0:01:17 > 0:01:21rice arrived in Naples and so it was thought of in different ways.We

0:01:21 > 0:01:26have prosecco gravy as a little twist, a lodge to Britain and nod to

0:01:26 > 0:01:33Wales... Not to Wales? Mode to Italy.It is an hot much to you so

0:01:33 > 0:01:41whoa but it is made with prosecco so it is a nod to the region of Venice.

0:05:18 > 0:05:28social media. You can chip in what you like. We are going to cook.

0:05:32 > 0:05:41It is the way you walk! Let's start off. We are making a beautiful rice

0:05:41 > 0:05:48baked so we make making risotto. They're going to be a lovely source.

0:05:48 > 0:05:55We are making a stock. I am going to start off with this one. I have

0:05:55 > 0:06:04because it will add to some extra -- cloves.It is an unusual addition.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08You make vegetable stock and to start with, Gennaro will agree with

0:06:08 > 0:06:13me, when you go to a market in Italy, whichever market you go to,

0:06:13 > 0:06:17you always get for free the elements that will help you make both stock

0:06:17 > 0:06:24and soft free to for your week. You will leave it in your fridge and add

0:06:24 > 0:06:30to all of your recipes.Celery, carrots and onions you are always

0:06:30 > 0:06:37getting free.And you can have potatoes and tomatoes in the stock.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42There is no limit to the vegetables you can put in. I see that you have

0:06:42 > 0:06:53put onion into the pan but there is whoa whether one should use union or

0:06:53 > 0:06:58garlic. People always discuss about it. I am for the money and so we

0:06:58 > 0:07:13will chuck the garlic this is going to have the air we are going to fry

0:07:13 > 0:07:20the objective is to make it lovely and crunchy for a before we at the

0:07:20 > 0:07:25labels of stock and we are going to cook it in a lovely way. We are

0:07:25 > 0:07:31going to massage it around for about two minutes, and then we are going

0:07:31 > 0:07:36to add labels of stock and after about 15 minutes, when this is going

0:07:36 > 0:07:44to be lovely cooked, we are going to add up some butter and some lovely

0:07:44 > 0:07:49Parmesan.I am making the source. This is a basic rule and we are

0:07:49 > 0:07:56going to use a bit of green. What other spices?We are using nutmeg,

0:07:56 > 0:08:01rice paper. If you're feeling more adventurous you can use black pepper

0:08:01 > 0:08:04or chilli. No recipe is ever prescriptive in Italy so you do it

0:08:04 > 0:08:13with what you have. You improvise in the kitchen, as you do in life. Life

0:08:13 > 0:08:21is a celebration, that's for sure. CHEERING

0:08:21 > 0:08:30In with the green. This B covers of your cookbook. -- this recipe comes

0:08:30 > 0:08:32from your cookbook.This is something you can adapt with

0:08:32 > 0:08:37whatever leftovers you have. If you made the risotto last night, for

0:08:37 > 0:08:42example, very easily you can transform it and put it in a mould

0:08:42 > 0:08:48so you are going to grease the mould with some lovely olive oil. I like

0:08:48 > 0:08:56the extra virgin olive oil, possibly cold-pressed.Is this a leftover

0:08:56 > 0:08:59dish, a celebration dish?It is a leftover dish that becomes

0:08:59 > 0:09:04tomorrow's dish so it is a never ending dish with which you can

0:09:04 > 0:09:09always celebrate it is there any day in which you don't celebrate? I

0:09:09 > 0:09:12don't really see it! We are going to grease this so it will be important

0:09:12 > 0:09:17for the olive oil to be the best quality you can get because of the

0:09:17 > 0:09:23smell and also because, when it is cold-pressed it is actually

0:09:23 > 0:09:27extracted, the juices extracted, with unheated machines, hence you

0:09:27 > 0:09:32have a lovely olive juice as opposed to that sort of chemical

0:09:32 > 0:09:36transformation you get with very heated machines. It is a bit more

0:09:36 > 0:09:42expensive but you get to go less to the GP, so you have more time for

0:09:42 > 0:09:48the lovely stuff in life, right?You have been away filming with Gennaro

0:09:48 > 0:09:54and Jamie recently?Oh, my God, that was so much fun! We have been to

0:09:54 > 0:09:58Rome to speak with the world heritage that we have and they are

0:09:58 > 0:10:04the unknowns, the grandmothers, and that was some weeks before the pizza

0:10:04 > 0:10:11became world heritage, you know? # When the moon hits your eyes like

0:10:11 > 0:10:15a big pizza pie # That's a Mori!

0:10:15 > 0:10:21Well, exactly.

0:10:21 > 0:10:30Well, exactly.That is all yours!We have made it already!What do you

0:10:30 > 0:10:37need me to do?Basically, now I will lead... This rise has been mixed up

0:10:37 > 0:10:43with lovely Parmesan and butter and with about two thirds of that gravy

0:10:43 > 0:10:48source. What we will need to do very simply is take this rice, that lets

0:10:48 > 0:10:55say is left over from last night, and put it in this mould, just chuck

0:10:55 > 0:10:59it in, and then we are going to oven bake it for 30 minutes and then

0:10:59 > 0:11:07forget about it all.So you put the sole in raw and then bake it in the

0:11:07 > 0:11:14other?Exactly, and we are going to make it with some citrusy fruits.

0:11:14 > 0:11:19And you want a little julienne of orange and lemon?That's what I

0:11:19 > 0:11:26would like, and also some lovely parsley, flat leaf parsley, slightly

0:11:26 > 0:11:31chopped, always roughly chopped. We are never very precise! As you can

0:11:31 > 0:11:35see, I do not wear a white hat, I am not a chef, I am all about home

0:11:35 > 0:11:41food. This dish that dates back from the 17th century in Naples actually

0:11:41 > 0:11:45arrived in Naples in the same period in which rice arrived to. Rice was

0:11:45 > 0:11:54somehow refused because maples was all about macaroni and when rice

0:11:54 > 0:11:58arrived, they said, "What shall we do with it?" Basically, people would

0:11:58 > 0:12:04use it just when they had stomach aches as a cure. It was a good way

0:12:04 > 0:12:08to have the kids eat something nourishing, healthy, and that would

0:12:08 > 0:12:13prevent them from getting sick. Now it is something delicious. This

0:12:13 > 0:12:18beautiful dish, you can make it with any leftovers you have sitting down

0:12:18 > 0:12:22board in the fridge. You can have it with lovely stripes of courgette,

0:12:22 > 0:12:29for example, you can have it with pancetta, or lovely meatballs,

0:12:29 > 0:12:34either big very small once. Do you make it with meatballs and tomatoes,

0:12:34 > 0:12:40Gennaro?Had via a second. If you would like to ask a question, give

0:12:40 > 0:12:47us a ring now on 0330 123 14 10. That's 0330 123 14 10. Calls are

0:12:47 > 0:12:55charged at your standard network rate. And continue!Yes!I want to

0:12:55 > 0:13:01know how you make it.With meatballs, yes. With garlic, a

0:13:01 > 0:13:06little bit of parsley, a bit of Parmesan, fried, sauteed, fresh

0:13:06 > 0:13:13tomato. Drop the meatballs inside, cook the spaghetti or the

0:13:13 > 0:13:22tagliatelle...I'm fainting!Please don't faint! Shall we do this?

0:13:22 > 0:13:36Together, right?Ready?OK. The show must go on, mustn't it!

0:13:36 > 0:13:39must go on, mustn't it! That is a success.There is your source, there

0:13:39 > 0:13:45is your garnish.It is going to be nice and easy. We are going to put

0:13:45 > 0:13:52our lovely prosecco gravy on top and around, and then we are going to

0:13:52 > 0:14:01garnish with beautiful orange and lemon, all around, just the way you

0:14:01 > 0:14:08see fit, and then a little bit of parsley - why not? Let's not be shy!

0:14:08 > 0:14:14This is a dish you seen before?Yes, not this particular one, but kind

0:14:14 > 0:14:23of.Shall I be mother?Put it there. Remind us what that is called.That

0:14:23 > 0:14:33is rice timbale with the sole and a lot of love!

0:14:33 > 0:14:42OK, let's go over here. Right, grab a knife and some plates.

0:14:43 > 0:14:50a knife and some plates.It looks so good. We must tasted.How do you do

0:14:50 > 0:14:55this?Slice it like so? Yes, this is one of those cases where you can

0:14:55 > 0:15:03have your cake and eat it too.Did you follow that recipe, Stephen?

0:15:03 > 0:15:10Yes, spectacular.Because, if you didn't, they are on the website.If

0:15:10 > 0:15:13ever there are some leftovers and you make it for your family, the

0:15:13 > 0:15:21following day you can do the so-called the meal where you put the

0:15:21 > 0:15:24rice in a pan and put it down with the lid pretty much as you would

0:15:24 > 0:15:30with an omelette, and then you would eat it as if it was a cake, a rice

0:15:30 > 0:15:34cake. In that case, you can fry it with olive oil whereas here we have

0:15:34 > 0:15:38used mostly but because rice, the marriage of rice is usually with

0:15:38 > 0:15:50butter.Have a seat.Can I try some? It is beautiful.So, with this we

0:15:50 > 0:15:58are going to go with prosecute. An absolute bargain, 799. It's very

0:15:58 > 0:16:06good. Extra dry. A little more fruity than the

0:16:11 > 0:16:13fruity than the brut, and it is slightly drier. I love this with

0:16:13 > 0:16:19this kind of dish. It's great for a party. Valentine's Day coming up,

0:16:19 > 0:16:23it's a great option. And organic prosecute from northern Italy,

0:16:23 > 0:16:30lovely part of the world.Oh my God, what a marriage of food. Look at

0:16:30 > 0:16:39that. It's so good.It's real Italian comfort food.You find it in

0:16:39 > 0:16:43homes but never in restaurants. You have to divide this between a horde

0:16:43 > 0:16:50of ravenous hungry people.And it's going to go a long way, isn't it? So

0:16:50 > 0:16:54tomorrow you could do something else.Absolutely, I will fry it in a

0:16:54 > 0:16:59pan. If you misbehave, I will just throw it at you.

0:16:59 > 0:17:05LAUGHTER Cheers.In Dublin last week, I heard

0:17:05 > 0:17:12one fellow say, I'm going to Rome for Easter, and he said, no, I am

0:17:12 > 0:17:18going to roam around Baggot Street! LAUGHTER

0:17:18 > 0:17:31I love it.Also the wine. It's so perfect, so good, because each bite

0:17:31 > 0:17:36you have, it is clean and fresh.The extra dry bid works well if

0:17:36 > 0:17:41specially with a citrus in the dish. It lightens it. This is kind of your

0:17:41 > 0:17:49British...It makes it feel quite light and summary.Now, Gennaro,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53what's the next course?It is going to be tagliatelle with pancetta

0:17:53 > 0:17:59mushrooms and thyme, linguine with capers.You will love it. We look

0:17:59 > 0:18:02forward to that and if you want to ask questions this morning, call

0:18:02 > 0:18:100330 123 1410 and lines close at 11am so get dialling the orange you

0:18:16 > 0:18:22website. Now let's catch up with Rick stein on another long weekend

0:18:22 > 0:18:25in Lisbon, which is fast becoming the biggest foodie hotspot. Take a

0:18:25 > 0:18:31look at this.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Well, it's some time since I've been to Lisbon,

0:18:47 > 0:18:50but what I remember most of all was the seafood.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52But not just the wonderfully fresh seafood, but the little

0:18:52 > 0:18:54restaurants that sold it, with, all the time,

0:18:54 > 0:18:57a view over the water - not the open sea but the River

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Tagus.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01And the other thing was the tiles - everywhere the buildings seemed

0:19:01 > 0:19:04to be clad in these beautifully faded blue and green tiles.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05I remember those particularly.

0:19:05 > 0:19:06Just lovely.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08And the other thing were the narrow streets, often going up

0:19:08 > 0:19:13and down some really, really steep hills.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14ALL:Really?

0:19:14 > 0:19:15Yes, really.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Not so good if you're carrying heavy filming equipment, but fine for me.

0:19:19 > 0:19:25I don't have to.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29Now, this is a nice, practical, ordinary sort of hotel.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32It's not going to break the bank and it has all the accoutrements

0:19:32 > 0:19:38for my long weekend, namely a bar.

0:19:39 > 0:19:42How often does this happen to me?

0:19:42 > 0:19:43Please work.

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Don't make me have to go back downstairs.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Oh, brilliant.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53This is nice and modern.

0:19:53 > 0:19:54A Japanese bathroom with its little panes.

0:19:54 > 0:19:55The bed looks nice.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Nice double bed.

0:19:56 > 0:19:57Sofa.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58That'll be good.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00And the view.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02A road and another hotel.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Well, you can't have everything.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06No, you can't.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11I'd much rather overlook this square with a view of the River Tagus

0:20:11 > 0:20:16or a view of the castle or this square, but if, like me,

0:20:16 > 0:20:20you happen to plan your weekend around mid-June, you may find that

0:20:20 > 0:20:23all the hotels are booked in the centre

0:20:23 > 0:20:25because of this man - St Anthony.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Today is his day.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31St Anthony's patronage is bountiful.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35He is the patron saint of fishermen, the poor,

0:20:35 > 0:20:39amputees, travellers, horses, pregnant women and swine

0:20:39 > 0:20:42herds, to name but a few.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45BAND PLAYS

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Summer here means warmer waters

0:20:47 > 0:20:49and the coming of the sardines.

0:20:49 > 0:20:55They're at their very best, full of oil and extremely sweet and tasty.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Now when I have the luxury of eating a grilled sardine,

0:20:58 > 0:21:02no matter where I am in the world, I think of Portugal.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05They should be on the national flag.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08SHE SPEAKS PORTUGUESE

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I'm really looking forward to this.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13I just asked them how to eat this on bread because, obviously,

0:21:13 > 0:21:16there's loads of bones in a sardine.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18I couldn't totally understand what she was saying but I got

0:21:18 > 0:21:20the general gist of it.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22I think, basically, you just take the skin off

0:21:22 > 0:21:23and then you pull it apart.

0:21:23 > 0:21:27It's very hot, but very fresh...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30and very tasty.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35And I noticed that she said, now you pull out the backbone...

0:21:35 > 0:21:39but you have to eat these bits here.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43There is just something incredibly wonderful about getting messy

0:21:43 > 0:21:45eating food like this, which is so good.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47It is sort of part of the whole...

0:21:47 > 0:21:51enjoyment of it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52You'd love this.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55I promise that.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26'My very first breakfast here in Lisbon has to be this -

0:22:26 > 0:22:29'the famous pasteis de Belem, 'the most brilliant custard tart

0:22:29 > 0:22:31you've ever tasted.' I'd go further and say that these sweet,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34mellow, warm, very gooey and exceedingly tasty little tarts

0:22:34 > 0:22:38were a real eye-opener for me.

0:22:38 > 0:22:39And this cafe-cum-bakery with its rabbit warren

0:22:39 > 0:22:44of tile-encrusted rooms is a sheer delight.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48Naturally, the recipe is a closely guarded secret,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51and so from eight in the morning until 11 at night,

0:22:51 > 0:22:57the queues are always there.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Well, I'm extremely partial to a custard tart, but they don't

0:23:00 > 0:23:02get any better than these.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06What makes them so special is the extraordinary softness

0:23:06 > 0:23:13of the custard and the crispness and the lightness of the pastry.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17Seriously, when you bite into them, it's bliss.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20But the other thing is when you just put

0:23:20 > 0:23:22a little bit of cinnamon - not too much - and a little bit

0:23:22 > 0:23:27of icing sugar on the top, it just completes it.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Interestingly, these tarts are a part of history,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33because next door to here is a monastery, and in

0:23:33 > 0:23:38the 15th and 16th century, monasteries were like hotels.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40They were the only places that you could actually get

0:23:40 > 0:23:43a bed for the night, and these custard tarts came out

0:23:43 > 0:23:47of that and became so popular that in about the 18th century,

0:23:47 > 0:23:51this shop opened, and the rest, of course, is history.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54But what is so good, I think, is food and history.

0:23:54 > 0:23:59It's not just about the recipes but it's also about the ingredients

0:23:59 > 0:24:02because, as you know, the Portuguese went everywhere

0:24:02 > 0:24:06in the world and they brought sugar cane back from the Americas,

0:24:06 > 0:24:09and they brought cinnamon back from the East Indies.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13So there is a real food chain there, and I think that's what makes

0:24:13 > 0:24:19them so special as well.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Thanks for that, Rick. That custard tart had a closely guarded secret

0:24:29 > 0:24:34recipe.This one hasn't so this is a very British custard tart I'm

0:24:34 > 0:24:38making, very simple recipe. Sugar, double cream, a lot of eggs, vanilla

0:24:38 > 0:24:41and nutmeg and that's it.

0:24:42 > 0:24:47Very easy to make. I'm going to put that with poached rhubarb and poach

0:24:47 > 0:24:50it in stem ginger and blood oranges which are knocking around at the

0:24:50 > 0:24:57moment so what we need to do is bring the cream up to simmer. With

0:24:57 > 0:25:01some vanilla. I have two vanilla pods going in there. One litre of

0:25:01 > 0:25:07cream. Mix eggs and sugar and bake it. It gets baked for about one hour

0:25:07 > 0:25:10at 110, a low temperature because you don't want it to bubble and

0:25:10 > 0:25:15blister. And then B will pair it with a rhubarb. Right, let's talk

0:25:15 > 0:25:24about Art. It has been kicking around since the early 90s?Yes, it

0:25:24 > 0:25:30was huge in London's West End. I made my West End debut with it 18

0:25:30 > 0:25:34years ago, so I am revisiting it. It's fascinating you are back in it

0:25:34 > 0:25:42taking it on.The same part. Ivan. Are you bring a different dimension

0:25:42 > 0:25:53to it?It centres around a friendship of three guys, and so

0:25:53 > 0:25:59revisiting it, it's a 25 year friendship we are talking about. And

0:25:59 > 0:26:05Serge buys a painting which looks on first glance looks like a white

0:26:05 > 0:26:16canvas.Had you seen it?Yes, in Paris.That is when it was first on

0:26:16 > 0:26:20and Sean Connery was the producer, his wife saw it, and then they got

0:26:20 > 0:26:24in touch with David Pugh, who is producing it to this day, so that

0:26:24 > 0:26:29painting becomes a catalyst for this 25 year friendship, possibly

0:26:29 > 0:26:32dissolving because one of the guys thinks that his friend has gone

0:26:32 > 0:26:37completely mad spending a small fortune on a painting. He just does

0:26:37 > 0:26:40not get it. My character, they are like fire and ice, those two

0:26:40 > 0:26:48characters. I'm like the bassist in spinal tap, like lukewarm water.

0:26:48 > 0:26:53It's a particular relationship, isn't it? You have a relationship

0:26:53 > 0:26:59outside of them. It's quite fragile. Yes, his professional life has

0:26:59 > 0:27:03always been a failure. He's about to get married for the first time in

0:27:03 > 0:27:08two weeks when you join the play, and he's very henpecked by his

0:27:08 > 0:27:12mother and it looks like he's about to be henpecked by his new wife.

0:27:12 > 0:27:18These other two guys are his bedrock. When they seem to be

0:27:18 > 0:27:24falling apart at the seams, then it makes it all the more poignant. 18

0:27:24 > 0:27:30years later, where would you start a new 25 year friendship from?Is

0:27:30 > 0:27:34there anything new? Has it changed since the early 90s?I don't know it

0:27:34 > 0:27:42has because modern art still polarises people. You either love it

0:27:42 > 0:27:46or hated, and if you don't like it you can't understand why people do,

0:27:46 > 0:27:51and vice versa.This is kind of the extreme of what a lot of young

0:27:51 > 0:27:56British artists would do?Yes.There was a lot of artwork coming out that

0:27:56 > 0:28:04people would just amused by.Yes, exactly. It is a bit like the

0:28:04 > 0:28:07emperors new clothes sometime. It has an amazing effect on the

0:28:07 > 0:28:10audience. Some people really like the painting, some people don't get

0:28:10 > 0:28:14it at all. There's a lot of people who are in the middle but what

0:28:14 > 0:28:18happens is the audience really, really fall for these characters and

0:28:18 > 0:28:23want this friendship to stay together.Right, so they are three

0:28:23 > 0:28:28distinct characters?With Denis Lawson and Nigel Haver 's.Great

0:28:28 > 0:28:35cast. Do you know them?Yes, I have known them similar to the play for

0:28:35 > 0:28:42over 20 odd years. It's lovely. Life imitating art. You see how neatly it

0:28:42 > 0:28:49fits together?Back to the recipe, my cream is simmering with the

0:28:49 > 0:28:53vanilla. Going to turn that off. In here put the sugar and the egg

0:28:53 > 0:28:57yolks, and keep it moving because we don't want scrambled eggs. Mix it

0:28:57 > 0:29:03together and overhear I have got the rhubarb, a little bit of sugar, some

0:29:03 > 0:29:08blood orange zest, juice, and the stem ginger.Is this the season for

0:29:08 > 0:29:13blood orange?Yes, they are not around for long, delicious, sweet,

0:29:13 > 0:29:21but they are quite tricky to get hold of. It's not a regular thing a

0:29:21 > 0:29:30lot of greengrocers will have. Right.In Sicily.Yeah, well, that's

0:29:30 > 0:29:35handy! Thank you.

0:29:36 > 0:29:45You love stage? Yes, especially with the comedy because you get the

0:29:45 > 0:29:47immediate reaction from the audience.Do you like that

0:29:47 > 0:29:55immediacy? We know you from so much big TV.It is a while since I have

0:29:55 > 0:30:00toured and it is a gorgeous way to visit places.It was interesting

0:30:00 > 0:30:02what you were saying about everything being shot out of order

0:30:02 > 0:30:09when you are doing film and TV.With a play you have a bit more control

0:30:09 > 0:30:13over the beginning, middle and end and the audience are very much a

0:30:13 > 0:30:20part of it and keep it fresh.You are on our screens at the moment, in

0:30:20 > 0:30:32Trolleys. It is very funny.It is lovely and it is our supermarketAnd

0:30:32 > 0:30:40it is there all the time?Yes, it has been there for the last seven

0:30:40 > 0:30:43years so we don't do any filming outside of the supermarket and there

0:30:43 > 0:30:50are known night shoots so it is the nearest thing to a nine to five.A

0:30:50 > 0:30:54little tip, that is a blind baked tart, put it in the oven at 110,

0:30:54 > 0:31:01pour the mix of the middle and then you won't slot it all over. So then

0:31:01 > 0:31:05the rhubarb, you could leave it a couple of hours or overnight and put

0:31:05 > 0:31:12it into a warm pan, a bit of dessert wine going in. Bring it up to heat,

0:31:12 > 0:31:22put a lid on and turn it off.This is the season of beetroots now?Of

0:31:22 > 0:31:30beetroot?I beg your pardon, beetroot! It is the colours!

0:31:30 > 0:31:36beetroot! It is the colours!Root, blood oranges, both lovely.A 17

0:31:36 > 0:31:39week run is a long time to be focused on doing one thing every

0:31:39 > 0:31:46single night. Is there something you do every night to maintain that?The

0:31:46 > 0:31:49play is about an hour and 25 minutes so it seems like it should be a

0:31:49 > 0:31:52breeze but when it is just three of your concentration levels are

0:31:52 > 0:31:57fantastic. Doing a tour is fantastic, especially with the

0:31:57 > 0:32:01comedy, to see how it varies from place to place. When the play is

0:32:01 > 0:32:06performed in Paris, it is taken a lot more seriously and the author

0:32:06 > 0:32:11was quite perturbed that at won the Olivier award for best comedy over

0:32:11 > 0:32:16here, when it is treated very different there and she sees it

0:32:16 > 0:32:19different. It will be different every night in whichever town and

0:32:19 > 0:32:23city we play.When you take it on the road is there a marked

0:32:23 > 0:32:29difference between the jokes people laugh at?Yes, and some audiences

0:32:29 > 0:32:33are more reserved. Newcastle, for example, is one of the best theatres

0:32:33 > 0:32:42and audiences and I'm really looking forward to going there.

0:32:42 > 0:32:44forward to going there.Wires that? I don't know, they just love going

0:32:44 > 0:32:53to the theatres and our game for anything.Do you get people who will

0:32:53 > 0:32:56sit and ponder?Yes and you think you've lost them but they show it

0:32:56 > 0:33:01with their applause at the end. Some are a bit reserved with getting

0:33:01 > 0:33:05their laughter out.A big difference between North and South?There can

0:33:05 > 0:33:16be, yes, indeed.Here is the tart, with a little bit of rhubarb.Sums

0:33:16 > 0:33:23up this show, a little bit of rhubarb!That is Matt Tebbutt's new

0:33:23 > 0:33:33motto!That is beautiful, with the ginger as well.A bit of a departure

0:33:33 > 0:33:39now. Perfect timing to make a tart because today is the 70th birthday

0:33:39 > 0:33:45of somebody very special, our cameraman on camera one, Lofty or

0:33:45 > 0:33:49Phil The Fork, as he is often called, because he is first in to

0:33:49 > 0:33:55taste the food and has cutlery in his back pocket. So, Lofty, downed

0:33:55 > 0:34:00tools for just a second. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:34:05 > 0:34:19You knew this was coming! Happy birthday!

0:34:20 > 0:34:24birthday! Can I just say, when we looked at this Campbell, we wondered

0:34:24 > 0:34:27how long it would burn for so we looked at the instructions

0:34:27 > 0:34:32instructions said," light touch paper and retire immediately," which

0:34:32 > 0:34:37I thought was quite presumptuous of the makers to know how old you were,

0:34:37 > 0:34:42so we don't need you to retire immediately! Have you got your

0:34:42 > 0:34:51cutlery in your back pocket?I have! It is posh Gold cutlery, all this,

0:34:51 > 0:35:01you could use. This is more you! What is going on?Just a bit of live

0:35:01 > 0:35:12TV!Who is on camera one?Don't get used to it, he is coming back. Take

0:35:12 > 0:35:20that back. That is for you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:23 > 0:35:27Watch the heart! I know that was a surprise. What will I be making for

0:35:27 > 0:35:31Stephen at the end of the show? Will it be food heaven, a combination of

0:35:31 > 0:35:40venison and wild mushrooms? I will go all out with a roast rack of

0:35:40 > 0:35:46venison and a brothel and tartare and I will spoil him by adding wild

0:35:46 > 0:35:51mushrooms and a crunchy cep grass. If Stephen gets help, I will be

0:35:51 > 0:36:00making tripe two ways. I will make an Asian tripe salad with coriander,

0:36:00 > 0:36:06served with fennel. Don't forget, what you get is down to you, you

0:36:06 > 0:36:14have 45 minutes -- 25 minutes left to vote, and every vote matters. Go

0:36:14 > 0:36:19to the website and have your say. Enough excitement, it is time for

0:36:19 > 0:36:21the Hairy Bikers, who are on the hunt for something quintessentially

0:36:21 > 0:36:22British.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38It's quite good being out here, isn't it?

0:36:38 > 0:36:40Cos they don't it knock it our way.

0:36:40 > 0:36:41It's brill.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43Oh, crikey, it's like watching paint dry.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44It is, aye.

0:36:44 > 0:36:45But there's nothing so quintessentially British

0:36:45 > 0:36:47as the thwack of leather on willow.

0:36:47 > 0:36:48Freshly brewed tea in china cups.

0:36:48 > 0:36:49A tranche of Victoria sponge.

0:36:49 > 0:36:50Cucumber sandwiches.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51Give over!

0:36:51 > 0:36:54When was the last time that you ever ate a cucumber sandwich?

0:36:54 > 0:36:56Blargh!

0:36:56 > 0:36:58We've gotta come up with something better than a cucumber sandwich,

0:36:58 > 0:37:01dude, at half-time or whatever the flippin' heck they call it.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02We better get a move on...

0:37:02 > 0:37:03PLAYERS:Oh!

0:37:03 > 0:37:05..because the way this lot are playing, it's

0:37:05 > 0:37:09not going to be long.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Dude, it's gotta be something quintessentially British.

0:37:11 > 0:37:12Aye, I've got it.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16A curry!

0:37:16 > 0:37:17But with a particularly British spice.

0:37:17 > 0:37:18Howzat?!

0:37:18 > 0:37:22Come here and I'll show you.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25HE WHISTLES

0:37:25 > 0:37:26CHEERING

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Curry!

0:37:27 > 0:37:28Yes!

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Not half.

0:37:30 > 0:37:31Right.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33And this is a peculiar curry that we've never cooked before.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37No.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39It's a new one in our repertoire-y.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41It is and what a repertoire-y...

0:37:41 > 0:37:42Shorshe...shorshe...

0:37:42 > 0:37:44It's really hard to pronounce.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45Shorshe Murgi.

0:37:45 > 0:37:46Shorshe Murgi.

0:37:46 > 0:37:47It means, translated, "mustard chicken."

0:37:47 > 0:37:48Oh, does it?

0:37:48 > 0:37:49Yes.

0:37:49 > 0:37:50Oh.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52And this is what's special about our curry.

0:37:52 > 0:37:54This is what it's all about - mustard seeds.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56Yellow mustard seeds and brown mustard seeds.

0:37:56 > 0:37:57And that is the British ingredient.

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Cos that's what you have with your roast beef.

0:37:59 > 0:38:02And now, of course, you've got mustard with one of the best chicken

0:38:02 > 0:38:04curries you're ever going to taste.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06You know what you need for a chicken curry?

0:38:06 > 0:38:08A chicken.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11First off, I take an onion, peel it and chop it.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13Everything starts with a peeled and chopped onion, doesn't it?

0:38:13 > 0:38:14Well, apart from evolution, of course.

0:38:14 > 0:38:16We started with the egg.

0:38:16 > 0:38:17It didn't.

0:38:17 > 0:38:18It started with the chicken.

0:38:18 > 0:38:22I keep telling you, you cannot have an egg without a chicken.

0:38:22 > 0:38:26I want about a 5cm piece of ginger.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Do you know the little takeaway that I use at home, the Tandoori Oven?

0:38:29 > 0:38:30Yeah, yeah.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Poor old chef, he died.

0:38:32 > 0:38:33Really?

0:38:33 > 0:38:34Mm.

0:38:34 > 0:38:35It was tragic.

0:38:35 > 0:38:39He slipped in the kitchen and fell into a "korma."

0:38:39 > 0:38:40A-ha-hey!

0:38:40 > 0:38:44Take four cloves of garlic.

0:38:44 > 0:38:45My garlic and ginger.

0:38:45 > 0:38:48This now needs to be pureed into a paste.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51Due to the fact that I'm on the edge of a cricket field

0:38:51 > 0:38:54and I've got no leccy, I've got to improvise.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56But I had an idea - bing!

0:38:56 > 0:38:57Light bulb moment.

0:38:57 > 0:39:04In Thailand they use a blending method called pounding, you know.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Well, it's not a Thai pestle and mortar but this little belter,

0:39:07 > 0:39:12this'll sort this out.

0:39:12 > 0:39:20DISHES CLATTER LOUDLY

0:39:24 > 0:39:25So, the marinade.

0:39:25 > 0:39:30Half a lemon, half a teaspoon of turmeric.

0:39:30 > 0:39:32If you can get it, use Kashmiri chilli powder

0:39:32 > 0:39:35because it's great for colour.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38Look at how vibrant that colour is.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Every Bengali housewife's favourite - the mustard oil.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Take the skin off the chicken so the flavours can get

0:39:45 > 0:39:48right into the meat.

0:39:48 > 0:39:49Is it working, dude?

0:39:49 > 0:39:50Yeah.

0:39:50 > 0:39:51Works well, this.

0:39:51 > 0:39:55Forget your processor - buy a cricket bat.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58Right, dude, marinade's in.

0:39:58 > 0:40:00I need to make another paste now, which is a mustard

0:40:00 > 0:40:04seed and chilli paste.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06You can use the dark or the brown mustard seeds.

0:40:06 > 0:40:07I want a spoon of each.

0:40:07 > 0:40:13Right, go on.

0:40:13 > 0:40:18Into that, I want some chillies.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21Two of these little fiery devils.

0:40:21 > 0:40:26And just give it a quick bash.

0:40:26 > 0:40:27HE LAUGHS

0:40:27 > 0:40:28Paste number two.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Maestro, the pan is yours.

0:40:30 > 0:40:37Right, so you want about a tablespoon of mustard oil.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38Cinnamon.

0:40:38 > 0:40:39Cloves go in.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40Two black cardamoms.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44Break those down a little bit just so the oils can come out.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47So half a teaspoon of nigella seed.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49Two more little green chillies.

0:40:49 > 0:40:50Just slash them like that.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53I want the flavour rather than the heat.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56But when you want the dish you can just pick the chillies out.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59There will always be some burke who'll go, "I can eat it."

0:40:59 > 0:41:00Well, good luck to them.

0:41:00 > 0:41:06When the cardamoms are popping, the onions come a-rocking.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09It really has worked rather well with me cricket bat.

0:41:09 > 0:41:14Oh, the mustard oil with the cardamoms,

0:41:14 > 0:41:16the chillies, the ginger - it's everything I love about food.

0:41:16 > 0:41:17Put the chicken in?

0:41:17 > 0:41:18Mm-hm.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22And this has been skinned, which is what we want.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25The reason that we want to make sure this is on the bone is cos

0:41:25 > 0:41:26it just adds flavour.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30And in 15 minutes' time we pop in the mustard paste and some water.

0:41:30 > 0:41:37See you later.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38# I don't like cricket

0:41:38 > 0:41:42# Oh, noOh, no# I love it #

0:41:42 > 0:41:43# I love it

0:41:43 > 0:41:47# I don't like cricket...

0:41:47 > 0:41:52Oof!

0:41:52 > 0:41:53# I love it

0:41:53 > 0:41:55# I don't like cricket...

0:41:55 > 0:41:57It'll go wrong.

0:41:57 > 0:42:04Come here, you, ya lummox.

0:42:04 > 0:42:05Oh!

0:42:05 > 0:42:06Massive flavour.

0:42:06 > 0:42:09That is a good curry from Bengal to Birmingham.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Those that want a leg can have a leg, those that want

0:42:12 > 0:42:15a breast can have a breast, but everybody is going

0:42:15 > 0:42:16to want the sauce.

0:42:16 > 0:42:21Garnish with coriander and fresh chilli.

0:42:21 > 0:42:27Right, that is like no other cucumber sandwich I've ever seen.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28Ooh!

0:42:28 > 0:42:29Hey-hey!

0:42:29 > 0:42:31Our shmoozy...sherti...shusheshe...

0:42:31 > 0:42:39Shorshe Mur-Kingi - a Bengali curry with a British twist.

0:42:46 > 0:42:51Thanks, lads, that definitely beats a cucumber sandwich. Still to come,

0:42:51 > 0:42:57Nigel Slater has more simple suppers, pork chops with Apple cider

0:42:57 > 0:43:02plus metallic chowder. And as it is through 20 suite we replace the

0:43:02 > 0:43:08omelette child with a pancake challenge so time for me to crack

0:43:08 > 0:43:14out some great jokes. Let's have Gennaro and Lenora and hope they

0:43:14 > 0:43:20don't flip out and argue the toss and there will be some batter even

0:43:20 > 0:43:25if the pants fall flat it up will Stephen get food heaven, venison

0:43:25 > 0:43:32with wild mushrooms, or hell, tripe with fennel and chilli? We will find

0:43:32 > 0:43:42out later underdog but your pounds down, guys.

0:43:42 > 0:43:45We are doing two different pasta dishes in honour of the great

0:43:45 > 0:43:50Antonio Carluccio.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53Antonio Carluccio.In this spaghetti, everything I am I02

0:43:53 > 0:44:00spaghetti, especially handmade!It is like a kitchen takeover. What is

0:44:00 > 0:44:18going on?Cut about three sizes. Just three?Three and a half.Why

0:44:18 > 0:44:30these dishes?This is in, is to Antonio, you wanted to cook

0:44:30 > 0:44:35something very quick and Antonio used to be angry and used to say,

0:44:35 > 0:44:42make something quick! Put them inside there.This was his go to

0:44:42 > 0:44:49quick dish?You can see, I am doing two dishes instead of one.I'm going

0:44:49 > 0:45:01to speed up.Put some salt inside. I need some chilli for one. That is

0:45:01 > 0:45:08garlic. I am going to do the other one.Have you got chilly in both?I

0:45:08 > 0:45:13have chilli and garlic in both.

0:45:13 > 0:45:18Both these recipes come from your last book?Yes, from my last book of

0:45:18 > 0:45:26pasta. OK, the garlic, give it a little bit of a cake. As soon as it

0:45:26 > 0:45:38starts to sweat, look at this one. -- a bit of a cake. Some capers.

0:45:38 > 0:45:45These sticks behind us, tell us about this.Antonio used to love

0:45:45 > 0:45:57those sticks and we always used to compete, I would carve my stick. We

0:45:57 > 0:46:03used to go in the forest, in the woods, to find mushrooms and we

0:46:03 > 0:46:07needed something to look around. The walking sticks were really, really

0:46:07 > 0:46:14nice.They are beautiful. How long did it take?About one week to make

0:46:14 > 0:46:22one of them.Really? Your friendship is a very genuine one, wasn't it? A

0:46:22 > 0:46:25lot of pairings on television is not necessarily what you would expect

0:46:25 > 0:46:30off-screen but yours was very different.Original. This is what we

0:46:30 > 0:46:35used to be and this is what we are now. I miss him, yes, I have to say,

0:46:35 > 0:46:44I really miss him, quite a lot, because I used to phone him up on

0:46:44 > 0:46:50Sunday, and now I can't do that any more. I used to insult him.Who do

0:46:50 > 0:46:54you insult now? LAUGHTER

0:46:54 > 0:47:02You can see how quick it is.Garlic and capers inside there. Pancetta

0:47:02 > 0:47:06and wild mushrooms with chilli at the last minute, I will put in some

0:47:06 > 0:47:13wild mushrooms, porcini, in a little bit of water. The Pasteur goes

0:47:13 > 0:47:21straight in. I need you to chop some parsley.OK, just a little bit.

0:47:21 > 0:47:25Jamie to you out recently for a special birthday. Can we say how old

0:47:25 > 0:47:40you are? 69?You got it.You are nearly the same age as Lofty.He is

0:47:40 > 0:47:51younger than me.He is 70.Jesus!I saw on Instagram, there were the two

0:47:51 > 0:47:58review in his restaurant.He took me to the shops. He bought me a suit.

0:47:58 > 0:48:10Assured. A pair of shoes. Attire. Pair of socks. And append.

0:48:10 > 0:48:16Pair of socks. And append. -- a pen. What does that say about your

0:48:16 > 0:48:22sartorial elegance?He said, "You always look smart." They opened

0:48:22 > 0:48:29especially for me.And then he went out for a lovely lunch?We had lunch

0:48:29 > 0:48:39and we really enjoyed it. Quality time.Nice to be able to do that.

0:48:39 > 0:48:48What do you want me to do?Saute this one. Go. A squeeze of lemon.

0:48:48 > 0:48:56Lemon zest, as well?No.

0:48:57 > 0:49:03Lemon zest, as well?No. Look at that.Do you want some liquor, as

0:49:03 > 0:49:11well?A little bit.Why are you using linguine in one dish and

0:49:11 > 0:49:20tagliatelle in the other?It goes well with seafood, linguine. This

0:49:20 > 0:49:26one has capers, so it's a better when you eat it. You get a lovely

0:49:26 > 0:49:31sensation. With the other one, wild mushrooms, there's a little bit of

0:49:31 > 0:49:37juice and sauce inside and it stays on top and you can enjoy it.You are

0:49:37 > 0:49:43still very busy every day in the kitchen. Jamie's Italian.Have you

0:49:43 > 0:49:51been?Yes, I love it, I took my kids. The Pasteur, it does so much

0:49:51 > 0:49:54to bring really, really good pasta to such a wide audience.We make

0:49:54 > 0:50:02fresh pasta. Every single day. Unless you go to a high-end

0:50:02 > 0:50:06restaurant, that's very often something you missed.Yes, it is. We

0:50:06 > 0:50:13have a passion for pasta. We have special machines all the way from

0:50:13 > 0:50:19Italy. Squeeze a bit of lemon. We love what we are doing. A little bit

0:50:19 > 0:50:25of oil.I want to talk to buy the capers. You are using salted as

0:50:25 > 0:50:34opposed to the ones in brine. Why? In brine, it has a touch of vinegar.

0:50:34 > 0:50:42Sometimes it becomes very difficult to remove it. When you use the salty

0:50:42 > 0:50:46one, you leave it for a few minutes inside the water, and then the salt

0:50:46 > 0:50:55will disappear. But you still get a lovely taste.Is that clear?

0:50:55 > 0:51:01LAUGHTER Excellent. The breadcrumbs.This is

0:51:01 > 0:51:08just breadcrumbs, sauteed little bit, because when you put inside

0:51:08 > 0:51:15your mouth, crunch. It starts to dissolve, it's so nice. And then you

0:51:15 > 0:51:28get biting on it.I do know what's happening next. Quite frankly.

0:51:28 > 0:51:34happening next. Quite frankly.Some nice Parmesan cheese. On top. This

0:51:34 > 0:51:45is Peggy Arena. It's a lovely dish. -- pecorino. I got this beautiful

0:51:45 > 0:51:52olive oil, a drizzle on it. Don't be afraid to use olive oil. Olive oil

0:51:52 > 0:51:59is very, very good for you.Put it on the side. Beautiful. Two dishes

0:51:59 > 0:52:07in six and a half minutes, something like that, it's very good.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10like that, it's very good. 69, you can't be doing that any more. Watch

0:52:10 > 0:52:19yourself.Tagliatelle with pancetta mushrooms and thyme. And linguine

0:52:19 > 0:52:28with capers and olives.Beautiful. A drizzle of olive oil. That's it.

0:52:28 > 0:52:34Come on. Come and have a lie down. LAUGHTER

0:52:34 > 0:52:45Right, here. Dies in wherever you want to go first. -- dies in. --

0:52:47 > 0:52:57shall we have a drink?I found a wine from Sicily. It is Nicosia Etna

0:52:57 > 0:53:02Rosso. 11 quid from Marks & Spencer is the quality of the wine I have to

0:53:02 > 0:53:09say is absolutely stunning. Why is so good from there? It's on the

0:53:09 > 0:53:13volcano. It gives a real intensity to lift the flavour of wine but

0:53:13 > 0:53:17because its 700 metres above sea level, you get freshness, so it's a

0:53:17 > 0:53:29perfect pairing. A local grape. It's a risky business. On a volcano. Mick

0:53:29 > 0:53:33Hucknall from simply red had a vineyard in there. Be used to grow

0:53:33 > 0:53:37his own rape finds there. It's increasingly fashionable. It is

0:53:37 > 0:53:52southern Italy's answer.Oh my God! Amazing. Amazing. I love it.

0:53:52 > 0:53:55Amazing. Amazing. I love it. Olly, how do you manage to find the

0:53:55 > 0:53:59perfect marriage of whatever we cook?Inspired by your cooking,

0:53:59 > 0:54:15Gennaro, the only way.What a lovely man. Lifted up. Don't worry.Good?

0:54:15 > 0:54:25Beautiful.Excellent. Cheers to you. And cheers to Antonio. Bless him.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28Right, that was delicious. As it's Valentine's Day on Wednesday, who

0:54:28 > 0:54:33better to give as a desert recipe in his romantic French annex van

0:54:33 > 0:54:46Raymond Blanc and it's his ultimate chocolate tart.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54There are hundreds

0:54:54 > 0:54:56of varieties of chocolate on the market and for Raymond,

0:54:56 > 0:54:57100% dark chocolate is irresistible.

0:54:57 > 0:54:58That is seriously bitter.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00That's what I love the most.

0:55:00 > 0:55:01It's got so many lovely qualities.

0:55:01 > 0:55:03It melts in the mouth, wonderful flavours.

0:55:03 > 0:55:05When you feel melancholic, "Oh, let's have a bit of chocolate."

0:55:05 > 0:55:08You feel a bit under pressure, "Oh, let's have a bit of chocolate."

0:55:08 > 0:55:12You feel happy, you want chocolate, so you must always, at all times,

0:55:12 > 0:55:13have chocolate in your cupboards.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15That's always de rigueur.

0:55:15 > 0:55:18To test his office staff's taste buds, he's taking them a selection,

0:55:18 > 0:55:26ranging from a sweet milk chocolate to the darkest chocolate available.

0:55:26 > 0:55:28OK, Adam, let's see the girls.

0:55:28 > 0:55:34See if they love their chocolate, OK Hello!

0:55:34 > 0:55:39I have decided...

0:55:39 > 0:55:41Can I have your attention one minute I have decided

0:55:41 > 0:55:42to change the bonus system.

0:55:42 > 0:55:43We pay by chocolate now.

0:55:43 > 0:55:46OK, so you can do a bit of testing of chocolate.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48Who doesn't like chocolate?

0:55:48 > 0:55:54Number nine is the cheapest, containing just 20% cocoa solids.

0:55:54 > 0:55:56So which one you prefer?

0:55:56 > 0:55:57Number nine is beautiful.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Number nine, yes.

0:55:59 > 0:56:00Number nine is brilliant.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01It's like...

0:56:01 > 0:56:04Yes, most of you have loved the number nine.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06Actually that's the worst chocolate.

0:56:06 > 0:56:13It's very highly sweet, very addictive, the sweetness.

0:56:13 > 0:56:17It's got only 20% cocoa content.

0:56:17 > 0:56:25I really feel so, so disappointed, so from tomorrow we are going to hav

0:56:25 > 0:56:27we are going to have

0:56:27 > 0:56:29a chocolate tasting every day at four o'clock exactly.

0:56:29 > 0:56:32Hooray!

0:56:36 > 0:56:37Adam!

0:56:37 > 0:56:41I asked you bran flakes this morning I was very clear about it.

0:56:41 > 0:56:44Raymond's next recipe is a chocolate delice,

0:56:44 > 0:56:50a rich, dark chocolate tart with a nutty, crunchy base.

0:56:50 > 0:56:54The delice au chocolat is a bit like a tarte au chocolat.

0:56:54 > 0:56:58For the base, I've used bran flakes.

0:56:58 > 0:57:03And you just...

0:57:03 > 0:57:05crunch them up nicely, and you have praline.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07Praline you can buy in any shops.

0:57:07 > 0:57:10You can also make it yourself.

0:57:10 > 0:57:13Praline paste is easy to make.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16All you need to do is blitz equal quantities of roasted hazelnuts

0:57:16 > 0:57:21and caramelised sugar in a blender.

0:57:21 > 0:57:24Then you mix the flakes to your hazelnut paste.

0:57:24 > 0:57:32So simple.

0:57:38 > 0:57:40And that's my base for my tart.

0:57:40 > 0:57:41Taste it.

0:57:41 > 0:57:42Really, really lovely.

0:57:42 > 0:57:43Yummy.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45Place the mixture between two sheets of greaseproof paper

0:57:45 > 0:57:46and get ready to roll.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48Adam, can I have my rolling pin, please?

0:57:48 > 0:57:50I want a big one, a serious one.

0:57:50 > 0:57:52That one, I find it a bit too thin.

0:57:52 > 0:57:53Tres bien.

0:57:53 > 0:57:54That's fine.

0:57:54 > 0:57:55Tres bien.

0:57:55 > 0:57:59It is wonderful, very nutty.

0:57:59 > 0:58:04There's a nut texture here and, Adam a better palette knife, mon petit.

0:58:04 > 0:58:07Thank you very much, Adam.

0:58:12 > 0:58:14And that, I'm going to keep it in the fridge.

0:58:16 > 0:58:20Ah, now, le chocolat.

0:58:20 > 0:58:21Let's go.

0:58:21 > 0:58:22Tres bien.

0:58:22 > 0:58:25Next, the filling for the chocolate tart.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28I'm going to boil my milk and my cream together.

0:58:28 > 0:58:31The eggs...

0:58:35 > 0:58:36Tres bien.

0:58:36 > 0:58:40So our milk now is rising, is rising, is rising up.

0:58:40 > 0:58:44I'm going to pour it over my eggs.

0:58:44 > 0:58:46The eggs are magical.

0:58:46 > 0:58:49The eggs are bonding that cream, and now all that I've got to do

0:58:49 > 0:58:52is to add my chocolate.

0:58:52 > 0:58:53Oh, la!

0:58:53 > 0:58:55Beautiful chocolate.

0:58:55 > 0:58:57Look at it.

0:58:57 > 0:58:58Voila.

0:58:58 > 0:59:00For this, Raymond's using a dark chocolate

0:59:00 > 0:59:07containing 70% cocoa solids.

0:59:07 > 0:59:08You see?

0:59:08 > 0:59:11Beautiful.

0:59:11 > 0:59:12Yes.

0:59:12 > 0:59:16When the mixture is smooth, pour it into a pastry frame.

0:59:16 > 0:59:21Voila.

0:59:21 > 0:59:25Then put it in the fridge to set for at least six hours.

0:59:25 > 0:59:31Voila.

0:59:31 > 0:59:33While the tart sets, prepare the decorations that

0:59:33 > 0:59:38will transform this simple dish into a work of art.

0:59:38 > 0:59:41First, make a caramel.

0:59:41 > 0:59:44Melt sugar in a heavy base pan until it's rich

0:59:44 > 0:59:46and golden in colour.

0:59:46 > 0:59:51What I want is a bit of darker colour so I can give a bit

0:59:51 > 0:59:52of flavour to my caramel.

0:59:52 > 0:59:55Put a roasted hazelnut on a cocktail stick,

0:59:55 > 0:59:57dip it in the caramel and pin in some Blu-tac to

0:59:57 > 1:00:03produce a long tail.

1:00:03 > 1:00:05Look at that - beautiful!

1:00:05 > 1:00:06Next, a light coffee foam.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09Add melted gelatine to some strong coffee and a little sugar,

1:00:09 > 1:00:16then whisk until frothy.

1:00:16 > 1:00:18So you've got the richness in the hazelnut, the praline,

1:00:18 > 1:00:20and then the richness again in the chocolate.

1:00:20 > 1:00:24So I want a sauce which is like air, you know, something so light.

1:00:24 > 1:00:25OK?

1:00:25 > 1:00:28Once the tart is set, it's time to decorate.

1:00:28 > 1:00:31Dust with some grated 70% chocolate.

1:00:31 > 1:00:33Nice textures, no?

1:00:33 > 1:00:38Icing sugar, please!

1:00:38 > 1:00:39Tres bien.

1:00:39 > 1:00:40Just very lightly...

1:00:40 > 1:00:41It's so simple.

1:00:41 > 1:00:49No sweat, no?

1:00:55 > 1:01:01Here's just a tiny little garnish - very pretty, very dainty.

1:01:01 > 1:01:09Voila, tout simplement.

1:01:17 > 1:01:22Thanks, Raymond. Simple as that. The heaven and hell boat is now closed

1:01:22 > 1:01:26and Stephen's fate is sealed.

1:01:26 > 1:01:35Let's take some calls. First is Richard.I picked up a lobster from

1:01:35 > 1:01:38the fishmonger this morning and I would like some advice on what to do

1:01:38 > 1:01:44with it.

1:01:44 > 1:01:46with it.Lobster can be an untameable thing but you can tame it

1:01:46 > 1:01:51by putting it in a pan with some lovely tomatoes, some lovely

1:01:51 > 1:01:55parsley, fresh sage, fresh basil and you make a lovely source to

1:01:55 > 1:02:02accompany your spaghetti, black and white, and the day after, you

1:02:02 > 1:02:08scramble a few eggs and you can have your breakfast on a Sunday. Why not?

1:02:08 > 1:02:13Taming lobsters. What do you drink with? Lobster is a real treat.

1:02:13 > 1:02:17Traditionally, French champagne has been the dish of the day but any

1:02:17 > 1:02:22sparkling wine.Or a light white? You could have an oak Chardonnay or

1:02:22 > 1:02:29Burgundy would be delicious. I would go for fizz!Stephen, you have a

1:02:29 > 1:02:35couple of tweaks?Yes, the appropriately named for this show

1:02:35 > 1:02:39Janet garlic once Tono from Olly, screw-top or Cork wine, is there any

1:02:39 > 1:02:45difference on quality?Hi, Janet. Nothing to fear from the screw-top.

1:02:45 > 1:02:51Gone are the days when they were inferior. The screw-top is very

1:02:51 > 1:02:57convenient, you can put it in the fridge and it will keep well but

1:02:57 > 1:03:03courts have their place, for fine wine.I have an inkling who might

1:03:03 > 1:03:11answer this question. Do you have an idea for an Italian winter salad?

1:03:11 > 1:03:16Salads really grows in the winter, lots different salads grow in the

1:03:16 > 1:03:24winter. You have a rid Duccio and an endive. Escarole... Extra virgin

1:03:24 > 1:03:31olive oil and a squeeze of lemon inside, salt and pepper.And you can

1:03:31 > 1:03:36get some fennel and you can pan fry them and put them on top with some

1:03:36 > 1:03:46lovely blue cheese.Oh, my salad! Our next call is Sue from

1:03:46 > 1:03:50Worcestershire. What is your question?Good morning. I have a

1:03:50 > 1:03:58hazelnut liqueur and I would like to mail how to use it?We have exactly

1:03:58 > 1:04:05the same liqueur. It is incredible. That his hazelnuts. Make a lovely

1:04:05 > 1:04:10tiramisu. So simple. You need some finger biscuits, some double

1:04:10 > 1:04:16espresso, some mascarpone cream. You make the coffee, you put the liqueur

1:04:16 > 1:04:21inside with the coffee and the sugar, you mix together at biscuits,

1:04:21 > 1:04:30finger biscuits, sponge it, then you can but some mascarpone on top,

1:04:30 > 1:04:38great to shop over chocolate and just enjoy it. It is Valentine! You

1:04:38 > 1:04:43really love it.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46really love it.I was wondering what was coming next! Thanks to everyone

1:04:46 > 1:04:51who called and treated. This week, Glyn Pernell is getting the chance

1:04:51 > 1:04:55to prove his theory that Birmingham is the centre of the culinary

1:04:55 > 1:05:02universe. Let's see if he can persuade us.

1:05:05 > 1:05:09I've lived in Birmingham most of my life and I think it is the centre of

1:05:09 > 1:05:11the universe. Used to be the culinary desert of Britain but now

1:05:11 > 1:05:16is one of the most exciting cities in Britain. I am going to show you

1:05:16 > 1:05:24exactly why it is the best place to eat. Markets are the heartbeat of

1:05:24 > 1:05:28any city. This is one of my favourite places in Birmingham. I've

1:05:28 > 1:05:32been coming here since I was a kid and I come down here to get food for

1:05:32 > 1:05:41home and the restaurant. Nice to see you. There is the head.You have

1:05:41 > 1:05:47head, belly, feet.Pigs' Trotters are one of my favourite things. When

1:05:47 > 1:05:52I was a kid we got them as a treat on a Saturday to drop my mum would

1:05:52 > 1:05:59boil them, I would be in my pyjamas watching Blind date.We do about 25

1:05:59 > 1:06:03pigs are weak.Why would you say it has become more popular?The

1:06:03 > 1:06:09diversity of our customers, from all over the world. Chinese, Vietnamese.

1:06:09 > 1:06:15The only thing we don't sell is the squeal!You can't sell the squeal!

1:06:15 > 1:06:22These are one of my favourite little treats at the market. Cockles, a

1:06:22 > 1:06:27splash of vinegar and eight dash of white pepper. Brilliant! Takes me

1:06:27 > 1:06:32back to being a little kid coming round here, a pot of cockles. Can't

1:06:32 > 1:06:40beat it! How are we? Tracy, morning. I'm here to showcase what fantastic

1:06:40 > 1:06:46fish we've got in the Birmingham market. Traditionally... Is at the

1:06:46 > 1:06:51West Indians on the Chinese that Brian?The Caribbean, you got your

1:06:51 > 1:06:55Chinese. There are 201 different nations in Birmingham and we are

1:06:55 > 1:07:00trying to get as much from around the world.Birmingham has an array

1:07:00 > 1:07:06of fantastic produce but is also famous for one dish, the balti.

1:07:19 > 1:07:23This may be a bit of a cliche but if you are in Birmingham you've got to

1:07:23 > 1:07:28have a curry. This was created here in the early 1960s for the western

1:07:28 > 1:07:34Pallett and there are now hundreds of balti houses serving 20,000

1:07:34 > 1:07:38people a week. That is a lot of curry! I don't need these. I am

1:07:38 > 1:07:43going to eat it with these. You may have yellow stained fingers for a

1:07:43 > 1:07:48week afterwards but it is definitely worth it. Birmingham isn't just

1:07:48 > 1:07:52about balti is. Over the last 15 years we have seen a fantastic

1:07:52 > 1:07:55change in the restaurant and food seem to cocktail bars Michelins

1:07:55 > 1:08:06stars and sushi. This is one of my favourite places where we buy sushi.

1:08:06 > 1:08:13We have been spoilt, boys!

1:08:13 > 1:08:15We have been spoilt, boys! If you would have told me you would have

1:08:15 > 1:08:20cocktail bars and sushi restaurants in Birmingham 15 years ago. Of

1:08:20 > 1:08:24cocktail 15 years ago in Birmingham was a cube of ice and a slice of

1:08:24 > 1:08:28lemon! I told you that Birmingham was the food capital of the world

1:08:28 > 1:08:36and we have only scratched the surface of what the city has to

1:08:36 > 1:08:40Thanks for that. If you good tips. You are performing in Birmingham.

1:08:40 > 1:08:47Yes, a good few tips. There is a restaurant outside Glasgow called a

1:08:47 > 1:08:52balti Towers.

1:08:52 > 1:08:57... Shrove Tuesday has crept up on us so we are going to do a pancake

1:08:57 > 1:09:01challenge.Can our chefs toss their way to glory. The aim is to flip the

1:09:01 > 1:09:09pancake as many times as you can. You both have the same batter, oil,

1:09:09 > 1:09:15pounds, a level playing field.

1:09:17 > 1:09:22I am ready for a challenge now I don't have my scarf!Are you ready?

1:09:22 > 1:09:28Shall we start making pancakes? Three, two, one, go. Not quite the

1:09:28 > 1:09:34explosive start!

1:09:34 > 1:09:37explosive start! Both of you need to make a pancake. As soon as you have

1:09:37 > 1:09:44made a pancake, we will start flipping.What is the secret? A warm

1:09:44 > 1:09:50plan to start?You need a nice nonstick pan, a hot pan, and good

1:09:50 > 1:09:55batter. Usually the first one messes up and I throw it away. The tension

1:09:55 > 1:10:01is palpable.Do they do Shrove Tuesday in Italy?We make them like

1:10:01 > 1:10:07a cannelloni, we make them with better melted rockDo you have a day

1:10:07 > 1:10:15that celebrates them?No, we don't. We make things that only contain

1:10:15 > 1:10:27flour, eggs and a bit of sorts. There we go. That's cooking.Are you

1:10:27 > 1:10:38ready, Eleonora?Yes, it is cooking! That is an improvisation for you,

1:10:38 > 1:10:43Matt.

1:10:43 > 1:10:48Matt.We are going to miss Shrove Tuesday by the time...Gennaro, you

1:10:48 > 1:11:01are cooking so well!Go! Flip! Gennaro, help! Help!

1:11:05 > 1:11:12Gennaro, help! Help! One. Two. Three. Four.I think I'm being

1:11:12 > 1:11:20hypnotised by Gennaro's pancake!

1:11:20 > 1:11:26hypnotised by Gennaro's pancake!You are a perfect gent, Gennaro.

1:11:26 > 1:11:26Gennaro,

1:11:26 > 1:11:36Gennaro, how many do you think you got? 33. Four! That is for you,

1:11:36 > 1:11:41fellow. Of all the achievements of your life, that is going to be up

1:11:41 > 1:11:48there. That is why we do the omelette talent and nothing else!

1:11:48 > 1:11:54Will Stephen get his food heaven, venison, or food hell, try? We will

1:11:54 > 1:12:07find out after Nigel Slater shows us two more hearty simple suppers.

1:12:08 > 1:12:10I'm going to be cooking pork chops

1:12:10 > 1:12:11with apples and cider.

1:12:11 > 1:12:12I'm very fussy about pork chops.

1:12:12 > 1:12:14I like good, thick ones, with plenty of fat,

1:12:14 > 1:12:17so that as the chop cooks, that fat makes the meat

1:12:17 > 1:12:18really succulent.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20Pork and apple works on so many levels, you know.

1:12:20 > 1:12:23It works because of the richness, and the sharpness of the fruit.

1:12:23 > 1:12:25But it also works on another level altogether -

1:12:25 > 1:12:28that idea of pigs, in an orchard, crunching their way through windfall

1:12:28 > 1:12:32apples in the grass.

1:12:32 > 1:12:37And it just brings...

1:12:37 > 1:12:45I don't know, a bit of poetry to supper.

1:12:48 > 1:12:49I don't think that's a bad thing.

1:12:49 > 1:12:52I don't think we always have to be quite so practical.

1:12:52 > 1:12:55I like to give the rind a good headstart to getting a bit crispy,

1:12:55 > 1:12:57by just searing it in the oil.

1:12:57 > 1:13:05Then, lightly fry each side - about a minute or so should do it.

1:13:11 > 1:13:19I'm going to put a little bit of cider with these.

1:13:21 > 1:13:24Once lightly browned on the sides, pull out the chops, then bung

1:13:24 > 1:13:25the onions into the hot pan.

1:13:25 > 1:13:27Whilst they're browning, chop up some dessert apples.

1:13:27 > 1:13:35I'm using the Discovery ones from my garden.

1:13:36 > 1:13:38I'm going to carefully add some sage.

1:13:38 > 1:13:39Use it sparingly,

1:13:39 > 1:13:40because it can overpower the dish.

1:13:40 > 1:13:43Then squash some juniper berries to add a fresh,

1:13:43 > 1:13:50lemony quality to the dish.

1:13:59 > 1:14:01I'm gonna pop the chops back.

1:14:01 > 1:14:02These are such sweet little apples.

1:14:02 > 1:14:03They're so cute.

1:14:03 > 1:14:09I'm gonna pop a couple of whole ones in as well.

1:14:09 > 1:14:12Season to taste with salt and pepper and add a good glass of cider.

1:14:12 > 1:14:16Slide into a hot oven for about half-an-hour.

1:14:16 > 1:14:22What's great about this dish is you can either cook it

1:14:22 > 1:14:24quickly on high heat, or leave it in the oven

1:14:24 > 1:14:26for hours on low.

1:14:26 > 1:14:29What's happened is that all of the succulence from the meat,

1:14:29 > 1:14:32and all of the juices, all the flavourings,

1:14:32 > 1:14:36just come together.

1:14:36 > 1:14:39That, for me, is both supper and a big treat.

1:14:44 > 1:14:52Of course, the perfect drink for thi dish is a glass of ice-cold cider.

1:15:02 > 1:15:05We all have our favourite combos - ingredients that work

1:15:05 > 1:15:08perfectly together.

1:15:08 > 1:15:11They're always on our shopping list.

1:15:11 > 1:15:14The danger is that these favourites can become a bit predictable.

1:15:14 > 1:15:16Which is why I like to bring something new to these

1:15:16 > 1:15:18existing relationships.

1:15:18 > 1:15:22Some of our favourite culinary marriages are with the most

1:15:22 > 1:15:27basic of ingredients.

1:15:27 > 1:15:30Potatoes and leeks is one that works very well.

1:15:30 > 1:15:37So I want to bring them together as the base of a sumptuous chowder.

1:15:37 > 1:15:43Start by placing the chopped leeks into a warm pan of butter,

1:15:43 > 1:15:44and adding some thyme.

1:15:44 > 1:15:47I want the leeks to cook very gently in the butter.

1:15:47 > 1:15:50I don't want them to brown.

1:15:50 > 1:15:54And the best way to do that is to pu a little bit of paper on top,

1:15:54 > 1:15:57so that they actually steam as much as they fry.

1:15:57 > 1:16:02And I put the lid on as well, so that none of the steam can escape

1:16:02 > 1:16:10To give a little body, add some potatoes.

1:16:10 > 1:16:12Put my potatoes in.

1:16:12 > 1:16:17Into this soup, or stew, whatever you want to call it,

1:16:17 > 1:16:21I'm going to put some smoked haddock And I want the haddock to go quite

1:16:21 > 1:16:24a long way, because it's not the cheapest of fish.

1:16:24 > 1:16:24So I'm going to use sweetcorn.

1:16:24 > 1:16:28And the reason for that is because the liquid in this soup

1:16:28 > 1:16:31is actually going to be milk.

1:16:31 > 1:16:38And sweetcorn loves dairy produce.

1:16:42 > 1:16:44I've always cooked my smoked haddock in milk.

1:16:44 > 1:16:47I'm sure there's some very technical reasons for it.

1:16:47 > 1:16:53But I do it cos my mum did it.

1:16:55 > 1:16:57Milk softens the smokiness of the haddock.

1:16:57 > 1:17:00It's also wonderful with the sweetcorn.

1:17:00 > 1:17:04Drop in a few bay leaves and a sprinkling of peppercorns.

1:17:04 > 1:17:08Your fish should be ready in under ten minutes.

1:17:08 > 1:17:10This is more than a single marriage of ingredients.

1:17:10 > 1:17:14It's actually a marriage of the leeks and potatoes,

1:17:14 > 1:17:20and the milk and the sweetcorn.

1:17:20 > 1:17:23It all comes together.

1:17:23 > 1:17:26Break the haddock into chunks, drain some of the milk,

1:17:26 > 1:17:30and resettle to the chowder.

1:17:30 > 1:17:35Dishes like this, which are calming, they've got a quality to them that

1:17:35 > 1:17:40brings a sense of peace into your supper.

1:17:40 > 1:17:42There's something very gentle and old-fashioned about these

1:17:42 > 1:17:45flavours and these smells.

1:17:45 > 1:17:50And especially these ingredients.

1:17:50 > 1:17:53Everything in this dish has a classic connection.

1:17:53 > 1:17:56Leeks to potatoes, milk to sweetcorn, and fish to some

1:17:56 > 1:18:04freshly chopped parsley.

1:18:05 > 1:18:09There are some recipes I like to put on a plate,

1:18:09 > 1:18:12and pop them in front of everybody.

1:18:12 > 1:18:15And there's other recipes that I like to put in the middle

1:18:15 > 1:18:20of the table, with a big ladle, and get people to help themselves.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24And this is one of those.

1:18:24 > 1:18:26It's bowl food.

1:18:26 > 1:18:32As well as soul food.

1:18:39 > 1:18:42It has to be the bond between so many of the ingredients

1:18:42 > 1:18:49in this supper that makes it absolutely mouth-watering.

1:18:53 > 1:18:57Thanks for that, Nigel. Time to find out what Steve is going to get, Food

1:18:57 > 1:19:03Heaven or food health. This is what I'd deal of Heaven. Venison, all the

1:19:03 > 1:19:17nice stuff. Your idea of how, tripe, coriander. So nice.What is that?I

1:19:17 > 1:19:20suspect there's a lot of tripe eaters out there. Right, what do you

1:19:20 > 1:19:28think they went for?I'm hoping they went for the venison.65% of the

1:19:28 > 1:19:32people... Went for venison. APPLAUSE

1:19:32 > 1:19:36We won't need to look at the tripe again.

1:19:36 > 1:19:39I will eat this tripe. I love it.

1:19:44 > 1:19:53OK, Gennaro, sort out some wild mushrooms, venison tartare as well.

1:19:53 > 1:19:56Eleonora, dice up the Apple and shall not. That is not for you,

1:19:56 > 1:20:08Gennaro. -- shallot. I've got some roasted bones. That's right, throw

1:20:08 > 1:20:16that in there. Garlic. Juniper berry. Just to give it a back taste.

1:20:16 > 1:20:21Then some chicken stock over the top. Summer it for about one hour.

1:20:21 > 1:20:32It reduces. -- simmer it.Do you do a lot of cooking?Not a great deal.

1:20:32 > 1:20:38What sort of thing do you need on the road?Fortunately, the show

1:20:38 > 1:20:42comes down about 9pm so there's still time to go out and eat, so we

1:20:42 > 1:20:45would get the local guidebooks out and any recommendations would be

1:20:45 > 1:20:53very gratefully received.Right, I'm going to make, flour, egg, and this

1:20:53 > 1:20:59is dried cep. Put it in a coffee grinder, and put in a little crust

1:20:59 > 1:21:10on this venison.Is it a relatively cheap meat, venison?Generally not.

1:21:10 > 1:21:18Some people say it is dead deer! Think about it!

1:21:18 > 1:21:24LAUGHTER Right, OK, let's have some

1:21:24 > 1:21:34seasoning, actually. Flour, egg. Finally, the cep crumbs, put it in a

1:21:34 > 1:21:38pan and stick it in the oven for about six minutes or so. You want it

1:21:38 > 1:21:49nice and rare.And the cep will form the crust?Yes, exactly.

1:21:50 > 1:21:53the crust?Yes, exactly. Now, going from deer to Drop The Dead Donkey. I

1:21:53 > 1:21:57enjoyed watching that. You won the comedy award for that.I did,

1:21:57 > 1:22:04indeed.Was it of its time or ahead of its time?I think ahead of its

1:22:04 > 1:22:09time. The only other thing on there that was as close to it was spitting

1:22:09 > 1:22:16image. We were absolutely dependent on what was happening in the news.

1:22:16 > 1:22:21It was risky because a quarter of the show was given to you in front

1:22:21 > 1:22:26of a live audience.We would record it on a Wednesday night with a live

1:22:26 > 1:22:31audience. Two of us would go in on the Thursday to do Thursday's news

1:22:31 > 1:22:36over the end credits. The latest they got it to the channel before it

1:22:36 > 1:22:42went on air was 40 minutes. A huge amount of pressure. It was Andy

1:22:42 > 1:22:47Hamilton and Guy Jenkins coping well with it. They would leave gaps for

1:22:47 > 1:22:50the topical humour and frame it around whichever characters were on

1:22:50 > 1:22:54screen at the time, so they shaped it to those characters and I have no

1:22:54 > 1:23:01idea how they did it.I would say it's ripe for bringing it back.

1:23:01 > 1:23:08Especially in these times as well. Yes, it's calling out for it.You

1:23:08 > 1:23:14could come back as gas. I loved him. He was a great character.You've

1:23:14 > 1:23:19done so me different things, voice-overs, radio, TV, all the

1:23:19 > 1:23:22roles he played, is there one particular one that makes you more

1:23:22 > 1:23:26nervous than the other? What's the most nervous you've been a

1:23:26 > 1:23:32performance?I'm doing a charity show next Sunday in Newcastle, at

1:23:32 > 1:23:40the Metro Arena, two shows in front of two batches of 11,000 people.

1:23:40 > 1:23:48That could be nerve-racking. Yeah. I think the live radio play I did last

1:23:48 > 1:23:53year for Valentine's Day, just knowing that one slip-up was going

1:23:53 > 1:24:04to be heard, that was terribly nerve-racking.I was going to talk
