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
