07/08/2011 Something for the Weekend

Good morning. It is 10.00am. It is Sunday, the 7th of August, we are

joined today by former Footballers' Wives and now Hollioke helicopter

actress, Laila Rouass. And with us, it is the DJ and

producer, Aniko Kalovics. -- Calvin Harris is with us.

He is also very tall. Simon is back from the States.

Thank you it is nice to be here. We are here to do some cooking, look

at some gadgets and look at next week's telly.

Oh, yes, this is Something For The Good morning. Welcome to Something

For The Weekend. So, you are back, Simon? Yes, I got back at 9.00am

last -- 9.00pm last night. Are you jet lagged? I feel tired

but a bit weird. I don't know whether I want to eat curry or

bacon and eggs. They reckon if you don't want to

get jet lagged then don't eat on the plane. Then get off the plane

and eat the meal you are supposed to eat at that time.

But you are so bored on the plane. I love planes? I still get bored. I

want to eat the rubbish food. No! That and operations, it is the

only time you are relax ed. It is the only time you are not allowed

to do anything. Do we need to put you out for the

rest of the show, Tim? Maybe. Did you enjoy yourself, Simon? It was

brilliant. You have come back from the States

too? We were at the same place at the same time. We were California

dreaming. You didn't see each other there?

Snoifplt no, he called me, -- no, he called me, but he was where he

was for only five minutes, I could not meet him.

What were you doing chin-ups on the beach?! No! Changing the mood

slightly, there was a riot yesterday in Tottenham or last

night. We have woken up to that this morning. We have footage of

what it looked like. This is what they are running on the BBC News.

Last night people were getting stuck in. There is a recession

going on, there are riots. It is like the 80. We had forgotten about

this, because we grew up with it all, 1985 was the last riot.

It was a weird thing when I turned on the TV, I thought it was archive

footage. It has calmed down today,

thankfully. 1985, that was the last time your football team won the

league! I miss though -- those gags. She played the WAG in Footballers'

Wives, since February of this year she has been on our screens as the

cardiothoracic registrar, Sahira Shah, yes it is BBC One's Laila

Rouass! She is lovely. What is it, a cardiothoracic

registrar? I don't know, something to do with the throat.

And bursting on to the scene, he has scored seven number one hits,

two of which he worked on with Dizzee Rascal. It is the hugely

talented Calvin Harris if you have a question you wish to ask Laila

Oracle vine, e-mail us or tweet us. I think that Calvin has only had

two hours of sleep -- Calvin. Just like us! When did you get

back? I got back but couldn't sleep. If you want to ask them anything,

as I say, tweet us. What is cardiothoracic registrar?

Yeah, tell us what that is, but remember to tell us your name.

Right, what are you cooking Mr Jet Lag? We are started with Ricotta-

filled courgette flowers. This is the time with the nice delicate

flowers, this is a simple dish with a nice light batter and the main

course, one of the easiest dishes we have done on the show. It is

coconut curry. It is dead simple. Finished with yoghurt.

What is the red stuff tonne? A bit of pom graniate.

-- what is the red stuff on it? A bit of pomegranate.

I'm not a fan of fruit on my curry. Are you not? It is just a little

garnish. I'm not a big fan of fruit on my savoury. I like savoury to be

savoury and sweet to be sweet. I love a little bit of raisen in my

food! What is the thing on top top of the walnut -- on top of the

Walnut Whip? A walnut?! For desert we have a fantastic cake and

finally, a crab and tofu salad. Now, I know you both hate tofu...

like tofu, Tim hates it. This is a nice text tire with the

crab. -- This is a nice texture with the

crab. It doesn't taste of a lot!

All of the recipes can be found on the website. Tofu can be eaten with

chicken to enhance a meal? No? like it I like all of the things

you have learned over the last fortnight. Now, here is what else

is coming up on the show: Vik Reefs has everyone guessing

what they are saying on Shooting with the Stars.

And Village SOS. June Brown gets emotional on Who Do You Think You A

are? Can you leave me alone for a moment? Lots of great stuff coming

up. First, we have to see what Wayne has for the tples today.

-- tipples today. I have a tweet finally. What have

you got coming up? We have heatwave coolers. A lovely drink with

tequila and a traditional granita that is stunning.

Lovely. We look forward to that later on. Simon, what are you

cooking for the first meal back? The first dish back is the stuffed

The first dish back is the stuffed courgette flower.

We have honey, flour, lemon, pine nets, our courgettes with the

flowers on and the Ricotta that is the filling.

Now, Amanda, you are starting the first task of the day.

Mind if I move this? Not at all. So, the Ricotta is in there, the

next thing to do is to give the pine nuts a chop. These are my

favourite nuts. I love a pine nut. Nice technique. I like it. Would

you have done that, Tim? I would have done that, but I always think

that pine nuts smell of toilet paper.

Do you sniff toilet paper? Is it a habit.

It's been in my life for a long time. It is a habit.

What food did you eat in the States? A stunning restaurant was

in San Francisco. There was an oriental fusion restaurant. So,

Chinese, with a bit of Thai. The food is fantastic over there.

Having said that, the good food is brilliant and the bad food is awful.

Yes, the junk food. But I like their junk food. It is

better than our food. The breakfasts over there! The portions

are just way too big? No! Yes, of course I did.

Did you take in a movie over there? That is what you have to do in

America, to see the films before they are out over here.

My wife took the kids to see Harry Potter.

But that is over here? I know, but that is what they wanted to see.

Did you buy things that you can't get over there -- here that you can

get there? I know that Simon did, the bright grown trainers.

They are old school, Simon, that they are! Hold on, did anyone say

cut. I hear there has been a bit of misbehaving going on.

We don't want the juice, just the zest.

What's the cheese bit? The Ricotta. We are talking about tofu taking on

flavours, Ricotta is doing the same here. It is a neutral cheese. With

the pine nuts and the lemon, they are adding the flavours.

But it brings it all together. feel like I'm doing all of hard

work. Tim is doing nothing! Tim is going to start work now! Tim, crack

an egg and whisk all of that cold water into there quickly.

It is sparkling water it helps to keep the batter crispy.

Then we add a touch of baking powder and some flour.

Serious whisking. Good team. Did you take in sporting events

while you were there? What did you do while you were

there? Do you know what I discovered at my ripe old age. I

discovered body boarding! Really? What is your top tip? My West

Indies went, I thought I was too old.

You are never too old! I loved it. It is good fun, isn't it? So, you

were Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz? What was the biggest wave you

caught? It was probably about seven feet. I was living the dream.

It was the size of a house?! You do live the dream over there. It is

another world. You find yourself using their

expressions, slightly embarrassing, too.

They have lost their credit rating over there since you left.

We have downgraded the country! know! Now, back to cooking. That is

the batter, nice and then. Then, what we do, Amanda, these are our

lovely courgette flowers, we want to stuff the centre here. So we get

the teaspoon and pop it in there. You want probably two teaspoons. It

needs to be, so that when it is in there that you can twist the top.

Cool! I don't think I have seen a courage the flower before. It is so

pretty. Too pretty to eat. So, just two teaspoons, Simon?

need to rattle on with these. Tim, what you can do is now holding the

courgette, it goes into the batter like that. Give it a good coating,

shake off the excess and then straight into the furore. -- fryer.

Where was the best place that you loved, liked? I love san

San Francisco. I used to live there. So did he for four days! The best

place I went to was san Fiskow, the farm -- San Francisco, the best

place I love was the farmer's market.

You were in house, the garden was? The beech.

Now I have this... I brought this over there.

Did you find that American chocolate tastes of cheese.

I know, I don't like their chocolate, but this is strawberry

and rhubarb jam. Taste that, it is glorious! That is delicious. Really

going to use that in some way. This I bought for you, Tim. Big Hunk.

You know it! He knows it big fella. We are American, awesome! Cheese

right there. It says low fat. I was thinking of you. I am ripped.

Boys, what are you like! anyone's followed this at home,

congratulations. Obviously, you can get all the details of the recipe

on the website which you will probably need to. These are frying

away. Whenever we fry stuff this is fresh oil, fresh oil is the worst

thing for colouring things up, you want a bit of impurity in there, so

this will look pale but the flavour will be good. These are frying so

you have the softness of the courgette flower, covered with the

batter but you want a small amount of the batter. We have the ricotta.

Isn't it going to melt? It will hold. If you did something that

melted you have to have so much batter on it, it will be too heavy

for the flower. Ricotta doesn't melt? It just softens, that's all

that happens. If you were to put it in a pan and put loads of heat it

will eventually melt. We are protecting it with the batter, like

an ice-cream fritter. More pinenuts here as well. We fish out our our

courgette flowers. Which would be browner. That's the one that's just

gone in. Don't eat that one. We need an uneven number on there. If

you have contaminated oil they will hold up better. On to there and

sprinkle with a little bit of pepper and salt. Smells delicious.

All we do then to garnish them is lay these three lovely flowers on

there. The top one is the one we are going to eat. We are going to

dribble a bit of honey here, so we get that lovely sweetness at the

end. Go for it. What you have is the slight bit of - it's a delicate

batter, the flowers and that lovely lemony pinenut and honey finishes

it. Wow. What are you doing for main course? A simple chicken curry.

It tastes like dessert, so good. That's good. It's delicious. As

always, you can get all the recipes on our website. Time to have a look

at the new series of Shooting Stars, my favourite, and Vic and Bob are

on form, as always, it's Tight's Pick a category from above. Steel.

Good choice. Mr Reeves, who should be here, and he is, as always, will

sing a song in a club style. Listen carefully, can you tell what song

I know it. What was it, James? I have no idea.

Bridget? Come on Let's Twist Again. I was singing Making Your Mind Up

by Bucks Fizz. Let's hear that properly in the style of a

Yorkshire steel worker. # First you got to roll it out

# You look around # Then you will find it's time to

Still the highlight of Thai career being on -- of my Career being on

Shooting Stars and you can see that tomorrow night on BBC two at

10.00pm. Bob went to me, Tim, true or false no man has ever enjoyed a

family holiday? He is a funny boy. Your answer was?

I said true. I can't remember whether it was true or false. I

thought it was funny. He is a comic genius. Our first guest began her

career in Bollywood became she stars in Hollyoaks, Spooks and

Primeval and Strictly Come Dancing. You are going to laugh about that

all day. She's now on our screens as a surgeon in Holby City. You

might remember her from her days as an Earls Park FC WAG in Footballers

Wives. Oops. How funny. I hear we are

seated together. Perfect. Never mind, darling, the dress looks

completely different on me. I see what you mean. I am happy we are

sitting together. We are on the same team now. Yeah, Frank's very

excited. Conrad has been telling me all about your your wedding. Don't

you listen to what people are saying, I think you should be very

proud. Saucer of milk! Laila Rouass,

welcome to the show. Footballers Wives obviously based on real wags.

At the time that was probably Ulrika and Delalio. Why did they

get rid of it. The storylines were getting more absurd, you would read

it and think there's no chance this is going to work. It's not as

absurd as real life. That's the thing, we later learn they're up to

a lot more than we were up to. But it just got a bit much and you

think - the funny thing is within that footballers world life it

worked and it's believable. footballers started watching it and

going this is what we should do. This is what we should be doing.

are missing out here, they're having more fun. What was the most

ridiculous storyline, there were quite a few. Loads, but I think the

one that stands out is when Tanya baby-swapped, swapped my baby with

hers and because I am darker and I wanted a DNA test on hers so she

started fake tanning my baby so I would think..., it was bizarre.

did she swap babies? She was having an affair with my husband but

married to somebody else, we were pregnant at the same time and I was

convinced her baby was not my husband's so I wanted it DNA tested.

That happened! That happened at Leicester City, it did happen!

swapping babies is what you got out of that and not the fake tanning of

the child. That happened as well, at Derby County? Victoria has done

that to Harper apparently, so she would like more LA! The rumours on

the street it's going to be turned into a musical. I have heard, they

did Bad Girls and I think it would be amazing. They're doing

everything a musical, Batman. Spiderman. When are they going to

do Happy Mondays the musicals. would see that. Can you sing?

wouldn't be able to go on stage and do that. What would you sing about?

Tanning babies. Clothes. Gosh, I would love to see that. Would you

do it if you were asked? At the time you think this is bizarre, you

look back and it was such a great time. You would never get a job

like that again. The characters were OTT, shot in the summer in

amazing locations, the clothes were crazy. So, yeah, I might do but

it's hard work doing musicals. It's hard work doing Holby. Let's talk

about that, you are a something... Cardiothoracic. Cardiothoracic,

darling. My mother is terribly proud because she's always wanted

me to be a tkrpb and -- to be a doctor and this is the closest you

are ever going to get. That's what I say to my daughters, I am like

get into medicine. I am like that. It's nothing like medicine, but

obviously you are doing a lot of pretending so you have to be around

medical people sometimes? We always have a cardiothoracic doing theatre

scenes. I spent a day at the heart hospital following around one of

their top cardiothoracics. I haven't been into theatre, into a

real operation yet but I would like to. At the time, before I started

the show, I thought I am not going to be able to handle it but once

you get on set and see the blood and gore I think I would be able to

handle it. Are you squeamish? be, but doing the show toughens you

up. Medicine does look a fun job, is that the right word? It's tough.

I met an eye surgeon the other day, he fascinated me the way he pops

the eyes out. You don't meet these people and when you do you are

completely... When they do heart surgery, I am asking you like you

are an expert now. What's he going to ask me! Sometimes I go out to

buy lunch or whatever and I am in my scrubs which I am not allowed.

Cars stop, the respect you get is unbelievable. I am dreading a heart

attack or something. When you do the heart surgery don't they have

to cut through the ribcage. Yeah, you do, but not on the show.

said we! Have you got all the medical jargon down? No, it's like

another language. Sometimes a whole paragraph is just medical terms.

you ever mess it up? All the time. The great thing is doing theatre

you have the masks on so if you mess it up you can dub it. That's a

I get it. She needs to be prepped, just wait ago referral. Looking for

someone? Still here, but not for long, being discharged today. That

is if you can manage it. Morning. Have you two met? Just been

transferred, Clare. You can call her nurse Jones. You want me to

discharge her? You think I engineered this crash to push the

two of you back into each other's arms? The pack of lies you told

obviously worked. I get it, cut it out. Excellent. All yours.

Suits you the scrubs. They look comfy. You want some. I had to wear

some when my ex-wife had a C- section and you feel like George

Clooney, look at me! It's all about me, not her! Let me hold that baby.

So, you are in a movie as well. You have a new movie coming out, Conan

the Barbarian. You are his mum. am his mummy, yes I give birth to

her in the battlefield because she was a real fighter. She's in battle

and Ron who plays the father, he delivers the baby and I name the

baby Conan. It's a big screen movie. It's a big screen movie. I think

it's end of August. I watched the trailer, it looks good. A lot of

CGI stuff. A lot of CGI. Who plays Conan? Jason, this beautiful

spesman of a man -- spes man of a man. He could be your son. They're

doing a big premiere here? I am not sure. They did one in LA but I am

not sure if they're doing one here. You die early on. I die because I

give birth to him, otherwise the movie doesn't start! And there's no

Conan. We look forward to seeing that. It's fun. Not you dying.

the movie. The movie in general. Nice happy interview, about death

and operations! If you want to ask Laila a question or Calvin Harris

you can tweet or e-mail us through the website. First day with the new

teeth! It's Simon's jetlag. Remember to send in your name,

please. Time to put your thinking caps on and guess what year The

Beautiful South topped the charts with A Little Time, I love that

song and these new events that took # I need a little space just on my

#. Her supporters and opponents can agree about one thing when this

morning Mrs Thatcher announced her intention to resign it was an

historic moment, the end of an era in British politics. At least 32

people have been injured in a serious riot at Strangeways Prison,

hundreds took over the main cell block and others climbed on to the

roof. They're protesting about prison conditions. L Nelson Mandela

walked out of prison with his wife after 27 years in captivity. He

says he wants all South Africans to If only you were smart enough to

get this machine to print out this Hey! Hey, Ken, we've cracked it!

Right, Deja View time, Simon, you have not done this for a couple of

weeks, what year is this? I can't take part in this, I know the year.

I know the year from a few of the things.

Mandela, there. I think it would be good if we let

the women ruled -- rule the world. What do you think? Do you think

that we rule the world, Tim. Men? Well, we are in the power.

Obviously, we don't rule marriages, women do. You are testament to

that! But the world, Barack Obama, David Cameron, he's a man.

Interesting concept. Let's give it to the ladies, let

them have a go. They will organise it, won't they? They will get it

sorted. 86? 86? Fantastic that is as good

as the Liverpool crack. That is fantastic. Who has gotten

their photo tonne the fridge? The food was good last week.

Actually, speaking of women of the world, Angela was good. I took her

to the Anfield game. She met Stevie afterwards.

This is Alexander and Helen from Belgium. They made Angela's

meatballs. He looks very happy.

This is JJ Snely from Croydon in Surrey. He made Angela's cake but

instead of amaretto he used a Spanish sherry.

Lovely. They got married a couple of months

ago, she is already not in the pictures! Just an observation! This

is an artist, Paul Harvey. He made Angela's meatballs and Wayne's

drink. Stuckist is an international art movement against conceptual art.

Oh,? You don't understand that, do you? I don't know. Is it against

traditional art? Maybe Paul can tweet us and let us know what it

really is. OK. Is it you or me, Tim? Me! If wow

want to cook some of our dishes, send in your photos. Send us a

photo and if you want to ask some questions, go to Tweet@SFTW and you

can e-mail us at bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend.

Now, the main course. We have peace, yuing hurt, -- yoghurt, chicken,

curry powder. This is a dish I made when you have a bag of random

ingredients. It is really simple. I thought we should do this on the

thought we should do this on the show as it is so easy to do.

First things first. We have onions first. Caramelise them so they are

rich in flavour. The chicken, Tim, cut them down the middle and make

it big chunks of meat. I always believe in big chunks so they don't

break down too much. There we go with the flour, cumin, salt, pepper,

all like that. The footie starts today, Tim? The football season

does indeed start today. Who would you like to win the Shield.

I want City to win. You? I think that I want City to win. Bol ety

has become my favourite flair. You have missed his antics. What

has he been doing? Look it up on the web. The man is amazing. He is

City's Italian striker, he is extravagant, individual... Yeah,

one of the best clips to ook at is him putting on his training bib. It

is great. He tried to show boat goal, but it

didn't go in, he was taken off. Now, the flour, we are putting this

on the chicken to make it nice and crispy, and adding more flavour

with the cumin. We are going to seal off the chick no-one the hot

pan. So, get rid of all of that and we are to chop the mouli. We are

chopping it into batons. So we get the piece of mouli and you want to

cut down like that. And then simply cut it into batons

like so. Who do you think is going to win

the League, then? I have to go with Liverpool! Brilliant! He is so good.

It has to be our year soon! Now that King Kenny is back. It is

exciting. This time last year I was feeling unhappy with everything to

do with my Football Club, now there is that excitement to see around it.

You have old school management. We have young kids and Robbie back at

the club. So, are you going to win the

League? Of course we are. There is no question about it. Some of the

bookies have already paid out! they? I like your enthusiasm for

it! I think it will be an interesting season. I love it when

the footie season is back. You get the frisson.

It is so good though, Liverpool are back, Spurs are good, Arsenal is

good City are going to challenge. United are going to challenge every

year. So, where are these going? They go in with the onions. The

onions, the mouli, this is a simple, simple curry, one of the easiest we

have ever done. That That is really nice. I like that

Have I ever tried this before? Maybe when Louise was on the show?

It is a raw flavour. That would be great in salad?

Lovely. Lovely with pickley things. A big shortage of coconut in the

world. So we are struggling to get hofld coconut cream.

Why? Too much rain, the coconuts have not performed. Coconut cream

has been made a long time in advance if you can't get it

desiccated coconut is good or leave it out and add in cream.

But that goes in with the delicious mouli.

So, the onions, the mouli and the coconut.

Can you use coconut milk? Yes, you can, but the nice thing about the

cream is that it is thicker. That goes in, in goes the stock and

the curry powder. Bring it up to the boil and simmer it for about

ten to 15 minutes. That is all it is a quick-cook curry. This, as it

stands now is delicious. That is just with the co nut in it, but we

are turning it into something slightly more acidic in it.

It has split a bit. It is OK, coconut has lots of oil

in there, but we are adding delicious yoghurt into there.

Oh, that is delicious. Now, we are adding acidity into it

and peas, really for the colour as much as anything.

That is so nice. Can you give it a stir for me?

course I can. All we do is get the rice ready,

serve it with a little bit of rice on the bottom like that and simply

spoon some of this delicious curry on to the top. You can see the big

pieces of chicken o are what we want if they are too small we lose

them. Hi ladies! Hello! What was that?

know, men, food! We have turned into a sort of 60s vicar -type

programme! I am a curry freak. This is delicious.

Hmm! Really good. That is really good.

This is the one that will be on the fridge this week. That is delicious.

Now, the pomegranate in that is good. Better than a raisen! What

are we making for desert? A lemon and pistachio cake.

I am making that! That and all of the recipes are on the website at

bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend. It is the same address if you want

to e-mail questions for Laila or indeed Calvin, or you can also

tweet us at Tweet@SFTW. Now, another new series, property

guru Sarah Beeny is on hand to help people help themselves in Village

people help themselves in Village SOS.

The Brecon Beacons in Mid Wales attracts millions of people ayear.

This village, once known as the jewel of the Black Mountains, this

area has lost its shadow. It lives in the shadow of its more popular

neighbours, Hay-on-Wye and Brecon. This street was once bustling with

thriving businesses. A clothes shop and barber's were all open for

trade. There is no doubt it is a beautiful town. There are many

successful shops here, but if the tourists continue to drive through,

then Talgarth will become another ghost town, but there is a life

line. In the centre of the town there is an 18th century mill. It

was a busy hub, groinding corn from all of the local -- grinneding corn

from all of the local farms, but the mill has ground to a halt since

19of 6. It is now derelict. A group of locals think that the middle

could be spectacular. -- 1966.

Former engineer moved to Talgarth because he is inspired by the town

and what the mill could do for it. So, this is it, there will be

people sat around, enjoying beautiful food, coffee. Down at the

end of the yard at this little door there will be this magical

machinery. You can catch Village SOS with

Sarah Beeny at 8.00pm on BBC One. Our next guest is the superstar DJ

who burst on to the scenes in 1986. He has worked with the likes of

Kelis and Dizzee Rascal. He has produced three number one singles.

Weekend, Calvin Harris, I love that tune. What is that about that

video? It is about a crazy guy going crazy in Las Vegas.

I said it was Las Vegas! Is it like old town Las Vegas? Yes, I guess so.

He makes his way through the stip and does things.

So, let's talk about Las Vegas, first, how much sleep have you had?

Since when?! Since you woke up? I've been having short spells over

the past week. I have had a gig every day. One day was two gigs. In

the last three days been an hour and 50 mince.

My heart has slowed down to a rate which I am barely alive. Breathing.

And everything's just slowed down in my head. So you feel like you

are in the Matrix or something? If I was to shoot you with something

now you could... I would probably just collapse. Or go underwater, if

you slowed your heart rate right down you could take one really deep

breath. Do not try this at home children! The deep fat frier.

not. That's another show. You have been in Ibiza. Vegas and Valencia.

The Big Chill last night. How was it? Good. I was all right. Sell

yourself! It was a good festival, I enjoyed it. We get back to that

Vegas thing because you are spending time there, you have a

residency there. At the Beach Club and Excess. It's a tough life.

What's going on in Vegas, a huge dance scene out there? Suddenly

America loves dance music. They discovered it a couple of years ago

when David Gower went massive and it's huge now for DJs. Is it like

European dance music? A lot of that and a lot of American as well. It's

big. What sort of people, is Vegas like Ibiza for them. Vegas has more

resident DJs than Ibiza, that's how huge it is there. What sort of

people are going there, kids from kal foreign why and stuff --

California and stuff. I guess so, people go to Vegas, it's a holiday

destination. It's like a resort vibe. What's your favourite, Vegas,

Herefordshire. You know Vegas, everyone is going generally to have

fun. And not sleep. Do you play the same tracks in Ibiza or Vegas?

I never play the same tracks from day to day anyway. Vegas is

slightly more commercial, I guess. What's happening in the dance music

scene at the moment, is it a vibrant place to be? Do you not

know, Tim? I do, but I am just asking the questions. You raver

you! I am giving Calvin the platform. Everyone seems to like it

at the moment. It's good. Good for me, good for everyone. Everyone

likes to have fun. Brilliant. You have been touring in the US but you

have also been touring in Australia with little known singer called

Rihanna. Yeah, I did two weeks at the start of the year with her.

good was that? Great. I have been reading in the papers, she's always

hardly wearing anything. That's why I don't read the papers. Good. Is

she nice? She's great. I spoke to her three times. She's very nice.

So, from that I am going to say she's very nice. That's the way to

be. Your new single, you have decided to sing on it. This is one

of those things, sometimes you sing on your tracks, sometimes you don't.

How do you decide whether to sing or not. I don't like singing live,

I don't do that any more. I am DJing and not playing live,

sometimes you do a track and it might work. Why don't you like

singing live? Not very good at it. It's the performance aspect of

being a singer isn't really the one for me. I like mixing and I like

making the sound, rather than singing. Do you look at frontmen

now and go wow, they're a great frontman, Liam Gallagher or

somebody, you think that Guy's got it because you know how hard it is?

Yeah... Have you taken singing lessons? I was all right. I am not

going to beat myself up about it too much, I was good. I am better

at making music and DJ-ing, I am doing that instead. Just talking to

you before, when you first decided to go live, you got your record

deal, dance music now goes live and puts on a performance. What were

your thoughts, I have to put a band together, how does it work? It was

something like Faithless, they had done it for years and had been

successful, so I just made it - tried to make it like that. When

you are live how much is live and how much is backing track? Back

then, I don't know, maybe 30% backing, but it gradually increased

the more I realised that I wanted to DJ because it's hard to

replicate things like subbass live and for dance music it needs to hit

you, that's why it eventually stopped. I don't think it really

works. Let's look at your new single. And see what you are all

Brilliant. You can sing. I know I can sing, but it's just the

frontman thing. Anyway, I am DJ-ing, I am much better and I can do the

hand movements. Like that, Tim can do that. We have a gadget later

which you are going to do some... saw that. It's good. Cool. Third

album you are working on now. Working on it. Any good

collaborations? Loads. Can you tell us who? No. It's a big surprise.

Really? Who is your dream collaboration with? Um... Herbie

Hancock. Really? John Lennon. know Holly Valueence - it's in the

papers today. Is it? Don't do that to him. There it is. Says she wants

to collaborate with him. So do I. It's in it's paper, must be true.

We are collaborating on a crab salad later. That's the dream right

there! All right. Thanks, Calvin. He will be staying to cook up some

dish with us, so you can tweet or e-mail us if you have any questions

and please don't forget to put your name. Still lots to come on the

show, including cocktails, gadgets and all of this.

June Brown finds the grave of a relative in who do you think you

are? Simon's cooking crab and tofu salad.

A deadly snake in Deadly 60 On A Mission.

Laila Rouass has joined me. And Conan barbarian's mum. You have

joined us for cooking, how is your cooking these days? Not great but I

love to eat and that can be a problem when you can't cook very

well. You are Indian and Moroccan, what sort of food did you grow up

eating? Lots of Lebanese. My mum specialised, she was a cook and

special specialised in Lebanese food, so Moroccan food, couscous

and I lived in east London, a very Asian area, curries were part and

parcel. In Britain, until sort of probably ten, 15 years ago,

Lebanese food, nobody really ate a great load, now it's massively

popular. It's healthy as well. There's not much that's fried, well

some is, but you have the sort of option to bake it. It's balanced,

that lovely freshness. Fresh is what it is. It is fresh. I was

filming in Syria for two months and the food is similar to that, and

you can taste the difference, you know when it's fresh, the fish,

just the ingredients. It must be good to open up a Lebanese

restaurant because there can't be that much prep, is there? There is,

because it's lots of little bits. You don't make one bit of

everything, there's the pastry, fillings, there is a lot. You would

love it, a lot of chopping. Always your favourite. Always love a bit

of chopping, Tim. So we are going to make a cake. We are going to

make a lemon and pistachio cake, we have Vanilla, baking powder, lemons,

flour. Here we have eggs and sugar we have beaten like crazy. The

frosting is Vanilla, cream and in there we have icing sugar and

butter, which is where we are going to start. We need to do that, keep

working it and it will come together relatively quickly. You

can be vicious with it, you are butchery course? Yes, once I get a

few days or couple of weeks I am going on a course, I spent a day

with an amazing butcher, love his meats and I really got into it.

don't know Jack. He is based in Selfridges. The beef has a marble

colour to it. How do you get that? You don't eat meat though. I love

meat, I don't eat pork. What made you do that? Generally people want

to know where their food's come from. How far do you go, do you get

a whole animal? When I was at Jack I did a rack of lamb, learned how

to cut up the carcass. Did you enjoy it? Loved it. I can't wait to

do it. You would like it as well. There's something really exciting

about learning how an animal is put together. Yeah. Learning how to

kind close to the bone to fillet things and where to cut through the

bone so you are getting the good cuts. It's exciting to do. Yeah and

you are learning so much. I am going to add a dash of cream in

there. You can really work that now. Have you ever done a butchery -

could you do it? Bits and Bobs. I could find my way around a beast.

When you see good butchery it's incredible. What about fish

filleting, are you an expert? do it, I think again I would hate

to say I am an expert, when you see people who spend their entire

life... The sushi guys, the art they go into is unbelievable.

a dying art. The way in which they do it and they have - it's one of

the big things with butchery is that consistency, if you are going

to cut a load of steaks you want to make sure they're perfect, all the

same. That's the frosting done, this will go into the bag for later.

If it seems it's too sloppy, you can either add more icing sugar or

pop this into the fridge for a while and it will stiffen up, but

not too long. This is butter and icing sugar and Vanilla. And cream

to soften it, you don't necessarily need to have that. That's nice,

have a taste of that. Dip your finger in, you are allowed we are

not going to use that bowl. The cake, in here we have the eggs and

sugar. We whisk and whisk and add a little bit of Vanilla in there.

like these machines, they're good. Great. Why do it by hand when you

can do this. Zest one of those lemons. And chuck the zest in there

and equally, we will then cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice

in there as well. This has been going for a good five six minutes.

Prior to this? Prior to this. You want a huge volume, so it's really

quite delicious. What's in there? Eggs and sugar, that's all that's

happened, it's nice and big and vanilla as well. Beautiful. That

goes in and the juice out of that that as well. This is what is

called a hot milk cake. This is an American technique. What happens

from this point with this still running, just turn it down a little.

Here we have milk and butter brought to scalding point, just

below boiling. Pour that in gently and it will start to bring it all

together. Why have you stood back? What's the purpose of this? Now we

have warmth in there so starting to begin to gently cook out the eggs,

we have volume and fat in there. We are getting a really delicious

volominous cake. What would be the difference with cold milk? It would

still work but the heat changes the chemical composition. The fats are

coming together so the fats combine with the eggs and sugar and create

a chemical reaction that's keeping that volume volume there. It's all

science. It's all about the science. Desserts are science. Then what we

do is drain this fella off. This is a nice wet mix at the moment. Then

you dip in all of that flour and our baking powder and quickly

combine it. This is the time now as soon as it's come together then you

stop. Pistachios go in as well. That already looks yum. Delicious.

It's a really nice mix. It will be quite heavy batter, but it smells

delicious as well. There's something about warming the milk

What is the difference between a dense cake and a lighter cake?

you want a light cake, what you do is have lots of things like oil

that you whisk. It is about whisking. You need volume, so the

bigger the volume, the lighter it will be.

So all of that goes in like that and we cook this fella out for

about 50 minutes until it is done in the middle. Lovely. Now, this is

the cake that we have. This is where it gets to be Generation Game,

Laila. Are you right-handed or left-handed? Right.

So put your hand like that. That is beautiful. What we are going to do

is we want you to go round in a circle.

Oh, God. Beautiful, a steady hand.

You clearly didn't go out last night? No, I didn't.

Just keep going around. Do you ever make deserts? No. I'm

not very good with all of this stuff.

What we have to do now is keep the tension... I'm going to change your

bag for you. As they say in Holby City! Obviously you want to cover

the top of this. To garnish this we have lots of lovely fruit in it.

What about that bit there? We are going to fill it with fruit. We

have slightly thick lines on there. So you are looking for all of that

in there. Then the final touch is candid lemon peel on there.

My daughter would love that So, let's cut slices for everybody.

For you, chef. Very civilised.

For you, Calvin. Good manners ruins good food, go

for it! So, you get the lovely pistachio in there.

It is quite bready, isn't it. Yes, good description. Sorry it is

a little bit dry to do a link with of the

Coming up, Wayne Collins's summer ginnita and Calvin is cooking our

final dish. What is that, Simon? We are doing a

crab and tofu salad. Time to head down memory lain, can you guess the

year that this all happened in Deja View.

View. # I built of time to think it over.

# When this morning Margaret Thatcher announced her intention to

resign, it was an historic moment, the end of an era in British

politics. A series of riots in Strangeways

Prison. They are protesting about prison conditions. Nelson Mandela

walked out of the prison near Cape Town hand in hand with his wife,

Winnie after 27 years in captivity. Nelson Mandela wands all for

instance to be united in a non- racial society.

# You had a little time, you had a little fun

# Didn't you, didn't you. # Laura, I hope he make as move soon, I'm

starving. Guess what I'm looking at? What?

Bacon and poached eggs. Poached egg? Yep.

And mushrooms. Oh, mushrooms! I hate you! That was

The Beautiful South with A Little Time. Amanda, Wayne, can you guess

the year? I am always rubbish at this. I think it was 1990s it was

the year that I left school and the year that Margaret Thatcher

resigned. Really, I just started my secondary

school that year! I am going late 80s.

All will be revealed later. Right, you are making two cocktails

for us? Yes, they are very cooling. We are using a Margarita.

We are also have a sorberita. What is the difference?

different sorbets. So, we have tequila and mango

sorbet. We are giving it a good shake with some ice.

Waste not want not! Did you get your tequila there? Give it a good

shake to break it down. Really get in. Therethe sorbet has a sweetness

and fluffiness as well. It is wonderful.

I love the explanations, the fluffiness of the sorbet! It is

amazing. With have our Mexican Sombrero.

It is jupsidedown, the hat! It will be when I have finished with it!

There it is, a nice piece of fresh mango on the side, a sorbrita!

have I straw s? You can have. Just to keep it a little

sophisticated! That is gorgeous. Really, really good. That just does

not taste like an alcoholic drink. That is why it would be dangerous

for me. It is lovely, mate.

This is a cracker. I have lemon juice and eldelder flower cordial.

It is a summer ginnita. What is it with all of the

ginnitas? It is with the summer. We have gin, apple vodka, lemon

elder flower and half a litre of freshly pressed watermelon juice.

You put this together. Make sure it is well mixed.

Run through the ingredients again? Two shots of lemon juice. Six shots

of gin, six shots of apple vodka and the elder flower and the

watermelon juice. You put it in the freezer and keep

forking it up. Then you tpwet this lovely grainy texture.

This is the granita. I thought that granita was more of

a food rather than a drink? It is, you get different combinations, in

America they call them snow cones, shaved ice with fruit juice on them.

Very popular in California and upstate New York.

But you wouldn't give these ones to children! Yes! Once you get the

texture, they can keep in the freerz for days.

Wayne, you are an Arsenal fan, what is your prediction for the title?

It is a tough one. That is delicious! I love that!

That is amazing. That is a cracker for a dinner party! The football

season started yesterday, before I get complaints! That is brilliant.

If you want to make these refreshing frosen cocktails. --

frozen cocktails. Because it is frozen, you don't

have alcohol in there anymore! Now, 84 years old, Dot Cotton, is with

us now on a journey that takes us through Germany, Holland and Spain

in Who Do You Think You Are? Would you would like to leave me alone

for a moment? Of course, I understand.

Thank you. Rachel, dear great, great, great-grandmother. I have

come to visit you, that you never expected. I'm going to show you

what happened to your only living child when you died. Well this is

he, and he became famous. He was a champion bare knuckle fighter. So

you would have been very proud of him. So where is the sun? There. I

have a flower for you from him. Wherever the sun goes, that face

will track it. So your sun will be beside the sun. This I will place

in front. I don't suppose it will be there for long. According to the

Jewish custom I have a stone which, believe it or not, it has a little

face on it, I'm sure that you were prettier, but there she is. That is

for you. And you can see Who Do You Think

You Are on BBC One on Wednesday at 9.00pm in eving with Dot Cotton.

Lucy is here with the gadgets. Yes, it is all about the Apple. The

rumour mills is -- rumour mill is churning. We thought we were going

to get it in December, but it turns out it is coming out in October.

It came out a year ago? I know you are a massive fan. I am hugely

excited. I think that they are all great.

We have three things here now, what do you want to show first? This is

a Burg 5 Watch Phone. It is a cool watch phone it you deep-seated

desires to fulfil any Dick Tracy stuff, this is the watch for you.

The idea is if you don't want to take out your phone, this is the

one for you. You can stick the SIM card in

there? Absolutely. You can make and receive phone calls it has a built

in microphone and speaker, so you can talk in it spy-like. This is a

wire that is a dead kaithed head set. It is not a blue chip but it

is very, very afortable. -- dedicated.

You can talk into it and listen without it? Yes.

It flashes blue with a yellow signal. Usually it speaks the

number, but we are live on TV, so you don't want to do that.

Why? Frpbltsz because some people are crazy, they start to -- Because

they are -- some people are crazy. They call you and make you mad with

text messages. We have some of the girls giving it

their best shot, this is Something For The Weekend's amateur dramatics

society! So you can talk and listen. Can it take all sim cards, from the

smartphones as well? Yes, all of that

Really? That is interesting. How much are those? �100. It comes in

five different colours. What is next. This is the Casio

Exilim Tryx. It does have a little trick up its sleeve. It is attached

on the frame. There is an LCD screen that sits in the frame. You

can push it out, flick it out. Take all different styles of photographs.

You can hang it out like that. It works you can make it a tripod.

You can give it a cam corder-like grip when you are shooting video.

It is fully touch screen operational.

So it goes all the way around. You can rotate the screen it has a

twisting body. Thereit is very clever. We saw this in January in

Las Vegas it really was the star of the show in terms of digital

cameras. It injects a bit of fun into the digital camera. It is 12.5

million megapixels. It has Panorama mode. This is the HDR shot. Sorry,

that is not the Panorama. That is HDR, that stands for high dynamic

range. Where is this taken? Putney. Look

at that isn't Britain a wonderful place.

That is what HDR does. It takes a lot of photos with the different

exposure levels that will give you a realistic shot that the eye can

see. That is the Panorama shot. All you

do is pan slowly with the camera and it sticks together with the

shoot. The other feature was the built in

art feature. That is really cool. How much is this? That which set

you back �250. It is not cheap.

Calvin. We have something for you, a gadget

for you. for people who don't know anything

about DJing, to people who know everything about DJing, it's

affordable and lightweight. You have the decks and central mix deck

here. You have fader and you can mix your own aoeu tunes library.

It's great for anybody. What's going on! Vegas! It's got automix

mode, so if you know absolutely nothing you can set that to go and

it will automatically mix your music or like what Calvin is doing

you can get hands on and mix your own tunes. Just get hands on!

and then just do it. You are making it look really easy. I tried at the

weekend and I wasn't really good. He is going off over there making

his salad. You have loads of controls that allow you to give you

that professional DJ style. You can control your itunes library based

on the central button. It will sy, this y tracks for you. Do you like

it? It is fun. How much is that? �80. All right. It's all right.

Cheers guys. Here's a preview of another new BBC series where they

hunt down the deadliest creatures in the rainforest. It's Deadly 60

Constriking basically means to strangle, to suffocate the life out

of prey and that's how this magnificent animal manages to kill

the mammals it's feeding on. The tail is going around the back of my

neck now. It's finding play places and ways of getting to use its

strong muscles in choking me. I can show you this before I have to

release myself. The amazing thing that happens next is that the the -

- the boa constrictor will swallow its prey whole. This This open this

mouth incredibly wide to do that. Are you all right Steve! Actually,

yeah, yeah, it's amazing how strong it is. I mean, this snake is only

actually feeding on mammals about that sort of size maximum, and it

has the strength to choke the life out of me, I mean, I must be ten

times, 20 times the size of its normal prey and it easily has

enough strength to choke me. There's no doubting this is an

incredibly strong predator. I don't know, I think it's going to be very

hard to beat. Can I take this off now, please?

at 6:00pm on BBC1. Calvin Harris is in the house, in the... Yeah.

would you do that? I don't know. Even for a television show, yeah

pretty much. True. How is your cooking skills? As good as your DJ

skills? I am terrible. I am good at eating. This is your third time on,

Calvin. I eat at least once a day. So you have no excuse. Can I ask a

question about tofu. Someone told me it was a fungus, made of

mushrooms and disgusting fungus. Isn't it soy. It's fermented soy

beans. I want to establish what it is. Look at it, it's weird. We are

going to use it in the salad. This is the tofu, it's a block. We have

cucumber, celery, noodles, soaked in hot water. Tomato, crab meat,

coriander and fish sauce, garlic and palm sugar for dressing. First,

we fry off the tofu, cut this into cubes like that and we just cook it

off. This is being used for texture, not for flavour at all because the

crab, we all know what the texture of crab is and the tofu will give

us a little bit of silky texture in there. It doesn't have a great deal

of taste but it takes on flavours really well. Make sure you pat it

as dry as it can before it goes in the hot fat or it will spit over

the place and it will be embarrassing having scars on your

face. Not a good look for a sexy DJ. Calvin is not a cook but apparently

are you DJing now? I am doing my first night at the end of September.

Any tips for him? There's a great organisation near where I live and

it's designed for old people like me with kids, so you basically what

happens is people have a babysiter so you go and do your stuff and

they invite people to be a guest DJ and they've invited me. I need tips.

Advice? Kids love dub step. No kids, it's all adults. I need to fill the

floor all the time, or is slowies wrong? Buy my album, buy my album!

And it's great to cook to. I have seen people cook to my album and

they make amazing meals. Nice. quicker than usual. That's good to

know. That's tremendous advice, thanks you have settled my nerves

on that one. Now listen, we need to do some work. The dressing, I need

you to grate the garlic in there and chuck in the vinegar and fish

sauce and dry and grate that. I will chop things. I want to ask

Calvin, we have lots of tweets for you today. Careful, can you not

speak and grate at the same time? Sorry, I am messing around. We have

a tweet in from a canine rescue centre in Dumfries. You are from

there. They've rescued two dogs and they've named them Calvin and

Harris. I saw that this week. They look like good little dogs. Calvin

is nervous at the moment but likes human affection, would you say

that's like you? Right now, yeah. Harris is a large mongrel anxiousen

to arrival but he is coming out of his shell, mixes well with the

other dogs. Great. Nice. Good luck to them. That's good. It's nice

when you come on the show you get to answer questions you never have.

I want to talk to you about songwriting, I have always been a

country and western fan. One of the greatest piece of songwriting, not

as good as the hit from the 70s where they rhymed first verse and

chorus, a band called Ras kal Flats, with a great song Country Girl

Shake It, they managed to rhyme squirrel and girl because of the

way they sing, that's genius. I like that. I like that as well.

Shall I whisk this? Yes, please. That's vinegar and fish cause and

sugar -- sauce and sugar and garlic. I have chopped celery and cucumber

and now I am going to slice a little bit of tomato in there, that

will give us freshness. This is about fresh flavours that come

together beautifully. Smells fresh. It's working then. Thank goodness

for that. It's working. We add half the crab meat in there and I am

going to chop a little bit of coriander. A tweet here from

Calvert Churchill, great name. Calvin, where and when was your

first set and what music did you play? First DJ set, I think it was

in Belfast. Really? Yeah, I played quite an an interesting selection.

Probably never play them again, no, it was good. Didn't you start out

as a 15-year-old with a machine in the basement or something? In my

bedroom, much more conventional to do that sort of thing, yeah. I have

been doing it for a while, just sitting in my room with my own

company making tracks. Now you are with Rihanna off in Australia.

know. Where did it all go wrong, Calvin. It's going to start for me

now, now I am starting DJing, in a little while I will be on the other

side of the sofa. If you play my album, it will. We add a load of

this dressing and then I am looking for you to do that kind of movement,

mix it together. Trying to get the crab to coat all of the noodles.

You are enjoying that a little too much, Calvin. It feels great.

Really nice. Cooking is good. This is inspiring for for writing music.

It's a great temperature. So we are done. To serve, give me that, young

man. Not sure I want to eat that! These are crispy shallots, they

give depth of flavour and crispiness. A handful of this

lovely salad. Spoon that on there. I washed my hands by the way.

That's good! More dressing. Amanda, we are done. Lovely. Let's go over

to Tim and Laila for the Deja View. What was the year? The year was

I can't believe you like country and western, the both? Yeah, I love

them both. An e-mail here from Sue Lloyd, are you still planning a

film on Leila Khaled? I am. Explain who she is. She was a Palestinian

revolutionary fighter in the 50s, 60s. Amazing life and with the

climate as well... She hijacked a plane. Yes. So she is a bad person.

That's the thing, it's a real personal story. If you are on the

plane she's a bad person. stopped here, it had to make a

landing here and she was arrested here and spent 19 days in custody.

You are trying to write this or get it made? It's being written, but we

have funding for it. It's set in the 60s. You will be playing her?

No, I am just producing. I am too old to be playing her, she was 23

or something at the time. You could pass for 23. OK I will play her her

then! How is that? It's good. I am getting a bit there, I like both

those things. I am excited about your DJ-ing. I am excited. Are you

going to come up for the night, Tim? Only if you are playing his

album. I think it's September 30th. It's my nan's birthday. Shame!

That's it for this week. Thank you to Amanda for stepping in, you are

back next week. Thank you to Laila Rouass and Calvin Harris. Next week
