0:01:43 > 0:01:46thanks to her Little Paris Kitchen.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56A Broom Cupboard bird that had her in stitches.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00And an inspirational chef.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now, Rachel, I was going to knock you something nice

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- but will a cup of tea do? - Yes, it's fine.- Yeah?

0:02:07 > 0:02:08I'm happy with a cup of tea.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Are you excited about this trip down memory lane?- I am super-excited!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I can't wait to see what you've got lined up.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Going to show some TV highlights, things that you have chosen,

0:02:19 > 0:02:22things that you probably haven't seen since they very first

0:02:22 > 0:02:23came out but, first up,

0:02:23 > 0:02:27we're going to have a look at a very young Rachel Khoo.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Born and raised in South London,

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Rachel Khoo grew up with her Austrian mother,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35who was a secretary,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37her Malay Chinese dad, who worked in IT,

0:02:37 > 0:02:40and her younger brother, Michael.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42After a spell living in Germany,

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Rachel moved back to the UK

0:02:44 > 0:02:47where she did a degree in art and design in London.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52A developing passion for patisserie then drew Rachel to Paris where

0:02:52 > 0:02:56she graduated from Le Cordon Bleu culinary school.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00She soon established herself as an author and Rachel's third book,

0:03:00 > 0:03:04The Little Paris Kitchen, hit our TV sets in 2012.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Since then, she has continued to travel the world

0:03:07 > 0:03:10bringing all manner of cuisine to our screens whilst juggling

0:03:10 > 0:03:13her life as a bestselling writer.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17So, how important was TV?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Um...TV was very important because my parents were super-strict

0:03:21 > 0:03:23- about watching TV as a kid. - Oh, really?

0:03:23 > 0:03:29I remember as a kid with my brother we lived in our house in Bromley,

0:03:29 > 0:03:34we had the hatches from the kitchen, and it was linked to the TV room,

0:03:34 > 0:03:38the lounge, and on Saturday morning, we would squeeze ourselves through.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'm assuming they would lock the latch door.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Yeah, they locked the lounge door so we would squeeze ourselves through

0:03:43 > 0:03:46the hatch but we were little so we could manage

0:03:46 > 0:03:49through the hatch and then go and watch Saturday morning TV.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Because you wasn't allowed to?- No, we weren't allowed to watch...

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Why was you not allowed to watch? - Because my parents thought TV

0:03:55 > 0:03:57was a bad thing. Or too much TV.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Yeah, you know? So when we heard the rumble upstairs,

0:04:01 > 0:04:02parents are coming down,

0:04:02 > 0:04:05it was like, "Quick, get through the hatch again!"

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Now, we're going to start with your earliest TV memory.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Which TV cupboard really stuck with the young Rachel Khoo?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22If you're wondering what all these are, they're tomatoes.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Oh, my goodness.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Edd the Duck!- So you don't go, "Oh, Andi Peters," you go,

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- "Oh, Edd the Duck." - Oh, come on, who was the star?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32It was Edd the Duck.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Although I have met Andi Peters and he's pretty amazing, too,

0:04:36 > 0:04:37but Edd the Duck.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Look, I mean, what's not to love about Edd the Duck?

0:04:41 > 0:04:42QUACK QUACK

0:04:42 > 0:04:43First of all...

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- QUACK QUACK - You've got to have...

0:04:45 > 0:04:46QUACK QUACK QUACK

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Green fingers. You have got green fingers, very nice.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51The phone's ringing.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54The children's BBC Broom Cupboard launched in 1985.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Live from a tiny room, presenters would introduce the shows

0:04:57 > 0:05:01for that afternoon with their furry co-host beside them.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Did you love the way he translated?

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Yes, exactly.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Why are you speaking in that funny accent?

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- QUACK QUACK QUACK - Because he's a gah-dener, you see.

0:05:12 > 0:05:14And you have manure as a gah-dener, don't you?

0:05:14 > 0:05:16RACHEL LAUGHS

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Sorry, it still entertains me.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23What do you mean it's not ready yet?

0:05:23 > 0:05:25No, be quiet.

0:05:25 > 0:05:26Let me pick it...

0:05:26 > 0:05:30Now I think, like, who's the person kind of going like that?

0:05:30 > 0:05:33You like one of those ones. No, I think we'll have this one, Edd.

0:05:33 > 0:05:35No, I think we'll have this one...

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Edd the Duck was a big influence on you?

0:05:40 > 0:05:45He was like the first kind of TV show I remember as a kid.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47You know, the one after school,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49coming home from primary school

0:05:49 > 0:05:54putting the TV on and you'd see Edd the Duck

0:05:54 > 0:05:55and they'd be chatting about something.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57The problem with Edd the Duck

0:05:57 > 0:06:00was that you never knew when he was going to pop up.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01QUACK QUACK

0:06:01 > 0:06:04APPLAUSE

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Hello, Edd! How are you, mate?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Oh, my goodness!

0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'm suddenly, like, "Celebrity in the house."

0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Do you want to give him a little stroke?- Hi, Edd.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- There you go.- I love your jumper!

0:06:18 > 0:06:21Yeah, it's got 'Edd.' We've got a little game for you to play.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23- OK.- I shall translate. What is that, Edd?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

0:06:25 > 0:06:27You want her to name...

0:06:27 > 0:06:28QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

0:06:28 > 0:06:31As many of the Broom Cupboard presenters...

0:06:31 > 0:06:33as you can.

0:06:33 > 0:06:34QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

0:06:34 > 0:06:35And if you can name four...

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Oh, no!

0:06:37 > 0:06:40..Edd will come and live with you in your house forever...

0:06:40 > 0:06:43QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

0:06:43 > 0:06:46..as long as she promises never to cook orange sauce.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49OK. All right.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51I won't cook duck a l'orange.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52So...

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I've got a card here and I'll be able to tell.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, there's only one.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01There's obviously Andi Peters. And then Phillip Schofield I remember.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Andy Crane.- He's another good one.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07And then I can't remember anybody else.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Can you give me some clues?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Johnny Ball's daughter.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh! Zoe Ball.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Yes!- Well done.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17You got four. You pleased with that?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- I'm very pleased. - Edd will come and live with you.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22So, Edd, go and pack your bags and duck down.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25QUACK QUACK

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Edd the Duck!

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Woo! Yay!

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I never thought I would ever meet Edd the Duck.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42- The next choice, Rachel, is Must See TV but before we do...- Ah.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45..I've got a little surprise.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47OK. Oh, I don't know about your surprises.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I've been in the kitchen, I've been cooking.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Oh, wow!

0:07:52 > 0:07:53- And...- What have you made?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57- What do you think it looks like? - You've made lasagne!

0:07:57 > 0:08:00I have. I haven't, I bought it.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03- I don't think you have these containers.- No.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05When you look at lasagne, what does it remind you of?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07- What TV programme?- Garfield.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12I had a really big thing for Garfield.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14My brother and I had a really big thing for Garfield

0:08:14 > 0:08:16the cartoon and we loved Garfield

0:08:16 > 0:08:21so much we would make our mum make lasagne.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And you would eat that while watching Garfield.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Yes.- There's my remote.

0:08:25 > 0:08:26- OK.- Press play.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Here it is. Garfield.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Ladies and gentlemen, Garfield and Friends.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I haven't seen this in years!

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Based on cartoonist Jim Davis's comic strip called Garfield,

0:08:41 > 0:08:43this hilarious animated series

0:08:43 > 0:08:47featured the adventures of a lovable lazy cat and his friends.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52I loved, obviously, Garfield

0:08:52 > 0:08:55but the relationship between Garfield and Odie.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Odie the dog, of course. - Odie the dog.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01We're starving away to nothingness

0:09:01 > 0:09:03and all you can think about is going out?

0:09:03 > 0:09:06So what was it about that relationship that you loved so much?

0:09:06 > 0:09:14Garfield was always so miserable and all he did was sleep and eat, which

0:09:14 > 0:09:16for me is pretty much amazing.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21I love to sleep and eat, and then Odie would just be

0:09:21 > 0:09:23oblivious to everything.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26And just so joyful and up for everything.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30You know, no matter what happened, he'd go for it and Garfield's like,

0:09:30 > 0:09:32"Oh! No!"

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Grumpy, grumpy.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36Famed for his fondness of food,

0:09:36 > 0:09:39lasagne-loving Garfield's life generally revolved around

0:09:39 > 0:09:42sleeping and, not surprisingly, stuffing his face.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Sorry, cat. We close at eight sharp.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52You can't do this to me.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- You can't!- I've done that.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56I went to Japan

0:09:56 > 0:10:00and I was in Tokyo and I found this little noodle place

0:10:00 > 0:10:01I really wanted to go to

0:10:01 > 0:10:04and it wasn't open so I was banging on the door.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I was knocking on the neighbour's door and I don't speak Japanese

0:10:07 > 0:10:10and I was like... "Where's the noodle man!

0:10:10 > 0:10:11"Where's the noodle soup?"

0:10:11 > 0:10:14I think Garfield and I have a lot in common

0:10:14 > 0:10:17because food for us means so much.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Rachel, we're going to move on to your Guilty Pleasure now.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27It's an underwater sci-fi,

0:10:27 > 0:10:30and this particular episode contains talking dolphins.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Do you know what the programme is? - I think I do.- It's SeaQuest.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37RACHEL LAUGHS

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Why do you laugh? - Because I haven't seen it

0:10:40 > 0:10:43since I watched it as a teenager.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45But I was obsessed with this programme.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Really?

0:10:46 > 0:10:51Steven Spielberg's futuristic sci-fi show SeaQuest DSV

0:10:51 > 0:10:54was set in the early 21st century,

0:10:54 > 0:10:58when mankind have colonised the last unexplored region on Earth -

0:10:58 > 0:11:00the ocean.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Labelled "a wet space opera," its characters and storylines

0:11:04 > 0:11:08could have been equally at home on the Starship Enterprise.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13I was so obsessed, I had a massive fight with my mum for not letting me

0:11:13 > 0:11:15- watch it one day.- Really?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18She wanted me to do some cleaning and help out in the house,

0:11:18 > 0:11:20and I was like, "I've got to watch it!"

0:11:20 > 0:11:22You know, it's, "Something dramatic is going to happen!"

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Oh, right. - General, he's a dolphin, not a spy.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Sir, you can't put him in just any ecology.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30He's going to get sick in there.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Your mammal is responsible for a breach in UEO security.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Until we find out who he's talking to, we intend to keep an eye on him.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39My friend, have you been sending messages?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44It was set in the future, this is 2018.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's 2018? That's in, like, two years' time!

0:11:48 > 0:11:50I know, I know!

0:11:52 > 0:11:55I've gone blank on his name, but that young guy with his,

0:11:55 > 0:11:56like, tousled hair...

0:11:56 > 0:11:58- Yeah.- ..I had the biggest crush on him.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00I think he was my first TV crush.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02His name was Jonathan Brandis.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06Jonathan Brandis. I had a poster of him on my wall in my room.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Look at it. I don't think we're going to sneak him

0:12:09 > 0:12:10a flounder with a file in it.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13The captain of the SeaQuest was played by the late,

0:12:13 > 0:12:17great Roy Scheider, who's best known as Chief Brody in Jaws.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Which meant he was well accustomed to performing

0:12:20 > 0:12:23with these very lifelike animatronic sea creatures.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28Thankfully, Darwin the dolphin was much less frightening than Jaws.

0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Who's returning?- Invitation.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Co-operation.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38So was it for the brilliant storylines you watched this for,

0:12:38 > 0:12:39or was it cos you had a crush?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41Well, what do you think?

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Come on, I was a teenage girl, all the crazy hormones.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48It was him and Take That.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Hey!

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- The aliens?- Visitors coming.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57It would be funny to watch this now and see what kind of technology

0:12:57 > 0:12:59they're using.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03I withheld very important information from these people.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05I'm lucky I'm not in jail.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07I think the dolphin was the best actor in that scene!

0:13:07 > 0:13:08RACHEL LAUGHS

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Hey, don't slate my Jonathan!

0:13:11 > 0:13:12Oh, really!

0:13:12 > 0:13:15So, was you a bit of a sci-fi geek?

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I don't think...- Or was it really, purely down to Jonathan?

0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think it was purely down to Jonathan.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Oh, really?- If he was on I was, like, glued to the TV.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25But now watching it I'm like, "Oh, my goodness."

0:13:25 > 0:13:27My taste has evolved.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29- Oh, really?- Yeah.- Yeah? - Just slightly.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32I don't think this would be my guilty pleasure any more.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34- No?- No, no.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42And we're going to move on to your next choice now.

0:13:42 > 0:13:47- Mm-hmm.- A show that had you all huddled around the TV.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48This is your Family Favourite.

0:13:50 > 0:13:52- What's it called?- Food and Drink!

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Food and Drink. - I remember that theme tune!

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Undoubtedly a trailblazer when it comes to foodie telly,

0:13:59 > 0:14:02the original series of Food and Drink had viewers hooked

0:14:02 > 0:14:04from 1982 to 2001.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10Regularly presented by Chris Kelly and the late Michael Barry,

0:14:10 > 0:14:13the hit show also made household names of wine experts

0:14:13 > 0:14:15Oz Clarke and Jilly Goolden.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19The series wasn't just about good food and wine.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22It also tackled hard-hitting topical news stories

0:14:22 > 0:14:27such as the BSE crisis, and exposed dodgy products.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31And it saw early appearances of many of today's celebrity chefs,

0:14:31 > 0:14:32including Jamie Oliver.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37That was the one TV show we were allowed to stay up for.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Oh, really?- Yeah.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41Because your family, your mum, your dad,

0:14:41 > 0:14:42they were passionate about food,

0:14:42 > 0:14:46- as well?- Yeah, they loved to watch, you know, this show.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49- It was really popular at that time! - Oh, it was very popular.- Yeah.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51This is what happens if you take the front off,

0:14:51 > 0:14:52show you what goes on inside.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Whacky wine critic Jilly Goolden is known fondly

0:14:55 > 0:14:59for teaching the nation to sniff, sip and swill.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02So the wine doesn't get spoilt by oxidation.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Incidentally, this valve is so powerful

0:15:04 > 0:15:05that when you've emptied the bag,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08you can blow it up and use it as a beach pillow when it's finished.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11- OK!- There you go! - I didn't know that!

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- You'd be so drunk you won't bother with it.- No!

0:15:14 > 0:15:15You'd just be collapsed.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19I did always wonder how they, you know,

0:15:19 > 0:15:23drink everything and not end up a little bit tipsy on the show.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yeah, yeah. And of course, she...

0:15:25 > 0:15:32Jilly always had a wonderful way of explaining the bouquet of a certain

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- drink.- She would always use words - as a kid I would be like, "Ooh,

0:15:36 > 0:15:37"what does that mean?"

0:15:38 > 0:15:41And the kind of facial expressions.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42Yeah.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44I wonder if she had to warm up beforehand.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yeah, yeah, yeah!

0:15:46 > 0:15:47- We've got a little game...- OK.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49..that we would like you to warm up to.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Yeah.- A little wine-tasting game.

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Ooh!- Excuse me while I go to the kitchen. A little...

0:15:54 > 0:15:57Oh, blimey, I knocked the door there, I nearly lost them.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Don't trip up now!- No, I won't.

0:15:59 > 0:16:01So we've got three bottles of wine here.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06- Uh-huh.- And, of course, Jilly was always wonderful at explaining

0:16:06 > 0:16:11how the aroma of the wine, you know, felt and tasted.

0:16:11 > 0:16:12Yeah. Very creative.

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Yes. We've got three bottles of wine,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18and we'll be showing you three vintage clips from Jilly.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21- But, firstly, you've got to taste it.- OK.- So is that A?

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- I think that's A.- Oh, right, they you go, so you're sober.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Yeah, let's make the most of this.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29So have a little sniff. Oh, and, er,

0:16:29 > 0:16:31I've got a little cup here if you wish to spit it out,

0:16:31 > 0:16:35if you want to be all professional, or you're just going to drink it.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37I'm just going to drink it!

0:16:37 > 0:16:40I can swirl it around, and you're supposed to look at the tears.

0:16:40 > 0:16:44So when Jilly tasted this wine, did she say,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47"It tastes of rainy days and Mondays,"

0:16:47 > 0:16:51"It tastes like bracken shoots on a hot heath,"

0:16:51 > 0:16:56or C, "It's like a bag of chips with a pickled egg."

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Bag of chips with a pickled egg!

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Erm...

0:17:00 > 0:17:01Yeah, go with A.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05You're going to go with A, tastes like rainy days and Mondays.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- Let's find out.- Mmm!

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Bracken shoots on a hot heath, absolutely wonderful!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12Oh, the correct answer was B,

0:17:12 > 0:17:15it tastes like bracken shoots on a hot heath.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Oh, but rainy days! So, so poetic!

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Let's see if you can get the next one right.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23So, when Jilly tasted this one, did she say,

0:17:23 > 0:17:27"It has hints of peanut butter and jam,"

0:17:27 > 0:17:30"It tastes like dry, salty fish,"

0:17:30 > 0:17:36"It's got a lovely, buxom quality with pert acidity

0:17:36 > 0:17:38"and a slick of green apples"?

0:17:38 > 0:17:41I think there's definitely something pert about this white wine.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Right, so you're going with the slick of green apples.

0:17:44 > 0:17:45Mmm!

0:17:45 > 0:17:48Buxom quality, but with pert acidity and a lovely sort of

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- slick of green apple.- Yes!

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Yes, well done!

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yay!

0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well done. Rachel, here's your final one.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- All right.- So when Jilly tasted this one, did she say,

0:18:01 > 0:18:05"It has an undercurrent of village ponds."

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Do I really want to drink it with village...?

0:18:08 > 0:18:12"It tastes like a fireplace dusted with icing sugar,"

0:18:12 > 0:18:16or C, "We're getting a bit bathroomy,

0:18:16 > 0:18:18"this one is just like bath salts,

0:18:18 > 0:18:20"but lovely bath salts"?

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Let's go with the bath salts.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Now this one is just like bath salts when you get there,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29absolutely extraordinary, lovely bath salts, of course.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32- Yes!- You are correct, well done indeed!

0:18:32 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE

0:18:34 > 0:18:38You have a very good palate - two out of three is not bad.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40It's not bad, with a cold as well!

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yeah, yeah, yeah,! - Ah!- Very impressed.

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Well, time for a break now, a commercial break.- OK.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53And one that I hope brings back some really good memories.

0:18:53 > 0:18:55Have a little look at this.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Showing a bushy-browed teenager's panic

0:19:02 > 0:19:04in the aftermath of a house party,

0:19:04 > 0:19:07this classic ad was one of a series of mini-drama adverts

0:19:07 > 0:19:09for the Yellow Pages.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Who are you?

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- That's Jake Wood from EastEnders, there.- Oh, really?!

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Oh, hello, French polishers?

0:19:19 > 0:19:21It's just possible you could save my life.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31PHONE RINGS

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Mum, just landed?

0:19:34 > 0:19:37Oh, quiet.

0:19:37 > 0:19:38I'm on my way.

0:19:42 > 0:19:46- So, what was it about that advert that you loved so much?- Well...

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- a similar thing happened to me. - What, you had a party?

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Well, not quite.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54I did some artwork on the dining room table

0:19:54 > 0:19:57and I was cutting something out and I thought,

0:19:57 > 0:20:01"Oh, I don't need a mat." And I cut it and then I got a mark.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03So I thought, "I'll file it."

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Oh, no!- And the mark became a dip.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09And then my dad banished me to the garden shed.

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Forever onwards I had to do artwork in the garden shed,

0:20:13 > 0:20:17because I didn't think of Yellow Pages.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Man, if I had the Yellow Pages at the time

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I would have given somebody a call.

0:20:21 > 0:20:25But, yeah... So I can associate with that feeling of getting

0:20:25 > 0:20:27- a scratch on the table.- Yeah.- Yep.

0:20:33 > 0:20:36So, your next choice is a lady who has been cooking

0:20:36 > 0:20:38on our screens since the early '70s.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41You have chosen her as your biggest influence.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44And here she is destroying a coconut.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Well, now we're going to go on a long journey

0:20:47 > 0:20:49all the way from Thailand to Sri Lanka.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52And I want to show you a curry recipe that a friend of mine

0:20:52 > 0:20:55- brought back from there. - Look at the earrings!- I know...

0:20:55 > 0:20:57..which is a fresh coconut.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Her earrings are nearly as big as the coconut!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02..not exactly user-friendly.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Champion of back-to-basics cookery,

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Delia Smith is so influential

0:21:06 > 0:21:09that she created a phenomenon known as the Delia Effect -

0:21:09 > 0:21:13a celebrity endorsement that prompts a shopper stampede.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Put the coconut inside the polythene bag.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Then you need a really heavy object,

0:21:18 > 0:21:21something like a big hammer or a mallet.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23I think we know what's going to happen, don't we?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25- I think there's something quite brutal about this.- Yeah.

0:21:25 > 0:21:28And then you put the coconut onto the concrete...

0:21:28 > 0:21:30In the past, the Delia Effect

0:21:30 > 0:21:33has caused a national cranberry shortage

0:21:33 > 0:21:36and seen salted caper sales rise by 350%.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40She enjoyed that, didn't she?

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Yeah, I think so.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I think what's great about Delia, she always gave us a little tip,

0:21:44 > 0:21:46didn't she? A handy hint.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Yeah, she was good at giving tips and it was always very clear.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54You know, nothing too complicated in terms of techniques.

0:21:54 > 0:21:57And just keep sliding the knife in,

0:21:57 > 0:22:00right underneath and then it'll just prise it away, like that.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04And nowadays, you say, "Just buy at your supermarket already prepared."

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yeah. But she was a huge influence?

0:22:07 > 0:22:10Definitely. I mean, she was, for me...

0:22:10 > 0:22:16Delia was the first solo cookery... personality I watched on TV.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19And I remember watching a lot of her shows

0:22:19 > 0:22:23like Christmas shows and like this one here as a kid

0:22:23 > 0:22:27and enjoying them, obviously.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30But also being interested in what she was cooking

0:22:30 > 0:22:31and discovering new things.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35And I always feel she's kind of combined that kind of

0:22:35 > 0:22:40educational part and also the delicious part, because the food...

0:22:40 > 0:22:42As a kid, it looked really tasty.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47Nowadays, filming food on TV has evolved a little bit,

0:22:47 > 0:22:50the styling is a little bit different. But I think

0:22:50 > 0:22:55back in the '80s, it was pretty...exciting.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56- Yeah.- To see all the different...

0:22:56 > 0:23:01Like, there, cooking a Thai curry, I'd never tasted a Thai curry.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05So it was interesting to see all these flavours and things she was

0:23:05 > 0:23:07exploring and different ingredients.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10I think when you're growing up as a young girl, a young woman,

0:23:10 > 0:23:14it's great to see a woman on TV

0:23:14 > 0:23:20doing her own show and doing it really well and...

0:23:20 > 0:23:22being intelligent about it as well.

0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Yeah, yeah.- I think it's educational in the way she talks about food,

0:23:26 > 0:23:28but it's still tasty.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37Rachel, we've seen the television that has influenced you

0:23:37 > 0:23:42but we're going to have a look at your big break. Ms Rachel Khoo.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46This is French food the way the Parisians cook and eat it.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48C'est tout. That's it.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51People always ask me, "Was it really your home?"

0:23:51 > 0:23:53I was like, "Yes!"

0:23:53 > 0:23:56From her own tiny kitchen in Paris to the capital's

0:23:56 > 0:24:00beautiful bistros, Rachel revealed French cooking for the 21st century.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04It was this big, the camera was this big,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07we all had to squeeze in like this, you know.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10- The cameraman...- I think that's what gave it its appeal.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Yes.- People are always talking about that tiny kitchen.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15And what you created in that tiny kitchen.

0:24:15 > 0:24:16- Yeah.- It was charming.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20Thank you. All right, for the pistou sauce, it's really easy.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23'Sometimes, you know, the director said, "OK, Rachel,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26'"we need a shot of you stirring the bowl'

0:24:26 > 0:24:28"but your head is in the way."

0:24:28 > 0:24:30And I'm like, "OK..."

0:24:30 > 0:24:33So the cameraman would squeeze in behind me

0:24:33 > 0:24:36and he'd have the camera over my shoulder

0:24:36 > 0:24:39and I would be like mixing like this

0:24:39 > 0:24:41and then, like, trying to get that shot.

0:24:41 > 0:24:43So, you know, if we had a behind-the-scenes,

0:24:43 > 0:24:45it would have been very funny.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48- I would have liked to have seen that.- Yeah, and all the camera kit,

0:24:48 > 0:24:50you know, the bags, was popped in the bath tub.

0:24:50 > 0:24:52- No!- Cos there was no room anywhere else.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56- That's lovely.- Yeah, so, no, it was... It was good fun.

0:24:56 > 0:24:57Would you go back to that?

0:24:57 > 0:24:58Um...

0:24:58 > 0:25:01- No.- No?- I went mad by the end of it.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04I was banging my head against the chopping board.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06All you need now is some sunflower oil.

0:25:06 > 0:25:10Traditional pistou is a bit like the very popular Italian pesto,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13it just doesn't have pine nuts or Parmesan in it.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15And you're going to blend it up.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17'I still have that blender at home.'

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- It works!- And it's got tape on it cos it's, like, falling apart.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26You can use it like a pesto, but it also goes well with potatoes,

0:25:26 > 0:25:27lamb chops.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30And because it has no dairy, it's great for vegans.

0:25:33 > 0:25:34Mm, good.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37It must have been amazing. Did you think it was going to take off?

0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Did you have a feeling?- I mean...

0:25:40 > 0:25:43I knew something big was going to happen, because...

0:25:43 > 0:25:46just to be on the BBC, it's huge.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Even in France, you know, they know...

0:25:49 > 0:25:51"BBC? C'est le BBC."

0:25:52 > 0:25:55So I knew something was definitely going to change.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59But, at the same time, because I still lived in Paris

0:25:59 > 0:26:01when the show kicked off,

0:26:01 > 0:26:05I didn't experience that recognising you on the street

0:26:05 > 0:26:07and stuff like that. So my life continued

0:26:07 > 0:26:11as...as usual, you know? It was just when I went back to London

0:26:11 > 0:26:15or, you know, I hop on the train, go back for some meetings

0:26:15 > 0:26:18then I would notice, like, either I had something funny

0:26:18 > 0:26:20on my face when I was on the Tube or people

0:26:20 > 0:26:23were like, "Oh, I recognise her," or something like that. So, yeah.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31Rachel, what do you watch now?

0:26:31 > 0:26:34What do I watch now? So, I love box sets.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yeah.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38And I don't really have a TV.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41I have a computer. I didn't even have a TV in my kitchen in Paris,

0:26:41 > 0:26:45it was the oven or the TV, and I needed the oven more.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48So recently,

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Luther was on again,

0:26:50 > 0:26:54The Fall. I love all those crime series.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56I'm not so much into cookery shows,

0:26:56 > 0:26:59cos when I watch cookery shows I'm like, "How did they film that?

0:26:59 > 0:27:02- "What camera angle?" - So it's like a busman's holiday?

0:27:02 > 0:27:03Yes. Yeah, yeah.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Rachel, you've been a wonderful guest.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08You've brought a ray of sunshine to my sofa.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Oh, thank you!

0:27:10 > 0:27:13I want to thank you and I also want to give you the opportunity now

0:27:13 > 0:27:15to choose a theme tune for us to play out on.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Have you thought about this? - Yes. I have thought about it.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22So one of the shows I used to watch as a teenager was, in German,

0:27:22 > 0:27:26which is also very bizarre, The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Ah.- And I can't rap but I like the tune.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31It's always so fun.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Yeah.- And it's like...

0:27:33 > 0:27:35When you hear it, it's like, "Oh, yeah!"

0:27:35 > 0:27:38- Yeah.- So I thought that would be a good tune for the end.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40- Thank you very much.- Thank you!

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Two.- Oh, two. I forget.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46- Don't worry. - So, my thanks to you, Rachel,

0:27:46 > 0:27:49and my thanks to you for watching The TV That Made Me.

0:27:49 > 0:27:50We'll see you next time. Bye-bye.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53# I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there

0:27:53 > 0:27:56# I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

0:28:04 > 0:28:07# In west Philadelphia born and raised

0:28:07 > 0:28:10# On the playground was where I spent most of my days

0:28:10 > 0:28:12# Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

0:28:12 > 0:28:14# And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school

0:28:14 > 0:28:17# When a couple of guys who were up to no good

0:28:17 > 0:28:19# Started making trouble in my neighbourhood

0:28:19 > 0:28:21# I got in one little fight and my mom got scared

0:28:21 > 0:28:24# And said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air"

0:28:24 > 0:28:26# I whistled for a cab and when it came near

0:28:26 > 0:28:29# The license plate said 'FRESH' and it had dice in the mirror... #
