:00:18. > :00:23.Hello, friends, and thank you for tuning into the Friday One Show
:00:23. > :00:28.with Alex Jones and Chris Evans. Tonight, the comedy metre is in
:00:28. > :00:32.danger of overload. Tonight, to start, someone who helped to create
:00:32. > :00:40.and starring one of the most popular sketch shows ever. Let's
:00:40. > :00:48.remind ourselves of some of its catchphrases. Suit you, sir.
:00:48. > :00:58.Scorchio. This season, I will be mostly wearing yoghurt. I was very,
:00:58. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:15.very drunk. Brilliant! It is Paul Whitehouse! Hello. How are you? I
:01:15. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :01:19.have always wanted to give you a nickname. Everybody calls you Chris.
:01:19. > :01:25.Do the catchphrases still chase you down the street? Are some older
:01:25. > :01:33.women. I can safely say there are no old woman has ever shouted out
:01:33. > :01:42.one of my catchphrases. Builders, they say suit you, mainly. Do you
:01:42. > :01:45.ever hated? Know. James Corden was on Desert Island Discs and he said
:01:45. > :01:50.that anyone who pretends they do not like it is a liar. Not that
:01:50. > :01:56.I've always live my life by what James Corden says. Sometimes it is
:01:56. > :02:02.a pain, but most people are nice usually. It is a compliment. What
:02:02. > :02:12.is better than one comedy legend? Two. He has put away his punk
:02:12. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:26.hairstyle and given away his bottom, Hello. This is going to be a riot,
:02:26. > :02:32.isn't it? It already is. Stay tuned. Have you really got a comedy metre?
:02:32. > :02:36.We had it in rehearsal but we thought it was rubbish. You are
:02:37. > :02:42.presenting a show for the enemy about the countryside. Is it the
:02:42. > :02:47.enemy? They are the ones that will give me a job. Should Matt Baker be
:02:47. > :02:56.worried? If he is not worried, he looks very worried when he is doing
:02:56. > :03:01.this show. Yes, I hope so. You are competition. Yes, right. Could use
:03:01. > :03:06.cycle the length of the country with somebody in the back? I don't
:03:06. > :03:10.think so. Stay tuned. Also coming up, what would happen if you put
:03:10. > :03:16.Tony Blackburn and David Hamilton together with the Great Britain
:03:16. > :03:22.rhythmic gymnastics team? I have always wondered that. We will find
:03:22. > :03:26.out live on the show later. Plus, we will be speaking to Malcolm
:03:26. > :03:33.Jarvis, who hit the headlines this week when he risked his life
:03:33. > :03:38.crawling across a frozen pond to save his dog. In his pants. That is
:03:38. > :03:44.the weird bit about that story. We will get to the bottom of it before
:03:44. > :03:48.8pm. For the past nine decades, royal brides, including the Queen,
:03:48. > :03:57.Princess Diana and the Duchess of Cambridge have had wedding rings
:03:57. > :04:01.crafted from Welsh gold. Sadly, most of the UK's Gold mines have
:04:01. > :04:06.now closed, but in Scotland one man has found a way to carry on the
:04:06. > :04:12.tradition, as Alison Craig reports. In the Wild West, it was the stuff
:04:12. > :04:16.of dreams, hopes and a fervent fever. This is not the Wild West.
:04:16. > :04:23.This is the Scottish Highlands. And I have heard rumours of treasure in
:04:23. > :04:28.these parts. In fact, I hear there is a Scottish gold rush. But
:04:28. > :04:33.Scotland has a rich tradition when it comes to gold mining. In the
:04:33. > :04:38.1860s, the precious metal was discovered, resulting in a mini
:04:38. > :04:43.gold rush. This was short lived. And in the late 1860s, it looked
:04:43. > :04:50.like the time of Scottish gold was over. But 150 years later, things
:04:50. > :04:54.could be changing. Gold mining is due to start here next year. The
:04:54. > :05:01.man in charge is Chris. Are we standing literally with gold within
:05:01. > :05:05.our grasp? Indeed. If you look above your head, you can see that
:05:05. > :05:09.sulphite memorisation, which is the bits of rock that contain the gold.
:05:09. > :05:16.Gold particles are very small, so you will not see them, but you are
:05:16. > :05:23.standing underneath gold. How much do you expect to get out? We have a
:05:23. > :05:28.resource of 165,000 ounces, worth about �165 million at current
:05:28. > :05:34.prices. Can you show us where it is? You can see the difference in
:05:34. > :05:41.contrast. The white, with the sulphite material through it.
:05:41. > :05:45.is what you're looking for. This dark part is where most of the gold
:05:45. > :05:51.is concentrated. That is not the gold, but it does look like it.
:05:51. > :05:56.does, it sparkles and shines. That is why it is known as fool's gold.
:05:56. > :06:02.On the other side of the mountain, I found John, a man prepared to
:06:02. > :06:09.spend hours in freezing streams hunting for tiny flecks of precious
:06:09. > :06:15.metal. The technique that I use is to flog it out and swirl in a
:06:15. > :06:24.circular motion, and slowly Tippett in a sideways action. And then I
:06:24. > :06:29.wash. And emerging at the bottom... The gold, being 19 times heavier,
:06:29. > :06:36.it should fall, if it is there, into the bottom. I think I caught
:06:36. > :06:44.gold fever. I was going out for 15 hours a day. Bit by bit, I managed
:06:44. > :06:47.to collect enough to make arena. Getting engaged is fantastic. But
:06:47. > :06:53.to know all the hard work and effort that has gone into actually
:06:53. > :06:58.making the ring, that makes it all the more special. Anybody can pan
:06:58. > :07:06.for gold on a small scale with the landowner's permission. You can do
:07:06. > :07:13.it with one hand. There is loads. Is that gold? It could be you.
:07:13. > :07:18.really does stand out. That is a Nugget, really. That is probably
:07:18. > :07:22.one of the best I have ever found. Really?
:07:23. > :07:28.That is what independence is all about. They know they have loads of
:07:29. > :07:34.gold. The new series of the Fast Show is back. Six episodes before
:07:35. > :07:44.Christmas, and it came back yesterday. What prompted you to
:07:45. > :07:47.
:07:47. > :07:56.bring them back? Was it money? is beneath me. Says the man from
:07:56. > :08:06.ITV on my left. U2 just carry on! Where did you spend the first four
:08:06. > :08:12.years of your life. You have already ridiculed my accent. We
:08:12. > :08:18.will stop that, shall we? We will get back to the question before he
:08:18. > :08:23.tried to hijack my section. Let's ask a different question. We did it
:08:23. > :08:31.for nothing, Chris. We were approached, and when we stopped
:08:31. > :08:35.doing the Fast Show 10 or 15 years ago... Which I cannot believe!
:08:35. > :08:40.is a long time. We got bored with the endless repetition. That was
:08:40. > :08:44.not like we were about to kill each other, but we would have her teach
:08:44. > :08:48.other seriously. We thought a spell apart would be beneficial. -- we
:08:48. > :08:52.would have hurt each other. We all had things that we wanted to do, so
:08:52. > :08:57.it was good at the time to part. We remembered the show very fondly,
:08:57. > :09:01.were very proud of it. When we were asked, after a period of time had
:09:01. > :09:09.elapsed, we thought we would give it a go. Also, I think this
:09:09. > :09:14.internet thing is going to catch on. Do you? I have a feeling it might
:09:14. > :09:21.just work. You say you were asked to bring it back, but who did they
:09:21. > :09:28.go to first? They went to him and he said, wrong number. Somebody
:09:28. > :09:32.must have rallied the troops. Was it you? Charlie and I were approach
:09:32. > :09:36.to jointly. He likes to think he has the power behind the throne! We
:09:36. > :09:42.got in touch with everyone and they were very keen, even John Thompson.
:09:42. > :09:47.Caroline, we have not done anything with her for years. You did not
:09:48. > :09:53.think Carol Laing would want to do it. We did not even talked to her.
:09:53. > :10:00.-- Caroline. We had not spoken to her for a long while. She did not
:10:00. > :10:06.do the last series. We thought she would not be interested. She is a
:10:06. > :10:09.big fish up there in that place called Manchester. But John bumped
:10:09. > :10:14.into her and said we were thinking about doing the Fast Show and she
:10:14. > :10:21.said she would love to do it. We said, fantastic. It is online.
:10:21. > :10:31.Shall we watch it on TV? Apparently, if you give Richard Branson �10
:10:31. > :10:34.
:10:34. > :10:40.million, or maybe 11, he will send you into space. Brilliant! The Fast
:10:40. > :10:44.Show is known for its catchphrases. Have you got any new ones? No, we
:10:44. > :10:49.decided we were bringing back the Fast Show, so that is what we did.
:10:49. > :10:58.It is the old characters and catchphrases. But we have updated
:10:58. > :11:03.the references. We mention the Internet. Twitter. Telephones.
:11:03. > :11:12.you did a bit of Downton Abbey. would know about that, being an ITV
:11:12. > :11:22.man. He has something on BBC, as well. Yes, I am I pay my dues in
:11:22. > :11:24.
:11:24. > :11:31.non-paying comedy. Enough of you. Brilliant! We asked some viewers
:11:31. > :11:41.for their favourite catchphrases. Selling cars is like making love to
:11:41. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:51.a beautiful woman. I was very, very drunk. Nice! You Ain't seen me.
:11:51. > :11:59.Suit you, sir. They are too good at that, those guys. They are a worry.
:11:59. > :12:03.I have alerted the authorities. new series can be viewed online.
:12:03. > :12:07.Another Fast Show character was Competitive Dad, always trying to
:12:07. > :12:17.beat his kids at games. We have a film about a dad who is not
:12:17. > :12:18.
:12:18. > :12:23.competitive with his little one. He This is the sort of action in the
:12:23. > :12:30.four wheel drive adrenaline junkie would love. -- any four-wheel-drive
:12:30. > :12:34.adrenaline junkie. Go forward until you feel the pivot point. For Nigel
:12:34. > :12:38.Holland, this is one of 50 challengers on a list he is
:12:38. > :12:43.determined to complete before his 50th birthday. Why? To prove that
:12:43. > :12:52.anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Do I need to hold
:12:52. > :12:57.on? Yes. I think so. His activity list comprises of everything from
:12:57. > :13:03.baking bread regularly, scuba- diving, to completing a 1000 piece
:13:03. > :13:07.jigsaw. These challenges take every ounce of energy for him because he
:13:07. > :13:10.has a disease called Siem tea, a hereditary condition affecting the
:13:10. > :13:15.nervous system, which means the muscles in his arms and legs are
:13:15. > :13:20.wasting away. His youngest daughter, Eleanor, also has the condition.
:13:20. > :13:26.What is the main challenge of this challenge, driving? It is a
:13:26. > :13:32.challenge for me to grip the wheel and control the car. What drives
:13:32. > :13:36.you to do this? Why go through the list? Primarily, it is to show my
:13:36. > :13:44.daughter that anything is possible. Also doing it just to inspire
:13:44. > :13:47.others. And other people with disabilities. Nigel's wife, Lisa, a
:13:47. > :13:54.and his son, Matthew, are waiting up ahead. I would be interested to
:13:54. > :13:59.find out what they make of this? Is there anything you are worried
:13:59. > :14:03.about your husband doing? I am slightly worried about the bungee
:14:03. > :14:09.jump. How confident are you that Nigel is going to achieve
:14:09. > :14:19.everything on his list by his birthday? Is your dad going to do
:14:19. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:29.it? Yes. I am having a look at the list. What is next? Skydiving? What
:14:29. > :14:39.on earth... Why has this made your list? It is a bit of a cliche, but
:14:39. > :14:42.
:14:42. > :14:47.you are as free as a bird. I am out Is it weird to see your husband
:14:47. > :14:56.flying about? Yes. It isn't something that you see every day of
:14:56. > :15:00.So far, Nigel has negotiated rough terrain and flown through the air.
:15:00. > :15:05.I'm guessing that the last challenge today is water related.
:15:05. > :15:09.It is more than ticking things off a list? Yes, it is to show people
:15:09. > :15:13.that anything is possible. To show my daughter anything is possible.
:15:13. > :15:16.It is something I've always fancied doing. What does this mean to your
:15:16. > :15:23.family, that you are doing these challenges and pushing yourself in
:15:23. > :15:27.this way? I want them to be proud of me. But I want to help my
:15:27. > :15:32.daughter and held her realise that there is a whole world ahead of her
:15:32. > :15:42.and she can do anything she wants. If she gets to 50 and wants to do a
:15:42. > :15:44.
:15:44. > :15:47.LEA has been really quiet all day. But I think she wants to sit on her
:15:47. > :15:56.dad's lap and then I think she will tell us how she feels about the
:15:56. > :16:06.whole thing. What do you like most about today? The boat ride! Why?
:16:06. > :16:08.
:16:08. > :16:12.Because it is fast. It is, isn't How inspiring. Thanks to Lucy and
:16:12. > :16:22.Nigel for the lovely film. Could you do owe us a favour? Could
:16:22. > :16:23.
:16:23. > :16:29.you go and get ready for the THING? Oh, the THING? He's going to do a
:16:29. > :16:33.special thing later. Time to meet a man who declaim and the hero of dog
:16:33. > :16:41.lovers everywhere. At the same time scaring the living daylights out of
:16:41. > :16:51.the rest of us. Let's meet there mad man from the icy pond who is in
:16:51. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :16:58.Welcome to the programme. Nice to see you. When I saw that photograph,
:16:58. > :17:04.it was horrific, it was frightening, it was intriguing, compelling. But
:17:04. > :17:08.why were due in your underpants? Really, it was a case of making
:17:08. > :17:12.sure I didn't have too many clothes on. Basically, I was wearing jeans
:17:12. > :17:17.at the time. The last thing you want to be wearing his heavy, wet
:17:17. > :17:22.jeans. I don't care that you saved the dog, I just care that he went
:17:22. > :17:28.out in your pants. They do not wonder that somebody might steal
:17:28. > :17:32.your clothes, while he went to rescue Bentley? Thankfully I had my
:17:32. > :17:39.wife and two daughters to look after them. Was it a family
:17:39. > :17:46.decision? I looked at Rachel and I said, OK, I'm doing it. To be
:17:46. > :17:51.honest, I started taking my coat and boots off. This is still to do
:17:51. > :17:55.with the dog? At which point, Malcolm year that he had to do it.
:17:55. > :17:58.It is a crazy thing to do. You have been harangued by a lot of people,
:17:58. > :18:03.as much as you have been praised, you have been criticised?
:18:03. > :18:07.Absolutely. How do you feel about it in retrospect? It was a reckless
:18:07. > :18:11.act. But when you see your dog drowning in the water, it takes
:18:11. > :18:17.over and you have to do something. That is the decision that I took.
:18:17. > :18:25.What you do it again? I think the message has to beat clear to all
:18:25. > :18:34.dog owners, keep your dog on a lead mere water. Kids, don't think about
:18:34. > :18:40.doing anything like this. But he was originally a rescue dog. What
:18:40. > :18:46.is he? A Jack Russell. Pure. pure?! I don't think you have seen
:18:46. > :18:51.the breed book. As we say, that was extremely dangerous. It was a bit
:18:51. > :18:57.of a mad thing to do. Please be careful. But he did get into the
:18:57. > :19:02.papers in your pants! What could be better? It is the Oscars next
:19:02. > :19:06.weekend. In one of the categories, visual effect, Britain has two
:19:06. > :19:11.chance of winning. Harry Potter and Hugo were both filmed at Pinewood.
:19:11. > :19:15.Angelica could not resist dropping in to see if they could transform
:19:15. > :19:19.her into some groovy little character. And they did.
:19:19. > :19:24.Pinewood Studios is one of the Prime filming locations out of
:19:24. > :19:28.Hollywood. It is at the cutting edge of technology, attracting huge
:19:28. > :19:32.blockbusters from James Bond to Harry Potter. As well as finding
:19:33. > :19:39.the largest blue screen in Europe and a purpose-built underwater film
:19:39. > :19:44.stage, you can also enter the world of motion capture, or mo-cap. In
:19:44. > :19:48.the 1932 film Bambi-like Island, artists used rota scoping to draw
:19:48. > :19:53.over each frame individually and create an animated character that
:19:53. > :20:02.dances in a realistic way. Computer technology can now do all of this
:20:02. > :20:06.and much more. There would be no Avatar, trolls and Harry Potter or
:20:06. > :20:11.Gollum in Lord Of The Rings without motion capture. Avatar to get to
:20:11. > :20:15.new heights, but it's not just $37 million films that are using it. At
:20:15. > :20:20.Pinewood, a whole variety of smaller projects have also utilised
:20:20. > :20:30.the technology. From music videos, to computer games. And award-
:20:30. > :20:31.
:20:31. > :20:36.Today, it is even possible for children's television to animate
:20:36. > :20:42.quickly and do for the bleak using mo-cap. Phil is the resident expert.
:20:42. > :20:47.You know your stuff. But can you simply explain how it works? Sure.
:20:47. > :20:52.Motion capture starts by putting a performer into a very tight Lycra
:20:52. > :20:56.suit. Then we take these, which are markers. We put them on to the key
:20:56. > :21:00.joints of the body. Then someone identify his or of the Mark Ayres,
:21:00. > :21:06.a little bit like doing... When you are a trialled. It is this template
:21:06. > :21:11.that we used to drive the character. -- a bit like joining the dots when
:21:11. > :21:17.you are eight child. Performance is key? Yes, and this is Brian he was
:21:17. > :21:23.already set up. This allows you to see Brian as the character. Would
:21:23. > :21:26.you like to have a go? I would love 2. This is incredible, brilliant.
:21:26. > :21:30.It's a very new technology. It is making motion capture a little bit
:21:30. > :21:34.more like a live-action shoot. Technology is moving so fast that
:21:34. > :21:39.you can now move around your actor and see the character on screen in
:21:39. > :21:43.front of you. What is especially great is that Brian, with the
:21:44. > :21:49.glasses, he is also seeing this. It allows him to perform like he was
:21:49. > :21:56.doing it to camera. This is at work, this is having fun! No, it is work.
:21:56. > :22:03.One thing we have not done is get you into the suit. I am all suited
:22:03. > :22:07.and booted. Is that me on are the screen? Yes, you are the red one.
:22:07. > :22:11.If you do they spin, you can see yourself moving around. How did you
:22:11. > :22:17.get into this sort of acting? came into it from a puppetry
:22:17. > :22:23.background. I started on Spitting Image many years ago. This is the
:22:23. > :22:27.next step. It's like doing puppetry but with pixels. You are wearing
:22:27. > :22:31.the suit, but without all of the Brabant the first. This is the kind
:22:31. > :22:36.of technology they use in Avatar and Lord Of The Rings. Hopefully I
:22:36. > :22:42.might pick one of those it! Let's make our own film, now. Because you
:22:42. > :22:48.have such a small character and you take dainty steps, I take big steps.
:22:48. > :22:51.My character lumbers about and does his stuff. But you are doing small,
:22:51. > :22:56.quick steps. I have to forget about what I look like and think about
:22:56. > :23:06.what ants look like? Concentrate on what you see in the Gorbals.
:23:06. > :23:11.The possibilities are endless, from audience interaction to
:23:11. > :23:14.resurrecting stars from the dead. With the technology already
:23:14. > :23:20.spreading to games consoles, it will not be long before we can all
:23:20. > :23:28.have mo-cap in our living rooms. But I think I need a bit more
:23:28. > :23:31.You have all of that to come, mo- cap in your living room. How
:23:31. > :23:36.excited are you already? Angellica Bell is here. What a fun film to
:23:36. > :23:39.make. It was fantastic Kirkuk go to the studios and see it all done.
:23:39. > :23:43.It's really hard for actors. They are in the room, there is no set
:23:43. > :23:47.and they have no real interaction, but they have to act out the
:23:47. > :23:54.characters realistically. It was really good. Is this really you?
:23:54. > :23:57.is, it's not motion capture. Touch me. There is always the issue, the
:23:57. > :24:02.problem with the Oscars and this kind of acting. Like you said

:25:47. > :25:56.That is what it is all about, mate! Look at that! That is absolutely

:27:23. > :27:27.really have a strong connection. I was born in Bradford, The Dales

:27:31. > :27:40.limestone pavement. When your teenagers, you go camping, trying
:27:40. > :27:44.to pick up girls. It's a fantastic part of the world. I started to
:27:44. > :27:49.ring with a folk band recently. I started going to smaller parts of
:27:50. > :27:53.the UK. Normally when you do big comedy shows, you only do the
:27:53. > :27:56.cities. You start going to smaller places and there was so much of
:27:56. > :28:01.Britain that is fantastic. You forget it is there. Sometimes when
:28:01. > :28:05.you watch television you think it is all just one homogenous whole.
:28:05. > :28:11.But there are brilliant bits. it's so big, you've got to get out
:28:11. > :28:17.and investigated? The Dales are so remote. There is a beautiful family
:28:17. > :28:23.I visit, she is a shepherd with six kids, all born in lay-bys... No,
:28:23. > :28:28.not because she is that sort of woman! Because she is so far away
:28:28. > :28:32.from the hospital. She usually has to go to the army hospital in
:28:32. > :28:37.Catterick to deliver. But they live so far away from everything, in the
:28:37. > :28:42.Middle England. I'm amazed you cannot see the Lake District from
:28:42. > :28:52.here because it is so big when you get there. So, 6 and a half hours?
:28:52. > :28:55.I think it is 12. We heard that it was six. Maybe they could it and
:28:56. > :28:59.didn't tell you? What other kind of things do you do? Well, we follow a
:28:59. > :29:03.lot of different stories around. It's not really about me. It is
:29:03. > :29:07.about following a group of singers around, a community choir that you
:29:08. > :29:17.just saw, with a very amusing man that is part of the Quaye and never

:32:50. > :32:54.what would you bring back from a sunny Caribbean holiday. When Jeff
:32:54. > :33:04.Calvert went on a cruise with his dad, he came back with a suntan and
:33:04. > :33:05.
:33:05. > :33:09.an idea for a song that became the hit of 1975. Barbados was the title.
:33:09. > :33:14.Totally Tropical was the band, and no one was more surprised to reach
:33:14. > :33:21.number one than they were. We are not performing artists. Never have
:33:21. > :33:26.been, never will be. We made the record as a joke. Both Geoff and
:33:26. > :33:31.Geraint were working as technicians at a music studio in London,
:33:31. > :33:34.sneaking in after hours to record their own songs. My dad was a
:33:34. > :33:41.musician, a guest artist on a ship out of Southampton doing a
:33:41. > :33:45.Caribbean tour. He said, do you fancy coming along? As a, yes. One
:33:45. > :33:50.of the islands was Barbados. I loved it. I thought, I have to
:33:50. > :33:57.write a song about Barbados. We sat down one rainy afternoon in west
:33:57. > :34:04.London and set to it, him on guitar, me and piano. 9 EUFOR chords, so
:34:04. > :34:10.there are four chords in the song. The four that I know. In about half
:34:10. > :34:13.an hour, it was there. Did you realise you were sitting on a hit?
:34:14. > :34:18.Not really. I thought we were going to have a laugh and it was strange
:34:18. > :34:24.how everybody was liking the song. Radio 1 picked it up and away it
:34:24. > :34:30.went. Suddenly, they were shooting up the charts with their very first
:34:30. > :34:34.release. Were people surprised that it was you? We kept it quiet
:34:34. > :34:39.because people thought it was a good idea to keep the mystery going.
:34:39. > :34:48.For quite a while we never emerged. It actually came out on the front
:34:48. > :34:52.page of Record Mara. It was us in a tropical looking setting, outside
:34:52. > :34:59.St John's Wood Underground station, where they have some wonderful palm
:34:59. > :35:04.trees. A defining part of the record has to be the Caribbean
:35:04. > :35:14.vocals. I was doing a lot of work for Trojan at the time, working
:35:14. > :35:14.
:35:14. > :35:19.with a lot of reggae artists. started to pick up the patois.
:35:19. > :35:27.was what it was. There was nothing derogatory in we were doing. It was
:35:27. > :35:32.a celebration of a style of music and of an island, really. Typically
:35:32. > :35:39.tropical was a one-hit wonder, although they did go on to further
:35:39. > :35:45.chart success by writing Starship trooper. Then in 1999 they received
:35:45. > :35:52.a welcome phone-call. It was our publisher. They said, we have had a
:35:52. > :35:56.phone call from the Finger boys. Really, what did they want? They
:35:56. > :36:01.were keen on doing a version of our song but they said would we mind if
:36:01. > :36:05.they changed the title. I thought, one of the biggest pop bands around
:36:05. > :36:13.at the moment. Everything that they touched was getting massive. I said,
:36:13. > :36:18.I think we will let them do it. was a good call. The version was a
:36:18. > :36:24.hit right across Europe and brought another UK number one. Did you
:36:24. > :36:31.imagine that would happen? Number one twice is a weird to think about,
:36:31. > :36:41.especially with a gap of 25 years. Now, I wanted to be number 13 times.
:36:41. > :36:42.
:36:42. > :36:52.A hat-trick. I have got a taste for it. Where is buzzing late sleeve. -
:36:52. > :36:57.
:36:57. > :37:03.- lately? Have you been to Ibiza? have. Look at me, compared to you.
:37:03. > :37:08.Was that the biggest one-hit wonder? No, Spirit In The Sky was a
:37:08. > :37:13.hit three times, first in 1969 for Norman Greenbaum, who wrote it. It
:37:13. > :37:18.was number one here, number three in the US. The same song was a hit
:37:18. > :37:24.for Dr and the medics in 1986. They went to the top of the charts. They
:37:24. > :37:30.looked amazing. And in 2003, Gareth Gates and a big hit with it for
:37:30. > :37:37.comic relief. What was the first one hit wonder? The official charts
:37:37. > :37:44.companies say the first one was a track called Broken Wings. It was
:37:44. > :37:52.by art and Dotty Todd. No wonder they only had one hit. Not a catchy
:37:52. > :38:00.name. But the big non-charity ensemble record was the Teletubbies.
:38:00. > :38:05.Nothing wrong with the Teletubbies. I have seen them live! Are you sure
:38:05. > :38:11.it was the Teletubbies? What are the ingredients for a one-hit
:38:11. > :38:16.wonder? It has to be very Nish. And faddish. You have to get the moment
:38:16. > :38:24.that is happening in society at that moment and write about it.
:38:24. > :38:34.of the ingredients together. have my former student. I had a
:38:34. > :38:36.
:38:36. > :38:41.one-hit wonder myself. It is still funny, that. I thought it was worth
:38:41. > :38:46.more time on screen than that. We were ready for one minute!
:38:46. > :38:50.advantage of being a one-hit wonder is that you keep your anonymity. We
:38:50. > :39:00.have a couple of such artists in the studio tonight. Who had a hit

:40:57. > :41:03.life? In the long run, it meant that we met Ade Edmondson. What
:41:03. > :41:07.about the up side? We have employed him twice, actually. We run a
:41:07. > :41:17.festival in June and he and his band have been kind enough to come
:41:17. > :41:21.and play. Brilliant. Lovely to have you here tonight. We have to warn
:41:21. > :41:25.you that this next film contains Jay Rayner getting a bit steamy.
:41:25. > :41:30.But don't worry, he is tucking into steamed puddings which are so good
:41:30. > :41:35.that you can almost smell them through your TV. This is a
:41:35. > :41:39.brilliant film. Cold winds from the east, economic
:41:40. > :41:43.hardship looming, the haves and have-nots at loggerheads. It is
:41:44. > :41:48.easy to look at today's state of affairs and be reminded of
:41:48. > :41:52.Dickensian story lines. Hard times indeed. But the modern British
:41:52. > :41:58.public is also looking to the Dickensian age for comfort food -
:41:58. > :42:01.Victorian puddings, hot, steamed and stodgy, are back in fashion.
:42:01. > :42:08.Invented to satisfy 19th century hunger, steamed puddings are
:42:08. > :42:13.selling like hot cakes again. One supermarket's spotted dick sales
:42:13. > :42:18.are up 39%. It is proper freezing out there and on a day like this I
:42:18. > :42:22.do not want tiramisu or souffle. This hits the spot, dense, rich and
:42:22. > :42:27.filling. It was good enough for the Victorians and is exactly what I
:42:27. > :42:31.need, too. The National Trust Wimpole estate in Cambridgeshire.
:42:31. > :42:38.When Queen Victoria dined here in 1843, a typical desert was, of
:42:38. > :42:41.course, a stodgy sponge pudding. This is a cabinet pudding from the
:42:41. > :42:45.1840s, which we think Queen Victoria would have eaten when she
:42:45. > :42:49.visited the house. It is a basic custard mixture with brandy, orange,
:42:49. > :42:56.candy peel running through it, using things like old sponge and
:42:56. > :43:06.bread. It is always important to taste these things. It is very soft
:43:06. > :43:06.
:43:06. > :43:10.and rich, isn't it? It is quite solid. In a good way. This is a
:43:10. > :43:15.Winnifred pudding, invented by Thomas Alison at the end of the
:43:15. > :43:19.19th century, using whole breadcrumbs. Actually, that is
:43:19. > :43:23.surprisingly light. I think that is cracking. I love the lemon running
:43:23. > :43:25.through it. Waiting three hours free pudding to steam did not
:43:25. > :43:30.appeal to twentieth-century families and the recipes went out
:43:30. > :43:36.of fashion. Luckily, some cooks have been quietly keeping the
:43:36. > :43:40.family recipes alive. Myrtle makes 500 steamed puddings each week, all
:43:40. > :43:45.by hand. It is all about nostalgia. You have a generation that probably
:43:45. > :43:50.have not even tried them before, but the amount of people that say,
:43:50. > :43:55.that is just like my mum used to make, it is a nostalgic thing.
:43:55. > :44:00.is this one that you are about to take out? This is a really old
:44:00. > :44:06.traditional pudding called a Sussex pond pudding. Oh, yes. I know about
:44:06. > :44:09.those. There is a whole lemon in the middle. Indeed. And the source
:44:09. > :44:19.that is around it, made with sugar and butter that is inside their,
:44:19. > :44:32.
:44:32. > :44:36.that comes out and creates the pond. There is citrus, but it is also
:44:36. > :44:39.slightly better from the lemon peel. It's a very sweet. He would
:44:40. > :44:43.definitely know that you had eaten one of these. Some versions were
:44:43. > :44:47.called Lemon bombs because the skin of the lemon could explode in the
:44:47. > :44:53.heat of the oven. But I'm going to make the less dangerous spotted
:44:53. > :45:00.dick. First, the ingredients. Cilic, a sort of beef fat, flour,
:45:00. > :45:03.breadcrumbs, sultanas and caster sugar, mix together with milk, egg
:45:03. > :45:08.and possessed of an orange. The next comes together in minutes,
:45:08. > :45:18.unlike the cooking time. Then it is sealed with string and baking
:45:18. > :45:18.
:45:18. > :45:23.parchment. If I could borrow your Steaming for three-and-a-half hours
:45:23. > :45:27.might be a painful amount of time to wait, but it produces more even
:45:27. > :45:33.baking with no crust. The proof really is in the pudding. Let's be
:45:33. > :45:37.honest, I'm never going to be cast as a poor Victorian wife. But where
:45:37. > :45:47.Great British pudding is concerned I am a veritable Oliver Twist. I
:45:47. > :45:49.
:45:49. > :45:54.The pudding looked lovely, but it sounds quite taxing to make. There
:45:54. > :45:58.is an easier route? It's actually quite simple, it's just following
:45:58. > :46:05.the recipe. Traditionally, you would steam it. But you can use the
:46:05. > :46:08.same recipe and microwave it. Put the clingfilm on haplessly, because
:46:08. > :46:18.otherwise it collapses. If you microwave it you have to eat it
:46:18. > :46:21.
:46:21. > :46:26.straight away, and not leave it. It's actually an old naval recipe.
:46:26. > :46:33.It has run in it. It's the same as spotted dick but with rum and spice
:46:33. > :46:36.in it. Traditionally, puddings were done without deserts and it was
:46:36. > :46:40.only the Victorians that reduced the price of sugar and that is
:46:40. > :46:43.where the pudding used to become more popular. Now it has gone out
:46:43. > :46:49.of favour, but it is coming back the date for vengeance. It's
:46:49. > :46:55.usually got to be served with custard. That was a necessity?
:46:55. > :47:00.was invented by a British pharmacist. Canonise him! Alfred
:47:00. > :47:07.Bird invented it because his wife was allergic to egg. That is why
:47:07. > :47:12.the dried custard mix was invented. He also invented baking powder.
:47:12. > :47:19.Alfred Bird of Bird's custard? Absolutely. That is the yellow one.
:47:19. > :47:25.This is a French custard. English is done with vanilla. Most famously
:47:25. > :47:29.you can use it with custard. If it is done with whole eggs it is egg
:47:29. > :47:33.custard. Or you can take this mixture, put it into an ice-cream
:47:33. > :47:38.machine and you have ice-cream. just said that is lovely, but you
:47:38. > :47:45.said you don't like custard? think I am used to Mr Bird's
:47:45. > :47:50.custard. The bright yellow stuff with skin on it. Standard recipe, 8
:47:50. > :47:55.egg yolks will set one litre of liquid. A pint of cream, a pint of
:47:55. > :47:59.milk, ate a yolks and eight ounces of sugar. Thank you for one thing
:47:59. > :48:06.in particular, keeping these two quiet for a few minutes. This is
:48:06. > :48:10.incredible. Can we move on to Shrove Tuesday? What is the
:48:10. > :48:14.difference between a pancake and a crater? Basically the thickness.
:48:15. > :48:21.The French, you put more milk into it traditionally, for a thinner
:48:21. > :48:26.pancake. A larger pan. Tell us a few tips. You have to watch the
:48:26. > :48:30.show tomorrow. You are doing pancakes? I'm doing a masterclass
:48:30. > :48:36.on Saturday Kitchen. The most popular shows on television, one of
:48:36. > :48:41.the most successful, huge ratings. Who do you have tomorrow? Rhod
:48:41. > :48:45.Gilbert is facing food heaven and food health. Curry and chips and
:48:45. > :48:54.scallops. And we had a brilliant chef that uses no butter. I'm going
:48:54. > :49:02.to compensate by making a battered Kerry. Fantastic. Live tomorrow.
:49:02. > :49:06.Everybody has heard of honey bees, what about honey buzzards? For
:49:06. > :49:11.starters, they are not buzzards and they do not make honey. This is our
:49:11. > :49:16.favourite film, we watched it twice. Mike Dilger, over to you.
:49:16. > :49:20.Summer in Britain brings a very rare visitor to do words. Somewhere
:49:20. > :49:27.in the forest around me is the nesting site of a bird of prey that
:49:27. > :49:32.enjoys near mythical status. The magnificent honey buzzard. Although
:49:32. > :49:36.commonly found breeding in Europe, very few actually nest here. Those
:49:36. > :49:42.that do are so secretive that little is known about their
:49:42. > :49:46.movement. What we do know is that every year a small number of them
:49:46. > :49:49.risk their lives crossing the Sahara to get here. What route they
:49:49. > :49:56.take or exactly where they spend the winter we are only just
:49:56. > :49:59.beginning to find out. For the last 25 years, Steve Roberts and his
:49:59. > :50:05.colleague Malcolm have been recording any nest sites they can
:50:05. > :50:09.find around the country. I like my birds, but the honey buzzard is
:50:09. > :50:12.something I've hardly ever seen. Why are they so rare in Britain?
:50:12. > :50:16.They always will decline it didn't suit them in this country.
:50:16. > :50:19.Increasingly it seems there are other reasons for that. -- they
:50:20. > :50:24.always thought that the climate didn't suit them. Maybe it is that
:50:24. > :50:28.final sea crossing. It's a few jigsaw pieces in an incredibly
:50:29. > :50:33.complex puzzle. So little is known about the bird? It's not just that,
:50:33. > :50:36.a lot of what was written before is patently wrong. It has been
:50:36. > :50:40.regurgitated over the years. We would like to think we are shedding
:50:40. > :50:46.light into those dark corners. We are hoping to put some of that
:50:46. > :50:50.right. One misconception concerns the name. They are not in fact
:50:50. > :50:56.buzzards, but more closely related to kites. And they don't eat honey,
:50:56. > :51:04.either. While other birds of prey feed on small mammals, birds or
:51:04. > :51:09.fish, they eat something rather more extraordinary. Wasps. Of
:51:09. > :51:17.course, there is no honey in a wasp nest. What they are really after is
:51:17. > :51:22.the juicy grubs. Here in South Wales, in this Forestry Commission
:51:22. > :51:30.would, a new site is being kept under surveillance. Today I am
:51:30. > :51:33.going to be helping Steve with the tricks. This is honey bowler that -
:51:33. > :51:39.- honey buzzard television. We are watching them live, they are about
:51:39. > :51:45.100 metres away. They are just gorgeous. Look! The female.
:51:45. > :51:55.female has just come in, yes. is she doing? She has brought in a
:51:55. > :51:56.
:51:56. > :51:59.bit of the wasp nest. Look at those yellow eyes. And it is a round eye,
:51:59. > :52:05.without the fierce expression that a hawk has got. It's very different
:52:05. > :52:10.to a buzzard. Short legs? That is because they use them for digging,
:52:10. > :52:15.rather than grasping fast-moving pre. I cannot take my eyes off the
:52:15. > :52:20.screen. It's priceless footage. Watching the birds is so
:52:20. > :52:23.captivating that it is easy to forget the important job in hand,
:52:23. > :52:33.to get the rings on. As soon as they are alone it is action
:52:33. > :52:39.
:52:39. > :52:49.With no way of telling when the parents will return, we have to be
:52:49. > :52:54.
:52:54. > :53:02.quick. You are not pulling very hard! It's gorgeous. Look at that.
:53:02. > :53:06.First, a general health check. A then the all-important ringing.
:53:06. > :53:11.These coloured plants contain a unique code revealing where and
:53:11. > :53:19.when they hatched. Let's have a look at his sibling. He's got a bit
:53:19. > :53:23.of an attitude, this one. Job done. Back up to the nest. If it all goes
:53:23. > :53:26.well, within a few weeks they will be undertaking the extraordinary
:53:26. > :53:32.non-stop flight to Africa. Hopefully they will be tempted back
:53:32. > :53:37.next year. Our changing climate might mean more insects. That means
:53:37. > :53:45.lots more Wasps. And that equates to better hunting for these guys.
:53:45. > :53:51.If it eats Wasps, it is my kind of bird!
:53:51. > :53:55.Two legends, Tony Blackburn and David Hamilton, everyone. Before we
:53:55. > :54:03.talk about what is happening tonight, what is happening tomorrow
:54:03. > :54:09.night? Well, it is Sport Relief tomorrow, 7 o'clock on BBC One.
:54:09. > :54:13.Let's Dance? Yes. We are going to do and that the routine. After all
:54:13. > :54:16.these years of knowing each other, we have decided to do it. And you
:54:16. > :54:21.had been rehearsing? I don't think there is a future career in dancing,
:54:21. > :54:26.but it might be comedic. It's also competitive, you get to go through
:54:26. > :54:30.to the final? We are not sure about that. I'm already voting for them.
:54:30. > :54:34.There are five acts tomorrow night. I think you have a brilliant chance.
:54:34. > :54:42.You will see them like you have never seen them before. I can't
:54:42. > :54:47.wait. That is live tomorrow, BBC One, 7 o'clock. And Steve. How is
:54:47. > :54:51.he? He's all right. We're going to see you in action shortly. Before
:54:51. > :54:56.that, a special routine with these amazing ladies, the Great Britain
:54:56. > :55:06.rhythmic gymnastics team. Before Tony and David tried in... They are
:55:06. > :55:06.
:55:06. > :55:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:55:59. > :56:08.Relax! How are you? Rachel, how I do? Introduce us to began. We have
:56:08. > :56:15.Louise, Annie, Jade, Frankie and Jade. There is a tone of sadness,
:56:15. > :56:20.you just missed out on the Olympics by... 0.2. 0.2 what? Points.
:56:20. > :56:26.there any chance of you redeeming this? Is there an appeal? We have
:56:26. > :56:31.put in an appeal. We will find out at the end of the month. And what
:56:31. > :56:35.did you lose out on, that a 0.2? What could you have done to secure
:56:35. > :56:40.your place? The routine we did on Tuesday was not the routine that we
:56:40. > :56:43.had originally... It didn't go as we wanted it to go. There were few
:56:43. > :56:46.mistakes that could have been corrected. We went into the
:56:46. > :56:50.competition believing that we could get the score on any of the three
:56:50. > :56:55.days. We were told that was not good enough. We got the score on
:56:55. > :56:59.the last Wednesday, we beat the qualification then. So there is not
:56:59. > :57:05.another Team GB, it is you or no one? Yes. Let's hope the appeal is
:57:05. > :57:08.successful. If it isn't, how will you progress? At the moment we are
:57:08. > :57:11.training for the European Championships at the end of May in
:57:11. > :57:17.Russia. We will carry on training with the support of the University
:57:17. > :57:21.of Bath and our coach, Sarah Moon. You that really upset. In sporting
:57:21. > :57:25.terms, it must have been devastating? It was difficult.
:57:25. > :57:29.happened when you realised you haven't made it? We didn't really
:57:29. > :57:33.know until Tuesday. They said it was not good enough. We have worked
:57:33. > :57:36.so hard and given that so much for this that it was difficult. We are
:57:36. > :57:41.still training and we are hoping for the appeal. What are the
:57:41. > :57:44.realistic chances of that coming off? We don't know. Fingers crossed.
:57:44. > :57:49.Speaking of training you have been doing a different kind of training.
:57:49. > :57:53.How have they been doing? Are they getting it? They are really good.
:57:53. > :57:58.They are getting it! We are going to get it in a moment. I don't
:57:58. > :58:03.think we are going to help their chances. That is almost all for
:58:03. > :58:08.tonight. Thanks to Ade, The Dales is on ITV one on Monday, 27th
:58:08. > :58:14.February. And The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff is on BBC Two this Monday at
