15/01/2012 Something for the Weekend

Morning. Joining us today with a few tricks up their sleeves from

BBC One's the Magicians, it is Darren McMullen and Pete Firman.

Petrolhead Charley Boorman is here. They are here for cooking,

cocktails, chat and to take a look at the best of next week's telly.

Welcome to Something For The Weekend. It is Sunday 15th January.

You have one of the best days of your life yesterday. The best day

ever! You went to Stamford Bridge. I did. I went to see Chelsea.

home of football to witness Chelsea... According to Chelsea

fans! Chelsea win, beating... What did you think of the match? Well, I

- it's been a while since I have been to a match. I used to support

Manchester United. This is getting worse! It's been years since I have

been, apart from Boca in Argentina. It wasn't like the atmosphere there.

It isn't. Did they give you a plastic flag to wave? I had one of

those party hats on. Nice to go to a stadium where they have won the

Premier League! Unlike Anfield! LAUGHTER Here we go! What did you

think? Who should have won? Erm... Sunderland were good at the end.

Torres scored a good goal! didn't score! LAUGHTER Torres

scoring a goal, you don't hear that! Do you have a team? I don't.

We need to sort that. So, we have got all the teams in the league and

you will pick one later. I will pick a team to support. It is the

Golden Globes... Tonight. Best Motion Picture, The Descendants,

the Eyes of March, War Horse, The Help. What do you think? I have

only seen The Help. I have seen Hugo and Moneyball. I would go

Moneyball. It is a bit sexist. They split the actors - male and female.

Are we going to go there? I'm all for feminism! LAUGHTER I knew you

were in touch with your feminine side! LAUGHTER We have Darren and

Pete from the Magicians who put Julia Bradbury through a fan.

think you can go all the way through! Ready? One, two, three!

Pull yourself. How about that?! That was a bit of magic. You are

not going to do it to me? I just happened to find this! A red

handkerchief. Have you seen that? Is that for the smallest bull in

the world?! I'm going to stick this in here. AS PAUL DANIELS: I'm going

to say the magic words! IT'S GONE, LOOK! OH MY GOD! That's good, for

you! You do like a bit of magic. Has it not come back?! No! Give me

30 seconds! LAUGHTER Don't have the camera on me! Charley Boorman is

here to tell us about his Extreme Frontiers. If you have a question

you want to put to Darren, Pete or Charley, e-mail us via the website

- bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend or Tweet @SFTW. You are rubbish!

Simon, what are you cooking today? We will start with flash-fried

salmon with celeriac cakes and a dill sauce. Main course is dukkah

lamb cutlets with quinoa salad. Dukkah is a lovely Egyptian spice

mix. We are rubbing that on the lamb. Cooking the lamb. And a

lovely fresh quinoa salad. Quinoa is my favourite. I knew you would

say that! It is a pure protein. That is why I picked it! Dessert is

- this is what everyone will make this week - dark chocolate and

bacon cupcakes. I know it sounds weird, but it works. We have some

chocolate, bacon chocolate. We all have that salty caramel thing. So,

if you move that on, you get... were saying in America... It is

like a bacon chocolate sarnie. There is a lot of sea salt and

chilli powder. That is really good. I do quite like it. I like that.

Lovely. It is that pancake and bacon thing. Reminds me when we eat

those chocolate-coated bugs! Yes. When is the last time you had a

chocolate-coated bug? A few months ago. On the show we do! Yeah. I

must have missed that one. We don't want peanuts today! Finally, today,

we've got aubergine and red lentil moussaka, which is delicious.

to our website - bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend to

follow all of those recipes. Now, here is what else is on today's

show. A young condor learns to fly with help from her parents in

Earthflight. Her mother makes the choice for her. Holmes doesn't like

the unwanted attention in Sherlock. You are this far from famous!

has trouble with the self-checkout machine in The One Griff Rhys Jones.

Unexpected item in bagging area. All of that and cocktails with

Wayne later on. What have you got for us today? We know you are

missing South America, so we will bring a bit of South America back

to you. We have really great drinks. Two classics. I remember it well.

Are you missing it? I am. You are? I love South America! I had a week

in Rio with my friend and... It was one of the best weeks of my life!

What were you drinking? I was drinking caipirinhas! Who am I

supporting? We should stall it. Let's carry on with the food and do

Let's carry on with the food and do it half-way through. Fine. We have

salmon, egg, onion, flour. Grated celeriac, then a simple dressing.

We have mustard, cider vinegar, dill, sugar, garlic and olive oil.

So, the celeriac we have grated. We need to... This has gone a bit

moist. What I want you to do is pop all the celeriac and squeeze out as

much moisture as you can. Are you still detoxing? I'm not. Good.

I'm making polite conversation! thought you were going to make me

eat something! If it is quiet, it is disappointing this show if we

don't talk! LAUGHTER There might be a bit of silence after I pick my

football team. Let's do it! squeezing celeriac, Tim! Squeeze

that. Tim, slice that in half and finely slice it. This way? Yeah.

What about your hands, come on! Don't let your standards drop!

I'm at an angle here! Because I have my elbow in your face!

want to do this so that when we try the cakes, because the mix is dry

they will cook very quickly. If they are too wet, they can go soggy.

Great work. Loving it. Is that enough? Fine. Tim, that can go into

the bowl together with the celeriac and just sprinkle on top - tip that

in there. Tim, tip your onions in there. Let's have some salt and

pepper. Then break the egg into there and sprinkle the flour on and

before you start mibgtsing it... Nicely done! -- mixing it... Nicely

done! A high sprinkle! Before you start mixing it, let's do football

now. You are going to pick a team. There might be dirt on my hands.

She used to support Manchester United because of an ex-boyfriend.

Now she doesn't have a team. She wants to buy a season ticket and go

every week home and away... Really?! This is for real? This is

for real. She is getting the tattoo. She will buy a player if it is a

lower league team! Ready? Yes. on, the nation waits! I'm nervous

now. We put Real Madrid and Barcelona in there as well!

have we got? I don't know who they are. Gillingham! Gillingham in Kent.

They are the only team in Kent. They are. It's a pretty name,

Gillingham. What colour do they wear? You can go week in, week out

to Gillingham home and away. Can we find out what fixtures they have

coming out, please? Can people tweet in what the chants are, who

the players are. Anything I need to know.

# We are by far # The greatest team

# The world has ever seen! # Start mixing that together.

exciting! They are not called the Gills. They are called the... It's

now really annoying me. Where are they in the league? Are they doing

all right? Can we get facts and figures on how they have done?

only thing I know about them is that Stoke's manager used to be

their manager and Stoke beat them in the FA Cup third round last

weekend. That is the only thing I can tell you about them. There was

a great Dutch player called Cruyff and he used to play for them for a

while. Is he still there?! LAUGHTER Somebody help me! We have egg,

flour, celeriac in there. Lovely. Press these down. The egg will set

them. Didn't Eusebeo have a run-out for Gillingham? He came over...

Ronaldo... He didn't play for them. But Rivaldo did! Pele played a

couple of times for them. He never played. Did he not, after he came

back from Cosmos?! The salmon - that's fine. We will cook this on

one side so we have a little bit of oil on there... Are we

overrunning?! LAUGHTER Only by... Who wants to see a magic trick?!

Only by an hour! We sprinkle that. Tim, cut that into three equal

slices and I... This way? Yeah. Right through the skin so you will

have to be hard with the final push. Amanda, what I need you to do - we

chop a bit of dill. Nice and fine. Yes. He is laughing at himself

right now! What we will do, a touch of oil - I don't want that in

there! Get out of there! There will be two people laughing in the

country! We will cook this on one side only. Pop them down into the

pan - doesn't matter. I don't mind. I want you to be happy. Lovely.

Beautiful. We let this cook for 30 seconds. In the meantime, what

happens with our celeriac cake - flip that over - beautiful. The egg

begins to set and it holds them together. We chop the dill. The

Dijon mustard, the sugar, the vinegar. I will chop you a little

bit of garlic. Is this a fax about my new team? No, two facts!

Yesterday, you lost 2-0. Come on! Next Saturday, you have got - it's

cool, you can go to it. You are playing FC Wimbledon next Saturday.

Home or away? I don't know! Oh! worst facts in the world.

meanwhile, we have cooked this for 30 seconds on one side. We take

this out. It is raw on that side. The residual heat will cook the

rest of it. We get this combination of the crispiness on that side and

the raw on that side. So, give that a bit of a whisk. I shall put in

oil as you do. We will make a simple dill-mustard-garlic cider

vinegar dressing. Keep going. is my technique? Beautiful.

Beautiful. We have almost done this on time(!) Whisk! Go on! Do it for

Gillingham! Come on, boys! You boys in whatever colour you are in!

LAUGHTER I don't know. There we go. That will do us. What we do to

assemble this fella. Here is our celeriac cake. Let's have a couple

of bits of watercress there. We sit our celeriac cake which is now set

with the egg and with the flour on to there, like that. Our delicious

pieces of half-cooked, half-raw salmon - one, two, three. Bizarre,

half-cooked... When you eat it, you get a lovely combination. It is a

weird thing of... I don't mind raw and cooked, but the combination...

It is called the best of both worlds! Open your mind. Some lemon

If you were going to be massively healthy, you could lightly poach

the salmon. You get the crisp crispiness and the salmon

underneath. You have outdone yourself, Simon.

What are you doing next? Egyptian spiced lamb.

You can follow our recipes at bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend.

Now for a bird's eye view of South America take in the Andes, here we

see a young chick being taught by his not so patient parents. This is

his not so patient parents. This is Earthflight.

At Six months old, their youngster is ready to fly. She just needs

some gentle encouragement. Flight school begins with her father

She isn't keen to follow. It is hardly surprising, throwing

yourself into a 200 meter drop Her mother makes the choice for her.

She is in flight, but still getting the hang of it and heads straight

Dad encourages her to try again. She has another go, but it is

hardly any better. Finally, she gets the idea.

She is looking more confident and Her father joins the new air cadet

and they fly together in perfect And you can see the hole of

Earthflight on Thursday evening, BBC One, at 8pm.

Now, bringing a little bit of magic to the proceedings this morning and

perhaps explaining how they do it... Oh yes!

Although you know the tricks already, don't you Trim.

-- Tim. We have Pete and Darren from The

Magicians. Here is the type of CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice outfit! It was more impressive than the

trick, was how good you looked in that outfit.

How is the show going? How is the magic going? Yeah, it has been a

lot of fun. We are alive and there is a real

element of jeopardy. It feels like an event each of the shows.

Can they really go wrong? They can seriously go wrong.

We have had a couple. Like what? Unless you picked them

up, I don't want to draw attention to them. Traditionally in the past,

there has been some issues, tigers eating people in the audience and

things like that. Who was the last to do it live,

Paul Danielles. -- Daniels. He is like you, funny

and magic magic at the same time and that's his show.

He is like me, you just made my Sunday.

Did you get your inspiration from Paul Daniels.

I used to watch him on a Saturday. And you are a comedian as well?

Part comedy, part magic. Why has magic become more

fashionable. It went through a stage with Cooperfield and it went

do big it kind of died? I think it comes around again and it has a

place on BBC One on Saturday night. Our show has real wow-factor. The

skill to the illusions. It is spectacular. It is all shiny. I

think it is perfect. For people our age it brings us

back to our childhood age of watching Paul Daniels and I have

nieces and nef nephews and they adore it because they have never

seen magic on television, they grew up with X Factor and talent shows.

Did you watch Paul Daniels, you are Scottish and grew up in Australia?

I grew up here and moved to Australia when I was a teenager and

ever since then I have been giving the Gypsy-lifestyle.

You are big in Australia as a presenter and you are big in

America as a presenter. How did you manage to come over here? Pick a

country, Darren. I kind of did it back to front. I have been working

in America for sometime and you have as well and we discussed this

off camera, it is great to come back to people understand our

reverence and scarism and they don't get that in America. Britain

is my home and it is good to be back here.

You are filling Lenny Henry's shoes. Huge shoes.

Yeah, which was daunting as well in itself because I grew up watching

Lenny whentry. He is a legend in the UK and to follow that and to

have to do it live, and it is on BBC One and it is great.

You are still working in Australia? As soon as I finish here, I get a

day off. My final show is on my 30th, a big party that night and a

day to recover and then off to Australia to host The Voice.

You were on the last series? How did it go? For those of you who

don't know the premise. You explain Each week there is myself and a

double act called Barry and Stuart and we get celebrity guests and we

train them up and each week we do live tricks and pre-recorded stuff

on location, some big stunts and the audience at home get to vote

for who is their favourite and the person with the lowest number of

votes has to do a horrible forefit at the end of the show.

You came last week last week or the week before.

Yes, thanks for mentioning that again!

Everyone keeps bringing that up. It is It is all right, because I

lost when I did mine. What did you have to do? The truth

is the celebrity doesn't know what the forefit is going to be until

the second the host tells them and I didn't know and I was petrified.

I got an inkling when I got a call to ask if I had implants. I had to

lie on a bed of nails and be driven over by a motorbike. This guy revs,

the motorbike so hard. Were you nervous? I was petrified.

There is no magic involved in the forefit at all.

Bravery, think, bravery. Stupidity. It is likely that something won't

go wrong? Well, you don't know. The Magicians and myself rehearsed

the forefit because we have to guide the celebrity through it and

last week I burnt my mouth. We had to swallow fire.

A wardrobe of furious. So things can can go wrong? Yes, I

thought the Hoff was going to slice his toes off. He was terrified.

We were running at and I'm getting screamed at, "Hurry it up." He

couldn't get up it. The poor guy, he is such a big guy as well.

LAUGHTER You

You know

You know when

You know when he

You know when he is acting. I can't get you on here without

doing a trick. I was watching the the hanky chief

thing. Amanda select a card.

A good assistant. Show it to the camera. Have you got

the card up and you won't forget it. A good card that one!

Do me a favour, just pop it back. I'm going to put it into the centre

of the pack. Now you remember what your card was.

Yes. Between the two of us, we'll

remember. I'm going to snap my fingers. You

saw the first, you saw the back, what colour was it? Blue.

If I spread through, weirdly there is a card in the middle that's got

a red back. Now, what was the name of the card that you selected?

was the the spif of spade -- five of spades.

Did it have a red back before. As I run through, you say, "Stop.".

Have a look at it. OK. Same deal. Just a snappy, snap. One One card

changes colour in the middle! LAUGHTER

What was it? What was your card? Two of clubs.

Now watch. Yes!

Take that. OMG.

Is it harder doing magic now because people can go on to the

internet? The internet is tough for magic, I think, you know, I don't

know. I don't think it had a massive impact. I think people like

to be amazed. I go, "Right, how do they do it?".

I was disillusioned last year year when I did it... Because you fin

out the trick? You find out the trick and I didn't want to.

The magicians are better this year! I will pay you later.

Darren and Peter are staying with us all morning. Make sure you get

your questions in for them and Charley Boorman.

It is the handkerchief. Now can you Guess the Year when

when these stories hit the # Why does it feel so good good

There were celebrations all over the UK to mark the 100th birthday

of the Queen Mother. Madonna and Guy Ritchie will tie the knot and

the international media is gathered by the hundred.

The former Conservative Cabinet Minister, Jonathan Aitken has been

released from prison in Kent. For the next two months he will have to

wear an electronic tag and observe When I gave Bob the OK to propose

to to Deb, I put him in touch with my guy in the City. Kevin was Pam's

fiance. How do you work these out? I work

them out in deck decades. I think them out in deck decades. I think

that's a decade ago? Yeah. Where are we now? 2002, I'm going 1999.

It was. It was because The Queen was 100 in the year 99, I'm making

that up. I will go a year earlier, I will go 98. It might be a bit

thought we were going to see a picture of you? At the end! Your

challenge is to guess where people are from. First one is Matt Skey

and Hazel Dodson. LA, New York or Miami. Maybe not. Here are your

clues. Dialling code - 01322... Shrewsbury? No. The town's football

club scored a hat-trick yesterday and Mick Jagger was born there.

What did they say? Dartford. Next one - the lovely Steven. He did the

pork and the bacon. Straight guess? Norwich? Not even close. Built on

the River Dee. Don't test me with these! Oldest racecourse in the

country? You will get it off the last one, Hollyoaks is filmed

there? Chester. Cultural high point! LAUGHTER Finally, this is a

beautiful picture... Next week I'm auditioning for The Only Way Is

Essex! This is Hilary on a yacht. Look at that kitchen! This is a

continental town? Paris. Right country. Oh. It is one of Europe's

largest harbours known as the billionaires' quay? Monaco. No. So,

the big reveal - you asked me for a picture of me with hair. Picture

one. LAUGHTER Check that out! is amazing. That is in my nan's

house on Christmas Day. A lot of hair! How old would you have been

there? 22 there, I think. Ten years ago? Exactly. That is amazing. Can

we have another one next week? will. My mum has given me a load of

pictures! I like that one. You are better without hair. Yeah. I kind o

of - to be honest, if I could -- I kind of -- to be honest, if I could

get back to the long flowing hair, I would have done it. It looks like

you would have broken a lot of hearts back then? That's me!

LAUGHTER We will make lamb with dukkah spice rub and a quinoa salad.

We have some lamb that's bubbling away in the pan there. You can do

this raw. For our spice mix, we have fennel seeds, cumin seeds,

coriander seeds and cloves, honey, lemon, chilli flakes, paprika,

turmeric, sesame seeds, pistachio, and quinoa for the salad, pepper,

cucumber, olive oil, lemon, mint, parsley, onion. Why do you hate

couscous? I don't know. I don't think it absorbs flavours in the

same way that quinoa will. What is this? It's a pure grain. Doesn't

taste of anything. It takes flavours on. We have toasted off

our hard seeds so you release the flavour. Pop those into there and

grind them down until they are nice and smooth. The way you do this -

put them into a cold pan, let it cook quite slowly - press down -

and what will happen is it is a low heat and they will start to smell

quite delicious. Once that happens, that is good. From there - how

smooth are they? That should do you. How does it work?! Tip that in

there. There's still a few bits in there. That's fine. You want it to

be and that smells delicious. Then we tip in all of that. Again, we

have the sesame seeds, the chilli, turmeric. Where is this from?

At this point, you will quite often find that this will be used as a

condiment on the table. So if you get a delicious grilled meet, you

would sprinkle that on. We will do something different... What is this

called? Dukkah. Squeeze in the orange juice. That is your basic.

Then what we do, we add a bit of orange juice into there and we add

a little bit of olive oil, so now you are getting the fruitiness in

there. You have the hard spices and then we bring it to life with all

of this fruit. Give that a stir around. Then we will add a little

bit of honey into there. Now we have got some delicious sweetness.

We hold some of that back for later on. A touch more olive oil.

smells so strange. It does. orange with the spices. That is

what is quite nice. When you taste it, it is quite delicious. What...

It is smelling like mulled wine. Yes. The cloves are in there, you

have coriander seeds, so you have that lovely Christmassy flavour.

What is a nice thing to do - if the lamb chops were raw, I would press

them on to there and slowly fry them in a pan. So we have enough

time to do it, all we are going to do, we have cooked off the lamb, so

we are going to pop that into there and then just give it a little bit

of a press on. Like that. Then you have the nice stickiness of the

honey. You could do these as ordinary cooked lamb chops and then

simply add that on top. We... you not stick them in the oven now?

You could. We want to show how open this is. You could grill them as

well. Could you make a crust? could. If you ground down the

pistachios and the hazelnuts, that would be a nice thing to do. I'm

going to turn the heat off. You would do this from raw. We will get

the slight chewiness. You have talked, Tim, about how this is

quite a deep flavour, it smells like it is mulled wine. We want to

lift it again with a bit of orange, so we do the quinoa salad. Dice a

bit of that, a bit of that, I will do the cucumber and away we go.

This will give us lovely freshness. This is your kind of food. It's got

nice fresh flavours in it. You don't like a lot of flavours?

don't know. I like it because it is fresh. It is a good mix of flavours.

This is about now getting a good balance. This is almost like the

salad. It used to be a health thing. Now the supermarkets are getting on

to it. We just want this to be a really simple fresh salad. That

goes in. I will chop a bit of mint and parsley, which will give us the

really nice flavour of the mint, plus then the grassiness of the

parsley. I will turn these fellas over again. That's been cooked more

or less in real-time? Yes, we started a bit ahead with the lamb

chops. If you cook them from raw, what happens is, you press this

dukkah mix into it so it really stays... What do we do with the

onion? Give it a fine dice. In goes our quinoa. You squeeze over a big

load of lemon juice. Now we want a lovely freshness on to this. Lemon.

You can put whatever you want into this. If you have got some olives

and sun-dried tomatoes, that works as well. That goes in. That goes in.

We mix that around. You can see we are getting this nice salad.

Gorgeous! What we do to serve. A spoonful of this lovely fresh salad

- I could eat that on its own. We sit our chops... It is delicious.

Really fresh. Then what we've got on top of that, now we have this

lovely heavily-spiced dukkah and we bring a little dribble of honey on

to there. We need another knife and fork. Amazing. One for you. Knife.

I would just pick up the lamb chop... Can I pick it up? Go for

it? Wow! That is really good. Yummy! Really good. Darren and Pete

One. Our next guest has thrown caution to the wind and blown his

hole in the ozone layer by covering the whole of the globe on the back

of his motorbike with his mate, Ewan McGregor. Here they are in

action. Hundreds of more bikes, you look in your wing mirror and bikes

At the moment, we are standing on the Atlantic. If I go like that, we

are in the Indian! We were looking at each other thinking we did this

together, we rode here. It's the most beautiful place I have ever

been to. Unbelievable. Welcome to Something For The Weekend, Charley

Boorman. You get paid to be on holiday! So do you! It was lovely

to watch that again. I haven't seen that for ages. The nice thing about

doing those kind of shows is that you can look back at them and

remember things. You forget quite a lot. If you travel, it is worth

keeping a diary or taking lots of photos. You do forget some of the

places you have been. You have created the best job for yourself

in the world! We will talk about that in a minute. You met Ewan when

you were acting. It was a film called The Serpent's Kiss. It did

phenomenally badly. You got a good friend out of it? We both had our

first kids and we were both mad for motorcycles and we became friends

and for a long time, we have been friends for 15 years, and we ran

motorbike race teams together, we did track days, anything to do with

motorcycles we did. Then we started talking about doing a longer

journey which ended up going around the top of the world. What happened

to your acting career? I was an actor when I was a kid. That is

what I want to talk about? father is a film director, who did

Excalibur, Hope And Glory and Deliverance. That is The Emerald

Forest. Deliverance - has it an anniversary this year? 40 years

this year. I was - that was the first film I was in. I wasn't the

It was amazing. When I was - because dad used to take us to all

of his film sets around the world. I suppose that is where I got the

taste for travelling. I remember he used to say, "If you sit on that

sofa with that bloke, I will give you a tricycle." Anywhere he wanted

me to look, he would move it around the set. How old were you? I was

five years old. You are at the end of the film? I'm not a hillbilly. I

remember dad's driver taught me how to shoot a gun and I would go off...

We should sit shooting signposts with this handgun. I couldn't hold

it. You have always been a daredevil. I got it from my father.

Then I started - I did a film called Emerald Forest and then I

started getting movies. I chose movies for their location rather

than the script! LAUGHTER I would be sitting on the plane reading

this script thinking, "This is really bad!" But at least I get to

go somewhere nice! Then I would decorate people's houses and I

would do movies and then I met Ewan and then we decided to do this trip

and sort of - that was seven years ago. Everything changed. That trip

was like, it was London to Australia... London to New York. We

went round the top of the world, so the most land mass you can do. We

covered 20,000 miles in four-and-a- half months - Kazakhstan, Mongolia.

Did anything go wrong? Lots of things went wrong. That is the fun

of it. That is the kind of things you remember. When did you decide

to dump Ewan McGregor and go on your own? When he became a first-

class movie actor! LAUGHTER I would like to say I dumped him but no...

Ewan's passion - I slept with his light sabre! Ewan's passion is

movies. We have always spoken about doing a third one. It is on the

cards. At the moment, I'm doing stuff on my own. I just finished

this... That was in Canada? travelled through lots of different

countries around - we travelled quite fast through them. I wanted -

some of them I wanted to go back and get to know that particular

country. Extreme Frontiers - Canada was - it was that idea to go back

to some of the countries. Canada is the second biggest in the world. If

you like the outdoors, you can do anything you want there. It is

brilliant fun. We have a clip of you on Extreme Frontiers. It is one

where you are having a panic attack. Can you set it up for us? Of all

the ones you could have chosen. It was fresh water lake, it is on the

Great Lakes and lots of ships, the British and the French fought to

get access to the Great Lakes but lots of ships have sunk there. It

is very cold water. I'm used to hot water, warm water. Let's have a

I have never had a panic attack before. I think it was because the

water was so cold and I found it difficult to get my breath. I was

wearing three wetsuits and had this silly hood around my face which was

making me feel really claustrophobic. Once we got under

water, we had a spectacular dive. I have always dived in warm water.

It's funny. They kept saying, "It's really cold." Yeah, yeah. I put all

these wetsuits on and I hit the water and it is like hitting an ice

bath. Everything sort of contracts and you can't breathe and every

time I try to get a breath, the waves were splashing in my face. I

had a panic attack. It is like - it was a a panicky feeling. I have

such respect for people who have that feeling. I never truly

understood it, until that moment. have only done it a couple of times.

I find it is when you are down and you look up, you think, "That is

quite a long way to go if something happens to me." I was completely

panicked. I have to get down and do this filming. I talk myself down

and when I got under water, it was fine. The poor diver flipped me on

my back and dragged me. I felt afterwards like such an idiot.

Quickly, you have a motorbike expedition you are doing, or

adventure. What is that? I take 22 riders from Cape Town to Victoria

Falls on motorcycles. All the routes through Africa sm it's about

16 days. Sounds brilliant. anyone join in? Yes. Can I come on

my Vespa? Last year we had to stop because 40 elephants were crossings

Always have an exit. Who has the slowest bike? It would be you!

Charley is staying to cook our last dish of the day with Simon. If you

still want to ask him, Darren or Pete anything, Tweet @SFTW. All of

this is still to come: A self- checkout machine gets the hump in

The One Griff Rhys Jones. Simon cooks up a veggie moussaka. It's

hot water and towels at the ready in Call The Midwife. I need to ask

in Call The Midwife. I need to ask your mother some questions. Also

still to come: Ella Williamson is here to show us her wares including

this watch which doubles up as a wallet - well, money! You can buy

things with it. So I think that's what is going on. Darren and Pete

are still with us. Are either of you handy in the kitchen? Useless!

I'm great at microwave popcorn. That is impossible to do. How do

you do that? Just listen. You have to feel the popcorn. The last one

to pop - you stick it in a pouch, a paper thing and it goes. You have

to sit and listen for when it stops popping. If you wait too long, they

burn. Yeah, but too little you only get half a pack. It is down to a

fine art. Do you do it on a timing system or listen? You have to

listen. Maybe you have a good microwave! All different microwaves,

that is why you have to listen. Every microwave is different.

is your cooking? I'm always impressed on these shows,

everything is prepared. My fridge is full of left-overs. Where are

you from? Middlesbrough. Middlesbrough. All right. What are

we making? Bacon and chocolate Have you done it before? Never before.

It sounds like a winner. You must have? Never. Living between

Australia, Britain and America, where would you say is the best

food for you? I have to say the healthiest food is probably in LA.

Everyone is body-conscious over there. I always say the Brits are

the best at crap food. The crisps are so much better over there.

think you are right. What we have got... What? Chocolate and crisps,

ours are the best! Bacon, that we have cooked, chocolate, we have

melted. Then we have coffee, oil, sour cream, eggs. The dry

ingredients for the muffins, sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda.

Crumble the bacon into the chocolate? I'm always clean. Then,

while Pete is doing that... Don't make it disappear! Tip all of the

dry ingredients and give it a quick mix. Have you use food in magic

before? I baked a cupcake in a fella's shoe in my live show. That

was last year's tour. I am touring again after our series finishes.

is comedy and you are a comedian mainly? Half-and-half. It depends

how good I am doing on that particular night! LAUGHTER They are

not laughing, do some magic! Exactly. I try and mix the two. As

funny as possible and some amazing tricks. Tommy Cooper-style stuff?

Yes. I try to make it as funny as possible. Give your hands a wash.

Then we mix the chocolate and the bacon together. Tip it on to our

baking parchment and we let that set. Then we end up with our own

bacon chocolate bar. That is all the dry ingredients. Darren, mix

all the wet ingredients into that bowl. Crack the eggs in and give

that a quick beat around. It is dry there, wet there. I used to do bits

of magic years ago on another TV show I did. You end up paying �50

for something and you are paying �49 for the instructions! And pund

1 for a bit of rubber. It is a secret. It's different these days.

Kids can - if they fancy a trick, they can see a demo online. When I

was buying them it was just a paragraph. How much is the trick

and how much is the set-up? It is all about the spin and the

performance and what you bring to a trick. That is what people are

interested in. Did you do that stuff where you go around bars?

That is how I started. I worked in a restaurant, a pizza restaurant in

Middlesbrough, as people were waiting for food, or if there was

time taken to get a table, I would do a few card tricks. You always

think with close-up magic - you think, I am going to see this, I'm

this close. When you are done, you think that is amazing. It is.

have dry ingredients, wet ingredients. Pop the wet

ingredients into the dry and stir them together. What's happened with

our bacon and chocolate, this has now set. You never see the blokes

standing on the streets with the cups. They get moved on... I saw

that the other day. I was so tented to put a fiver down - I got to make

sure! Do not do that! Everybody was winning! LAUGHTER I know it is

illegal, but it is so great. Don't buy a set of speakers! You sort of

see them winning - this guy is going to be bankrupt. It is

brilliant. That mix together. I will get you crumbling again.

Basically we break the bacon chocolate up and spoon it into

there. Little pieces? Doesn't matter. All we have done is - we

have made our own bar of bacon chocolate. Good with your hands.

That goes in. It is going all over the place! Anyone got a pack of

cards?! That's fine. All we are looking to do is we spoon in - into

our delicious muffin containers. So now we have got a sweet and savoury

thing going on. These are our basic muffins. Now, we have made a little

bit of chocolate glaze which is butter, icing sugar and melted

chocolate. So you want that action and twist it so it is really tight.

Then with it horizontal, so holding it like that - I feel like I'm

doing a magic trick! There's nothing in my hands. Very vertical,

we squeeze around like that. Yes. It is about keeping tension. Hold

your hand out like that. Twist that. That is so easy! All in the tension.

Here we go. Very good! Before you do the next one, just re-adjust and

make it tight again. All about the tension! This is good. Forget the

tricks. So, we have... We have our beautiful chocolate. You don't have

to do the frosting on them. Bizarrely... Want to come over?

will garnish. We will garnish more bacon and we sprinkle a bit of sea

salt on. We are used to the salty caramel flavour. Open them up. Have

a taste. What you will find... If you peel back the paper... You will

get a saltintess and then you will get the bacon flavour coming

through. Go for it! That is great! Really good. Mmm. Oh! That is good.

Amazing. Absolutely delicious. Charley will be doing an aubergine

and lentil moussaka. In a moment, since I spent so much time in South

America, Wayne's got some Latino cocktails for us. I can drink them

all! First another chance to guess the year all of this lot happened

the year all of this lot happened in Deja View.

# Why does it feel like # Why does it feel... #

There's been celebrations all over the United Kingdom today to mark

the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.

Thousands packed into the centre of London around Buckingham Palace to

see her for themselves. Madonna and Guy Ritchie will tie the knot in

the next few hours. The former Conservative Cabinet Minister

Jonathan Aitken has been released from prison in Kent. For the next

two months, he will have to wear an electronic tag and observe a curfew

from 7.00am to 7.00pm. # Why does it feel like... #

If I can't trust you, I have no choice but to put you right back

outside the circle. Once you are out, you are out. There is no

coming back. I would definitely like to stay inside the circle.

Tell me the truth. OK. Jack, I don't know what we are talking

about! All right, look, father, I'm a patient man. That is what 19

months in a Vietnamese prison camp will do to you.Ly be watching you,

studying your every move and if I find that you are trying to corrupt

my first born child I will bring you down, baby, I will bring you

down to Chinatown! Spiller and Sophie Ellis Bextor with Grovejet,

but what year was that? I went '99 and Simon went '98. What do you

think? I'm thinking 2001. 2001? split between - before the

Millennium or just after. Go on Millennium or just after. Go on

then? 2000! What is cooking in the drinks kitchen? We will do a nice

twist - you love caipirinhas! It means drink of the land. It is

based on cachaca, lime, sugar. girlfriend and I were in Rio and he

was trying to get us to taste the cachaca, because it is really

famous. He was giving them to us in shot glasses and we were shooting

it! No, it was a messy evening. They call it pinga. It is like what

the French make in the French- Caribbean. It is a very - it can be

strong. Most of them between 38% and 44%. It is kind of - cachaca

derives from a Portuguese word which means "firewater". We will do

a twist to this - Kumquat Caipirinha. I love kumquats. They

are bang in season right now. There's not a lot of juice. I want

to get the flavour out of the skin. The kumquat you can eat whole. Not

a lot of juice. There's a lot of big flavours. With the skin on?

With the skin on. A bit of lime juice. I will sweeten that with a

bit of sugar. Very bitter. don't like that? It is very bitter.

Very good for you, though. One-and- a-half shots of cachaca. Dry orange

liqueur. Crushed ice. I will give it a little swizzle with my stick.

With your swizzle stick! To bring the flavours together. Then I will

add more crushed ice to cap it off. I have a nice split kumquat here

for the garnish. Lovely. A couple of straws. There you go. A lovely

Kumquat Caipirinha. You could do it with grapefruit. It is all coming

back to me now! LAUGHTER That is gorgeous! There's a picture of you

drining them. That looks like -- drinking them. That looks like...

That looks like number six - you can tell from my eyes! Really good.

Really fresh. Our next one will be with pis Coe. The national drink of

with pisco. The national drink of Peru. I have a bit of Galliano

autentico going in. In Peru, it comes from the name of a wild bird

called piscoo! LAUGHTER A shot-and- a-half of that. We have the lemon,

the sugar, this one is called - wait for it - this one is called...

LAUGHTER I'm fine. Nothing to see here! This one is called Pisco

Armour! I'm going to put a bit of parfait armour over the top. Lovely.

What is that? Parfait armour. It gives it a nice purple colour.

LAUGHTER Tim! It is like an Irish nightclub dance! Pisco here and

pisco there! Lovely. That is a beautiful, delightful twist on a

pisco sour. Thank you, Wayne. Are you able? I'm fine. I need it!

tomorrow night at 8.30pm on BBC One. Our gadget guru today is Ella

Williamson. The reason you are naughty is because last night

people would have seen you on television. That's right. Your

brother was on Take Me Out. He was. He had lost all his lights bar one.

Yes, he came down the lift, 25 lights were on. VT of him, not

particularly flattering about his career. One light left on. Then

they turned to you to persuade girls to want to go on a date with

him. This is what happened. If you go on a date with my brother, you

will have a great laugh. He has a terrible habit of falling asleep

everywhere. How are things at home at the moment?! Christmas was - no,

it was fine. Oliver and I get on really well. We hadn't got to the

clip where we all say what a brilliant guy he is. He has handled

it really well. Has he? Yes. What are if gadgets? We are looking at

are if gadgets? We are looking at the PS Vita. What is very cool is

it has a five-inch screen and it's all touch-screen. It is emulating

some fantastic graphics. We have a clip of us looking at it. We have

fantastic graphics. It is nearly a high-definition screen. It does

look amazing. You can have a look at movies. You can connect it to

your PlayStation 3. It has graphics that are similar to the PlayStation

3 as well. So really strong. Brilliant to have on the go. It is

the first PlayStation console you can take on the go with 3G and Wi-

Fi. One of the best bits is that with the gaming, you can have

augmented reality, so you can impose your face on it and you have

a background. This is brilliant. have - we will go into fight mode.

We will pick our fighter which is the very handsome Simon Rimmer! And

we will have Mr Red Skull. We will go for Richier. Now, we will select

our backdrop. I will go for augmented reality. You have taken a

picture of Simon? Yes. It is him. We will see him in slightly - just

showcasing his boxing skills. We will go to augmented reality. It

has a front and rear-facing camera. We will use the rear-facing camera

to pick a backdrop. We will go for the bar. So there we are. We are

boxing on the bar. Come on, Simon! We are using the PlayStation 3 - I

will try... This is good stuff. Very clever. To be able to bring

gaming on to your bar. How much is that one? �229 for the Wi-Fi

version and with 3G it will be �279. All the kids will want that! Yes.

What is next? We have the Watch2pay. Your watch can take you out for

lunch. It comes with a pre-pay contactless chip in it. You can

spend up to �15 at any establishment that has a

contactless device. Some smartphones have a similar

technology. This is you buying something, a bottle of water?

watch tapped it on the contactless device and then you can pay

anything up to �15. How do you get your sterl into the watch? It comes

with �10 on it. You go on the Watch2pay website and you put in

your bank details. Will you be able to buy it across the world? Yes.

Everyone will be doing this. Will this catch on? In 2016, there is

talk of us all not using cash and being able to... Mobile phones,

watches. Almost like an Oyster card. How much are these? These are

�99.99. Let's move on to this. This is the Bigtrak. We have a rocket

launcher on here. We have seen these before. We are looking at the

accessories. It will fire foam rockets - I am going to...

programme moves in before you start. And fire! I will turn it off and on

again. It's gadget roulette! Will it work? Won't it work? Come on!

Come on, fire! There we go. works. You can programme it. So we

have done it to go in a square. Then we have also got a can holder

down here. So we have a can holder. Again, you programme it. It will

remember 16 moves. It is the lazy way of giving someone a can of pop.

A bit of fun programming. How much are these? �6.99 for the can holder

and �19.99 for the rocket launcher and �39.99 for the Bigtrak.

Time to look at a new drama set in pofr city stricken London in the

1950s. -- poverty stricken London in the 1950s. This is called Call

in the 1950s. This is called Call The Midwife. How many previous

pregnancies have you had? pregnancies. She had two sets of

twins. There's 24 of us altogether. 24? You have hardly got any stretch

marks. I can't translate it. I will need to ask your mother some

questions. When did you last have a period? She's my mum, you can't ask

her that! Dad, is that you? The nurse is here and she is asking

embarrassing questions. Come down and speak to Denise. Needs her

drawers changing! I reckon she is new. You can see the first part of

Call The Midwife tonight on BBC One at 8.00pm. You must have some

random cooking experiences on the random cooking experiences on the

road, Charley? There's always weird stuff that you end up eating -

testicles, snake, squirrel. Yummy(!) Snake's tube is delicious

and other stuff. We have 15 people coming for lunch today and I rang

Olly to make sure... His wife. "I have to call the missus and tell

her to put the meat on!" We did a thing on another channel together

and you are incredibly competent if kind of, how shall I put it? Cocky?

He's not. I was given the recipe that Charley was going to cook and

the reality was very different. Tell me, you are not doing that now.

I will do it my way! I love it. Especially when you have been away

for a long time and you eat foreign foods or some bizarre food and you

kind of crave the Sunday lunches and all that - when I come back the

first Sunday back we get loads of people over and do a big Sunday

lunch and roast beef or roast lamb or whatever it is. It is what you

know is going into it? Crack that bottle of red wine at 11.00am and

by the time you serve... What are we cooking? We will do an aubergine

and lentil moussaka. The topping - we have eggs, pecorino cheese,

ricotta cheese, yoghurt, ground nutmeg. For the sauce, we have

tomatoes, red lentils, parsley, garlic, cinnamon, tomato puree,

onion and red peppers. Charley, a dice would be good, but a slice if

you can't dice. According to you, whatever you tell him to do, he

will do the opposite! When we have guests on who kind of cook, it is

easier. Everyone has their own way of slicing onions. Do the same with

the peppers. I will slice the garlic rather than crush it. We use

it as an ingredient rather than a seasoning. Tweets are flooding in.

There is one here which I was going to ask. Charley, every married

bloke would like to know how Charley's wife lets him go away so

much? I suppose - once I have been at home for a wee while, after a

month I see my suitcases packed and left by the front door and she is

going, "Get out!" I have always travelled. My wife is very used to

it. And the kids, when I finish each trip, my kids and wife come

out to the end so I try to do it at the start of the holidays and we go

off together. It is very important when you have been away from each

other for a long time to re-bond somewhere neutral. Yes. I agree

with that. Want these chopping? to do. I have onion and garlic.

do live... It is very important to go somewhere neutral so you can...

You learn to live away from each other and then you have to learn to

get back together. She will have her own spaces in the house?

think there is that massive pressure for it to be magnificent

when you come home. You have been there is bills to pay. But it is

lovely. I love coming back and Olly is an important part of my life and

any project I want to do is sounded through her first.

We have cooked off the onion. We had a simple - oh I missed my

tomato puree. So we cook that for ten or 15

minutes to get rid of the acid nature of the tomatoes. That

becomes our sauce. We tip in our lentils and then we also tip in the

aubergines. Do you have to squash them? They

talk about salting and squeezing the liquid out. It is a weird one.

All of the aubergines that we buy in this country have been farmed.

So a lot of the bitterness has been removed. Some people find them

bitter. Rinse them and slice them and you will get rid of the

bitterness. We have this lovely mix of lentils and aubergines and we

have got peppers and onions. We have great, great flavours in there

and we simple a wee bit of parsley as we go. That's the easy bit.

Again, if you want... If you didn't want this to be veggie, you would

have fried off your lamb. That's great. So the topping. Now the

topping is delicious and this is a really simple thing to do. You can

use this to an alternative of doing a sauce an lasagne. We have put in

the ricotta and cracked three eggs. Chuck it all in there.

When you are away from Olly, you are with a bunch of boys. We come

back to Ewan McGregor. Are there ever times when you are sick of

him? It becomes, yeah, of course, you do, you have your good and bad

days. I mean, I think, you know it does sometimes, you know, of course,

the more time you spend with someone, you are going to have good

and bad days. Euan and I have different characters and we kind of

sort of dove tail each other and we work together and plus the fact

their on your motorbike and most of the time you don't have to talk to

each other at all!, but you can get fed-up with each other.

We have an e-mail from Jack., "Charlie, what did you like most

about Canada?" The book and DVD is out. It is incredibly - it is

variant from the East Coast to the west. You can go through the Rocky

Mountains. When I was in the Rocky Mountains I climbed a 3,000 meter

mountain with this big climber who did Cliff er.

-- cliff Hanger. Pour half of that on, Charlie. You

have got this lovely sour flavour and then loads and loads of cheese

on top and we take that. And we end up with... It's hot.

If you have got little individual pots, it is a great thing to do

these as an individual. A massive big portion for Charlie because he

is a big lad. Thanks.

It is over to Tim, Darren and Pete It is over to Tim, Darren and Pete

for the Deja View news. Deja View, yes, when the Queen

Mother turned 100 and Madonna and Guy Ritchie tieed the knot.

We all rushed to the cinema to see Meet The Parents was the year 2000.

Wayne got it right and we were all close. Who have you got on next

week? I'm working with Mel Giedroyc next week. I hope Mel is practising

and getting up to speed. Who are the other celebs? David

Haye and Kimberley Wyatt. The Pussycat Dolls.

What time is it on?. 6.35pm. It could go wrong.

Adam says, "What advice would you give a budding magician?". A good

book and build up from there. Is the slight of hand the hard bit?

You need to get the core skills and vary them and do different things.

Is it the same as cooking, if you start with four or or five tricks

and move on? Is it like cooking? When you started cooking, I said if

you have four or five dishes and get them right...

LAUGHTER Jonathan White people are in

motorbikes, love them, don't they? It is like you marry the motorbike,

isn't it? So many people said, "What's Charlie's favourite

motorbike?" We have only got 20 seconds.

I love all motorbikes. The thing that always gets me most are the

bikes I had to sell and the one I always regret is a XL 600 Honda.
