29/01/2016 The One Show

It is time for The One Show with Alex Jones and are not's guest

presenter. Be careful. -- tonight's guest presenter. Are you all right?

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

And our guest host tonight, our favourite Iranian comedian,

film star and all-round hell-raiser Omid Djalili.

Happy to be on the show? I have been on five times, and it was always an

honour, I had no idea it was work experience. It was all leading to

this moment. Tonight's show is all

about going back in time. To the time I was on the show

and scored a goal Just look at the reaction! It was

very impressive. The time I was on the show

and started a fight in the studio? That was terrible, I feel so bad

about that. Honestly, such a ruffian. I'm so sorry.

When I played the Golden fleece in Jason and the Argonauts? Luckily, we

don't have a clip from that. We are going even further back.

Because tonight's guest isn't just a columnist and food critic -

he's also an expert in taking people back to the past.

I love this man. You managed to upset everyone in Portugal, you have

upset a whole country without starting a war. They are very

sensitive, I wrote a review of a Portuguese restaurant, and we know

that their food is the worst of any developed country, but the

Portuguese did not think so and I was trolled by 10,000 people. I

think I put a whole nation on Twitter. Their food is as bad as

ours, that is what you said? That is right. They like fried fish and cold

custard, but they have better weather and beaches, but they were

very sensitive about that. Maybe there will be a few more on twitter

after that. We have some project is in our audience. There will be

Portuguese subtitles among the bottom, that is my concern.

As we're celebrating all things retro,

we'd like you to send us a picture of yourself with something

in your home that will make us go "I remember that".

Send your pictures to the usual address and we'll show some later.

Today saw the end of an era as the last ever Land Rover Defender

came off the production line in Solihull.

That car will be on the piazza at the end of the show. We have filled

it with many lovely land Rovers, classic ones, to welcome it, aren't

they beautiful? Quentin Wilson's been turning back

the clock on this classic Loved by secret agents, the

military, explorers, emergency services, while T, land Rovers have

been charming and disarming us for almost 70 years -- royalty. The Land

Rover Defender, although it was not always Colback, in 1948 it was

called the series one -- although it was not always called that. There

are no gadgets, no safety, but for all that, you had to look elsewhere.

An amazing 2 million Land Rover defenders have rolled off the

production line since 1948 and now the most familiar car silhouette has

come to the end of the road. Next time you are late for work... White

Mac it was promoted as being almost indestructible and it could do

virtually everything as a four-wheel drive. It all started by chance in

1948. The chief designer had been using a wartime cheap for mucking

about on the family's 250 acre farm in North Wales. Morris knew that

post-war Britain needed a utilitarian workhorse and set about

making prototypes of a multipurpose four-wheel drive go anywhere car.

And so the name Land Rover was born, it was as British as a bulldog and

as tough as a mountain goat. That strong Chasse was all steel. Even if

it was built overseas, it always started live here in Solihull, it

went away as a kit and it was assembled locally. That was one of

the unique things about the Land Rover. Soon after its launch at the

1948 Amsterdam motor show, it became one of the most successful exports

were Britain, sold in 200 different countries. -- for Britain. 78% are

still trundling around in every corner of every foreign field. Over

the years they have been used for hundreds of applications, so many

that nobody has ever counted them all. There is no doubt today's Land

Rover has been improved, but it has been kibosh by the EU, it could not

meet the emission rules, and this motoring magazines not rated at all.

Just one star in your magazine. This is looking at it objectively, the

last up to upgrade was 25 years ago, and there are cars which do this

more safely and more efficiently and there are cars which do this

more cheaply. Which card you drive at home? I have a 2005 Land Rover

Defender, because objectively it is not the best, but subjectively it is

very easy to fall in love with. Here is the thing, you can't call the

Land Rover a car or a vehicle, it is a piece of British engineering

brilliance that makes you want to burst out cheering. It is a

fantastic vehicle. burst out cheering. It is a

on your face when you are driving. My wife said to me, do you realise

what you've done? She said, you've walked up the drive and you looked

at your Land Rover and you smiled at it, and she said, you don't smile at

me like that. It is a beautiful classic. Absolutely beautiful.

Giles, you are Baggins and the weekend. This is your new show, Back

In Time For The Weekend. -- bullseye what is the premise? It is about the

way that eating has changed in the last 60 years, this is more about

leisure time and technology. We sent them back to the 1950s and we strip

out the decoration. Their own house? Yes, their actual own house. It is

insane, they are taking the tiles of the kitchen, completely transformed.

Absolutely. It is all the technology, take off the Wi-Fi,

there's no television, no iPhone, no house phone, take them back to the

austerity of the 1950s. The front room is just a chair for dad to sit

down and smoke a pipe and a big brown piano which is not in June. A

couple of books and the morning paper -- tune. You go through the

decades. The 60s and 70s. Yes, it is basically the olden days, for the

kids it is boring, and for mother it is housework, and dad is going to

work reading the paper. What you realise, when you get into the 60s,

they are so excited, the 60s was not that much better than the 50s, but

you are so excited if you have done a week in the 50s, you now have a

phone box at the end of the road. Is that your favourite decade? I was

born within the last few weeks of the 60s, I don't remember it that

well. You are in your 40s, incredible? Yes, I do so many back

in time shows, I'm actually getting younger! This is when they saw their

new home for the first time, the Ashby Hawkins family. Oh! This looks

so great. Wow. Oh no. It feels like the house has gone back to where it

started. I like this room, actually. But it feels like I'm in my

grandmother's house. Is that a radio? Yes. Where is the TV going to

go? Is that the entertainment, mum playing the piano every evening?

APPLAUSE The family have joined. Can you

introduce us? This is Steph, the mother, this is Rob, the father,

this is Seth, 12-year-old son, and this is Daisy, who is still 16. They

are wonderful. It must have been such an experience for you as a

family, and I understand you did this over the summer holidays,

something do together. In the 50s, the first episode, the shock at how

different life was for a woman back then, what about that? It was

horrendous, I gave up my summer holiday to do this and I ended up a

slave for everybody else, I had crinkly nails and they broke, it was

brutal, actually. We had some fun, but it was a real culture shock.

Daisy, you would not supposed usual smartphone, did you do that

privately? -- use your. The producer took them away and I had no contact

at all, and I enjoyed that. I had a really nice experience.

You look absolutely gorgeous, you are in the style. Dad, this was a

strange one, you could sit back a bit, even though you are a stay at

home dad in real life. Apart from the DIY. Yes, I looked after for

lovely children in the day, but here I could put my feet up and make

great items like that. Very sturdy. Yes, that is not wobbling. It is my

attractive modern table, as I like to call it, that is how it was

described in the brochure. I was so impressed, I could not wait to show

Giles. It was great to watch you, we had just seen the first episode and

it is great viewing. Thank you very much.

Back In Time For The Weekend starts on Tuesday at 8pm on BBC Two.

Time now for a challenge, Ricky has gone to meet the Germans with a true

1970s recipe. Normally The One Show viewers come to my restaurant, in my

hometown, to take me on in a cookery crash, but today things are a bit

different, because this time I will be taking on another professional,

Stephan, on his home turf in his home country, making his signature

dish, in Black Forest gateau. Have I got what it takes to beat the

professional? In the UK, black forest gateau had a very average

reputation in the 70s, but here it is a speciality. Yes, it is a

speciality, if you make it well. I've been making it now 30 years.

The last time I made it was in the 80s at college, I think I've got my

work cut out. Stephan's bakery in Munich is award-winning, I'm dubious

about even showing him my ingredients. I'm giving this a bit

of a twist. I will make a chocolate ganache and I will use mascarpone E

and cherry jam. Are you horrified? No, but that is a bit different. It

will be interesting, maybe... As well as cream and cherries and

chocolate, Stephan is using a look made from cherries grown in the

Black Forest -- liquor. You are using starch and a flour, why is

that? It makes it softer and lighter. The bad start by making our

chocolate sponge. You are not just an average baker? I won a

competition last year and I have been named the Best bakery in

Bavaria. You are the best bakery in Bavaria and you have been making

black forest gateau 30 years? I'm a bit nervous, because you are one of

the best cooks in England. Thank you very much. I'm not sure about that!

LAUGHTER Both sponges go in the Avenue and

I'm feeling anxious. I'm starting to understand how contestants feel when

they come into my kitchen, because this is his domain, if this was a

football match it would be an away match. -- go in the oven. Stephan

starts to put his gateau together, but I've hit a problem, the oven is

not reaching the same temperature mine does, my sponge has not risen

and I'm running out of time. Stressful, very stressful.

Eventually they do come out, it is a race against the clock to catch up

with Stefan. After the finishing touches are applied it is time for a

cheeky peek. It tastes very fruity, interesting, very good. This is

superb. What we used to get in the 1970s in the UK, it was not this.

Enter our German mystery diner, he has a palette perfected the

puddings. Like any mystery diner, maintaining anonymity is essential,

and soon he will crown one of our dishes a dream desert and the other

a dining disaster. First, Stephan's traditional black forest gateau,

perfected over 30 years. It is obvious this means a lot to both of

us. Next, my British black forest gateau with a rich chocolate can Ash

and mascarpone filling. The loser's dish is sent back to the kitchen

after the decision is made. The winner is left for us to uncover. I

cannot read that, that is in German. My cake, it is fluffy, not so sweet.

Mine? The chocolate is very good, he likes the styling, it is excellent.

He can't tell which is yours and which is mine. But it was very

close. So who has won? Oh! Well done. Mine was very different to

German cakes, do you think you might sell something like that in your

bakery one day? I will do, but a different name. Ricky's special

chocolate cake. Nice. Thank you very much.

Poor Ricky, I'm not sure he stood a chance with that one,

but if you'd like to try his or Stefan's recipes,

And if you've think you can make a dish better than anyone else -

including Ricky - send us an email and you could take part in the next

Giles you are a restaurant critic - you must love puddings?

It is not your favourite thing? I think sugary things are for ladies

and children. I eat ten or 15 meals out every week. If I ate pudding

every week I would be too fat to get through the door. If I went out for

dinner with you when there was no pudding, I would eat you! This next

section will be perfect for you. Well as we've just heard

all about the Black Forest gateau, which we know is 70s,

we thought we'd ask Giles to take us First of all, everybody deed in and

grab a spoon. Seth, I think you can be the chief taster. -- everybody

dig in. Baked Alaska, everyone had this in the 50s because they had a

gas cooker, so you could cook something tricky like that.

Something to impress your friends. Warm on the outside but cold on the

middle. A bit like the doner kebab. Quite difficult to make back then.

Seth, what do you make of the Baked Alaska? Quite nice, really tasty. We

have more where that came from. Dave, the next one, please. Come on

Dave. Don't be put off by Dave. He disgusts me. You are putting me off!

Back to the 60s with this. This may look like food of the past but in

the 60s this was food of the future, this was eaten in

the 60s this was food of the future, Delight. Made from powder. Quite

late in the 60s. And Delight. Made from powder. Quite

to have a fridge otherwise you could not set it. It

you have in your home and the brave new world you are moving into. Does

it taste good? Disgusting. Seth? That is the best is so far. It is

quite bland. LAUGHTER So futuristic at the time, like you

say. Brilliant. Good. Have you had problems to my getting your baby to

sleep? Seriously, sit down with them

and get them watch this. For thousands of years parents have

sunk their babies to sleep. References to lullabies date back to

medieval times. There is something very mysterious about these strange

songs, handed down over generations. I want to crack the formula and

write my own lullaby with the power to induce slumber. But first, do

lullabies really have a soothing effect? Doctor Pickett has monitored

their effectiveness. We did a study here where we played to lullabies

their effectiveness. We did a study children, and during the session we

measured physiological parameters and were able to show that after

listening to lullabies, the children's heart rate tended to slow

down, and their perception of pain tended to be lowered. We could show

it was music that had this beneficial physiological response.

So can I write a lullaby that works? I have enlisted an early childhood

studies lecturer. One of my favourite lullabies, very

simple, but if I'm going to deconstruct lullabies, what do I

need to put into my song? I think you might try a falling melody. When

people speak to babies and they want to soothe them they would do this

with their voice, ahhh. If you put that into twinkle twinkle Little

Star, you have the falling notes going down.

Exactly. What about words? Something like rock-a-bye baby, the cradle

will fall and smash... Why do they have such strange words that go with

soothing melodies? Historically they have been about people's hardships.

Very often women will sing about the woes of their days. Singing can also

act as a safety valve. I have never thought of it for both parent and

baby. That is the power of the lullaby, isn't it?

As I put the finishing touches to my lullaby, ten of the harshest critics

rolled up. What will they make of it? I would love it to work. I don't

think it will get her to sleep, she is very excited. My masterpiece has

a falling melody and lyrics about a minor domestic crisis but my

audience seems unimpressed. It is a shaky start but after just

four minutes, something magical happens. One little baby is starting

to go to sleep, so we have one. Within five minutes three are sleep

and by the end of the session it has gone very quiet. Seven. I never

thought we would have this many. Whether they would have nodded off

anyway is hard to say, but seven out of ten isn't bad!

So, am I going to gain immortality by having this lullaby being sung in

a hundred years' time? You should sort out the patents for that. I was

shocked, I didn't think she would fall asleep at all. Very surprised.

Almost all the babies managed to fall asleep. I did not expect him to

fall asleep as quickly as he did. Normally I would be mortally

offended if the audience fell asleep during one of my gigs but I think

it's fair to say my lullaby is a bit of a hit this crowd.

If you want to hear Richard's whole lullaby, it's on our website.

And the first one is though to sleep! -- go to sleep.

As we mentioned, the last Land Rover Defender rolled

off the line this morning and before it arrives here -

let's meet some true Land Rover fans.

First up - This is Rosemary and Simon.

This Defender has been a very special member of a family, not this

one. Hello Rosemary and Simon. It has played a huge part in your life,

the Defender. Tell us about your wedding and its connection? Our

wedding we used the Defender to get to the wedding and afterward for our

honeymoon and a holiday. It was beautiful. It has seen all the ups

and downs of your life. Simon was the enthusiast. How long did it take

to convince you to convert? My first trip out in it, I loved it. A lovely

example. Thank you, rosemary and Simon.

Next - some mountain rescue heroes - in you come!

From the Glossop mountain rescue team in Derbyshire.

You have done lots of rescuing in Land Rover 's? Yes, it has been the

workhorse of our volunteers in the last 40 years. Helping people with

the floods in Cumbria? Yes, up to Cumbria, York and Salford as well.

Delivering a baby? Six years ago when we had bad snow we had a baby

born in the back of our own vehicle. Fantastic. If anything goes wrong in

your career, you have a very good one as an Omid Djalili lookalike.

Thank you. Tim is up next. In you come. Well, what a gorgeous one this

is! It is lovely. You have owned this Defender for many years,

haven't you? 42 years, since I was 16. Was this the third one off the

production line? Yes, the third one ever built. The Amsterdam show

vehicle. My sister Lemi ?200 to buy it. What an investment because you

have had bit long time. Where did the interest up? My uncle had Land

Rovers and I was or is very mechanical. I saw one when I was on

holiday in Devon. What is the name of your wife? Adriano. Thank you for

joining us. Finally, time for the last ever Land Rover Defender to

arrive. Driving this car is Nick Rogers, who is in charge of the Land

Rover Defender project. Tell us this is a last Defender to come off the

line ever? Of course, the Defender will never end. This is the one for

today, this era but that pioneering spirit that made this car fantastic

will live on. There are thousands of engineers and designers who will

deliver a fantastic Defender. This is just a pause but they will be a

great future. What happens to this very last one? This will be loved

and cherished because it is a very special one. It will be used for

special events and VIP events. Thank you so much and thank you for

bringing it down today all the way from Solihull.

Earlier we asked for your pictures of you and your retro objects.

We have loads. Thank you, Giles. Keith Wilson's wife with a chopper

bike and a BMX. He sent you a photo of his chopper, amazing! Before we

had TVs you put those on put light behind it. I had an ET one of those.

Sally sent this, she got it for Christmas last year and loves it.

What is it? What were they called? Homepride.

Have you enjoyed yourself? The greatest moment of my life.

Don't forget Back in Time for the Weekend starts on Tuesday

And I'll be back on Monday with Matt, when we'll be joined
