-BELL RINGS

-What you making there, Colin?

0:00:020:00:04

It's my famous home-made carrot and ginger jam.

0:00:040:00:08

Ms Hucklebuck's been under the weather all week.

0:00:080:00:10

I'm hoping it will make her feel better.

0:00:100:00:12

SNEEZING AND COUGHING

0:00:120:00:14

Best of luck with that.

0:00:140:00:16

Happy harvest, everyone.

0:00:160:00:19

Hello?

0:00:190:00:21

Hello?

0:00:220:00:24

Hello?

0:00:240:00:25

This is Brain Freeze, with...

0:00:250:00:28

Standby!

0:00:390:00:40

Come on, everybody!

0:00:400:00:42

It's time for...

0:00:450:00:47

Today's question is, will carrots turn me orange?

0:00:500:00:53

When we think of carrots, we picture the classic orange vegetable,

0:00:550:00:59

-but did you know they used to be purple?

-A purple carrot?! Yuck!

0:00:590:01:04

Before the 16th century,

0:01:040:01:06

cultivated carrots came in a mix of colours,

0:01:060:01:08

but Dutch farmers took mutant strains of the purple variety

0:01:080:01:12

and developed them into the sweet, plump, orangey ones we know today.

0:01:120:01:16

Tell me, Doctor, what is a carrot made of?

0:01:180:01:21

Carrots are full of vitamin...

0:01:210:01:22

Yes, so all of them, basically.

0:01:260:01:28

As well as...

0:01:280:01:30

OK, OK, loads of vitamins, we get it.

0:01:320:01:34

Oh, I think we need to take a break.

0:01:340:01:36

OK, everybody, take five.

0:01:360:01:40

HE KNOCKS ON DOOR

0:01:400:01:42

Yes?

0:01:420:01:43

SHE SNEEZES AND COUGHS

0:01:430:01:46

Sorry to disturb, Ms Hucklebuck.

0:01:460:01:48

I just thought I'd bring you this gift.

0:01:480:01:50

A... A gift?

0:01:500:01:52

Be right there.

0:01:550:01:58

Oh! Jam!

0:01:590:02:01

Oh, er...how, er...

0:02:010:02:04

-Thoughtful?

-How thoughtful, yes. That's a word, yes.

0:02:040:02:09

SHE SNEEZES

0:02:100:02:12

Sorry, Jonathan.

0:02:140:02:17

Ugh! My name is Colin, actually.

0:02:170:02:20

BELL RINGS Oh, crumpets!

0:02:200:02:22

Positions!

0:02:220:02:24

So tell me, Dr Knowles, will carrots turn me orange?

0:02:290:02:32

Carrots contain a molecule called carotene,

0:02:320:02:35

which gives the carrot its orange colour.

0:02:350:02:37

Too much carotene in your body can lead to

0:02:370:02:39

discolouration of the skin - a condition known as carotenemia.

0:02:390:02:43

Carotenemia? That sounds awful. When I get that if I eat carrots?

0:02:430:02:47

Don't panic, Professor,

0:02:470:02:49

you would need to eat

0:02:490:02:51

enormous amounts of carrots for this to happen.

0:02:510:02:53

Sounds like a challenge to me.

0:02:530:02:55

And even if you did turn a bit orange, it wouldn't do you any harm.

0:02:550:02:59

So there you have it, folks, carrots CAN turn you orange.

0:02:590:03:02

Sometimes we really are what we eat.

0:03:020:03:05

Which would explain why I'm looking more and more like a potato.

0:03:050:03:09

See you next time.

0:03:090:03:10

Let's get this harvest party started.

0:03:120:03:15

IRISH JIG PLAYS

0:03:150:03:18

Whoa! I never knew harvest was THIS dangerous!

0:03:200:03:23

Well, Colin, how did your jam go down with Mrs Hucklebuckle?

0:03:230:03:26

-Did she throw it back in your face?

-McCork, be careful!

0:03:260:03:31

-Don't worry, Colin, it's party time.

-Get up and have a dance!

0:03:310:03:36

Whee! I'd forgotten how much I love dancing.

0:03:360:03:39

And I've just remembered why dancing is not allowed in the studio.

0:03:390:03:44

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
