Welcome to Something For The Weekend. Look at that, a great day. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
Lovely day out there. A spring day. We did need a bit of water, come | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
on! Beautiful country we live in, nice and moist and wet. I am a | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
champion this morning. Did you know that? Why, how? Yesterday it was my | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
daughter's birthday, on Friday, it was her birthday party. I took 14 | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
ten-year-old girls bowling and me and I won! Tim, you are not | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
supposed to be competitive on your daughter's birthday. You can only | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
beat what's put in front of you, Alex. I can confirm this is true. I | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
asked them this morning and they've confirmed that you did win. Yeah. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
Can't let it go, even on your daughter's birthday. They were a | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
little bit weird when I did the trophy ceremony. But they gave me a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
round of applause, it was fantastic. My daughter Grace she wanted a | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
metal detector for her birthday. Did she? Isn't that weird? She is | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
either going to be an archaeologist or a loony. I don't think it's that | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
weird. Would you look weird on your own on a beach possibly. She is a | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
ten-year-old girl. It's good. you get her a metal detector. | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
to put it together, I hate that! She will find jewellery on beaches | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
and make money. That's not what happens, is it? I don't know. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
you were working last night. I was. You work every day of the week at | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the moment. Just at the moment. were doing Let's Dance for Sport | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
Relief. I was. How did it go? Really good night. Danny Harma and | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
Tiger Drew and one of the boys from Outnumbered won and second Omid | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Djili the comedian. Who is this? There was a special appearance from | :02:36. | :02:46. | |
The Hoff. He was in Olly Murs and Scott Mills dance. There they are. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
They're doing Bugsy Malone. They were brilliant. The idea is that | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
people do it who can't dance. This is Omid, honestly, he was such a | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
surprise to everybody. He was just brilliant. He does a bit of dancing | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
in his standup. He does. Look, there's nothing funnier than | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
watching fat people dance properly. Tim! He knows he is a bit round. | :03:11. | :03:21. | |
does belly dancing in his standup. Les Dawson had - what were they | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
called Roly Polys. You can't compare Omid, it's not on. You just | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
did, I didn't. That's what you were thinking. My mate used to make me | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
laugh, watch this, Fat Boy running and he would go like that. Is it | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
the final next week? No, the last of the heats and the final on 17th | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
March. All right, listen, Jason Donovan is here and he is such a | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
top bloke. He is talking Neighbours, dancing, he's finished the tour. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
You were on the show with him. He has a new album out for Mothering | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
Sunday covering some of the biggest # Bewitched, bewitched | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
# Before I knew what you were doing # I looked you in the eyes | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
plus, actress and star of Scott and Bailey, Lesley Sharp is sheer to | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
tell us about the new series -- here to tell us about the new | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
series. It's the girls. It's not fair, is | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it, you bring them into the world and that's the deal, a mum and a | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:50. | ||
dad. I am sorry. If off question for Jason or Lesley | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
you can e-mail us via the website. People are saying - I don't know | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
whether it's me, we look like Star Trekers eclectic as a combo. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
looked more like a Captain Scarlett. I am worried about the sleeves. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
It's probably this, the metalic. have patches on my elbows. We are | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
down with the kids. People don't realise. We are youth this morning! | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
What are you cooking, Simon? That bit, we are going to start with a | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Moroccan puy lentil salad. The dressing is what this is all about, | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
:05:35. | :05:37. | ||
as with all salads really. We have cinnamon, cumin, coriander, honey, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
mustard. Delicious. Main course fish pie. But not an ordinary fish | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
pie, it's Thai spiced fish pie so we have coconut milk to make the | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
sauce, lemongrass, lime leaves, topped with sweet potato. Not sure | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
about that at all. Why? It's pie week, though. It is National Pie | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
Week. It was Chip Week the other week. Next week it's National | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Courgette Week. Shame we are off air next week. I just made that one | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
:06:13. | :06:13. | ||
up, if I am honest! The. --. The week after we are doing cappuccino | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
profitroles. Delicious coffee sauce. That's nice. Finally, our Something | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
For The Weekend classic is a sausage and chorizo goulash, one of | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
the most popular dishes we have done, sausages, chorizo, stock. | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
What's not to like. What's the last disher ever doing? Secret. What | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
wass -- what was the first dish? Roasted leeks with parma ham and | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
parmesan shavings. That sounds nice. Doesn't take long to make, though, | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
how did you get away with doing that? It was when we were doing a | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
relationship, it was like a first date. He was nervous, Tim. Happy St | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
Dared's Day -- St David's Day by the way for last week. What did you | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
do? We had some daffodils. Tasty? didn't eat them. I didn't have any | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
leeks, we had Welsh cakes. Good. Head to our website... It's going | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
well so far! For all of those recipes. Here is what's on the rest | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
of the show. He takes the plunge to swim the Thames in the Big Swim. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
People like to see people off the TV suffer. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
The holistic detective returns in Dirk Gently. We should call the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
bomb squad. And Gemma fears for her safety in | :07:50. | :08:00. | |
:08:00. | :08:02. | ||
Prisoners' Wives. No one likes a Stop it! Wayne is over there in the | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
bar area. What have you got for us? Two of my drinks I was presenting | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
in Lanzorate, I was in the former residence of Omar Sharif for a | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
corporate event. Some place. former? Yeah, I tell you a story | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
later, but he doesn't live there no more. Lawrence of Arabiya, that's | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
Omar Sharif. It is. Am I right in saying soefs famous and when he | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
came back from the Middle East he wanted just to be normal again so | :08:40. | :08:50. | |
:08:50. | :08:53. | ||
he went and enlisted himself into the RAF under an alias? Did he? | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
might be making this up. He couldn't stand his fame and wanted | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
to be normal again. Maybe that's true. Who knows. Come on then. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
on. We are going to do a Moroccan influenced salad. It's all about | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the dressing. Cinnamon, coriander cumin, watercress, other | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
ingredients for the dressing, we have some vinegar, olive oil, honey, | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
rose water, parsley, mint and mustard. Puy lentils we have cooked | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
and other ingredients raisins we soaked in apple juice to make them | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
plump up, some dates, pepers, courgettes -- peppers and | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:49. | ||
and tail and cut them into slices. About one pound coins. Salt, pepper | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
in there. We are going to griddle these fellas. Alex, if you would | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
like to - what I want from the peppers is... Right! This is up | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
your street. Here is the trick. When do you peppers we are going to | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
go down like that and then I want you to trim it into a rectangle. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
Ideally we want to take off all this bit, but I am not bothered if | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
you don't do that if you are scared. You don't want that bit? I don't | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
but if you end up using it I won't be upset. Chuck those into the oil, | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
Tim. I want little squares about that size. OK. Right. Tim, we are | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
going to griddle these fellas. Lovely. We are griddling them? | :10:40. | :10:47. | |
I will stick those on. When you griddle stuff often we will tend to | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
put too much oil and what will happen is that you start almost | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
frying them in the oil. So you don't get the charred lines on it, | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
:11:05. | :11:05. | ||
you end up with horrible blackened... I was right, Lawrence | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
of Arabia enlisted in the RAF under John Ross, was exposed months later | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
and forced to quit. Good knowledge, Tim. I thought he stayed in for the | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
rest of his life under an alias. That's a great story. I went to see | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
The Artist this week. What did you think? It was all right. Don't you | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
think it's been overhyped by this point? That happens to all those | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
films when they come along. To be honest, I fell asleep. You didn't! | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
I did. I felt sorry for the dog. The dog was lovely. I won't say | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
what happens at the end. Everybody has seen it. He neglects the dog. | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
You know, that poor dog. It's no good. These These peppers are quite | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
good. Do you watch a lot of films? I do like watching films. You don't | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
like films. You have to be careful they play with your emotions. I am | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
thinking I am really unhappy, why am I watching this? You watch films | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
because you don't like reading fiction. I don't. Yet you will | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
escape to a chick-flick. You love all hose. He loves a rom-com, Tim. | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
What is your favourite rom-com? How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days. You | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
would love it. Alien versus Predators. It's good that one, you | :12:36. | :12:44. | |
don't get emotional. Self- censorship is underused in this | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
country, when you go on to something like Twitter and people | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
are going I hate so and so, I think you know, why bother watching it | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
then? You have freedom. You are free. With TV and movies and radio | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
and media, just don't watch it, don't read it. You are free to do | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
whatever. You don't have to listen. Politics you have to get involved | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
in, but media you don't, do you? You are on one this morning. I love | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
that. Self-censorship. Right, beautiful. In that bowl. Mustard, | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
honey, we have put all the spices, salt and pepper. We blend this. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
This is going to be noisy for a few minutes. You can have it on | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
permanently. You want this to come together. We have the lovely | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
sweetness of the honey, it's starting to blend with the mustard | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
and with the spices. The moisture means the spices don't become | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
powdery. Blend, blend. Then we add a touch of vinegar. It can be any | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:59. | ||
vinegar you want in this. Tim, as that goes, drizzle in there. Slower. | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
Saturday evening Simon is always a good time for self-censorship. A | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
lot of TV shows, sometimes it's nice to watch Match of the Day. | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
wasn't on last night. I went to bed, clearly there was no football on at | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
all yesterday. This is - we are going to freshen it up, loads of | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
mint in there. Some parsley in there. I love it when it's like | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
this. Look at the mess he is making! This is called we are out | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
of time already and we are not even close to being done. What are we | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
actually making again? A Moroccan puy lentil salad. If you have a | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
taste of that, chef. It will have a level of acidity because what's | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
going to happen is we have lots of sweetness. Is it sharp? Really. | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
have now things like our dates and lentils, so really nice sweetness | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
coming in there. The courgettes are sweet, as well. Could you find a | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
bigger spoon?! There's a kick. we have the magic of combinations | :15:25. | :15:35. | |
:15:35. | :15:46. | ||
of flavours now. Watercress in suppose the dressing should be | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
sharp, because once it gets onto the food. Yeah, if you make this | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
dressing and you think that's too sharp for me, add more honey. | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
You're in control. You are. Self- censorship. You think, you know | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
what... If you're not enjoying it, don't eat it. I don't agree with | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
that. I think people should just eat stuff. You don't always have to | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
enjoy it. It's about fuelling your body. That's what it's about | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
fuelling your body. Now you'll see the change in taste. Now that | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
you've tasted it as a level of acidity in there, now we add the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
sweet bits, the courgettes, dates, which are nice and sweet, pinenuts | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
have a sweetness as well. Another couple of those fellas on top. | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
looks nice. Lady Jones, go for it. It's a nice and healthy start this | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
morning. And it's fresh and what you have now of course with the | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
mint and parsley, they start to come through all the time. Now that | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
acidity is gone, yeah? You still have the sharpness but it's not | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
overpowering. It's quite sticky. Yeah, the demaits there. The dates | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
are making it. That's really good with the dates and the courgettes. | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
The sweetness, it's perfumed. talk main course. We're doing a | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Thai spiced fish pie which Tim isn't sure about. I'm not sure at | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
all. You will be. It looks strange. As ever you can follow our recipes | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
at bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend. That's so ungreatful. Time to look | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
back on one of the daunting Sport Relief challenges to swim 140 miles | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
of the River Thames in eight days. of the River Thames in eight days. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
This is David Walliams' Big Swim. The River Thames, Britain's most | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
iconic river. But it was never meant to be 140 mile-long swimming | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
pool until comedian David Walliams decided to swim it for Sport Relief. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
I chose the Thames because I thought it would be an amazing | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
challenge. Bye. I thought it would have a chance of | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
capturing people's imaginations because most people know the tepldz. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
I know people like to see people off the TV suffer. And suffer he | :18:02. | :18:12. | |
did. This is the inside story of what David went through. A body is | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
not meant to do this much swimming day after day. Putting his body | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
through agony. The purpose of this challenge is to replicate what it | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
is like to feel 80. Testing his demation of incredible highs -- | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
determination of incredible highs... I've never applauded him before, | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
sbt -- isn't that the odd thing. I've been to lots of his shows. | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
terrible lows. How are you feeling? I'm going to vomit. That is one | :18:49. | :18:58. | |
:18:59. | :19:04. | ||
I think that's amazing what he did. I really do. He was so ill. You can | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
see all of the Big Swim special on Thursday night on BBC One at 9pm. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
What John Bishop did as well was amazing and Eddie Izzard. John | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
Bishop, well last night he had raised �1.6 million. That's an | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
incredible amount. To put your body through that when you're not a | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
proper athlete. They're amazing. You're next. I don't think my knees | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
would hack it. Tweet in your suggestions for Tim. Any way our | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
first guest is a prolific actress but started her career in the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Department of Education and science at the Victoria and Albert museum. | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
After being told very nicely but firmly to leave, she turned her | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
hand to acting and made her debut as Michelle in the cult hit movie | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Rita, Sue and Bob Too. Would either of you like a cup of tea? Yes, | :19:50. | :20:00. | |

Yeah, what time? We'll ge out between 7.30 and 8pm if you can | :20:16. | :20:21. | |

Oh, was she here the first time we baby sat? That was Angela. Was she | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
married? She was she got divorced a year ago. Two of my brothers are | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
also divorced. There's three divorced in the same family? There | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
might be four yet. Welcome to Something For The Weekend, Lesley | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
Sharp. How are you? Good thank you. I clap | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
because on our show we clap when a guest comes. Amazing first role to | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
get, that. Do you reckon anyone actually watched that as a cinema. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
It's everyone's, one of people's favourite films, everyone's watch | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
today on telly. When it first came out it didn't go down very well. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
It's acquired a cult status over the years I think. Some great 80s | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
fashion in that clip. Horrendous. The length, it was down below your | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
knees and out here. All that stuff has come back in. Not that bad. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
You'll see Tim in leggings and a long cardigan sometimes. It's a | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
funny film because the subject matter is quite depressing, but it | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
makes you laugh all the way through. Yeah, yeah. It's very unpolitically | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
correct, you know, it's an older man having an affair with two very | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
young girls. It's, you know... you first read the script were you | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
thinking, this is never going to work? No, because it had been a | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
play at the royal court. It had been very well received. The trick | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
was to turn it into a film. They did it really well. Amazing. Let's | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
get onto what you're doing now, Scott & Bailey. Very successful. | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Second series? Yes. Coming out very soon. Starts a week tomorrow. | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
finished film sning No, I have one week left. Have you? Yeah, I finish | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
on Friday. It's going to be, it will go out just as we're finished. | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
They will still edit the last block while it's going out. It's going to | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
be a scramble I think. For those who didn't see the first series the | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
premise is you play Janet and Suranne Jones plays Rachel. It | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
focuses on the lives of two women who are detectives, but also on | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
their home lives as well. You get a double edged sword. Yeah, yeah. The | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
trick is really is that you're seeing two women who are incredibly | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
able in the work place and they're dealing with some pretty unpleasant | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
cases and that is just posed with their home lives. They're -- their | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
personal lives are slightly in disarray. It's great because you | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
see two sides of them. How much research did you have to do before | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
you took the role? We were really lucky, we got to, we got to meet | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
real detectives. One of the guys that I met was a level five | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
interviewer. There's five different levels, five being the top. He was | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
fascinating about the way that he described going about interviewing, | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
getting people to admit that they've done these horrendous | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
things. You have to completely suspend your judgment about someone, | :23:42. | :23:50. | |
before you go into the room. You have to be so throwing and make | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
sure you're hitting -- thorough and make sure you're hitting every | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
point. The reason I giggled there, was I slightly sexist, a little | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
bit... List ton what he said in the green room. Go on. I'm going to | :24:04. | :24:13. | |
tone it down. To save my job. What I said is, is there really two | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
women will go out detectives together like that in a | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
partnership? Of course. Seriously! There we are see. So there's lots | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
of you know... Yeah there's lots and lots of women in the police | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
force. I know there are. But are there lots that go out together? | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Yes. I tell you what, shall we have a clip to get you out of this hole. | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:54. | ||
Nadia? I'm Dective Constable Sherene Scott Manchester | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Metropolitan Police Police Major Incident Team. We'd like to ask you | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
a few questions. It won't take long. Would you mind popping over to the | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
station with us. I ain't done out. You might be able to help us, | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
that's all. Come on, you can have a cup of tea and we'll drive you home | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
afterwards. What happens is, I'm so stuck in | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
the Sweeney age where I expect people to be jumping over cars and | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
stuff. No, ours is a different kind of cop show. The first series was | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
incredibly hop lar, hitting six million. What do you think has | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
struck a chord, is it because the audience wanted a Cagney & Lacey, a | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
modern version of that on the screens? I think it's a really | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
beguiling mixture of genre, police, but the women in the show are | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
really real. I just think there's an appetite for cracking stories. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
And your relationship with Suranne Jones, that's very real. What's it | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
like, you know, off set, do you get on? Yeah really well. I think | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
that's another fantastic thing about the show is that it's about a | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
real friendship between two women who aren't the same age. I think | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
that's quite common in the work place. You don't really see it on | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
:26:21. | :26:21. | ||
telly very often. Both playing Women! Is it true that you recently | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
got -- originally got into acting because of Dick Emery? No, the | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
thing is when I was a kid... I want that story to be true. I just loved | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
the Dick Emery show. He used to do all these different disguises. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
lot of people won't know who Dick Emery is, our younger viewers, but | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
he used to dress up. Yeah, he used to do naughty refrpbdz and put on | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
blonde wigs and he used to play that woman who used to say "Oh, you | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
are awful, but I like you." Do we have any more pictures? No, just | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
one picture. Listen, we'll talk to you more, you have more projects | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
going on. You like cooking as well. I love it. You're going to educate | :27:09. | :27:15. | |
Simon. No pressure. Lesley is staying to cook our dessert with | :27:15. | :27:22. | |

Late this afternoon at the Old Bailey Jonathan Aitken was jailed | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
for 18 months. He'd admitted lying on oath and perverting the course | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
of justice. Prince Edward has married Sophie Rhys-Jones at | :27:55. | :28:01. | |

The England rugby captain, Lawrence Dallaglio has resigned following | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
allegation that's he took and supplied illegal drugs, but the | :28:08. | :28:14. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 48 seconds | :28:24. | :29:12. | |
I've never seen that film, have you? No. Absolutely no idea. When | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
the guy was sitting there in Boom Boom Boom Boom, do you not think at | :29:18. | :29:26. | |
any stage he looked at it and went "No. No-one is going to buy that?" | :29:26. | :29:36. | |
'98, '97, '97. Of course it's '97. Everyone remembers that. All the | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
ones over the five-and-a-half years doing the show, that one I have no | :29:40. | :29:48. | |
idea. I'll go '95. I have no idea. Way too early Simon. Not a clue. | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
What have you been cooking this week. Photos first. Starting with | :29:52. | :30:02. | |
:30:02. | :30:03. | ||
John and Sam from Kent. They made pork. As you do, you have your tea | :30:03. | :30:13. | |
:30:13. | :30:14. | ||
with your tortoises. Would they be tortoii? Hmmm... That's not very | :30:14. | :30:20. | |
exciting are they? I don't know I've never had one. Not much fun | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
when they're asleep over the winter. Maybe they are. I don't know what | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
they do. Do they watch telly with you? Also really rough paws. Paws? | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
Claws. I think they have claws. you are getting them to do tricks, | :30:36. | :30:42. | |
that wouldn't be very nice. Then speaking of animal life, this is | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
Nadia from Southampton with her baked leaked Gorgonzola and penne. | :30:50. | :30:56. | |
She ate it while wearing her leopard onesie. It's a onesie is | :30:56. | :31:03. | |
it? It doesn't specify. Now the videos. First video, this is | :31:03. | :31:12. | |
Douglas. We did pasta and leek yesterday. We have the dishes | :31:12. | :31:22. | |
:31:22. | :31:22. | ||
prepared and everything is cooking Tidy kitchen there, very good. | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
you work in a mess, you get in a mess. Claire from Northern Ireland, | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
she made the pulled pork. I am Claire from Northern Ireland, a | :31:31. | :31:34. | |
confession first, this isn't the first time I have had the pulled | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
pork this week. The first one was courtesy of my friend, Christian. | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
Before I inflict this on my family I thought I would let my biggest | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
critic have a little taste. What do you think, Benny? He likes it. | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
Don't do that! You can't feed your dog human food. Up to that point it | :31:53. | :32:00. | |
was brilliant. Do you feed your dog? No. Well, we do! But don't | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
feed the dog human food. Just dog food. Is it dried food? Dried food. | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
Same every day? Every single day. Tim, you don't have to like what | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
you eat, it's about fuel. That's it. Animals get on with it, why don't | :32:12. | :32:22. | |
:32:22. | :32:26. | ||
we. Finally, it's Anne and her -- Sara and Charlie from London. | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
Lights, camera action. Tonight we are cooking leeks and walnut pasta. | :32:35. | :32:40. | |
Simon, you can keep your job. It's pretty good. He was cooking with | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
the pan behind him. Is that hip hop? The kids do that, I am a | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
little old for that now. Don't move, we still have photos. It's to | :32:51. | :33:01. | |
embarrass Tim and I. First, here is me. Oh! Yeah, this is me. Look at | :33:01. | :33:08. | |
that, that's brilliant. That looks like you have just had your hair | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
plopped on top of you. Are you sure that's not a hat? It's really big | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
long hair that I had. And this is you. LAUGHTER. I have seen that | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
before, I like that one. How cool was that hair? Who was your | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
favourite player in those days? It's a bit Gary Shaw that look. | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
actually went into a picture with Gary Shaw from Villa and went cut | :33:33. | :33:43. | |
:33:43. | :33:44. | ||
my hair like that. It's Dixon and Speed Era. Joey Jones. If you want | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
to have your face on the fridge in the last show take a photo and send | :33:49. | :33:57. | |
it via the website or tweet us. Videos as well. He used to come | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
running out at Stamford Bridge. He played for Liverpool and Chelsea, | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
that's why we both love him. It's such a shame, yesterday the | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
football was cancelled. None of it on at all. Second time in recent | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
weeks. International weekend was it? Must have been, I don't know. | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
It's netball time anyway. I have been watching it, down to the last | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
four. They're going to have your lot to be honest. We did well last | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
night, yeah. My yellows are going to do it. Sky Blues. Shall we cook | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
something! We are going to do a Thai spiced fish pie. Whatever you | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
fancy you can do. Even mixed fish cut-offs in supermarkets will work. | :34:41. | :34:48. | |
We have chilli, onion, lemongrass, garlic. Milk and coconut milk flour, | :34:48. | :34:53. | |
butter, peas, coriander, lime, sweet potato, ordinary potato with | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
butter and spring onion. This is a rapid one this, Tim. If you would | :34:58. | :35:08. | |
:35:08. | :35:11. | ||
our sauce. Whenever I see the off- cut stuff of fish in the shops I | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
never like it. It's one of those things... I wonder why it's like | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
that. It's really when you trim up the fish obviously there will be | :35:19. | :35:26. | |
bits of off-cuts and if things are of a specific size then it's good | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
for things like a fish pie. Although I like big pieces of fish, | :35:29. | :35:37. | |
to be honest. I have bruised the lemongrass and chopped chilli, keep | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
the leaves whole. Those go in as well. Why does chilli burn? Why, I | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
don't know why, I know the bit that make it is burn. It's the membrane | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
around the seed. Are you going to enlighten me? I have no idea. Why | :35:53. | :35:59. | |
didn't they invent a new word for it, why choose the same word as | :35:59. | :36:06. | |
getting hot. Because it's not hot, is it? Wow! I don't know. Do you | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
not know the answer? I don't. thought you were going to tell me. | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
Why does it burn? In half and in half, and in three. Can I use the | :36:16. | :36:23. | |
same knife? You can. Then we chuck in the milk. Half and half? Yeah, | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
big chunks. The problem is if you were to buy the mini cuts you have | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
to be careful you don't overcook it because it becomes a fish mush. | :36:31. | :36:36. | |
This way we have big pieces. We bring this up to the boil, it | :36:36. | :36:41. | |
probably won't do in time, if I am perfectly honest. Then poach it. | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
Let's imagine this has come to the boil, Tim, and then put all the | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
bits of fish in there. Are we really out of time on this dish? | :36:49. | :36:56. | |
a scale of one to ten, about a nine. Yeah, it's quite over, to be honest. | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
If chillis were huge when Shakespeare was around he would | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
have invented a different word for the burning sensation, maybe. What | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
are we doing with this? It shouldn't be called burning. | :37:08. | :37:14. | |
need to get out more, fella, you really do! We are pretending this | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
has come to the boil, then drop it down to an absolute bare simmer and | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
chuck the fish in and poach that for about five or six minutes. I | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
can give you a job to do so we can nearly get this done. Then I want | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
you to scoop out the fish with our slotted spoon. When you see the | :37:35. | :37:41. | |
lemongrass just leave that. The lime leaves can stay in. Pop it | :37:41. | :37:46. | |
into there. Beautifully cooked. Meanwhile, we make the Roux which | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
is going to cover the fish. Butter in the pan and melt the butter. | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
does actually smell really nice. Yeah, it's a mild amount of Thai | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
spice. It's not a massively - you can make it as spicy as you want. | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
You can even add a little bit of green Thai curry paste so it became | :38:06. | :38:13. | |
a strong Thai flavour. Then we melt the butter, we add a bit of flour | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
in there. Cook out the flour. don't want this sauce at all -- | :38:17. | :38:22. | |
this stock at all? We are going to use that now. Now we are making a | :38:22. | :38:28. | |
Roux with it. Cook out the flour and the butter. Once that's cooked | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
then we add a little bit of our coconut milk in there. The | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
important thing is when you make a Roux you have to make sure you are | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
always cooking the flour out so you need to make sure that it's | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
bubbling and smooth. As it bubbles, that means the flour is cooking so | :38:47. | :38:54. | |
it won't taste floury. Whisk that in. There is a component in chillis | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
which is an irritant producing the sensation of burning when it comes | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
into contact with tissue. I am not satisfied. I am not satisfied with | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
that actually. You can start mashing the potato and sweet potato. | :39:05. | :39:11. | |
Of course I can. Chuck that butter in there. Why are we not rice -- | :39:11. | :39:18. | |
rising it? We could do. We whisk this until it's smooth. I would | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
chuck coriander in at this point and pour that over until it's just | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
covered like that. What you have there, the coconut smell and the | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
delicious mild Thai flavours. A little bit of spring onion in that | :39:32. | :39:39. | |
as well. Chop all of that. What you will find is on the recipe on the | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
website for this, if you find, depending on the size of the bowl, | :39:42. | :39:49. | |
that you have too much sauce, make the sauce to that point OK. You | :39:49. | :39:55. | |
never like mashing, do you? Seasoning in there. Let us now | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
spoon all of this delightful sweet potato and ordinary potato mix on | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
to the top there like that. Then spread it out with a fork. We have | :40:07. | :40:13. | |
nearly done this, yes! Result! I thought this this was going to be a | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
fall off air moment. I will plate this up gently like that. Chilli on | :40:19. | :40:29. | |
there. This is stir fried green, bok choi. Sweet potato has much | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
less starch in it than ordinary potato. What you sometimes find if | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
you try and just do sweet potato it's too soft. You need that little | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
bit of starch that we get from the ordinary potato to make it work. | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
This goes into the oven for about 20 minutes or so. Finish it under a | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
hot grill so it becomes crispy. Still not convinced. You will be, | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
honestly. I promise you will. We have this beautiful, delicious | :40:56. | :41:05. | |
fishy pie with all of the lovely crispy bits, the best bits, without | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
a shadow of a doubt. Smell that, it's lovely, the coconut is divine. | :41:09. | :41:16. | |
It does but it feels like it should be served on a bed of rise -- rice. | :41:16. | :41:23. | |
Cow have rice, -- cow have rice, -- you could have rice. You can't eat | :41:23. | :41:31. | |
fish pie and rice. It looks delicious. It's going to be | :41:31. | :41:40. | |
physically hot, not spicy. What you get is coconut, so you get that | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
familiarity with the fish pie sensation and nice spice. That's | :41:44. | :41:54. | |
:41:54. | :41:55. | ||
good, yeah. That's delicious. Converted. Lesley will be cooking | :41:55. | :42:03. | |

Douglas Adams novels about a detective who specialises in | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
discovering improbable solutions to baffling mysteries, this is Dirk | :42:25. | :42:35. | |

We should phone the bomb squad. There is a chance he will never | :42:43. | :42:53. | |
You would like me to get that, would you? | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
Hello. It's Mr Edwards, says he thinks someone's trying to kill him. | :42:59. | :43:05. | |
Tell Mr Edwards we will be with him shortly. He says you said we would | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
be with him shortly over 24 hours ago. Tell him this time I mean it. | :43:10. | :43:15. | |
Mr Edwards, yes... Yes, no, it's just... We think someone might be | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
trying to kill us, as well. We will be with you as soon as we | :43:19. | :43:29. | |

Why is someone sending you a Valentine's card in April? | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
question is who is sending me a card in April and what are the | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
series of interconnected events that have led this woman to fall | :44:10. | :44:20. | |

You can watch the first part of the new series of Dirk Gently on Monday | :44:28. | :44:35. | |
night, BBC4 at 9.00. Our next guest guest graced the walls of many a | :44:35. | :44:42. | |
teenager girls' bedroom back in the 1980s when he played hunk Scott | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
Robinson and a staggering 20 million Brits tuned in to see him | :44:46. | :44:56. | |
:44:56. | :45:32. | ||
get hitched to a young Kylie Welcome to Something For The | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
Weekend Mr Jason Donovan! I think you cut it at just the right time. | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
Alex said that was her favourite piece of TV of all time. It was. | :45:42. | :45:50. | |
And one of my first singles Especially for You and B side that | :45:50. | :45:55. | |
one. It's all there, part of history. I have to say what an | :45:55. | :46:01. | |
incredible show to have done. And there's not a day goes by in my | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
life that I don't talk about it. I'm proud of it. Do you get bored | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
of talking about it? You've done so much in your career and everyone | :46:09. | :46:14. | |
comes back to Neighbours. I think, as I say, I think there's worse | :46:14. | :46:18. | |
things that you could be associated with, obviously. You know, we were | :46:19. | :46:24. | |
talking about it before, back stage, that show attracted an audience of | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
20 million people a day. I mean, X Factor or Strictly on a good day | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
will get 10 or 11. Those days are gone. I think when you have that, | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
over a period of three, four years, four days a week, characters like | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
Scott and Charlene, that come into people's lives, people genuinely | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
think you're part of their lives. Completely. That's where it's very | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
different. You know, we all know from X Factor and from Strictly how | :46:55. | :47:00. | |
you get involved in the stories. Can you imagine what that was like | :47:00. | :47:06. | |
for myself, Craig, for Guy, Kylie, all of us. People really thought | :47:06. | :47:12. | |
they owned you. Do you miss it? What fame? That sort of hysteria | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
and fame? I never got into the business to be famous. I got into | :47:16. | :47:22. | |
the business because I wanted to be an actor. That's what still drives | :47:22. | :47:27. | |
me. I think fame was a by-product of it. You do become addicted to | :47:27. | :47:34. | |
fame in a twisted sort of way. you said, you were a massive part | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
of especially girls' lives in the 80s. You were on my bedroom wall, | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
your poster was there. We had the same hair cut. You looked good | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
actually with a mullet. LAUGHTER | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
I think it's going south for both of us at the moment. You're all | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
right. What was weird was when they said do you want to do Strictly and | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
then I found out Jason was doing it. It was the most bizarre thing. I | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
used to see you every night when I went to sleep. I think I do | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
remember a tweet about a year-and- a-half or two years ago where you | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
interviewed was it David Cassidy or someone like that, and you referred | :48:13. | :48:20. | |
to the fact thaw were a massive fan of mine growing up. I'm so ashamed. | :48:20. | :48:25. | |
So I tweeted you and you retreated me. Then we found ourselves on | :48:25. | :48:32. | |
Strictly. When you look at what happened in those days, when you | :48:32. | :48:38. | |
add music into the mix, music is such an emotional currency, and I | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
think the characters say Scott and Charlene, when you start making | :48:42. | :48:51. | |
records especially, Especially For You, it galvanises the whole love | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
affair. Music can take you to a time and place that no other sort | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
of medium can. When you play a record, you can remember exactly | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
where you were, how you were feeling and I think that is such a, | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
books don't do that, I don't think television does that. I don't think | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
films do it. When you put on music, that's what I love about recording. | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
We're going to talk about the album in a minute. Now back to Strictly. | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
You were both on it. We have footage of you both dance being. -- | :49:20. | :49:30. | |
:49:30. | :49:56. | ||
It was a showbiz extravaganza. A theatrical spectacular. I don't | :49:56. | :50:06. | |
:50:06. | :50:25. | ||
know how you did that, it was a- I love that. It's like a night out | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
in Swansea. Especially the last bit. Brilliant. You can't show Jason | :50:30. | :50:35. | |
dancing and tag me onto the end. It's not fair. You did so well. | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
came fourth and you were third. Correct. You were very good at | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
dancing. I must say. Was I? were. Thank you. I have to say, it | :50:45. | :50:51. | |
was an incredible, I use the word "journey", we weren't supposed to | :50:51. | :50:56. | |
use that word for a long time. It was an incredible journey. I | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
believe what you put in is what you get out. I have history in dancing | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
in theatre. But that experience was completely different. What was | :51:04. | :51:10. | |
different about it was that they're athletes. Yeah, they are. With | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
respect, we're in entertainment. We're just normal human beings. | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
have to interrupt you. We have to talk about your new album. Let's | :51:18. | :51:28. | |
:51:28. | :51:29. | ||
lock at a clip first. # Every time we say goodbye | :51:29. | :51:37. | |
# I die a little # Every time we say goodbye | :51:38. | :51:43. | |
# I won't dabs, don't ask me # I won't dance, don't ask me | :51:43. | :51:50. | |
# I won't dance Madam with you # My heart won't let my feet do | :51:50. | :51:58. | |
things that they should do # It's got a big band vibe. Some | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
classic songs on there. One of them is Bewitched, which is what you | :52:02. | :52:07. | |
danced your quickstep to. How did you choose the tracks? We just, I | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
was away at Christmas. Hi three weeks off and a bunch of songs were | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
sent to me and I just looked at them and thought, these are the | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
ones I could do. I'm not a vocal gymnast. I have to be careful about | :52:19. | :52:24. | |
the songs I can and can't do. I've always wanted to do a record that | :52:24. | :52:32. | |
is chilled out, Chet Baker, Harry Connick. I love a glass of wine on | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
a Sunday afternoon. Me too. I love to put on a bit of Ella fits Gerald. | :52:38. | :52:44. | |
That's the sort of record I wanted to make. I guess with Strictly, we | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
had the opportunity, record companies love a bit of a | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
television profile, you know, why not. Will you be touring that at | :52:52. | :53:00. | |
all? Love to tour. Let's just see how the people take to it. And if | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
it is successful enough. You did a tour recently, though? I've been | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
touring for the last two years. I feel like I've been on tour for two | :53:11. | :53:16. | |
years. I wouldn't be shy of doing my own songs and getting out there | :53:16. | :53:22. | |
again. I love working live. But I've just come off the Strictly | :53:22. | :53:28. | |
tour. It's nice to be back with the family and spend a bit of down time | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
and actually, learn to relax. Isn't that funny. And afternoons at home | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
drinking wine. I can almost smell it now, yes. We'll talk about what | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
you're doing next when you do some cooking with us. Jason is with us | :53:41. | :53:48. | |
all morning, get your questions for him or Lesley Sharp in. Tweet | :53:48. | :53:56. | |

do that. Yeah I can. I'mson -- Simon makes sausage and chore | :54:11. | :54:16. | |
reetso goulash. And following the lives of seven friends who met in | :54:16. | :54:25. | |
the 60s in White Heat. Still to come our gadget girl is | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
Lucy Hedges with the best of the new things on the block including | :54:28. | :54:34. | |
this hybrid bike. That's Tim on it. This bike | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
apparently is about �25,000, is that right? Bargain. Tim said it's | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
good, but it looks a bit childish so I wouldn't buy it. | :54:43. | :54:49. | |
That's was -- that was his sum up of the bike. Lesley is with us. Are | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
you handy in the kitchen. I love to cook, yeah. Good, that makes two of | :54:54. | :55:03. | |
you. We're going to make profiteroles we're making choux | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
pastry. It's sugar, vanilla, water, coffee liqueur and strong coffee. | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
For the pastry butter and water bubbling away, eggs, salt and flour | :55:13. | :55:18. | |
and the filling is cream, icing sugar and vanilla. What we're doing | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
with the sauce, we've put sugar and water that we're boiling up so it | :55:23. | :55:25. | |
water that we're boiling up so it becomes syrupy. All we do is chuck | :55:25. | :55:31. | |
in the coffee and the liqueur and let it bubble away. You could do it | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
with chocolate as well. We're doing it slightly different. Are you a | :55:34. | :55:43. | |
fan of desserts? No, actually I'm more salt. Savoury. Simon will | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
convert you. From an eating point of view I'm more of a savoury than | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
sweet. A little bit of something sweet at the end of a meal with a | :55:50. | :55:56. | |
cup of coffee, this is perfect. nice thing is the pastry isn't too | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
sweet. Basically we boil the sugar, the water and butter wh. That's | :56:00. | :56:07. | |
melted, we take it off the heat. Tip in all the flour and then start | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
beating it. You want it to come together so it comes away from the | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
side of the pan. A splinkle of salt in there. Normally with flour you | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
want to be gentle with it, so you don't stretch the gluten. It's like | :56:23. | :56:29. | |
a paste. That's quickly. There you go. This is the difficult bit. Now | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
you have to crack in one egg at a time. We talked about this before, | :56:33. | :56:40. | |
the thing that people make a hiss take -- mistake, you beat the egg | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
in. People don't beat it for long enough. So at the moment butter, | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
flour, sugar that's combined. If you don't combine all of the egg, | :56:49. | :56:53. | |
you end up with egg white left in there, so you don't have a complete | :56:53. | :57:01. | |
mix. How do you tell? As you keep working it, you'll see, when you've | :57:01. | :57:06. | |
got this mix now, if you were to spread that out, you have no little | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
bits of egg in there, that has become one piece of paste. So you | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
can put another one in? Yes. My daughter was nearly Lesley's | :57:16. | :57:21. | |
daughter. In Scott & Bailey... she got on a plane to Barcelona | :57:21. | :57:31. | |
:57:31. | :57:31. | ||
when she got the chance to come back. Let's have a look. She's | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
beautiful. She auditioned for it and she got a call back on it, but | :57:35. | :57:40. | |
she was on a school trip to Barcelona. I'm not saying, whoever | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
it is Lesley's daughter, I'm not insulting you, but she was very | :57:45. | :57:49. | |
excited. One of the things we didn't chat about in your chat is | :57:49. | :57:55. | |
you're doing a drama for Sky calling Starlings. Yes, that's out | :57:55. | :58:05. | |
in April. That's a comedy drama about a family with Brendan Coyle. | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
I'm very excited about that. That will do. You mix all the six eggs | :58:09. | :58:15. | |
in and we end up with this. Here's the thing, if we were going to make | :58:15. | :58:21. | |
little profill roles we need to pipe them so they're small. People | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
get fed up with piping because it's sticky. You just need to take a | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
spoonful like that, take it vertically and pop it on the sheet | :58:30. | :58:38. | |
like that. -a good gap between them because they're going to spread. | :58:38. | :58:42. | |
He's making you work here. This is the way. Just back to our sauce, we | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
have boiled up all of the coffee ingredients. Then the final thing | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
we're going to add, just to thicken it, you don't have to do this, but | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
I want it to be glossy and thick, this is cornflour and water | :58:53. | :58:58. | |
combined. Whisk that in and it will thicken it. This isn't essential. I | :58:59. | :59:03. | |
just want this to be a bit thicker. We cook that out and it will give a | :59:03. | :59:10. | |
bit of viscosity. Loads of tweets. I know you're busy, but one of the | :59:10. | :59:15. | |
things we didn't get to either was the Full Monty. We have had a tweet | :59:15. | :59:20. | |
from Jack asking "What was it like working with Robert Carlisle?" | :59:20. | :59:25. | |
was great. It was a fantastic group of actors. I wasn't on it for very | :59:25. | :59:31. | |
long. My part took about 11 days of the shoot to film. There they are. | :59:31. | :59:36. | |
They were all really lovely. And Mark and I got in incredibly well. | :59:36. | :59:43. | |
We were playing husband and wife. You've done so many northern dramas, | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
what's your favourite character? It's really difficult. They're all | :59:48. | :59:53. | |
different I suppose. Yeah, there was one job that I really loved and | :59:53. | :59:57. | |
it was Bob and Rose that Russell T Davies wrote. I loved that | :59:57. | :00:02. | |
character. Speaking of Russell T Davies he's hailed you as the | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
possible new female Doctor Who or is that just lies and deceit. | :00:05. | :00:12. | |
was just mucking around, but you know, he... Oh, my God. Look what | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
:00:22. | :00:26. | ||
Those ones make that size? long? About 20 minutes. Here is the | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
key, the second thing people get wrong, once they've gone to that | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
point that isn't the end because the middle will still be a little | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
bit soft. Pop them on to the bottom, and even turn them over and dry | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
them out. You turn the oven off? You can or on a low heat and bottom | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
of the oven and it will dry the middle out. Will you rather pipe in | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
the middle or pipe around. middle, please. I knew that's what | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
you would do. We take a little hole into the middle of the choux bun | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
like that. Are you right-handed or left? Right. Hand like that and | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
twist that. That goes in there, keep pressure tight. Basically just | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
squeeze in until no more will go in. I am quite jealous. I always wanted | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
to try piping. Beautiful, look at that. That's a massive big fat | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
choux bun. That's divine. Let's pop that on the plate. Is it the same | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
feeling after all those years that wanted to dress up and be these | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
people? I think so. It can be difficult being away from home and | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
you do work long hours and stuff, but I do love it. I really, really | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
love my job. And Lesley was saying, you will like this, Simon, there is | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
going to be a bake-off on Scott and Bailey. We are serious about it. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
What are you baking? I made a Vanilla sponge with chocolate | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
ganache. Who is involved, the entire crew? Yes, someone made | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
breakfast cake, which was delicious. What did Suranne Jones make. | :02:16. | :02:25. | |
hasn't done anything yet. She might cheat and buy cupcakes. The sauce | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
is thick, delicious, coffee- flavoured. Jason, Alex, Les, dig in. | :02:30. | :02:40. | |
:02:40. | :02:44. | ||
Destroy it. This is the vegetarian? Yeah. That looks so nice! I haven't | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
been listening over there, is it... Coffee sauce, rather than chocolate. | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
It looks like gravy. Jason's going to be cooking the next dish. It's | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
drying it out in the middle, that's the key. What is Jason doing? | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
Sausage and chorizo goulash. Wow, love a bit of sausage. Wayne's been | :03:15. | :03:25. | |

# Boom, boom, boom I want you in my room | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
I had to work a little harder, that's all. I believe in the voters. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
They understand elections aren't just popularity contests. They know | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
this country was built by people like me who worked very hard and | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
don't have everything handed to them on a silver spoon. | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
It's not like some rich kids who everybody likes because their | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
fathers give them trucks on their 16th birthday and give them parties, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
they don't ever have to work for anything. They thick they can all | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
of a sudden one day waltz right in with no qualifications whatsoever | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
and try to take away what other people have worked for, very, very | :05:00. | :05:10. | |

hard their entire lives! No, didn't Right, Boom Boom, by the Venga Boys, | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
the greatest record ever made. I went 97. I think it was later, even | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
99. I am with Wayne. I will go 2000, just to be controversial. OK. What | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
have have you been up to? I was in Lanzorate, I was at the former | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
residence of Omar Sharif, the whole island is sci-fi and it's cavy, | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
it's a beautiful place. Unfortunately, he no longer is a | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
resident there because he lost it in a gambling bet, apparently. He | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
gambled it. He is a big bridge player, apparently. Apparently he | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
gambled it. His whole house? lived there for the 70s, that was | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
his playground. What do they do with the house now? It's a | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
restaurant, a museum. It was bay fame -- it was by a famous | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
architect in Spain. It's used for high profile events. What are we | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
making? This is Buena Vidi, we used it on the island. We thought we | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
would go with this one, fresh flavours and Spanish, the good life. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
He was probably drinking this when he gave his house away playing | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
cards. We have some pineapple in there and lime juice, sweeten with | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
Vanilla syrup and then we are going to add some of this lovely mandarin | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
liqueur. I am going to use a good shot and a half of tequila. Last | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
time I was here they were non- alcoholic ones. Grapefruit that | :06:54. | :07:02. | |
works well with the Vanilla and mandarin, nice flavours. Add in | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
that grapefruit and Vanilla and mandarin. Is this going to be sour? | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
Not really, you have the pineapple and Vanilla and the mandarin as | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
well. I am going to add a couple of dashes of angostura bitters. | :07:27. | :07:35. | |
Straight over the ice. You get a nice colour coming from the bitters. | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
A nice wedge of pine andle -- pineapple. That's nice glasses. | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
:07:51. | :07:55. | ||
always has a lovely glass. Buena Vida. Really fresh. Oh! No | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
wonder Omar Sharif lost his house. You wouldn't know what day it was | :07:58. | :08:06. | |
after up with of those. Got a bit overexcited there. It's nice. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Tastes lovely. That's really good. You can taste the alcohol. That's | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
really nice. I love the fresh flavours, I am a big fan of | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
margarita. This next drink is Fred Said. Somebody at the event is a | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
:08:32. | :08:34. | ||
famous whisky distiller. Jim Beams great grandson. I said what do you | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
mix your bourbon with, he said whatever you like, Fred said. | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
That's what I called this. We have apricot, apple juice, fresh lemon. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
A nice balance. Apricot and apple harmonise fantastically with | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
bourbon whisky. Give it a good shake. | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
Good for the bingo wings. Very good exercise. They had the bar, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
actually it was a big bar over the swimming pool in the main area with | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
about 250 people watching and I was up every hour doing showcasing, | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
great place to be. Good music. Fantastic venue. A little zest of | :09:22. | :09:32. | |

gadget expert today is Lucie Hedges, how are you? Very well, thank you. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
We have three gadgets today, all three are exciting. Awesome. Let's | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
get started. All quite pricey, it must be said. As always. This is a | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
pair of high-def recording ski goggles. They can record action on | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
the slopes whether you are skiing snowboarding and you can get all | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
the action, relive it all in high- def. Lightweight, big buttons on | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
the side to allow for greater dexterity if you have big gloves or | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
fingers frozen. These respond to a screen in the middle. If I turn it | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
on it goes blue. Between the different modes it changes colour. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
It does stills, this is what I am alter Nating between. When I hit | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
record it blinks and you can see all that from the comfort of your | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
goggles and capture all the action. OK. We have some footage someone's | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
filmed. Yeah, obviously a lot of people put cameras on helmets and | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
this is probably the best way of doing it. Exactly. No additional | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
mounts, it sits flush against the helmet. I have never quite got the | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
idea of why people want to film where they're going, rather than | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
being filmed going somewhere. captures all the action and you are | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
not going to miss that, maybe a friend takes a tumble or you found | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
a great run. This is going to capture all the action. If you have | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
it in your pocket and take it out, too late, you have missed it. Eight | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
hours of action. Heavier than normal goggles. Just a little bit. | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
How much are these? �340. So, steep. Very steep, but worth it. Next? | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
This funky futureistic looking thing is the Misa Kitara, it's done | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
away with the strings and replaced them with a board full of buttons, | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
a touch screen and on board synthesizer, it looks like a guitar, | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
it's not trying to replace the traditional guitar, you can play | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
and control multiple sounds with a guitar effects. I am not going to | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
do it any justice. We have it in strings mode. Strumming the digital | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
strings I can make some sound. There's other modes to play with as | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
well. If I hold the screen down like so I can go into the menu and | :14:36. | :14:43. | |
go into another mode that allows me to drag a ball across the axis and | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
manipulate the sound. I am not doing this any justice! I have no | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
skills. Do you want a go? Not sure I have any skills either. There sor | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
many videos on YouTube that people harness its potential and it's an | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
incredible device, allowing to you produce cool digital music. # Our | :15:02. | :15:10. | |
friends electric... I am not very musical, sadly. You can customise | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
strings to represent different sounds. You can do so much. It's | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
cool looking. How much is this? �400, it's a firm favourite with | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
:15:30. | :15:32. | ||
The Black-Eyed Peas. If you know I don't think Alex was very kind | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
about what I said about this bike. This is... The M55 hybrid bike. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
It's an electric bike. It's not just a beast live looking mountain | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
bike. It's very cool. Now the components that it's created with, | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
it's hand made, custom made aluminium, titanium and carbon | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
fibre body. You've just turned it on. You know you have power. We | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
have a screen here, pressing the button here pertains to your | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
distance, speed and battery level. And this button turns your lights | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
on and off. On the body itself, it has an integrated abattery, | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
centrally mounted motor up to 40mph. You don't have a throttle, as | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
you're cycling. Yeah, it has a hybrid drive. Let's watch me | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
outside. There's no dedicated boost button, when it senses that you | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
need a kick, speed injection, you're peddling hell for leather | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
and it thinks you need help, it will give you that speed injection | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
and act accordingly. It's very clever. It's an amazing thing to | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
ride. It's really smooth. When you peddle it -- pedal it kicks in. I | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
said I don't like the graphics down the side. It's toy like. Let's see | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
how much it is. �25,000. �25,000 I wouldn't want it to be | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
toy-like. Could you get this custom? Yeah they're all custom | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
made, I imagine when you place the order you can say leave that part | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
of the design out. I'm not sure I'm going to spend �25,000, but it's a | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
good ride. Thanks very much. For more information e-mail us via the | :17:24. | :17:27. | |

just clocked it. I've just clocked why he's chosen us, Jack, why he's | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
chosen us in particular. We're his guinea pigs. His what? Exactly. His | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
socio-economic mix. Think about it. He's got the class thing covered, | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
hasn't he, race, you know and you. He's got the professions covered, | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
computing, medicine, English, law, art and... Psychology. Yeah. He's | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
hand picked every one of us to conduct his social experiment. | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
:19:10. | :19:14. | ||
not sure anybody is quite that sin You can see the first part of the | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
new drama Wiet Heat on BBC Two on Thursday evening at 9pm. Jason's in | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
the kitchen with us. I can't remember, are you a good cook? | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
Don't cook. My wife sort of does most of the cooking. We go out and | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
I know good food. I have to say, being an Australian and having | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
spent three weeks, with respect to the UK, the produce in Australia, I | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
guess because it's grown within the country as opposed to being | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
imported, which a lot of the food in the UK is, is incredible. The | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
tastes are unbelievable. That whole local produce thing, Britain, in | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
fact, just for your information Mr Donovan is fantastic. The North | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
West has the most diverse agriculture in all of Europe. From | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
Cumbria to the edge of Staffordshire has the most diverse. | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
We're an island and it's reckoned if we didn't grow food we would -- | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
import food we would starve. need to be self-sufficient. I don't | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
think we could be. I think we can. I think it's volume. There is a | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
problem. I think there is an issue that we would struggle. Maybe we're | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
out of our depth in this conversation. I feel I am. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
food's got a lot better though. I remember when I first came here, it | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
was try getting a freshly squeezed juice and it was like. I used to | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
serve you sometimes in a restaurant. Did you? I won't mention which one. | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
I used to serve you, sit at the bar have a coffee and juice. You never | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
tipped very well. No, you did! We're making a classic, sausage and | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
chore reetso goulash. I'm using beef sausages. Onion and pepper. | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
Bit of flour, smoked papery ka, parsley, sour cream and beef stock. | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
If you would like to roughly chop If you would like to roughly chop | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
those sausages, cut them into three. You can leave them whole if you | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
want, but this is easier. Do you think you're here for good then, | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
England or will you end up going back to Australia? It's difficult | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
with the kids. But I love this country. People have been very kind | :21:34. | :21:41. | |
to me. We have a great life here. My career... There's a picture of | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
you. There's the family. gorgeous wife and my Two kids. I | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
have a one-year-old baby Molly, who is not sleeping very well at the | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
moment. Not seefpb you yet because you're always on tour. Yeah I have | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
to see it's interesting. Do you think you will go back. Do you | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
think it would be your aim, even if you don't achieve it? In a perfect | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
world would be to spend, probably leave here on about the 27th | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
December and come back at March, April. I do love Christmas here. I | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
love the run up to Christmas. I think the cold suits Christmas. I'm | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
from Melbourne. It's not a warm town. We're going to fry off the | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
sausages. Some questions for you. Matt says "Is Jason aware that the | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
best kebab shop in Bristol is named after him? Have you been there? | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
I have never been there. I'm not big on kebabs. If I were to go to | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
Bristol and I was hungry. should just turn up one day and say | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
I think I need royalties, you're using my name. Maybe the name for | :23:04. | :23:14. | |
:23:14. | :23:16. | ||
our Olympic catering, maybe we can bring Jason into the plan. | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
haven't run it past Seb Coe, OBE, no COE. The last time I did the | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
show... Chop that up. When you were at the height of your singing fame, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
there must have been huge sums of money coming in. That was the music | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
industry, where people were getting paid a load of money at that time. | :23:43. | :23:53. | |
Well the thing about Waterman, they were almost as famous as the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
artists. That was an interesting negotiation point. I think I have | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
to say, I mean, if I'm really honest, I don't think the cash is | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
necessarily come from being in this business. It's making good | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
investments with the money that you've had at the time. I've always | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
paid attention to the business aspect of my life. Has there ever | :24:14. | :24:23. | |
been a time where you thought to leave the industry? Yeah. But I, | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
there is something addictive about performing. At the moment, I think | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
I need to probably learn to relax a lot more, if I'm honest. When you | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
have your kids and you've been working consistently the way I have, | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
at times, the time flys by. Do you think you're on that tread mill, | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
and you think if I stop it might all end. I've been doing it for 20 | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
years. Certainly someone my age, there's not too many people who | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
have the background that I have, so that has its own currency. But I | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
think in life it's about trying to find the balance. That's the most | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
important thing. There was a nurse in America who used to nurse people | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
on their death beds and she said that, she wrote a list of the top | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
five regrets, one of them was I work too hard. A lot of people say | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
that. I've got a great saying, success is not the key to happiness. | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Happiness is the key to success. like that. I like it! If you follow | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
that one, you learn to live as well. We're running rapidly out of time. | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
Let me talk you through this. We've fried off the sausages and chorizo. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
We put the onions, chillies and peppers in. Add flour and add a bit | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
of smoked paprika into there. Cook that and give them a coating to | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
thicken the sauce. Then we add the meat back into there. We add our | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
stock into there. Cover it, simmer it, cook it 25 minutes or so. We | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
end up with that OK? Then, two things left to do. One, is we chop | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
a little bit of parsley. We are going to fall off air this time. | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
are. Parsley goes in. Bit of sour cream into there. And then pop a | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
bit of rice into that bowl Mr D and I shall chuck this on. You want to | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
cook this through. We've rattled through this, what you get is this | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
lovely deep, delicious, smoky smell and flavour from using smoked | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
paprika. The sausages are glorious. Any sausages you want work. Beef | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
are particularly nice. That goes into there. Look at that. What more | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
could you want? Hearty. Great British produce, mate. Apart from | :26:54. | :27:04. | |
:27:04. | :27:04. | ||
