04:55 > 0:05:00need to get out this situation, you go up to the bar and you say, is

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Angela there? Immediately the bar staff know what you mean, they will

0:05:03 > 0:05:07take you to the staff room or an emergency exit or to the toilets,

0:05:07 > 0:05:16and give you some time to establish what you want to do. Whether it is

0:05:16 > 0:05:18called a friend or get a taxi called for you, or exit the building

0:05:18 > 0:05:22without being seen.Ask for Angela has recently been taken up by bars,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25cafes and pubs nationwide. Places part of the scheme are recognisable

0:05:25 > 0:05:31by these posters. It isn't only women who Have to ask for Angela,

0:05:31 > 0:05:37men use this scheme as well. You've asked for Angela yourself?I was on

0:05:37 > 0:05:43a night out, and a gentleman came and sat next to me, he came along

0:05:43 > 0:05:48and got closer, I walked away. Next minute, his hands are around my

0:05:48 > 0:05:55waist and I felt so uncomfortable, I asked one of the bar staff for

0:05:55 > 0:06:00Angela. The next minute, all of the bar staff were there to pull me out

0:06:00 > 0:06:05away, made sure the guy was away from me. They spoke to him, they

0:06:05 > 0:06:10kept me inside until I felt safe. Is the best thing that you can do.So,

0:06:10 > 0:06:16what do people out on the town tonight think of Ask for Angela?As

0:06:16 > 0:06:21the father of three daughters, it's fantastic to have Angela sat in the

0:06:21 > 0:06:25corner.Would you consciously choose a bar in the scheme? If I was going

0:06:25 > 0:06:30on a date with a stranger, I would. When I heard of it, I thought it was

0:06:30 > 0:06:36amazing.I think it's a benefit.I think it's good that we have that in

0:06:36 > 0:06:41place. I just feel that it's sad to be in place.Worst comes to worst,

0:06:41 > 0:06:46you can ask for help about making a big deal.Uncomfortable situations

0:06:46 > 0:06:50on a night out can never be eradicated completely. But with

0:06:50 > 0:06:54schemes like this, Angels this Christmas could come in the form of

0:06:54 > 0:06:59a friend behind the bar named Angela...

0:06:59 > 0:07:04STUDIO: This came as news to me. I had never heard of it.I hadn't

0:07:04 > 0:07:10heard of it until you told me about it.And your daughter is about aged

0:07:10 > 0:07:1618 now? There she is. All of this stuff will be on the radar for you

0:07:16 > 0:07:24as a dad.It's a good thing. It's open... Imagine, the clubs I would

0:07:24 > 0:07:32go to, there are taxi ranks outside. Imagine jumping the queue? You just

0:07:32 > 0:07:34say, Angela. You get a niqab and go

0:07:34 > 0:07:34suggesting people

0:07:38 > 0:07:42-- you get in a taxi and you go home. I'm not suggesting that people

0:07:42 > 0:07:47do that!Elton John has said that your new album is the happiest thing

0:07:47 > 0:07:57he's ever listen to.And he would no!Was that the intention to make a

0:07:57 > 0:08:01joyous record?I didn't know what I would get out of it going into it, I

0:08:01 > 0:08:06was in the studio but the backing tracks suggested things that were

0:08:06 > 0:08:12quite upbeat and uplifting. It's difficult to achieve in music, to

0:08:12 > 0:08:18get some kind of joy into a song. It is very easy to pick up a guitar and

0:08:18 > 0:08:23watch the news, and write about things going on in the news. It is

0:08:23 > 0:08:26difficult to write about the universal truths of happiness and

0:08:26 > 0:08:30love.Especially in that climate.So it was something that you were

0:08:30 > 0:08:35trying to do? Have you been working on it for a long time to nail that

0:08:35 > 0:08:39concept?No... When I am writing a song I would always try and put some

0:08:39 > 0:08:44kind of hope in it. Even if the song lends itself to being sad, I would

0:08:44 > 0:08:47always try and round it off lyrically with some hope or joy in

0:08:47 > 0:08:59it but it is difficult to do. Happy songs can be slightly banal, and you

0:08:59 > 0:09:05do not do it often. If you could do it all of the time it would be

0:09:05 > 0:09:12great, but... Umm, I managed to do it though!You nailed it!Now, Holy

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Mountain... That is banal!It's one of your favourite pieces of music

0:09:15 > 0:09:21ever?The flip thing is a sample of a record from the 1970s and my

0:09:21 > 0:09:27producer said, what you think of this? -- the flute thing. I said,

0:09:27 > 0:09:31it's possibly the most annoying thing I've ever heard in my entire

0:09:31 > 0:09:35life... It's going to be a hit! He said, will we get a song out of it

0:09:35 > 0:09:42written what I said, if it hits me! Let's have a listen?Please do!

0:09:42 > 0:09:50# She fell, she fell # Right under my spell

0:09:50 > 0:10:00# She danced right into my hands # Come on!

0:10:00 > 0:10:04# If you feel the need # I said you've got to sing to me

0:10:04 > 0:10:06#

0:10:13 > 0:10:17It is an earworm. You mentioned your producer, and how you built this

0:10:17 > 0:10:22record was different to what you've done in the past. Different to being

0:10:22 > 0:10:26alongside them in the studio...What I've done in my career, I will sit

0:10:26 > 0:10:33at home for a year before I write a record, I go to the studio and we

0:10:33 > 0:10:37pick out the best songs. That's where you go, you aim for it and do

0:10:37 > 0:10:42your best. My producer, David Holmes, hello, David, wherever you

0:10:42 > 0:10:48are... In Northern Ireland. He said, let's write it in the studio. The

0:10:48 > 0:10:52main difference was whenever I did anything is starting to remotely

0:10:52 > 0:10:57sound like a Oasis, he said, you've done all of that. Let's try

0:10:57 > 0:11:05something more annoying! And it ended up sounding quite different.

0:11:05 > 0:11:10As a songwriter, you lapse into lazy habits. Eugene on the things that

0:11:10 > 0:11:15you are known for. But, you need pushing sometimes. Pushing in a

0:11:15 > 0:11:20different direction.And for you, playing live is the Holy Grail,

0:11:20 > 0:11:24really.That's the payoff. It is literally the payoff these days!

0:11:24 > 0:11:31LAUGHTER Do you think about that payoff while

0:11:31 > 0:11:38you are writing?Umm... I would generally treat the three things

0:11:38 > 0:11:43right, recording and playing live, and while I am writing, you write

0:11:43 > 0:11:48the best that you can. In the studio, you are trying to get out in

0:11:48 > 0:11:54the speaker is what you've got in your head. But on tour, that's when

0:11:54 > 0:11:58you know how good your songs are, you place them against other songs

0:11:58 > 0:12:03in your career and how good they are. How they will stand up. You see

0:12:03 > 0:12:07what people react the best two. The first few weeks on tour can be

0:12:07 > 0:12:12pretty... Not difficult, but you are working out what will work best in a

0:12:12 > 0:12:17sat. But you only get to know them after six or seven weeks. -- best on

0:12:17 > 0:12:22a set.For you it is about the audience, how competitive would you

0:12:22 > 0:12:28say you are with your music these days? Back in the 1990s, their worst

0:12:28 > 0:12:32good conflict between Oasis and Blur, in Britpop. These days, being

0:12:32 > 0:12:40knocked off the top spot by Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran is...I've

0:12:40 > 0:12:44tried to goad Sam Smith into a war of words but unfortunately people

0:12:44 > 0:12:49these days are too nice! I will get him, him and Harry Styles!Does it

0:12:49 > 0:12:56annoy you, the clean cut?I tell you what they have got, I was at radio

0:12:56 > 0:13:01one the other we can Sam Smith was there. A lovely lad. He had a bigger

0:13:01 > 0:13:07entourage than the Pope! There were about 60 people with him. I thought,

0:13:07 > 0:13:14good God! I was there on my own!As you have done today.The current

0:13:14 > 0:13:22crop of pop stars... Yeah, they are a bit clean cut and a bit nice. But

0:13:22 > 0:13:29in the 1990s, that was a bloodbath, man!His eyes lighting up as he says

0:13:29 > 0:13:52"Bloodbath"!One Direction got to 11.Who Built The Moon is out now.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Blood services around the UK have released what they want for

0:13:55 > 0:13:58Christmas and that is more donors.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00To be honest it's the same thing they've been asking

0:14:00 > 0:14:02for since transfusions began nearly a hundred years ago -

0:14:02 > 0:14:04here's Natasha Raskin on the original blood drives.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07John Cartland would leave in the dead of night in Edinburgh and drive

0:14:07 > 0:14:09his father's car quickly through the streets but this was not joyriding.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14This was a matter of life and death. In the early days of the Scottish

0:14:14 > 0:14:20National blood transfusion service. In the 1920s and 1930s, blood

0:14:20 > 0:14:23transfusion was in its infancy and the UK's first blood donor service,

0:14:23 > 0:14:28run by the British Red Cross in London, only started in 1921.This

0:14:28 > 0:14:34is a typical piece of apparatus from the 1920s - 30s. The donor and the

0:14:34 > 0:14:38patient would have been in very close proximity. You had a line

0:14:38 > 0:14:42going into the donor and a line going into the patient. You would

0:14:42 > 0:14:49take the blood from the donor and inject it into the patient.It was

0:14:49 > 0:14:53quite an intimidating procedure so blood donors were quite scarce.

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Edinburgh dentist Jack clock blend wanted

0:14:59 > 0:15:04-- Jack Copeland wanted to change that. I've come back to where he

0:15:04 > 0:15:08lived and worked.A friend told him that his wife had died, and she

0:15:08 > 0:15:13could have been saved with a blood transfusion.Jack decided to start

0:15:13 > 0:15:18his own blood donation register. He would ferry blood donors to the

0:15:18 > 0:15:21hospital but within months, the service got so busy that his dental

0:15:21 > 0:15:28practice began to suffer...It was getting too much, he called on my

0:15:28 > 0:15:33teenage father, can you take on the night-time calls coming he said?

0:15:33 > 0:15:38Hello? Every night, John would take calls from doctors needing blood.It

0:15:38 > 0:15:41was his responsibility to drive the donor to and from hospital in his

0:15:41 > 0:15:48father's car. He was only 13 years old and clearly underage! So, did

0:15:48 > 0:15:53the authorities turn a blind eye? The Lord Protestant Edinburgh was a

0:15:53 > 0:15:59supporter of the blood transfusion, and so I think the police knew what

0:15:59 > 0:16:01was going on!In truth, John

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Copeland style, we've got our own 1930s Lanchester and we are going to

0:16:09 > 0:16:15look at his father's destinations... The Royal Infirmary, the Hospital

0:16:15 > 0:16:19for sick children, and private hospitals in streets like Moray

0:16:19 > 0:16:23Place. People wrote to your grandfather and father, letters of

0:16:23 > 0:16:28thanks.If it was an emergency situation, and it did not always

0:16:28 > 0:16:35turn out as you would hope... I regret that the great human effort

0:16:35 > 0:16:39was in vain. "I Have lost my comforter, councillor. Everything in

0:16:39 > 0:16:44the world to me but I pray to God that you, you will have health and

0:16:44 > 0:16:49strength to carry on your good work in the interests of humanity".Very

0:16:49 > 0:16:55touching. So sad. It was really selfless work. But worth it for the

0:16:55 > 0:16:59lives these transfusion saved. I wish to thank you very sincerely

0:16:59 > 0:17:06on behalf of my brother, from Ward three of the Royal Infirmary, for

0:17:06 > 0:17:10your real kindness in coming forward to give him a blood transfusion.

0:17:10 > 0:17:18We feel very grateful to you indeed. That is wonderful. Jack Copland

0:17:18 > 0:17:23Centre himself into fundraising and publicising the service. By 1936 he

0:17:23 > 0:17:29had a list of 350 blood donors and helped to create the Edinburgh blood

0:17:29 > 0:17:35transfusion service. By 1939, with the advent of the blood bank, cars

0:17:35 > 0:17:39were transporting donor's blood instead of people themselves. But

0:17:39 > 0:17:45speed was still of the essence. Last year, nearly 31,000 people in

0:17:45 > 0:17:50Scotland were helped with red cell blood transfusions.The principle is

0:17:50 > 0:17:58still the same, we are still 24/7, 365 days a year on call. We are so

0:17:58 > 0:18:01grateful to Jack, realising how important blood was in future.What

0:18:01 > 0:18:06would John have made of this fast car with blue lights?He would have

0:18:06 > 0:18:13been writing there, and up the road! He would have loved it!Jack Copland

0:18:13 > 0:18:17and his young son left a brilliant legacy to the people of Scotland and

0:18:17 > 0:18:23now the Scottish blood transfusion service on him they with this

0:18:23 > 0:18:30building the Jack Copland Centre building.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33They are about 80%, but the Jack Copland Centre is on track to be

0:18:33 > 0:18:39operational by next spring.At this time of the year, blood donations

0:18:39 > 0:18:42drop significantly, so if you can, do donate over the next few weeks.

0:18:42 > 0:18:49The link is on the website of where and how to donate.Noel, we

0:18:49 > 0:18:53understand we are helping you out.I could have done with some of that in

0:18:53 > 0:19:00the 90s!A whole different conversation.You are getting out of

0:19:00 > 0:19:05Christmas shopping by coming here. It is my least favourite time of the

0:19:05 > 0:19:11year.So you are delighted to in this subtly decorated studio.I told

0:19:11 > 0:19:16my wife I was on a TV marathon so I wouldn't be home until tomorrow.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21You're not into the whole gifting thing?It's just the atmosphere of

0:19:21 > 0:19:26Christmas, it winds me up, like the adverts. Apart from them using my

0:19:26 > 0:19:31music and I get paid a fortune. The one that Martin Freeman is in the

0:19:31 > 0:19:36minutes, you know that one...Over and over...The jingles and walking

0:19:36 > 0:19:43through shops. I tell you what annoys me, glitter. The staff at my

0:19:43 > 0:19:48office are having a Christmas party right now, and it was shaping up to

0:19:48 > 0:19:52be, frankly, the saddest Christmas party ever. I was in the office and

0:19:52 > 0:19:58it's covered in glitter. Why indeed! I've got it on my jeans, I had it on

0:19:58 > 0:20:04my nose before.My vision of what it would be like to meet you is

0:20:04 > 0:20:11absolutely bang on.The Grinch, kind I taught the Grinch or that he

0:20:11 > 0:20:20knows.What did you get your mum?I get the same thing every year. My

0:20:20 > 0:20:27wife looks after it all. My mum is like, thanks for the present.I

0:20:27 > 0:20:34assume that Liam doesn't get anything.He's been benefiting from

0:20:34 > 0:20:37my genius for a long time. He'll have to make do with that again this

0:20:37 > 0:20:43year.Quickly, let's have a look of this photo of you at the recount,

0:20:43 > 0:20:47because you don't enjoy football pundit. Your rat the match between

0:20:47 > 0:20:53Man United and Man City. Apparently, they were all singing Look Back In

0:20:53 > 0:21:00Anger.Yes, and Jose Mourinho didn't like it, did he? That might have

0:21:00 > 0:21:03been the best 48 hours ever, to sit beside Gary Neville, watching him

0:21:03 > 0:21:08have a meltdown, and then to kind of leave the stadium and there had been

0:21:08 > 0:21:17a fracas, so to read in the papers that they were playing Look Back In

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Anger at excruciating volume and wound up Jose Mourinho, the most

0:21:20 > 0:21:24hated man in the world, it was just too much. The best Christmas present

0:21:24 > 0:21:27I've ever had!

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Nadiya Hussain and Christine Walkden have spent the last year visiting

0:21:29 > 0:21:31the passionate gardeners of Walsall Road in Birmingham.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34They've already seen the allotments in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

0:21:34 > 0:21:42No prizes for guessing what's next.

0:21:42 > 0:21:48It's winter, and we are back for our last visit this year to peas in

0:21:48 > 0:21:55Birmingham to check up on our lovely allotmenteers.Where has the year

0:21:55 > 0:22:01gone? It's flown by. We had such fun.What happens to an allotment?

0:22:01 > 0:22:09Does it just go into hibernation? No, digging, weeding, cutting back,

0:22:09 > 0:22:13fruit trees, greenhouse, picking Brussels sprouts for Christmas Day.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Last time we were here, we saw a selection of juicy Asian vegetables,

0:22:17 > 0:22:23including this whopper. I've not seen one that big in my life! And

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Christine tried to teach me a thing or two about the quality of the

0:22:26 > 0:22:36soil. You've got good hand cream. No, I haven't! You can smell the

0:22:36 > 0:22:43earth.Is the Earth living up to its promise?We got some parsnips.The

0:22:43 > 0:22:48bigger the crown, theoretically, the more leaves, the bigger the

0:22:48 > 0:22:58parsnips. Look at that!That enormous!The best thing is, when

0:22:58 > 0:23:01they are frosted, the carbohydrate toasters sugar and feels we doubled

0:23:01 > 0:23:09windy big these?January. I planted over 50 and I've probably got about

0:23:09 > 0:23:15half.If you sold them later, you would get a higher percentage.What

0:23:15 > 0:23:26tips would you give me for growing parsnips?Plant them in March.What

0:23:26 > 0:23:30are we up to today?We are sitting in the freezing cold! We are going

0:23:30 > 0:23:35to cook that parsnip with an aromatic, spicy, curry flavoured

0:23:35 > 0:23:43soup.What would you like me to do? This big parsnip leads greeting.

0:23:43 > 0:23:47Some garlic... Into the hot oil, we put garlic, onion, chilli flakes,

0:23:47 > 0:23:58curry powder and turmeric. In a good peeler.You are very good. In dopey

0:23:58 > 0:24:07peelings, mix it all up, add water and let it simmer. -- in go the

0:24:07 > 0:24:10peelings. It's taken 11 months to get this parsnip. We are going to

0:24:10 > 0:24:20honour it and cook it long and slow and let it take its time.OK. I

0:24:20 > 0:24:29think allotment are romantic.There was something Sarina and calm.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Caring, loving, romantic. Relationships bring this place

0:24:34 > 0:24:37together and when newcomer Elaine inherited a shed, her neighbours

0:24:37 > 0:24:44were happy to help.It was lovely to see these wonderful people appearing

0:24:44 > 0:24:50in saying, let's sort it, and pushing it. I was amazed.I think

0:24:50 > 0:24:59allotment are romantic.Really?I can sit here and dreamy romance in

0:24:59 > 0:25:01my shed but there's nothing happening here. It's boring, I'm

0:25:01 > 0:25:11afraid.But from the land of bromance, Colin is planting a bit of

0:25:11 > 0:25:15Sicily. -- the land of romance. How do you grow Mediterranean vegetables

0:25:15 > 0:25:21in this climate?If you keep working hard, you achieve the fruit of it.

0:25:21 > 0:25:28There are so many things here.We are in a city so you don't get the

0:25:28 > 0:25:34extremes of weather, and you get some protection from the heat. The

0:25:34 > 0:25:37plant is modified.But we are not feeling that he'd today. Time for

0:25:37 > 0:25:49the soup.Super!Really sweet. Shall we share it?No, we'll have it.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53Served with a dollop of York and some parsley, what is John's

0:25:53 > 0:26:02verdict? -- A dollop of yoghurt. It's lovely.Really nice.Everybody

0:26:02 > 0:26:06has been so welcoming and I've had such an amazing time. I reckon we

0:26:06 > 0:26:10should come back.

0:26:10 > 0:26:18Will you have asked?Yes!A great bunch. What a lovely year it's been.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21It's been a happy time and they have always been so helpful and

0:26:21 > 0:26:26welcoming. To see them develop and see the crops they've grown, it's

0:26:26 > 0:26:31been fantastic. A real sense of community boardyour mum is a big

0:26:31 > 0:26:38gardener, isn't she?She gets stuck in. A very tidy garden.That's the

0:26:38 > 0:26:45right thing disabledlet's hope she's going to be proud of you. --

0:26:45 > 0:26:49the right thing to say. We're putting your knowledge to the test.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52We have a plant which has a mention in one of your songs. Any idea what

0:26:52 > 0:27:03it is?You should know what that is, some trying.Shall we hum it?

0:27:03 > 0:27:14THEY HUM THE SONG. Morning glory.When you said it

0:27:14 > 0:27:17began with the letter M, I was thinking, it can't be the other one,

0:27:17 > 0:27:25can it?We've got some gardening queries from viewers. I think, are

0:27:25 > 0:27:33you going to read the first one?The first one is from lawn, who asks, I

0:27:33 > 0:27:37don't know how to prove an apple tree but over the last six years, it

0:27:37 > 0:27:40produces

0:27:40 > 0:27:47masses of leaves but no longer fruit. Can you tell if it is a chip

0:27:47 > 0:27:50bearer rather than a spur and, if you get that right, there is a

0:27:50 > 0:27:58speedboat but should she prune it in winter or summer? No conferring.

0:27:58 > 0:28:05Looking at that, it is a shade tree against a fence and it looks from

0:28:05 > 0:28:09the nodules along those low branches that it is a suburb bearer, so you'd

0:28:09 > 0:28:13prune it in the summer and prune those upright shoots back to the

0:28:13 > 0:28:21leaves.That's correct, you win a speedboat!Diane wants to know if

0:28:21 > 0:28:28she can put ash from a log burner onto the soil.It produces potash,

0:28:28 > 0:28:37but it needs to be wood ash and not Cole ash.Noel, you said you weren't

0:28:37 > 0:28:46great at gifting. He is a present that you can pretend. Your mum loss

0:28:46 > 0:28:51a gnome.It's striking. -- your mum loves. I look like a Geordie

0:28:51 > 0:29:04cracker! Here, I look amazing.It's a collectors item.It's always been
