:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:18. > :00:21.With us tonight is a woman who not only worked a double shift
:00:21. > :00:27.presenting the Olympics and Paralympics but also managed to
:00:27. > :00:37.create the Games' most iconic celebration. Please welcome the
:00:37. > :00:43.
:00:43. > :00:47.inventor of the Mobot, it's Clare I heard my dress read there! Sorry,
:00:47. > :00:52.it should come with a health warning. Not the dress, the
:00:52. > :00:59.celebration. There's all the stock of legacy, that is the perfect
:00:59. > :01:03.example. How did you convince Mo to do it? He came on to a TV show, and
:01:03. > :01:13.James Corden said, we are going to invent a celebration, and you have
:01:13. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:19.to use a 20 win gold. I suggested the Emaar, and then James called it
:01:19. > :01:24.the Mobot. It is a good story, but having seen these picture today end
:01:24. > :01:29.the paper from the 1940s... Have you seen these cursed my kit is a
:01:29. > :01:32.girls' school, Royal Wanstead School. They are actually doing the
:01:33. > :01:41.Mobot. Are they doing it for posture? There's something very
:01:41. > :01:47.strange going on, it gets even weirder. They did this as well! It
:01:47. > :01:54.is Bolt! Does the school still exist? If you were one of those
:01:54. > :01:58.girls, if he were one of those girls, write to us. We will find
:01:58. > :02:05.out if you are still doing it. love it, it is history as well as
:02:05. > :02:08.now. Incredible. A worrying trend is seemingly spreading across the
:02:08. > :02:12.British countryside, a resurgence in poaching. The poachers are
:02:12. > :02:18.having a dramatic effect in one part of Scotland, so Simon Boazman
:02:18. > :02:22.has been to try and then down. Deep in the heart of the Scottish
:02:22. > :02:28.borders lies thousands of acres of prime forestry and farmland, home
:02:28. > :02:33.to many species of wildlife. But this rural idyll has recently been
:02:33. > :02:38.shattered by claims of extreme animal cruelty, dear coursing,
:02:38. > :02:42.where man and dog come together in the name of sport. -- deer. It is a
:02:42. > :02:51.pretty barbaric sport. These pictures show what happens when a
:02:51. > :02:58.dog gets hold of a deer. Just last month, two were found mauled in
:02:58. > :03:02.exactly the same way. Gamekeeper Eddie Bell knows this is when the
:03:02. > :03:07.poachers are starting to hand. How are they doing it? They are using
:03:07. > :03:15.motorised vehicles and high-powered lamps to basically dazzle them and
:03:15. > :03:19.then they chased them with lurcher, Greyhound type dogs, kill them.
:03:19. > :03:23.Evidence of this so-called sport has been found nationwide. Recently
:03:23. > :03:28.on the west coast of Scotland this dead deer was found hanging from a
:03:28. > :03:33.tree covered in dog bites. And in Edinburgh this summer, a man was
:03:33. > :03:39.convicted of two charges of illegal possession of a deer carcass after
:03:39. > :03:41.a mutilated body was found in his tenement flat. This alarming
:03:41. > :03:48.footage of the courses caught in the act was captured on camera in
:03:48. > :03:52.Northamptonshire. It illustrates graphically what the deer face. It
:03:53. > :03:56.shows a 4x4 dividing the head and then releasing dogs to chase the
:03:56. > :04:06.tiring deer. It ends with the dogs and men descending upon the
:04:06. > :04:06.
:04:06. > :04:10.There are more than one million wild deer in the UK, and this
:04:10. > :04:14.estate is home to 500. It is difficult to know how many are
:04:14. > :04:17.poached nationally, because they tend to remove evidence and there
:04:17. > :04:22.are no national statistics, but Eddie is worried about the numbers
:04:22. > :04:28.being poached from his estate. Parts of the estate, I have lost
:04:29. > :04:32.40%, gone. As much as that? Yes. You can tell the behaviour of the
:04:32. > :04:38.animal as well, normally they are quite trusting, but now as you
:04:38. > :04:41.drive towards them, they are gone. Now Eddie has joined forces with
:04:41. > :04:46.the local police in Jedward to stamp out causing before it takes
:04:46. > :04:53.hold. It is the 6th time we have been out on an operation targeting
:04:53. > :04:56.deer coursing. We are covering this whole area here, looking for any
:04:56. > :05:05.kind of lights, any kind of movement, anything you think is
:05:05. > :05:11.suspicious, call us in. Police wildlife crime officer Rory
:05:11. > :05:14.Hamilton leads the night-time sortie and after hearing about some
:05:14. > :05:20.suspicious activity in the area. One of our spotters has seen a very
:05:20. > :05:25.bright lights on a hill. On arrival, or they find there are some old
:05:25. > :05:30.tyre tracks and no sign of any poachers. There are a couple of
:05:30. > :05:35.puddles up there, nothing has driven up. What is the motivation
:05:36. > :05:42.behind it? Why are they doing it? It is a bit of sport, in inverted
:05:42. > :05:46.commas. It is a barbaric crime, dogs killing deer, it is horrible.
:05:46. > :05:51.We have had some cases where we have caught people appear Mark Eley
:05:51. > :05:55.attempting to catch deer. The difficult thing is trying to prove
:05:55. > :05:58.that. That is the problem that game keepers and police face. Despite
:05:58. > :06:04.evidence that it is on the increase, it is hard to catch the culprits
:06:04. > :06:10.when it most poachers use quiet and hearts to detect methods. Is that
:06:10. > :06:15.two deer now? Yes. They are just staring at us. The light dazzles
:06:15. > :06:19.them. The dogs are trained to run straight down the beam. They are on
:06:19. > :06:22.the deer before they realise they are coming. In the case of the
:06:22. > :06:27.Northamptonshire criminals, three men were arrested that same night
:06:27. > :06:34.and were given suspended prison sentences, community services and
:06:34. > :06:36.were ordered to compensate the farmer. In Scotland, it is 4am and
:06:36. > :06:41.the teams are calling it a night. This time they have not been lucky,
:06:41. > :06:45.but they will be out again soon. just proves that it is not as easy
:06:45. > :06:51.as you would think it would be. Will you keep doing this? He ate,
:06:51. > :06:57.we will keep going out, Different nights, different times. -- yeah.
:06:57. > :07:01.You have got to do what you can and try your best. Let's talk about
:07:01. > :07:05.your lovely, beautiful book, it is all about the animals in your life,
:07:05. > :07:09.horses and dogs, and they help you recall stories from your childhood
:07:09. > :07:17.and early years, but it is called My Animals And Other Family. White
:07:17. > :07:22.Jews that title? Well, I met Gerald Durrell's widow, and I asked her, I
:07:22. > :07:26.said I had the idea in my head, and I did not know whether it would be
:07:26. > :07:30.a factual book about different breeds of dog, or whether I would
:07:30. > :07:35.write a childhood memoir. I said, can I flit the title of his book?
:07:35. > :07:38.She said, of course you can, and she was very gracious about it. I
:07:38. > :07:42.thought if I could make every chapter a different animal, I am
:07:42. > :07:47.not writing about myself at all, and of course they came first all
:07:47. > :07:51.through my life. Interestingly, your birth here was a big year for
:07:51. > :07:56.the whole family, but you were not the headline act. Even now, if you
:07:56. > :08:04.asked my father what happened in 1971, he will say that Mill Reef
:08:04. > :08:10.won the Derby, the King George. And what else happened? That is 1972, I
:08:11. > :08:14.was born in 1971, so that is after Mill Reef recovered. He broke his
:08:14. > :08:19.leg in 1972, and an American vet came over and did an incredibly
:08:19. > :08:23.complex operation. He was not able to race again, but they saved his
:08:23. > :08:28.life. Oh, this is John Hallam, looked after him throughout his
:08:28. > :08:34.racing career! He is still pretty sore, the plaster cast has come off,
:08:34. > :08:37.and he is going away to A* at the National Stud in Newmarket. That is
:08:37. > :08:43.my dad over on the left. That is all the locals coming to wish him
:08:43. > :08:49.well. I promise you, he was a major celebrity. Frankel is a very well-
:08:49. > :08:56.known horse, Mill Reef was the Justin Bieber of his day. As Matt
:08:56. > :08:59.deer said, he was the number one love in your dad's life. Oh, yes.
:08:59. > :09:07.You talk about how hard it was to get attention for a dad because he
:09:07. > :09:11.was so busy and the animal's right very high in his mind. Even now, we
:09:11. > :09:17.filmed a feature, I said to my dad, I was sitting there with my brother,
:09:17. > :09:25.I asked my dad what happened in 1972? Mill Reef broke his leg. And
:09:25. > :09:29.what else happened? And he goes, was he born? Yes! And he is... I
:09:29. > :09:35.mean, Mill Reef changed his life, changed all of our lives. What he
:09:35. > :09:40.was and how could he was, but also his owner was a very generous man.
:09:40. > :09:44.Was your dad happy with the way you have written all this down? Height
:09:44. > :09:48.was a bit worried about him reading it, because I'm quite hard on him,
:09:48. > :09:52.but I explained that you have to go through me desperate for his
:09:52. > :09:58.attention and in not giving it to me to make sense of when I finally
:09:58. > :10:04.get it, that it matters. Even when you started presenting, he told you
:10:04. > :10:09.that you were nodding too much. What did he make of your Olympics
:10:09. > :10:13.coverage? He was right about that. I do not know, I did not talk to
:10:13. > :10:18.him a lot, certainly not every night, and my mother was very
:10:19. > :10:24.reticent to tell me other than she said BA text saying, I thought you
:10:24. > :10:28.were doing quite well, but everyone was raving about you at Goodwood. I
:10:28. > :10:34.was not looking at the papers, that was fine by me. Dad was good about
:10:34. > :10:39.it, he did say, what were you doing at the boxing? He was very proud of
:10:39. > :10:42.you in 1990 when he became champion lady rider, we have got brilliant
:10:42. > :10:46.footage of You Racing Princess Anne, and she was not very happy at the
:10:46. > :10:51.end of this. I am on the right of the picture, Princess Anne is in
:10:51. > :10:57.the middle, similar colours. Gosh, you cannot see it from that angle.
:10:57. > :11:01.Look at you! This is my face when the result is announced, because I
:11:01. > :11:07.am feeling totally ashamed, because I nearly killed Princess Anne on
:11:07. > :11:14.the first bend. I did not do it on purpose, I would like to say again!
:11:14. > :11:18.I did not do it on purpose, but the air, I write about it. Actually, I
:11:18. > :11:21.will start blushing about it, it was terrifying. Some brilliant
:11:22. > :11:27.stories in the book, well worth reading. Speaking of books, I have
:11:27. > :11:32.racked up a few library fines in my time, but I have got nothing on the
:11:32. > :11:36.man in our next story. Phil Tufnell is on the trail of a thief that the
:11:36. > :11:41.police could not wait to throw the book out. William Jacks was not
:11:41. > :11:47.your average career criminal. His Wanted poster should have read,
:11:47. > :11:51.public libraries enemy number one. He studied economics at Cambridge
:11:51. > :11:58.and became a chartered accountant, but ultimately it was a different
:11:58. > :12:02.type of book he had his eye on. At university, Jacques got a taste for
:12:02. > :12:06.antique books and saw a get-rich- quick scheme. The general public
:12:06. > :12:11.would never get access to these rare tomes, but by winning the
:12:11. > :12:15.trust of rare libraries, he got access to their valuable asset. His
:12:15. > :12:20.method was not sophisticated. The scam was generally to stuff books
:12:20. > :12:25.under his jacket and walk out of the libraries that trusted him.
:12:25. > :12:29.Over a three-year period, Jacques stole an estimated �1.1 million
:12:29. > :12:33.worth of rare academic books, including first editions from Sir
:12:34. > :12:41.Isaac Newton and Galileo. He sold his blunder through legitimate
:12:41. > :12:47.auction houses, but in 1999 and obscure volume was bid for by a
:12:48. > :12:54.fledgling T11 brought into book. saw this book, The Pure Logic Of
:12:54. > :12:58.Quality, I bought it for �120, and I took it to a dealer. He said, can
:12:58. > :13:03.you leave it with me for a few days? I thought, it must be good.
:13:03. > :13:07.The delay knew the book had been tampered with. Read books often
:13:07. > :13:17.have identifying marks on the spine, special labels and stamping on the
:13:17. > :13:18.
:13:18. > :13:21.pages. But the book that Carl Cort had all three removed. It was all
:13:21. > :13:26.there for him, it was obvious the book had been stolen. Having had
:13:26. > :13:31.his suspicions raised, the dealer turned detective. He knew only six
:13:31. > :13:33.copies of the book were in circulation, and one was in the
:13:34. > :13:38.world renowned London Library. He asked them to check their shelves.
:13:38. > :13:42.Lo and behold, their copy of the book was missing. Then he caught
:13:42. > :13:46.the auctioneers who had sold the book. They told in the cellar was
:13:46. > :13:50.one of their regulars, William Jacques. One more call from the
:13:50. > :13:55.dealer to the London library revealed that William Jacques was a
:13:55. > :13:58.member. Joining the dots together, he formed a picture that the police
:13:58. > :14:03.became very interested in. The game was up and he found himself in
:14:03. > :14:07.front of a judge. During the trial, Jacques revealed little about
:14:07. > :14:11.himself, except his literary tastes were more rip-roaring than his loot.
:14:11. > :14:15.He came to court every day clutching a Wilbur Smith adventure
:14:15. > :14:19.novel, and it wasn't even a first edition. He denied he had stolen
:14:19. > :14:24.the books, but he was found guilty and handed a four-year prison
:14:24. > :14:28.sentence. Instead of turning over a new leaf on release, Jacques simply
:14:28. > :14:34.started a fresh chapter of pilfering, but because he was now
:14:34. > :14:37.the country's most recognised book thief, he returned to his old
:14:37. > :14:41.haunts like the British Library incognito. He grew a beard to
:14:41. > :14:45.disguise himself, but the staff recognised them and asked him to
:14:45. > :14:51.leave. So we found a different place to steal books, the Royal
:14:51. > :14:55.Horticultural Society's library. He told them his name was something
:14:55. > :14:58.else and helped himself to 13 volumes of a rare book about
:14:58. > :15:05.camellias. The staff smelt a rat as they saw him gingerly leaving with
:15:05. > :15:09.a big bulge under his tweet jacket. They called the police. On trial
:15:09. > :15:13.for the second time, the judge threw the book at him, handing him
:15:13. > :15:17.another three-and-a-half-year sentence. The only library Jacques
:15:17. > :15:21.as a ticket for now is the prison one. When he is released this time,
:15:21. > :15:24.he will find his former stamping ground is very different. Libraries
:15:24. > :15:29.and the book trade are now more security conscious, with book theft
:15:29. > :15:33.and fencing being much harder to carry out. There are still book
:15:33. > :15:37.blagger is willing to take the risk, but the antiquarian booksellers
:15:37. > :15:41.Association is at the forefront of stamping it out. Their online
:15:41. > :15:45.stolen books database helps libraries and collectors globally
:15:45. > :15:54.detail and to let the book world to high-waisted books the moment they
:15:54. > :15:58.People value books for the knowledge inside them. You're
:15:58. > :16:04.always going to get the light- fingered minority who want to make
:16:04. > :16:07.a fast buck, but as security methods improve they might find
:16:07. > :16:13.their liberty shelved sooner than they think. It's unbelievable he
:16:13. > :16:16.went back the second time. I tell you what else is, Clare balding,
:16:16. > :16:22.until people have read your book they'll never believe how naughty
:16:22. > :16:32.you were as a little girl. I was. You had hot fingers. I was a bit of
:16:32. > :16:35.a tea leaf. Did you say hot fingers. I got caught at school stealing
:16:35. > :16:38.things. You liked foreign coins weirdly? I was younger than that.
:16:39. > :16:41.That was stealing money from my father's dressingroom and I stole
:16:41. > :16:47.dollars because I thought he wouldn't notice it and I went into
:16:47. > :16:51.the village shop to try to pay for sweets with dollars and tried to
:16:51. > :16:54.persuade the shopkeeper she was getting a very good exchange rate,
:16:54. > :16:58.but she didn't want them, so I went to the bank and I didn't have an
:16:58. > :17:04.account. Then I got caught. Very forward thinking for a child.
:17:04. > :17:09.Exactly. Doing it to get pencils and pens? But, it's still not right.
:17:09. > :17:14.You have to learn that it's not right. A couple of weeks ago we met
:17:14. > :17:19.a man who was handing out envelopes containing �1,000 to people in the
:17:19. > :17:23.street who were nice and kind. It inspired us to ask viewers about
:17:23. > :17:33.the small acts of kindness that take place every day and make the
:17:33. > :17:33.
:17:33. > :17:39.world a slightly better place. took the children out for lunch and
:17:39. > :17:46.we went to a restaurant. We had a long wait for food. I had no toys
:17:46. > :17:49.to keep the children occupied, but I had a Timble, so we played across
:17:49. > :17:54.the table. A man commented that it was nice to see someone playing
:17:54. > :17:58.with their children and not seeing the kids playing computer games.
:17:58. > :18:01.The gentleman came over and basically said please don't be
:18:01. > :18:07.embarrassed I would like to pay for your meal and before I could say
:18:07. > :18:11.thank you he had gone. I guess I would like to say thank you very
:18:11. > :18:14.much. I had finished work. It was a Saturday. I got out of the office
:18:14. > :18:18.late and all I could think was I had to get to the shops before they
:18:18. > :18:22.closed and make the sales. I jumped into the car and ran down to the
:18:22. > :18:25.shops and started shopping and worked my way down the list and I
:18:25. > :18:29.thought how much time do I have in the car. I thought I didn't put any
:18:29. > :18:34.time on the car. I ran back as quick as I could and it looked like
:18:34. > :18:38.I had a ticket. I was thinking another fine, I can't afford this.
:18:38. > :18:42.I realised it wasn't a fine, someone had put some time on the
:18:42. > :18:51.car for me. I thought, wow, there are some good people out there. I
:18:51. > :18:55.would like to say a very good -- big thank you. I first experienced
:18:55. > :18:59.a random act of Al-Qaedaness in America. Driving up to the toll
:18:59. > :19:03.booth and the chap just said, "It's fine, the car in front has already
:19:04. > :19:07.paid your toll." When I came back to the UK I thought it would be
:19:07. > :19:11.great to bring something like that back. I was visiting friends in
:19:11. > :19:17.Wales and I had to cross the bridge, so we paid for the car behind us.
:19:17. > :19:23.The toll operator was a little confused but thought it was really
:19:24. > :19:26.nice. The car behind gave us a toot and a wave. I hope very much the
:19:26. > :19:32.people behind appreciated the random act of kindness and perhaps
:19:32. > :19:36.they'll pass it on one day. bridge is very expensive these days.
:19:36. > :19:40.Those are all stories by viewers. If you would like to get your face
:19:40. > :19:46.on telly then you've got another chance next week. We would like to
:19:47. > :19:51.hear about your pets' distructive streaks. Pets cost us around �600
:19:51. > :19:56.in damages over their lifetime. E- mail us your name and story and
:19:56. > :20:02.we'll show them next week. Clare, plenty of animals in the book. Who
:20:02. > :20:06.was the most distructive? Shetland Pony, when I brought her
:20:06. > :20:10.into the kitchen. That wasn't her fault. Various dogs have chewed
:20:10. > :20:14.thing and Archie, my dog, who looks like one of the dogs in the film,
:20:14. > :20:20.he will destroy things that we buy for him really quickly and
:20:20. > :20:25.sometimes things that are mine. My slippers, that kind of thing.
:20:25. > :20:30.a very busy summer, but from the highlights you've said it was an
:20:30. > :20:35.interview with Bert Le Clos after his son, Chad, had beaten Michael
:20:35. > :20:41.Phelps. Let's remind ourselves of that interview. What a performance.
:20:41. > :20:45.Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable! I've never been so
:20:45. > :20:53.happy many my life. It's unbelievable. Look at him. He's
:20:53. > :21:01.beautiful. Look at this. What a beautiful boy. Sorry, sorry. Look
:21:01. > :21:09.at him. Look at him. I love you. Oh, my God, every time I see myself.
:21:09. > :21:14.This is live. No, no, no, you're fine. It was amazing. I saw him in
:21:14. > :21:22.Westfield the next night and he says, "Clar, come here, my friend."
:21:22. > :21:27.I said to him to have him on again before the end of the Games. He had
:21:27. > :21:31.so much love and emotion and wanted to share it. It was brilliant.
:21:31. > :21:39.hasn't stopped want ing to share it. You know what, he joins us live
:21:39. > :21:47.right now. There's Bert. Hello. Bert, how are you doing? Clare,
:21:47. > :21:52.hello. Hello my darling. I'm crying again. What's happened since? You
:21:52. > :22:02.must have had so much attention and Chad too? Well, I just want to tell
:22:02. > :22:09.
:22:09. > :22:13.you you have changed my life, but 30 years too late! So much more fun
:22:13. > :22:20.now? Bert, millions of people saw the interview on television. Just
:22:20. > :22:23.tell Clare what happened when you went to Mauritius? We went to an
:22:23. > :22:30.exclusive place where we were invited to and I was born there. We
:22:30. > :22:36.went back there and there were about ten British couples and I was
:22:36. > :22:46.by myself and my wife and they were saying, "There's Bert from the
:22:46. > :22:46.
:22:46. > :22:50.telly." One woman she came to me and said, "Do you recognise this
:22:50. > :22:57.photograph?" she put it in front of me. I thought, these are the two
:22:57. > :23:05.beautiful girls in Wimbledon. It were your nieces and they had
:23:05. > :23:09.emailed them to her. Everybody recognises me now. Excellent, Bert.
:23:09. > :23:15.Thanks Clare. Bert, since you've been back in South Africa, we hear
:23:15. > :23:25.you've been doing some bedtime reading, is that right? Well, you
:23:25. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:32.won't believe it, Clare, but here it is. Let me tell you something my
:23:32. > :23:40.darling, I heard you had a book and I had to read it. If I was your
:23:40. > :23:45.father I would have given ten for you. Bert, honestly I've missed you
:23:45. > :23:48.so much. That has made my day to see you there. I really hope you
:23:48. > :23:54.enjoy it. At some point I need to sign that for you. We'll sort that
:23:54. > :24:00.out. Bert, before you go, if you are still there, will you give us
:24:00. > :24:04.an, "unbelievable."? I want to say to everybody in London, firstly
:24:04. > :24:08.thanks to Clare, because she's my queen and all the Brits for
:24:08. > :24:12.treating me and my family so specially. I have a special place
:24:12. > :24:22.in my heart for the British people now and I just want to say your
:24:22. > :24:30.book is unbelievable! APPLAUSE
:24:30. > :24:34.I will have to wipe Jilly Cooper from the front cover. How do you
:24:34. > :24:38.follow that? The One Show is trying to win four categories in this
:24:38. > :24:42.year's Cannington village show. Last night we saw Anita entering
:24:42. > :24:51.her radishes and for the jam competition we have chosen Mike
:24:51. > :24:54.Dilger. Let's see how he got on in training. I think I've got the
:24:54. > :24:58.toughest challenge of all, because I've been entered into the
:24:58. > :25:03.competition for best jam. I think I'm going to need help. Step
:25:03. > :25:07.forward Vivien Lloyd, a former world marmalade champion.
:25:07. > :25:13.Professional jam producer and teacher of jam making. I need to
:25:13. > :25:17.start with the basics. If you're starting out with jam making try
:25:17. > :25:24.raspberry. They have a medium amount of pectin, so they tend to
:25:24. > :25:28.set quite easily. What on earth is that? She's lost me already. Pectin
:25:28. > :25:33.is a gum-like substance that's found in the walls of fruit. It's
:25:34. > :25:41.the gel that you get in jam. you turn a jam-making novice into
:25:41. > :25:45.somebody who could enter a village fate in a day? I definitely can do
:25:45. > :25:51.that. Jam needs sugar, weight for weight as much as the fruit, so it
:25:51. > :25:58.was only in the Victorian era when the value of sugar dropped that jam
:25:58. > :26:06.started to become available to the masses. I'm so excited. Trendy jam
:26:06. > :26:13.combinations like prom gran night and figure are not for this show. -
:26:13. > :26:17.- pomegranate and fig are not for this show. These are full of pectin
:26:17. > :26:24.and I'm using home-grown raspberries, but the rain hasn't
:26:24. > :26:27.helped. This is the worst year I've known in making preserves. The
:26:27. > :26:34.apples are small because they haven't had enough sunshine.
:26:34. > :26:38.great, not the best year to enter a competition, but let's crack on.
:26:38. > :26:46.The apples are cooked with water over a low heat for ten minutes and
:26:46. > :26:55.then mashed into a puree. Glorious.. It's just like baby food. Now, how
:26:55. > :27:00.about this for a top tip? The gran lated sugar goes into a hot oven.
:27:00. > :27:05.It will mix easily into the fruit, so bring on the raspberries. They
:27:05. > :27:10.are going to be cooked very, very gently. The idea is to soften the
:27:10. > :27:20.fruit and any pectin in the fruit will be released into the pan.
:27:20. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:26.all about peck tin. English -- pectin. It's in with the apples and
:27:26. > :27:35.the sugar. There might only be three ingredients but timing is
:27:35. > :27:39.crucial. After ten minutes on a slow simmer, we turn up the heat.
:27:39. > :27:43.Has it reached the right temperature to set? To be exact
:27:43. > :27:51.it's 104.5 degrees C. Get it wrong and the whole possess my is a
:27:51. > :27:59.disaster, but if it's too hot the flavour is ruined. Now the most
:27:59. > :28:05.crucial test of all. Setting point. OK. Now, many makers would use a
:28:05. > :28:11.sugar thermometer, but not viv. She relies on instincts. I take some of
:28:11. > :28:16.the jam out of the pan and what I'm looking for is for it to suspend on
:28:16. > :28:20.the side of the spoon. There we go. That tells me that the jam has set.
:28:20. > :28:27.Thank goodness, but we still need to remove the scum from the top,
:28:27. > :28:32.created by the impuerts in the sugar. For competition, it's a no-
:28:32. > :28:36.no. A winning jam has a bright colour and the consistency is
:28:36. > :28:41.spreadable and the flavour has to be a combination of fruit and sugar.
:28:41. > :28:50.It goes into jars. To seal it's a screw lid or wax top. Don't even
:28:50. > :28:54.think of using bows, because it creates moisture. What happens if I
:28:54. > :29:03.don't come first, will you be cross with me? Yes! No pressure there,
:29:03. > :29:10.then! We have some of Mike's jam right in the studio. It's really
