your Friday one show with Fierce Panda, Fern Cotton, and the Ginger | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
Ninja, Chris Evans. Not tonight, because we have the | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
genuine article in the house. Jake is one of only 50 bonafide, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
qualified, and certified ninjas in the world. Ninja, show them your | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
certificate! We did rehearse that, I promise. An actual certificate right | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
there. Ninjas are a philosophical bunch, so tonight he will be | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
imparting wisdom throughout the show. Let's start with this. 10,000 | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
changes, no surprises. Which means learn to manage change. I like that. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
I like that a lot. And another huge fan of philosophy is sitting on our | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
sofa, Paloma Faith. Hello, beautiful lady. One of the most wonderful | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
performers in the world. We love what you do. What is your mantra for | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
today? Today, specifically, it has just been, keep your eyes open. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
Because I am afraid it is not that philosophical, but I am so exhausted | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
I have fallen asleep three times today. Let's get a coffee! Let's get | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
this show on quickly! We've got something to keep you | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
interested. We have a challenge for Paloma and also for you at home, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
which could put some extra pounds in your piggyback. There has been a | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
story about a 50p. If you have a 50p with a picture of the Chinese pagoda | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
at Kew gardens on the other side, you are incredibly rare and selling | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
up to 100 times their face value. Have a look at home and if there is | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
any sign of that, send us a picture or, even better, send us the 50p. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
You are throwing money away! There are 250 year to look through. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
I will start sorting! Paloma, it is time to find out more | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
about our one show Ninja. Jake wanted to show the world that there | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
is a lot more to being in Ninja and just creeping about with a balaclava | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
on your head. What you mean? You have to start | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
somewhere! In Japan, as far back as the 12th | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
century, samurai warriors hired ninjas to spy, sabotage and killed. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
Usually, they were peasants or farmers working in the fields, hence | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
the swords and spears. I grew up watching my fair share of martial | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
arts movies, enter the Dragon, revenge of the Ninja, and I | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
should've missed to being obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
Imagine my excitement to learn that I'm going to meet a real-life Ninja, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
and not just somebody dressed up as one. I am talking about it drop, | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
initiated student of a grandmaster. -- about a proper. Jake has been | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
learning the art of jujitsu for 25 years. What is the difference | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
between being a real Ninja and the ninjas we see in films? A real Ninja | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
is somebody looking to protect themselves, somebody who was looking | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
to protect other people. But ninjas in films that I have seen tend to | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
just be assassins, trying to kill someone. What is the thought behind | :03:46. | :03:58. | |
ninjas? The symbol means injuries. It is important to keep going. A lot | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
of people are defeated because they stop. A lot of people make the | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
mistake of thinking that it is just punching and kicking, but we learn | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
all sorts of skills among that, explosives, disguise and | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
impersonation. It is important to have a fighting spirit. The warrior | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
heart, we college. Without a good spirits, no amount of practice | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
technique is going to work. Jake has agreed to show me some of the | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
teachings of the Ninja. It is time to sit up. -- suit. The point of the | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
Ninja is to be on scene. That means you have to blend in. First up, | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
stealth. If you take this leg of the ground am a and place it on the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
ground, once your foot is down, transfer your weight across. This is | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
the art of stealth. Try that on me. | :05:01. | :05:12. | |
This is why you do not speak up on a Ninja without proper training. Next, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
a lesson in distraction. If you go to punch me, that can be a | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
distraction. If you chase me, to punch me, that can be a | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
Never ask this man for a business card. This is where you get your own | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
back. You can conceal that, and smash it on your leg. So we are | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
chatting and you get hostile and I know I cannot beat you in a fight | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
so... Away I go. Where has he gone? There years. -- there he is. And | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
finally, using any object as a weapon. Anything you have to hand? | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
Exactly. And that is to help you survive. That is the crucial thing, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
just survival. If I have learned one thing from today, it might be how to | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
run away. Good idea. Thank you. Don't mess with Jake, that is what | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
we have learned. What is your next piece of wisdom, | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
Jake? Don't try to win, just try to survive. It is a much smaller task. | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
Good. That probably goes for these 50p is. I think we should not try to | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
win with this, we should just appreciate the beauty of 50p Rumack | :06:44. | :06:51. | |
as it is. -- of the 50ps as it is. I can feel a new album coming on. We | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
are excited because Paloma has new material. This is a big deal. A | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
brand-new song called Can't Rely On You and Pharrell Williams, the | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
producer, how come this guy is such a Merlin like figure in the music | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
industry? What is so special about him? He's been around for ages in so | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
many different guises. I do not know of people know about NERD, and the | :07:15. | :07:25. | |
Neptune is -- Neptunes. He produced loads of great songs, like half the | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
charts. He is amazing. And he is still going, reinventing himself | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
summoning times. He also is in credibly good-looking. He is very | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
handsome. I really hate him now! And he looks | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
all young, it is unreal. Come down! | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
He is 43 and he looks like he is 25. How did you get time with him? He is | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
working flat out, so how did the collaboration come about? I went to | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
a fashion event in New York, and I was not allowed to bring a guest so | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
I had to go on my own. Full. And they were proper celebrities there. | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
And I was a bit nervous. I had to go up the stairs and greet the editor | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
of American Vogue like royalty. Yes, your Highness. And then I went to | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
the toilet cubicle, and sat there and text of my friends, saying I | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
wanted to die, for about 20 minutes. You are looking at me like, I've | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
been there! And I was out of my depth thinking, why am I even hear? | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
I was sure I had a seat by the toilets. But my friends persuaded me | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
to go out and confront the room. And out of the crowd, Pharrell Williams | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
watch towards me and he was singing a song called New York, which was on | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
my first album. What a lovely moment! And I was like, how do you | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
even know that? ! I was looking behind me and I thought, it must be | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
from me because it is my song and he said, I think you're cool, and then | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
he said a square world -- swearword. I have said that I would | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
not. I think you are something cool. And I thought, how could you think | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
that about me?! And he said, well, give me your phone. He put his phone | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
number in it and said, I am ready to work with you. And I was just like, | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
I could not believe it! I text it and saying, is this your real | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
number? I expected to get back an insurance company or something. Have | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
you ever been hurt? But it was really him and he waved across the | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
room to say, high, it is me. And then it happened and we did this | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
song. We did a few songs together and this is the one that is the big | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
one. It is his voice. Let's see the video. It is out of this Sunday. I | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
just cannot rely on you. I just cannot rely on you. | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
# You got that good stuff, so I just can't rely on you. | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
# I just can't rely on you. I say! Top drawer! That is out on | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
Sunday. We know that you put everything in your videos, time and | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
passion. Do you think the music video is a dying art? I feel like | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
there is not enough platforms to celebrate brilliant videos. When you | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
look back at some of the great ones you remember, like that Portishead | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
one where they were floating, and the chemical Brothers that did that | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
beautiful moon thing, people do not do that any more. I love your | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
videos. You are in an audible medium, but | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
you are very visual. You are so good at that. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
I bump into you outside of work and you always look glamorous. Chris, | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
let's have a look at Chris on his day off. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
That's not too bad, to be honest. One of the better ones. | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
And then you, yesterday. This is not yesterday. I was nine | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
months pregnant. Yesterday afternoon at 3:30pm. However, Paloma, popping | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
out for a curry. Just casually, and always Glam. Do you ever have an off | :11:46. | :11:54. | |
day? I do, yeah. Of course. But you always say when I see you in the | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
street, you look amazing! And I feel that I look dreadful. But she always | :11:59. | :12:10. | |
looks amazing! Here is Jay Rayner, some nice | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
juxtaposition there. He is looking for something fruity in Berlin. No, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
he hasn't been invited on a strange stag do, Jay's at a fruit and veg | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
conference, although things do start to get pretty weird. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
Apples, oranges, bananas and pears. Over the years, our choice of | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
favourite fruit has changed very little. Now, the supermarkets are on | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
the lookout for the next big thing. And there is one place that they all | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
flocked to in search of it, here. This is Europe's biggest fruit and | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
veg trade fair, held every year in Berlin. There are over 2500 | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
producers here from 85 countries, offering exotic finds from range | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
forest and jungles as well as new twists on the classics. -- | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
rainforests. It is three days of colour and creativity must spread | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
across a site the size of four football pitches. This is citrus | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
caviar. It comes from Australia. It is perfect in cocktails or | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
champagne. This is like cucumber but it is fresh and sweet. These are | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
green lemons, great when you want something different at a party. This | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
man is a fruit buyer for Marks Spencer and his job is to slip out | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
of the newest thing in fruit and bring it to the supermarket in the | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
UK. -- sniff out. Is it like the first day of the sales, competing to | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
get your hands on the good stuff? Definitely. We are next looking for | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
the next bubble gum plum or a grape that tastes like a mango. That is | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
the holy grail for us. It is down to personal taste? Do you ever think, I | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
don't like this but the market will. I have eaten a payer and I did not | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
like it, in fairness, but we give it a chance and it was a big hit. It | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
can take ten years to get a new fruit or vegetable to market so | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
backing a winner is key. British-based company, -- this | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
British-based company won an award last year for the flowers sprout, a | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
cross between a Brussels sprouts and kale. Why was there needs muck with | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
Brussels sprouts? Many people were not eating them because the flavours | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
were strong. And we thought that, actually, we could probably would | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
use a version of a Brussels sprouts with a milder flavour that looked | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
very good and was also easy to prepare. Is this a unique example of | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
a man-made vegetable? Not really. It is just the newest example of a | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
brassica. Other examples like broccoli and cabbage are man-made. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
They all come from wild cabbage. Is it developed using conventional | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
crossbreeding? It is done in a field, not a laboratory. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
It has clearly paid off. Waitrose and Marks Spencer all now stock | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
the product and he is here to tempt international buyers. It is | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
something special, really. I like it. Does anything catch shazam | :15:26. | :15:37. | |
detention for this year? These are lemon shaped plums. The concern | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
would be the tip. I would travel? Wooded brews? Lovely, fresh flavour. | :15:44. | :15:52. | |
What is this? This is originally from Bolivia but now grown in | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Australia. It is called the achacha fruit. There is a unique way to open | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
it. You put your nail on the skin, and then you pop it open. Simple as | :16:01. | :16:11. | |
that. How does it taste? Very sweet and exotic. Like a sorbet. I should | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
not try it, because I have had a lot to me today. I will let you guys in | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
the studio trying it. -- I will let you guys in the studio try it. We | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
can hear the plane landing, screeching around the corner. | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
Here is Jay Rayner! I have never tried one of these. You have to put | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
your thumbnail into it, unless you happen to bite your thumbnail, which | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
I might. Chris, do you? Yeah, I am a bloke! Go for it, tell us what you | :16:49. | :16:55. | |
think. Is it like a light she? It is perfused me. I like it. What else | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
did you find in Berlin? One of the things I found was this, do you know | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
what this is? I bought was in a supermarket and regretted it! | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Tamarind. It is tamarind. There is an awful lot of this, there is a | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
paste inside with a lot of seeds. This is one of the major ingredients | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
for Worcestershire sauce, brown sauce. It turns up in a lot of | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
Asiana to cookery. Watch this. You can stroke these! The old ones are | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
the best. Not you, the joke! This is called... How to do one of these end | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
up in the supermarket? Up the show that I was out in Berlin is where | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
the supermarket buyers go, and they are looking for something to grab | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the public attention. That is beautiful! This is the kiwano, or | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
horned melon. I'm not entirely convinced by the taste, a cross | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
between melon and cucumber. It is more like cucumber. If you are in | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
the Kalahari desert in the dry season, I do not know why I am | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
waving this knife around! I preferred the other one. Did you? | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Back to basics, these are exotic, but what about the number one | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
selling fruit in Team GB? Any guesses? Banana! I was in rehearsal! | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
It has stayed the best. On average, we each eat about 100 bananas per | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
person per year, unless you are a two-year-old child, in which case it | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
is about 1000. They are the perfect thing to feed a toddler. But they | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
arrive green, pretty much, because they ripen off the bush. Let's put | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
up the banana chart! I love that. Millions of bananas are held in a | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
big storage facility in Coventry, where else? They come out of storage | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
according to what the supermarkets want. Most go for 3.5-4.5. I would | :19:08. | :19:19. | |
go for 7. You could take them home to ripen. Thank you very much | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
indeed. Always a pleasure. On Monday, the BBC will be telling | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
stories of life on the home front for the World War I at home season, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
and this is the first of those stories. | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
In the summer of 1916, British soldiers were fighting one of the | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
deadliest battles of the Great War. Bombardier Edward Hassell was in the | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
thick of the action with the Royal Artillery on the Somme. Any little | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
thing that reminded a soldier what he was fighting for was precious. | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
One day he came across a chocolate wrapper, and inside it there was a | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
message. From Little Joan, White Rock, Wade bridge. Some lucky | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
soldier had eaten the chocolate and discarded the wrapper. Others might | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
have passed it by, but not this Tommy. Intrigued by what he saw | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
inside, Edward was to begin one of the most extraordinary pen pal | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
relationships of the war, one that gave him a way of holding at bay the | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
worst demons of war. Dear miss Joan, I can assure you that the | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
inscription on the packet came as a message from the children of England | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
in whose defence we are fighting. In July, his letter arrived in | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
Wadebridge on the Cornish coast, but Little Joan might have needed help | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
reading it. She was just six years old. Her father replied to Edward on | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
her behalf. Ian closed her photo and asked if she had a message for the | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
man he had nicknamed her chocolate soldier. She said, yes, telling one | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
day I will marry him. -- the enclosed. The proposal appealed to | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
Edward's sense of humour. Being 33 years of age and decidedly plain and | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
as clumsiest as the clumsiest fellow living, I had abandoned hope long | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
ago, but as Joan has promised or threatened marriage, high bar with | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
the most humble grace. Edward even fashioned Little Joan and engagement | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
ring, and her photo became his lucky charm. Rather like the soldier poets | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
who wrote verse about the terror and despair that they were witnessing, | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Edward was able to briefly escape the brutal mayhem around him by | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
becoming Joan's chocolate soldier. As the battle of the Somme dragged | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
on, Edward's letters reveal how the fight became desperate. Every day he | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
witnessed his comrades make the ultimate sacrifice, hundreds of | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
thousands of men fell in this battle alone. We have been in some | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
decidedly warm positions, but the one I will call Joan's trench is the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
warmest of the lot and cost us rather dearly. It must go on and on | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
until we stagger exhausted into the arms of victory, and that will be, | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
God only knows! In his last letter, dated December 1918, Edward had not | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
forgotten his engagement to Little Joan. Mice in sea gratitude to her | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
for her magic powers as a mascot. -- my sincere. | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
One century later, the remarkable relationship lives on at the | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
Imperial War Museum. I am looking through its chocolate soldier | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
collection and introducing Joan and Edward's families to each other for | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
the very first time. It is 100 years ago, and yet as soon as you see this | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
stuff, it becomes so personal. It is amazing. Very, very moving. What | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
sort of person was she? She was a very genteel lady, very quiet. She | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
died in 1995. Married, children? Absolutely not, she did not marry | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
the chocolate soldier! Despite the warmth and affection in the letters, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Edward and Joan never got the chance to meet. Five years after the war, | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
Edward's sisters sent a final letter. I am sure you will be | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
extremely sorry to hear that Joan's dear chocolate soldier is dead after | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
a long and terribly painful illness. All through, he carried | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
with him the photo of Joan, which he regarded as his mascot. | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
Lots more like those, part of the World War I at home season, with BBC | :24:23. | :24:27. | |

Earlier we asked you to look out for the Kew Gardens Collins, 92 people | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
have found them, like Morgan. Tommy has sent in this photo, and this one | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
is not for sale! Thank you very much for all of those. Time for one last | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
piece of ninja wisdom passed down through 34 generations. Kucan | :24:59. | :25:08. | |
translates as space, learn to control the space around you, and | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
you will learn to control your inner space and the cosmos. Very good, a | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
round of applause! Thank you to Jake and Paloma, her single is out on | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
Sunday. Good luck to Wales against France, have a great weekend. Before | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
