:00:28. > :00:31.Hooray! Hooray! Here we go again. Hello, and thank you for tuning
:00:31. > :00:36.into another Friday one-hour One Show with Alex Jones and Chris
:00:36. > :00:44.Evans. Tonight, any to meets some amazing giants on the streets of
:00:44. > :00:49.Liverpool. Many magicians will astound us with their hocus-pocus.
:00:49. > :00:52.You see, I say that all might, let's do that all might. Jay
:00:52. > :01:02.unleashes his hunter-gatherer and digs up free food in the wilds of
:01:02. > :01:04.
:01:04. > :01:08.Wales. And we have got two great guests. They are not only at the
:01:08. > :01:14.top of their profession, but also from the top of the alphabet.
:01:14. > :01:20.an award-winning comedian who has toured as a Tooth Fairy and a Spexy
:01:20. > :01:23.Beast and is now a camp chat show champ. Anne Beavis and award-
:01:23. > :01:33.winning actress who stole the screen in Secrets And Lies, little
:01:33. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:54.Good evening. Welcome. Nice to be here. I am trying to breathe in,
:01:54. > :02:04.because the shirt is a bit tight. Here for one hour. You're joking! I
:02:04. > :02:08.
:02:08. > :02:16.will undo my bottom. There we go. - - my button. You share something in
:02:16. > :02:21.common. You have never met, but you both suffer from nerves. I should
:02:21. > :02:28.be on a stretcher before stepping on stage. I am so frightened. But
:02:28. > :02:35.the minute I step on stage, I am fine. I get all four wind. And then
:02:35. > :02:45.I get the feeling that I have wet myself. Just before I go on stage.
:02:45. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:50.Might do wet myself. -- well, I do wet myself. Around 32,000 people
:02:50. > :02:56.will be starting to feel butterflies round about now because
:02:56. > :03:00.it is the London Marathon on Sunday morning. You have run the marathon
:03:00. > :03:07.three times. Yes. But you also practised the London Marathon, but
:03:07. > :03:11.not on the streets of London. treadmill. I would have the TV and
:03:11. > :03:17.I would be on my treadmill. This is why I was asked to do it. They
:03:17. > :03:25.thought I had gone 26 miles, but I had only done about five. What was
:03:25. > :03:29.your method? Isn't it true that the London Marathon is on on Sunday
:03:29. > :03:35.morning and you would turn it on TV and you would run until the first
:03:35. > :03:41.person crossed the line. Yes, for two-and-a-half hours. But I have
:03:41. > :03:48.only travel five miles, whereas they have travelled 26. In fairness,
:03:48. > :03:56.that is still a lot. And you did it for real. It took me a fortnight
:03:56. > :04:05.each time. And how about you? Exercise? We do not get on. People
:04:05. > :04:09.do not believe it, but after years of mincing I have got a bad leg. I
:04:09. > :04:15.have physiotherapy because with my walking, that is really tight.
:04:15. > :04:22.Honestly, I just walk round in circles. Are you out of kilter with
:04:22. > :04:27.yourself? I am, honestly. More from them as the show continues. Tonight,
:04:27. > :04:31.we would like to see your best marathon finish line photo.
:04:31. > :04:36.marathon will do. The more exhausted you look, the better, and
:04:36. > :04:41.we will show some later. Now, to the streets of Liverpool, where
:04:41. > :04:47.something incredible is happening on an enormous scale. A Anita Rani
:04:47. > :04:51.has been there as they prepare for an invasion of giant proportions.
:04:51. > :04:55.See Order see is a story of love, loss and Reunion on a gigantic
:04:55. > :05:00.scale. -- Sea Odyssey. It is inspired by a little girl who wrote
:05:00. > :05:03.a letter to her father on the Titanic. And now her time-
:05:03. > :05:13.travelling uncle has sworn to scour the sea for 100 years to retrieve
:05:13. > :05:17.the letter and give it back to her. Magical creatures and 50 ft giants.
:05:17. > :05:22.Pioneering French theatre group Royal Deluxe are known for sending
:05:22. > :05:26.cities around the world to an astonished standstill. And now
:05:26. > :05:35.their creations are emerging from the depths of the Mersey. I wonder
:05:35. > :05:41.what kind of mind it would take to think up something as inventive.
:05:41. > :05:51.You are the artistic director of the Sea Odyssey. I think. Why have
:05:51. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:05.you picked Liverpool? Liverpool is My work is not a carnival. There is
:06:05. > :06:10.no doubt he is a creative genius, but I am slightly confused right
:06:10. > :06:13.now. Essentially, what I am getting is that he wants to do more than
:06:13. > :06:21.just entertain the city of Liverpool. He wants to bring them
:06:21. > :06:26.all together, whether you are a red or blue. The giant stars are
:06:26. > :06:32.walking 23 miles around Liverpool. It is the biggest logistical
:06:32. > :06:36.operation this city has ever staged. You cannot walk with giants around
:06:36. > :06:41.Liverpool without making a mess. What is that? We believe that
:06:41. > :06:45.plates have started to move beneath the earth. When Royal De Luxe come
:06:45. > :06:49.into the city, things like this start to happen all over in the
:06:49. > :06:54.build-up before the event. What an absolutely brilliant and crazy
:06:54. > :06:57.thing for Liverpool to decide to do. It has been the most incredible
:06:57. > :07:01.event in terms of how many communities have got involved.
:07:01. > :07:08.There have been loads of kids involved in writing letters. The
:07:08. > :07:13.amount of services that have gone on to make it happen... I got
:07:13. > :07:18.completely drenched. This is just a tiny taste of what you can expect
:07:18. > :07:25.over the next few days. Under cover of darkness, the Giants are moved
:07:25. > :07:30.into position. It is massive, huge. And the shroud has come off.
:07:30. > :07:35.Brilliant! Check out those boots, wicked. There is a lot of pressure
:07:35. > :07:42.on you because you are going to be lowering the giant into the dock.
:07:42. > :07:46.One false move... It is going to get wet anyway. It is a big piece
:07:46. > :07:52.of machinery but also very delicate with lots of hydraulics. One good
:07:52. > :07:55.knock and the show will be over. did not know what to expect, but it
:07:55. > :08:00.has a thought deep-sea diving outfits, including the boots and
:08:00. > :08:03.buckles. How does it feel to be part of something like this?
:08:03. > :08:06.have to feel privileged because you are part of a new group doing a
:08:07. > :08:12.unique job. It is something I will never forget and hopefully the City
:08:12. > :08:16.will never forget it. Anita Ryan -- Anita Rani will be live with those
:08:16. > :08:21.giants soon. Here is a taste of what has been happening in the last
:08:21. > :08:25.few hours. That is quite scary, isn't it? They were responsible for
:08:25. > :08:35.the giant elephants up from London to a standstill, before you got
:08:35. > :08:36.
:08:36. > :08:43.You remember the big elephant. would be like me doing the marathon.
:08:43. > :08:49.We are worried about your legs. also have amnesia of the bottom. My
:08:49. > :08:55.bum has forgotten how to work. I have to have someone to really...
:08:55. > :09:03.You do not have to have a man! You choose to have a man. Well, the
:09:03. > :09:06.woman was busy. Seriously, I know people think that I make it up, but
:09:06. > :09:15.I get asked to do all of these wonderful comic relief things but I
:09:15. > :09:23.cannot because it goes. It has just gone, everyone. �2 a month will
:09:23. > :09:28.make it go! Time to see how Jamie has fed on his latest challenge.
:09:28. > :09:38.create spectacular screen savers from each of the north, east, south
:09:38. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:48.I have come to the far north of Scotland to photograph an
:09:48. > :09:54.extraordinary mountain. Its distinctive shape and weathered
:09:54. > :09:59.stone pinnacles make it a magnet for photographers. The sandstone is
:09:59. > :10:04.some of the most ancient in Britain. It is a dramatic landscape, even
:10:04. > :10:09.for the north-west of Scotland. I am heading for the summit, at 600
:10:09. > :10:13.metres above sea level, for the views, but first for the wide shots.
:10:13. > :10:16.Here is an unmissable opportunity for a great landscape shot. Not
:10:16. > :10:20.only have we got the mountain in the background that we are aiming
:10:20. > :10:27.for, but the foreground is full of this beautiful, blossoming course.
:10:27. > :10:32.In the middle there is the lake. It gives a real depth of perspective.
:10:32. > :10:38.The photographer will always be rewarded for legwork. Take the
:10:38. > :10:42.trouble to shoot your subject from as many angles as possible. This is
:10:42. > :10:47.only an hour's hike away, but we are above the snow line and the
:10:47. > :10:50.whole character of the shot is transformed. And for its stark,
:10:50. > :10:57.clean portrait of northerly climes, this is my first screensaver
:10:57. > :11:03.nomination. Gaining height on a day like this will surely get some
:11:03. > :11:08.stunning views, but in unfamiliar territory, I need some local
:11:08. > :11:11.knowledge in the form of a mountain guide. This must be a bit of a hit
:11:11. > :11:16.with local climbers. You can see the pinnacles and the rock
:11:16. > :11:20.formations when we get up there. That is what it is about. My toes
:11:20. > :11:25.and fingers are getting cold already. It takes two hours to get
:11:25. > :11:32.to the summit, but even before we get there, I am met with a jaw-
:11:32. > :11:37.dropping view. It is quite seriously hard work to get up here,
:11:37. > :11:47.but my God it is worth it. Look at this. Totally remote and utterly
:11:47. > :11:48.
:11:48. > :11:53.spectacular. This whole area, the north-west corner of Scotland.
:11:53. > :11:59.is not just millions, but billions of years old. The rocks in the
:11:59. > :12:02.foreground are 3 billion years old. In these conditions, the landscape
:12:02. > :12:06.setting on your camera is an obvious choice, but what does it
:12:06. > :12:13.do? Well, it narrows the aperture, which keeps the whole picture in
:12:13. > :12:17.focus. One final push, and we are close to the summit. Wow! It just
:12:17. > :12:25.gets better and better. There cannot be that many days like this
:12:25. > :12:30.in north-west Scotland at this time of year. Amazing. To make the most
:12:30. > :12:35.of the sky and water, used a polarising filter. This is without
:12:35. > :12:40.the filter - good, but hazy and lacking in clarity. And this is
:12:40. > :12:48.with the filter - the detail is better, the glare has gone and the
:12:48. > :12:54.sky is a deeper Blue. And it is my second screensaver nomination. The
:12:54. > :13:00.next thing I want to focus on is the striking rock formations. That
:13:00. > :13:03.means a climb. There must be no end of climbing available here. You can
:13:04. > :13:07.find a different way every time you come up. Landscape photography can
:13:07. > :13:11.be as simple as pointing and shooting, if you are in the right
:13:11. > :13:21.place. But I want to take it to another level by framing the
:13:21. > :13:24.
:13:24. > :13:31.The boulder perched precariously between two rocky walls adds real
:13:31. > :13:39.tension to the landscape. But, for my third screensaver nomination, I
:13:39. > :13:43.am going for this unusual framed landscape shot. At the summit, the
:13:44. > :13:52.drama of the rocky peak set against the serenity of distant landscape
:13:52. > :13:55.gives the composition of the shots great depth and sense of scale.
:13:55. > :14:01.Days Like These in north-west Scotland are few and far between,
:14:01. > :14:06.and it has produced three cracking screensaver shots. The other-
:14:06. > :14:16.worldly snow econuts. A classic Scottish lake and mountain View,
:14:16. > :14:17.
:14:17. > :14:22.They were brilliant! That is Great Britain. This script originally
:14:22. > :14:27.read that you can download the screensaver photographs from our
:14:27. > :14:37.website, but there was an extra letter T, and it said you can't
:14:37. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:47.download them! Go to our website! That cleared that up! The second
:14:47. > :14:54.series of Vera starts on ITV one at 8 o'clock next week, on Sunday. You
:14:54. > :15:04.play Vera Stanhope. Do you agree that she is a female version of
:15:04. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:08.Frost. Columba, I would say. -- Colombo. She is a scruffy,
:15:08. > :15:13.shambolic, an unlikely detective, if you met her in the street.
:15:13. > :15:19.really gritty and the first episode is gripping. This is when the young
:15:19. > :15:23.girl goes into a coma and you are having a chat on the bed. All night
:15:23. > :15:27.she stood at the open window looking out. Whoever did this must
:15:27. > :15:32.have known there was somebody in. There so much for arson. Attempted
:15:33. > :15:37.murder. The relish in her voice! Plus, she has got her fingers
:15:37. > :15:44.burned. See these marks, this is heat damage, but this is an old
:15:44. > :15:54.injury. How old? It is hard to say. Partly healed, minimum of a month.
:15:54. > :15:57.
:15:57. > :16:00.She has been in the wars. It is quite gritty and set in
:16:00. > :16:04.Northumbria. How much fun is it to make? We just have the most
:16:04. > :16:08.wonderful time up there. I had never been there before I did this
:16:08. > :16:13.series. It is so beautiful in Northumberland and the people are
:16:13. > :16:18.so lovely. Do you hang about more with them to get that accent
:16:18. > :16:22.sorted? That was an issue, wasn't it? I couldn't have done the job
:16:22. > :16:28.unless I had got it. I went into the town and I chat to people in
:16:28. > :16:35.the shops, and just... Have you got a good ear? I always thought I had
:16:35. > :16:43.before I tried that one! Did you try the Taro Aso Lata trick? What
:16:43. > :16:51.is that? You say certain words to help you get the Northumbrian
:16:51. > :16:57.accent. Like Kawasaki. I was thinking of buying one of them.
:16:58. > :17:07.Have you got a licence? No. I thought it would be nice to have a
:17:08. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:18.motorcycle. Anyway, I digress! Yes! I had help with the accent, yes.
:17:18. > :17:23.What would you say set Vera apart? She is a woman of a certain age in
:17:24. > :17:28.a job of authority. There is no romantic interest. Why? Do we know
:17:28. > :17:34.her back story? We don't but all she lives and thinks his work. She
:17:34. > :17:38.is a loner. Not lonely, but a loner. She has had a love interest, I
:17:38. > :17:44.think you might find. Incidentally, in this first episode, you will see
:17:44. > :17:48.that she also ran a marathon way back. They elude to a relationship
:17:48. > :17:56.between Vera and her colleague. Are we giving things away? A younger
:17:56. > :18:04.colleague? If is he? The one that looks like Matt Baker? Not him! You
:18:04. > :18:11.mean John Morrison. They have known each other for years. But the
:18:11. > :18:21.stories this year our great and the production values are fabulous.
:18:21. > :18:22.
:18:22. > :18:30.she Miss Marple, Jessica Lang? Jessica Lang? Jessica Lang spree!
:18:30. > :18:39.Who is Jessica line? She looks like Jessica Lang. What happened?
:18:39. > :18:49.don't know! Kawasaki! I don't think anybody noticed! Which TV detective
:18:49. > :18:59.would you be? Who would it be? Hercule Poirot. Very nice! You have
:18:59. > :18:59.
:18:59. > :19:05.got the walk. Yes! And the hairline, the way it is going. I love Hercule
:19:05. > :19:13.Poirot. You have played lots of mothers, Brenda. To Keira Knightley,
:19:13. > :19:18.Brad Pitt, who else? Jane Horrocks. Who did you most enjoy being the
:19:18. > :19:23.mother to? I think Keira Knightley because I was so happy to be
:19:23. > :19:26.offered the part in pride and prejudice. I knew they were filming
:19:27. > :19:30.it for six months before they knocked on my door and it was six
:19:30. > :19:34.weeks before they started filming and they asked if I would like to
:19:34. > :19:41.play the part. I thought it had passed me by. Obviously somebody
:19:41. > :19:45.else dropped out! What about Brad Pitt's mother? That was fabulous.
:19:45. > :19:53.Did you have a water fight with him? Yes, a water pistol fight, but
:19:53. > :20:03.he cheated because he had two. That was also with Robert Redford. I was
:20:03. > :20:03.
:20:03. > :20:09.in heaven. Love it. Time for Jay's bit. What is on the menu? I am
:20:09. > :20:14.going wild because I have been hunting and eating wild garlic.
:20:14. > :20:20.Like most people, I am used to having all manner of food cooked
:20:20. > :20:24.especially for me. All I have to do is lift my knife and fork. But
:20:24. > :20:29.today I am experiencing the other side of things. I am going foraging
:20:29. > :20:36.for wild garlic, no less. Happily I am not going by myself, what
:20:36. > :20:40.otherwise who knows what I would end up picking? Raoul is helping me
:20:40. > :20:44.track down wild garlic. Unlike bulbs that you get in the shops,
:20:45. > :20:49.with wild garlic it is primarily it believes that you eat. If I could
:20:49. > :20:54.not say how much wild garlic there is I could smell it. And it will be
:20:54. > :20:58.smelling for a few days in your trousers and the whole thing!
:20:58. > :21:04.going to smell of garlic? It is one of my favourite smells, so no
:21:04. > :21:10.problem. How long have you been foraging? All my life, practically,
:21:10. > :21:14.from six years old. In different countries. I believe that it is a
:21:14. > :21:19.good way of living. Picking things for free and selling for good money.
:21:19. > :21:25.I sell it to local top restaurants. I was selling to Antonio Kali duo,
:21:25. > :21:30.and then after that I was exporting to France. How much do you get for
:21:30. > :21:35.a kilogram of this stuff? A few pounds. But you can sell it in
:21:35. > :21:43.France and at the moment you can get 11 euros a kilo. It seems that
:21:43. > :21:46.we are actually selling garlic to the French?! Wild garlic as a Latin
:21:46. > :21:54.name which translates as there's garlic. After hibernation, the
:21:54. > :21:58.bears eat it to clean out their digestive tract and get the
:21:58. > :22:02.strength back. Sounds sensible. But can you accidentally mistake it for
:22:02. > :22:06.something poisonous? The lily of the valley has a beautiful smile
:22:06. > :22:11.but belief looks the same. But this is floppy, compared to the lily of
:22:11. > :22:16.the valley, which is rigid. What does Lily of the valley taste like?
:22:16. > :22:20.I have never made that mistake! When foraging wild garlic, you
:22:20. > :22:26.should never take more than you need, but I think there is more
:22:26. > :22:34.than enough here to justify taking a full basket. Pretty powerful
:22:34. > :22:40.stuff. And also my lunch! I just needed somebody to cook it for me.
:22:40. > :22:45.Fortunately, Matt Tebbutt, one of Raoul's best customers, agreed to
:22:45. > :22:52.help out. Foraged food for me strengthens the menu. You look at
:22:52. > :22:57.what is in season. We take the main ingredients, rabbit, lamb or fish,
:22:57. > :23:00.whatever is good, and we complement it with foraged food. It makes
:23:01. > :23:06.sense and the best way to cook is to use wild garlic in its simplest
:23:07. > :23:10.form. Use pure ingredients like eggs, rice. Delicious. What is the
:23:10. > :23:15.difference in flavour between this stuff and bulb garlic that we are
:23:15. > :23:23.more familiar with? The obvious one is the strike. The bulb garlic is
:23:23. > :23:30.very potent. Bulb -- the strength. This has a mild, peppery taste that
:23:30. > :23:33.creeps up on you at the end. Time to get to work. I have been
:23:33. > :23:43.promised a fantastic wild garlic risotto with cheese. It sounds
:23:43. > :23:46.wonderful. It is good. It had longer to cook. I would not want to
:23:46. > :23:50.feed J Rayner that just yet. after a few minutes, the risotto
:23:50. > :23:56.was ready. I was back in my familiar role, having my food
:23:56. > :24:00.brought to me. This smells fantastic, but how does it taste?
:24:00. > :24:04.That is lovely. It is garlicky, but not in an excessive way. It does
:24:04. > :24:09.not hit the back of the throat. I am romantic about my food. The fact
:24:09. > :24:14.that this was in the field a few hours ago, and is now in front of
:24:14. > :24:22.me on the plate, that does make it rather special. That was Otto, just
:24:22. > :24:30.by looking at it, is one of the things that has been tastiest. --
:24:30. > :24:37.that risotto. It was certainly up there. And Raoul is here. From
:24:37. > :24:41.Belgium? And a few other places. is very exotic! We have got the
:24:41. > :24:47.selection here. The St George mushrooms are over here because St
:24:47. > :24:51.George's Day is on Monday. So how we made that work? Raoul loves them.
:24:51. > :24:56.I love them because they are coming out in springtime. If they grow in
:24:56. > :25:04.a ring and they smell of chamois leather, that is how you can
:25:04. > :25:14.recognise them. They do as well! Can you eat them? Yes, but they are
:25:14. > :25:22.better if you cook them. Why don't you taste this, Alan? Lovely!
:25:22. > :25:28.are not that bad. You are not like that at all. This is part pastry
:25:28. > :25:33.with St George mushrooms. How is it? Gorgeous. A chef called Roger
:25:33. > :25:37.Brooks made that for us. Gorgeous. Tell us about the legality and
:25:37. > :25:43.where we can find mushrooms and so on. You must always ask the
:25:43. > :25:51.permission of the landowner. Never over pick. Always make sure there
:25:51. > :25:56.is enough for other people and for other years as well. You have to be
:25:56. > :25:59.careful what you pick and what you do. That is very true. There is a
:26:00. > :26:04.great writer called Nicholas Evans. He went picking mushrooms, going
:26:04. > :26:08.back to the same spot by somebody that knew what he was doing. He
:26:08. > :26:18.picked the wrong ones, poisoned himself and his guests, went into
:26:18. > :26:19.
:26:19. > :26:22.kidney failure and had to have a transplant. Now you tell me! He was
:26:22. > :26:32.a great loss to British showbusiness.
:26:32. > :26:35.
:26:35. > :26:42.You will be fine, Raoul picked them and not me. But he has always hated
:26:42. > :26:50.your act...! It is serious. We also have wild garlic. Do you want one
:26:50. > :26:55.of those? OK. Hop shoots, over here. They are fantastic. I don't know if
:26:56. > :27:00.we can see them separately. They are in the salad. In Belgium, at
:27:00. > :27:07.the beginning of the season, they can go as much as 1,000 euros per
:27:07. > :27:13.kilo? The first of very expensive. The second, then half price, and so
:27:13. > :27:17.on. That is because of the publicity for the restaurant. That
:27:17. > :27:27.restaurant bought the first hop shoots, and that is their publicity.
:27:27. > :27:27.
:27:27. > :27:33.We have had three key weather, so freaky foraging? -- 3 strange
:27:33. > :27:41.weather. It depends on a weather. If you pick the mushrooms now, full
:27:41. > :27:47.of water, better wait, better price! Thank you for coming in,
:27:47. > :27:51.Raoul. We have another cup of coming up. Yes, we are on the hunt
:27:51. > :27:56.for the greatest Indian style chicken curry. Not any old curry,
:27:56. > :28:01.but chicken in the style of the Indian sub-continent. If you can be
:28:01. > :28:06.sure that your creation is the best in the UK, tell us what makes it so
:28:06. > :28:12.special, secret ingredients and special twists. The details on the
:28:12. > :28:15.website. You have to be over 18. The closing date is 9 o'clock on
:28:16. > :28:25.Monday night and you need to send us details of your recipe and a
:28:26. > :28:26.
:28:26. > :28:26.photograph of your curry. You have been a naughty boy, Jay. He has
:28:26. > :28:30.been a naughty boy, everyone! He has to apologise otherwise we all
:28:30. > :28:34.get sacked. I made some flippant comments about the sinking of the
:28:34. > :28:43.Titanic last week. If anybody was offended, I apologise and normal
:28:43. > :28:49.service has been resumed. To be fair, we both did. You let me on.
:28:49. > :28:55.Now, photographs. Steven Davis sent from Northumberland at the end of
:28:55. > :29:02.the 1983 North Tyneside marathon. My husband Brian. Actually, not my
:29:02. > :29:10.husband! Jane Craig's has spent running for the local hospice, just
:29:10. > :29:14.in front of Gordon Ramsay. Oh, yes! This is an heir hunter after
:29:14. > :29:24.finishing the Berlin marathon on her first wedding anniversary. --
:29:24. > :29:25.
:29:25. > :29:30.an Mrs Hunter. Very good. Moving on, this is magic. Ever wondered where
:29:30. > :29:39.magicians get the tricks of their trade? They go to the shops to get
:29:39. > :29:44.tricks and trade. This is Larry Roald Dahl said that if you don't
:29:44. > :29:50.believe in magic, you will never find it. But I have got directions.
:29:50. > :29:54.It is second after the lights, but it involves some time trouble. Go
:29:54. > :29:58.back to 1898 Ben Lewis Davenport open day conjuring emporium in
:29:58. > :30:03.central London. Little did he know, the shop would never close. He was
:30:03. > :30:06.on the top of his game, performing on stage most evenings. He had a
:30:06. > :30:11.brainwave - why not spend the day time inventing tricks and selling
:30:11. > :30:18.them. His son became a magician and joined him. Together, they dreamed
:30:18. > :30:24.up hundreds of illusions. His granddaughter to cut magic, and the
:30:24. > :30:27.shop. Soon, her son was helping out. The 4th generation of a family. And
:30:27. > :30:32.here they are today in the shop that has been open since the reign
:30:32. > :30:37.of Queen Victoria. It is thought to be the oldest family magic business
:30:37. > :30:41.in the world. Many of the tricks date back to my great-grandfather's
:30:41. > :30:46.time. We still have them today because the classics of magic are
:30:46. > :30:51.classic and everlasting. Betty joined to the shop at 14. 64 years
:30:51. > :30:57.later, she is still here every day of the week. It has not just been
:30:57. > :31:02.behind the counter. She was also a stage illusionist. They are not so
:31:02. > :31:08.many female conjurers, are there? No, because people generally give a
:31:08. > :31:15.box of tricks to the boy. It is a shame, because girls love magic.
:31:15. > :31:19.Was she good? Very good. She still wears. You would say that, wouldn't
:31:20. > :31:25.you? She learned a lot of tricks from her father. One of his
:31:25. > :31:32.classics was the floating match. And it is not just magic. Roy has
:31:33. > :31:42.been showing me some of the original novelties. Old fashioned
:31:43. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:47.peanut brittle. Thank you! The shop was the meeting place for
:31:47. > :31:51.professional stage Ms -- magicians when they came to London for
:31:51. > :31:56.conventions. Orson Welles was a customer, and today, even the big
:31:56. > :32:01.names like Paul Daniels. And then there was an unknown who came in in
:32:01. > :32:06.the 1950s. He was so hard up he could not afford a thing - one
:32:06. > :32:11.Tommy Cooper. We used to help him as much as we could with tricks. He
:32:11. > :32:17.became great friends of the family. They even found him bookings and
:32:17. > :32:25.they never doubted he would end up being one of the greats. This was a
:32:25. > :32:29.tube that he opened and said magic words, and there we are. That
:32:29. > :32:34.actually belonged to Tommy. In the early days before TV and the
:32:34. > :32:38.talkies, going to the music hall for a full-scale magic show was an
:32:38. > :32:43.everyday entertainment. The magic had to be big enough for everyone
:32:43. > :32:48.to see, so you had the Floating Lady, assaulting a woman in half,
:32:48. > :32:53.the appearing elephant and the all of these huge tricks that were
:32:53. > :32:58.performed. -- cutting a woman in half. Now, the tricks have gone
:32:58. > :33:02.right down to small card tricks that you see at parties. It is
:33:02. > :33:09.working a new variations that is the job of another magician, Roy's
:33:09. > :33:15.elder brother, Bill. You keep up to date. This is one of my favourites.
:33:15. > :33:19.You can see the blank cards. They are not really much good. So I will
:33:19. > :33:29.try to print one of the cards, which sounds impossible. To print a
:33:29. > :33:33.card, you just need to get a card, and another, and another, and
:33:33. > :33:39.another. The thing about magic is that it is often a visual illusion.
:33:39. > :33:45.As I said, this was a blank DEC. It really is completely blank. I am
:33:45. > :33:50.such a sucker for these things. But the classics never change, as Roy
:33:50. > :33:55.demonstrates with some of his great-grandfather's originals.
:33:55. > :34:03.make it disappear and come back again is a timeless piece of magic.
:34:03. > :34:07.That is beautifully simple, isn't it. There are two strong reasons
:34:07. > :34:10.why this shop will stay open for a good while longer - James and
:34:10. > :34:20.Sophie, the fifth generation. They are already showing all of the
:34:20. > :34:24.
:34:24. > :34:30.signs that the businesses for them. Brilliant.
:34:30. > :34:36.He just clap once. Magic shops have inspired lots of the budding David
:34:36. > :34:40.Blaine as MACRO and David Copperfields. And we have three
:34:41. > :34:46.magicians here, members of the Young Magician's Club. We will see
:34:46. > :34:56.if they can amaze Allen and baffle Brenda. First, Liz Fuller, 13, from
:34:56. > :34:57.
:34:57. > :35:07.Kent. -- Lewis Fuller. I would shake your hand but you have
:35:07. > :35:12.instructed me to hold these. Do you want them now? How did you get into
:35:12. > :35:19.magic? My dad bought me a magic set when I was in hospital. From there,
:35:19. > :35:27.it kicked off. I just enjoy doing what I do. First, are you better?
:35:27. > :35:34.Yes, I am better. Magic! They have seen this loads of times and always
:35:34. > :35:44.wanted to be part of it. I am so excited. What do I need to do?
:35:44. > :35:44.
:35:44. > :35:50.You can see that I have a long piece of rope, a short piece of
:35:50. > :35:57.rope and a medium pace. I am going to create an illusion. They will
:35:57. > :36:01.all stretch to the same size. We had a short piece, a medium-pace
:36:01. > :36:10.and a long piece. But because everyone looks confused, we were
:36:10. > :36:14.just used two pieces. Maybe just one long piece. They say that it is
:36:14. > :36:18.not the rope that you should watch but the ends of the rope. If you
:36:18. > :36:28.find a good spot, you can chuck them on. If you blink, you will
:36:28. > :36:29.
:36:29. > :36:33.miss it, Chris. People do not normally find that the best part.
:36:33. > :36:37.The best part is when you take the middle and you pull it off. But it
:36:37. > :36:40.would not be a piece of rope without a middle, so we have to
:36:40. > :36:50.make one long piece. In the beginning we had three pieces of
:36:50. > :36:51.
:36:51. > :37:01.rope. Alan and Chris, will you come here? Hold on to this. The magic is
:37:01. > :37:11.in your hands. Ready? We have the small, the medium and the long.
:37:11. > :37:17.
:37:17. > :37:22.Thank you. Next, Elizabeth Rogan, When did you get into magic? Who
:37:22. > :37:26.was responsible for introducing you to magic? About it four years ago
:37:26. > :37:32.my uncle got me into magic with a basic card trick and I progressed
:37:32. > :37:40.from there. Have you performed before? Yes, at the London magic
:37:40. > :37:50.circle and charity shows. You are so confident. Just shout out stop.
:37:50. > :37:53.
:37:53. > :37:59.And Take That card. Show it to the camera. 10 of clubs. Whoops! It is
:37:59. > :38:09.not the 10 of clubs. We will do different trick now. Only joking. I
:38:09. > :38:19.
:38:19. > :38:26.will take your card. You push it in Are you ready? Yes. It is even
:38:26. > :38:36.better now, isn't it? I like to wear jewellery. Ago once, twice,
:38:36. > :38:56.
:38:56. > :39:04.Finally, James Wilson, 17, from High Wycombe. Hello. Your suit is
:39:04. > :39:08.magic. What about that? I came as a bar code. I am going to step out
:39:08. > :39:14.because I messed up the last one. Brenda, takeover. I am going to
:39:14. > :39:19.give you this pen. Think of a word that relates to the word "up". Do
:39:19. > :39:25.not tell me what it is and write it on there, on my crystal ball.
:39:25. > :39:30.Quickly, because you only have one minute! Brilliant. Close it up. I
:39:30. > :39:38.do not know what is in there. Only you know what is in this. No one at
:39:38. > :39:48.home knows what is in this. Here we go. Could you take it back for me?
:39:48. > :39:49.
:39:49. > :39:54.Put it in there for me. This way around. I will take the pen. Could
:39:54. > :40:01.you hold this side of the table? I will hold this side. Think of your
:40:01. > :40:07.word. Think of your word. Keep thinking of your word. Go with it,
:40:07. > :40:12.go with it, go with it. Have a look underneath, see if there's anything
:40:13. > :40:21.going on. We will come down again. Think of your word. Was it the
:40:21. > :40:31.opposite? Was the word down. Yes. Can you open it and show the camera
:40:31. > :40:41.
:40:41. > :40:51.Well done. You did not get that from Brad Pitt, did you? No. Well
:40:51. > :41:01.done. Chattyman is back next Friday. Let's have a look at a clip from
:41:01. > :41:02.
:41:02. > :41:06.the last series. Welcome to a new series of cooking with Lady Gaga.
:41:06. > :41:12.If you have not got the same amount of time that we have got, we like
:41:12. > :41:19.to use the lazy way, a source that you can use for any occasion. You
:41:19. > :41:29.use this yourself, don't you, Lady Gaga? No. As used by Lady Gaga
:41:29. > :41:34.
:41:34. > :41:42.It is the eighth series. I know! is back on Friday, so are you head
:41:43. > :41:48.to head with Graham Norton? Yes, and I am going to win. Was it a big
:41:48. > :41:54.decision? It was basically Channel 4. Do you remember the Friday-night
:41:54. > :42:01.project? It kept changing which day it was on. They test it. It feels
:42:01. > :42:11.like a Friday show. It is upbeat. And you get the jump on him, don't
:42:11. > :42:18.you? Pardon! You get the jump on him. Oh, I see what you mean. I am
:42:18. > :42:26.before him. Yes. And you won an award for the show, didn't you?
:42:26. > :42:31.I did, Brenda. This time, you are doing two specials. The Jubilee and
:42:31. > :42:37.the Olympics. It is an Alan Carr spectacular. It will be fantastic.
:42:37. > :42:42.I am sure it will be. There are lots of stars around at the time.
:42:42. > :42:52.Who have you got booked? We have got Justin be becoming on, Kim car
:42:52. > :42:58.Paul Weller. Everyone. After winning the award, it has changed
:42:58. > :43:07.it. Are you ever tempted to do the show live? I have trouble with my
:43:07. > :43:13.wind. If we get a wind turbine, I could power it. I would love it,
:43:13. > :43:19.but I don't know. Sometimes you get boring celebrities. You must have
:43:19. > :43:23.boring celebrities. Never! They are so boring and you have to pick the
:43:24. > :43:29.best bit. But what you lose on one hand, you gain on the other. I
:43:29. > :43:34.think you would be exciting to watch live. Really? But they tell
:43:34. > :43:40.me off. I have a nervous tic, when someone is boring and I have not
:43:40. > :43:45.liked their film or their album, my hand goes like that. "I absolutely
:43:45. > :43:54.loved your film". They have to tell me, stop it in your hand over your
:43:54. > :44:04.mouth. -- stop putting your hand over your mouth. Well, we can't
:44:04. > :44:05.
:44:05. > :44:08.wait for your show, honestly! are really busy because you are
:44:08. > :44:14.doing other stuff, writing a sitcom as well. Can you tell us about
:44:14. > :44:18.that? I can't, because it might be rubbish. I am just going to try and
:44:19. > :44:24.write it and see if people like it. I do not want to build it up. I am
:44:24. > :44:28.desperate to go on tour again so I am going to write a stand-up tour.
:44:28. > :44:33.Have you started your sitcom, because I know the lady who
:44:33. > :44:36.published your autobiography. She said she used to have to phone you
:44:36. > :44:41.and you would do anything but right. Your house had never been clear
:44:41. > :44:48.enough. I would be going, I have got those skirting boards to clean.
:44:48. > :44:53.And then watching homes under the hammer. Have you written anything
:44:53. > :44:59.for the sitcom? A few characters and funny lines. But it is hard
:44:59. > :45:09.work. Where is it based? I am not going to tell you, you will steal
:45:09. > :45:09.
:45:09. > :45:13.my idea. You have not written anything! I have! The Other story
:45:13. > :45:23.that I liked about you was that you got to dance with Prince Harry the
:45:23. > :45:26.
:45:26. > :45:34.other day. Is that right? No! I am so embarrassed. I was absolutely
:45:34. > :45:42.paralytic, and I saw him in a club and I started dancing up to him, up
:45:42. > :45:52.against him. You know when you are doing that? His bodyguards are
:45:52. > :45:56.rubbish. Nobody tried to stop me. But he is so lovely, so lovely.
:45:56. > :46:01.he your best mate? Yes, me and pepper are always going on the
:46:01. > :46:08.razzle. It was a dream to meet him like that. I cannot remember much,
:46:08. > :46:13.but it was a right laugh. Maybe he will come on your show. Chattyman
:46:13. > :46:20.starts on Friday at 10pm, against Graham. We can't wait to see how
:46:20. > :46:30.that drama unfolds. Anita Rani is up in Liverpool which, for one
:46:30. > :46:31.
:46:31. > :46:36.weekend only, has become the land I am in the land of the giants, and
:46:36. > :46:41.to call her a big glass would be an understatement. Look at that. They
:46:41. > :46:46.are just putting her to bed. This spectacular event is courtesy of
:46:46. > :46:52.Royal De Luxe, street theatre company and Sabine Mayer is their
:46:52. > :46:56.manager. What is happening? little girl giant has just finished
:46:56. > :47:02.her first day in Liverpool. She came to see the big sea diver, her
:47:02. > :47:09.uncle. And now she is going to bed? Yes. Who are the marionettes behind
:47:09. > :47:14.her? They are helping her to move. They are putting her to sleep. They
:47:14. > :47:17.dress her in the morning and help her with her shower. They are
:47:17. > :47:22.acrobats and technicians from France and they are utterly devoted
:47:22. > :47:27.to her. I have got to shout because we have got live groups playing
:47:27. > :47:35.music here as well. Claire McColgan is the head of Culture for
:47:35. > :47:39.Liverpool city council. Great title. What is happening today? The giants
:47:39. > :47:43.have been on a huge journey across the city. Out of the Albert Dock.
:47:43. > :47:48.An incredible day in Liverpool. don't know if you can see the
:47:48. > :47:53.crowds, but it is packed. It has been happening all weekend. I feel
:47:53. > :47:58.like I am in a fairy tale. We have to go because she has got to go to
:47:58. > :48:02.bed. We will catch up with you later. Liverpool is the place to be.
:48:02. > :48:09.Brilliant, Anita. We have already gone off with Jamie Crawford, third
:48:09. > :48:14.time to travel to the other end of the country. Dan Snow is with the
:48:14. > :48:18.village that got washed away when its shoreline was stolen.
:48:18. > :48:25.Burma's's Devonport yard, part of the largest naval base in Western
:48:25. > :48:31.Europe. -- Plymouth's. For hundreds of years, British fleets have left
:48:31. > :48:33.here to fight the nation's battles. At the turn of the 20th century
:48:33. > :48:37.were the First World War looming, orders were given to double the
:48:37. > :48:41.size of the Devon port side and this mighty expansion would drown
:48:41. > :48:47.an entire village. These are the remains of what was a prosperous
:48:47. > :48:56.fishing village 100 years ago. The rest of it, 30 buildings, homes,
:48:56. > :49:01.the pub, a 10 metres below me on the bottom of the English Channel.
:49:01. > :49:09.Hallsands was a close-knit community of 128. Now it is a ghost
:49:09. > :49:14.town. In 1917, this village was literally washed away. Its
:49:14. > :49:19.residents separated to find new homes nearby. Their community was
:49:19. > :49:25.broken. This was not a battle with the elements. All sounds was a man-
:49:25. > :49:31.made disaster. -- Hallsands. Germany and America were building
:49:31. > :49:35.up their babies. This was an arms race in the run-up to World War One.
:49:35. > :49:39.-- Ben Davies. Britain needed to build up their capacity to keep up
:49:39. > :49:42.power. They were building up a battle fleet to compete with the
:49:42. > :49:46.Royal Navy and the ships were getting even bigger. The
:49:46. > :49:52.Dreadnought type ship that was being produced could not be fitted
:49:52. > :49:55.into the dock here. The Dreadnought was a new class of warship. Massive
:49:55. > :50:00.guns, great speed, and the British believed it would give them the
:50:00. > :50:06.edge. An extra 118 acres were added to the Great North yard so that
:50:06. > :50:10.five could be built here. The man task with the job was John Jackson,
:50:10. > :50:14.an engineering entrepreneur interested in making money and fast.
:50:14. > :50:19.This vast new Devonport extension would require thousands of tons of
:50:19. > :50:26.concrete. John Jackson would not have to look far for the makings of
:50:26. > :50:34.it. A high quality shingle at all sounds would be perfect for the job.
:50:34. > :50:38.-- Hallsands. In the spring of 1987 -- 1897, they started dredging
:50:38. > :50:43.without even bothering to consult the villagers. The Government and
:50:43. > :50:47.the local landowners did their thing. Really, the local fishermen
:50:47. > :50:55.did not count and they did not know. How much shingle was removed from
:50:56. > :51:00.the beach? 650,000 tonnes is recorded but considerably more than
:51:00. > :51:04.that. This shingle was the only defence between Hallsands and the
:51:04. > :51:08.English Channel. The villagers could see the water is coming
:51:08. > :51:13.closer but for five years their protests were ignored. A New Year's
:51:13. > :51:18.Day, 1902, the man finally took matters into their hands. They
:51:18. > :51:23.marched up the coast and confronted the dredgers, just up there. Angry
:51:23. > :51:29.words were exchanged. We don't know if it bubbled over into violence,
:51:29. > :51:32.but the dredgers certainly left, never to return. Days later, the
:51:33. > :51:37.Board of Trade revoked John Jackson's licence. The Plymouth
:51:37. > :51:40.docks would be completed without any more precious shingle. John
:51:40. > :51:45.Jackson assured the villagers that the sea would in time replace what
:51:45. > :51:50.had been taken but the damage had been done. What effect did that
:51:50. > :51:55.have, removing the shingle? Very quickly it meant the end of the
:51:55. > :52:02.village. In four years it was taking away the first row of houses.
:52:02. > :52:09.The defences were removed and the houses went immediately? Yes.
:52:09. > :52:14.village and its 128 residents were living on borrowed time. On January
:52:14. > :52:20.26th, 1917, a strong easterly gale at combined with an exceptionally
:52:20. > :52:24.high tide created the perfect storm. By midnight four houses have gone
:52:24. > :52:28.as the villagers looked down from the cliffs above. The next day
:52:28. > :52:33.there was another high-tide and house after house crashed into the
:52:33. > :52:37.sea. By the end only a couple were left standing. The Plymouth naval
:52:37. > :52:44.dockyard had doubled in size, but the price was the destruction of
:52:44. > :52:50.this community. Very interesting. That was very sad.
:52:50. > :52:56.On the subject of things falling into the sea, didn't you become an
:52:56. > :53:00.unlikely hero? A where is this going? I heard the story of you and
:53:00. > :53:06.Lionel Blair, of all people, saving a man from committing suicide. What
:53:06. > :53:14.happened? Lionel and I were having a glass of wine in a bar and there
:53:14. > :53:24.was a man trying to kill himself and this man asked us to help. Me
:53:24. > :53:28.and Lionel? Yes! I ran over there. The man was hanging on. Lionel goes,
:53:28. > :53:34.it is Lionel Blair off the television. I would have jumped! I
:53:34. > :53:42.am joking, I love Lionel! He said, I want to die. Then I poked my head
:53:42. > :53:48.over. It saved his life. We pulled him off. What happened? He said
:53:48. > :53:55.that initially and this shocked him so much? Yes, he couldn't believe
:53:55. > :54:03.it. Imagine my head and Lionel's! He decided to hang around. We
:54:03. > :54:07.pulled him up. Well done. The to take him for a glass of wine?
:54:07. > :54:17.it was pretty serious. The police came and took him away. I did not
:54:17. > :54:19.
:54:19. > :54:26.get an award. I am not bitter! Debate applaud you in the bar?
:54:26. > :54:31.we were like heroes. -- it did they applaud you? I was walking along
:54:31. > :54:37.the cliff at Ramsgate once, and I heard this crumbling. I looked over
:54:37. > :54:41.the edge and there was somebody six feet down. There was barbed wire
:54:41. > :54:50.between the top of the cliff and the railings and he was caught in
:54:50. > :54:58.the barbed wire. To cut a long story short... And go on! He got
:54:58. > :55:03.out of the barbed wire, I removed his jacket, and I pulled him out.
:55:03. > :55:12.Hang on, a second. Has anybody else saved anybody? Can we get this out
:55:12. > :55:16.of the way? It is turning into Pride of Britain! Well done,
:55:16. > :55:20.everyone! Although long Anita has been following the biggest little
:55:20. > :55:27.girl in the world, stomping through Liverpool for the Sea Odyssey giant
:55:27. > :55:33.spectacular. How is the little girl now? She has been tucked up in bed.
:55:33. > :55:39.If you can hear this beautiful lullaby music helping her drift off
:55:39. > :55:42.to sleep. She is coming pass now and it is quite something, like a
:55:43. > :55:48.fantasy world in Liverpool. Claire McColgan is the head of culture.
:55:48. > :55:51.What else has been going on today? It has just been amazing with
:55:51. > :55:54.hundreds of thousands of people across the city seeing her on her
:55:54. > :55:58.journey and trying to find her uncle with the letter for her that
:55:58. > :56:02.he will give her tomorrow. story is that the uncle has gone
:56:02. > :56:06.down to the sea and he has been walking around Liverpool separately.
:56:06. > :56:10.Yes, with his mailbox. He is ready to meet her tomorrow night at this
:56:10. > :56:17.very place to give her the letter from her father. He is in his deep
:56:17. > :56:24.sea divers outfit. Yes. At the moment he is sleeping. The little
:56:24. > :56:28.girl is in bed behind us. Who is the dog behind her? He will sit on
:56:28. > :56:32.her knee as she sleeps and wake up with her tomorrow morning. Every
:56:32. > :56:37.detail of this has been thought out. It has been two years in the
:56:37. > :56:42.planning. The marionette have come from France. They are all trained
:56:42. > :56:47.acrobats. Yes. They are incredible artists. Just watching how they
:56:47. > :56:52.move and work with the giants has been incredible to watch. Today has
:56:52. > :56:58.been spectacular. What else is coming up? Tomorrow it just builds
:56:58. > :57:01.during the day. She wakes up at 9:30am. The diver wakes up at 11
:57:01. > :57:06.o'clock in Stanley Park and then they come together tomorrow after
:57:06. > :57:12.going round the city. This music is so beautiful, a motive. How have
:57:12. > :57:17.the crowds reacted? Everybody has been fantastic, coming out in their
:57:17. > :57:23.thousands. It has been incredible for Liverpool. And the son has just
:57:23. > :57:33.come out. It is quite something. -- the sunshine. Get yourselves down
:57:33. > :57:33.
:57:33. > :57:39.here. Picture perfect skies in the background. Wonderful. We have had
:57:39. > :57:43.lots of photographs of you running the marathon. This is Simon Baker,
:57:43. > :57:53.an amputee, who completed the Dublin marathon on crutches.
:57:53. > :57:55.
:57:55. > :58:01.This is a marathon in Kenya. One hour after this photograph they got
:58:01. > :58:09.married with their marathon running vicar. This is my dad doing the
:58:09. > :58:17.aeroplane at the Swiss marathon last year. He is going to kill me,
