19/02/2012 Something for the Weekend

Morning, joining us today Flight of the Conchords star actor and

comedian Rhys D'Arby is here. Blue Peter presenter turned

adventure, Helen Skelton. This is Welcome to Something For The

Weekend. It's lucky I am here, I have been ill all week. Bless you,

what was wrong. Such a solder, mate. We skipped the doctor, went

straight to the priest. Anyway, Alex is here. How are you? Really

good, thank you. You have been working a lot recently, haven't

you? Every day this week. started Let's Dance for Sport

Relief last night, that was good. I don't know if everybody seen it, we

take iconic dances and celebrities do a dance. I love it. It's a good

laugh. Shall we have a look at last night. The two winners we have.

This is two girls from EastEnders, they did Telephone. They were

really good dancers and they won the public vote. They're straight

through to the final on 17th March. They were brilliant. Then Terry

Alderton he did Proud Mary by Tina Turner. Great legs. The panel

choose him. TINA does that weird thing with her face. I couldn't

arrange my face into anything but horror. Me and Keith Lemon were

laughing. I missed it, I am sorry, but the public vote is that how

they go through? One act goes through because of the public vote

and the panel will choose between the two next highest acts. Who is

next week, do we know? Next week, I am not sure which order, I know

Olly Murs and Scott Mills are doing it. What are they doing? I can't

say. Is it good? Yeah, but Scott Mills is panicking because he's

learned - we all knew this, that Olly could dance, but he is

stressing because he thinks he will look rubbish in comparison.

will! Why aren't you two doing it? Erasure. Can we just do that.

There's not much dancing involved. The bit behind the keyboards and a

bit of dancing. Too easy. You should do something like Salt and

Pepper. Might be too easy, but entertaining, nonetheless. It's

National Chip Week. We all knew that. Starting Monday 20th February.

We have been sent - have we been sent these? These are biscuits with

chips in them. Rather than chocolate chips, actual chips. Some

facts whilst you are tasting those. Why are we having National Chip

Week? It's not like they're not popular. They don't need the PR. We

eat 300 million portions of fish and chips in Britain each year.

Amazing. There are more than 10,000 fish and chip shops in the UK. A

good fact here about we eat more - many more fish and chips than we do

Indians, but I can't find that. That isn't going to catch on.

What's it like? Well, the saltiness that you first get, that salt and

sweet thing is nice but then you get the greasy - why not give us a

bag of chips? I love chips. I don't know whether you need chip cookies.

It's a step too far. It's a PR stunt. I don't know why because we

- are they trying to sell these? It's a PR stunt! I am glad. Right,

we will be having - I have just taken something to eat when I have

to speak! When my going to learn to be a proper presenter? We will be

talking to Rhys D'Arby later on in the show.

I have to go. Got something on, have you? Yeah. I have nothing on

the agenda today. I have put nothing here, no need to come in.

Why have you called us in? I love that show. Plus, Blue Peter

presenter Helen Skelton is here to tell us all about this year's Sport

Relief. And we have been bombarding her with questions. If you have a

question to put to Rhys or Helen e- mail us. Or tweet. The main reason

I am here is for the free food. Simon, what have you got? We are

starting today with chickpea dhansak with mini puris, simple

flavoursome starter. Look at that, lovely. Main course we are roasting

some cod with skordalia, made with potatoes, garlic, ground almonds

and olive oil. Roasting the cod. Tomatoes. Look at that, you want to

eat that, don't you? Looks healthy. Does that mean you don't like it?

In a good way. With chips it would be better. Dessert which isn't

healthy, a gooey chocolate cake. The crew have demolished 15 of them

so far today. Look at that, that's lovely. Then our final dish is a

baked Cuban chicken and rice dish. This is one of those that - you are

looking at that thinking I don't like the way that looks. I don't

mind that. Sausages, chicken, spices, rice, all chucked in a pan

and cooked together. Delicious. That looks good. Is that coriander

on the top? No. Looks like parsley. You can head to our website to

follow all of those recipes. the rest of what's on the show

today. Rubgses in the household with war

looming in Upstairs Down stairs. Some of us fought a war on your

behalf. A war to end all wars. A drunken encounter at a party

leads to pregnancy in Pramface. think you have the wrong table.

And Sean thinks it's time to tell his son the truth in Prisoners'

Wives. I want to you listen, yeah.

And Wayne is over there shaking his thing in the cocktail area, what

are you making today? If you are thinking about giving up booze for

lent I have store cupboard clearout. No. If you were it's a good thing.

I have a twist on a basic old school drink, and also do a fresh

fruit mocktail. To combat Chip Week. You have chosen a bad week to come

on! We have a great picture of Wayne later. When he is younger,

it's fantastic. I tell you what, the girls, stay tuned. Never mind

Beckhams. Really? The Wayne-ster, honestly! In that league? Above.

Right, what are we making? tinned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes and

for our puris flour, warm water and coriander which I am going to give

you the option to leave out f you wish. Make these first of all. If

you can't get hold of chapatti flour do a 5050 mix of plain flour.

Here is the way to make sure that you can do things in an easy

fashion. If you are going to mix with your hands, the temptation is

to go in with two hands but what we encourage lads to do in the

restaurant is to do it with one hand, so you have a claw action and

start working. The reason we do it is two-fold. The swaurt warm -- the

water is warm. The reason we do this is one is if you suddenly find

you need more water then you have a clean hand to do that. The other

main reason we do it if I am honest is that at the start of the day

before the front of house staff are on we also answer the phone all day,

so if you keep one hand free you can answer the phone. How hard and

rough do I have to be with this? Now it's coming together you can

start pressing it. Put some pressure on your hand there. As it

starts to come together almost use the Doug itself to get -- the dough

to get the extra bits around the edge. On the website you will see

the quantities. Do it by touch really. You can get vicious with it

now, Tim. Put your back into it, Tim. If you would roughly chop some

tomatoes. Somehow The One Show going? You danced at the pal Lance.

-- Palace. Do you want these in chunks? It was the first time Matt

had been back dancing since he did Strictly. Obviously you were a good

dancer. I wouldn't say good, to be honest. You came fourth. I get by.

There is a pick tire -- picture of you. Nice frock. No pressure, you

are in the music room and the Palace thinking oh gosh if I hit

that that that chanderleir we are in trouble! We did the show live

with Gary Barlow playing the piano. It's been a good time on the show.

What are you going to do at the Jubilee? Well, there is a big

concert outside the Palace. I think we are doing a live show from there.

The concert sound amazing. Gary Barlow was phoupbsing -- announcing

the line-up so you have all the greats, Elton John, Sir Tom Jones,

Shirley Bassey, loads of people. They're all Welsh. Taken over.

know what I think you should do for The One Show, you know Tuesday, the

rest of the world are doing pancakes. Yeah, they are. Apart

from in Scarborough, you know what they do? What do they do. They go

to the seaside and skip. Why? Because it's their skipping day. I

think The One Show should cover this because I have always been

sceptical about it but it's true. I have a picture. I promise you, on

Tuesday. They could skip and flip a pancake. It's their skipping day on

Tuesday. I think as a duty to the country The One Show should record

all the kids down there. Even better, 2002 could do an aorb aorb

you two could do an item on it. can't, it's nigh nan's birthday --

my nan's birthday! We are flattening these out and they go

into the hot oil. You want them thin. Thin them out a little bit.

These don't take long at all. We have done this in real time. Really

what you do is you make the dough and make it sit for about 20

minutes so it will rest. In the oil they will puff up more. This is

absolutely fine. If you live in Scarborough can you let us know if

you will be going to the seaside to skip and why you do it. And do they

get a pancake in at the end? imagine the kids will want to eat

pancakes as well. Do you know the difference between a a -- crepe and

pancake? I don't either, I was wondering whether Simon... I think

they're the same. They're not the same. They would be called the same

if they were the same. One is French. I know one is French. A

crepe is thinner. What's the difference with snails and

lescargot? It's just a name, Simon. What is Welsh for pancake? Think of

kreufrping your hair, -- crimping your hair, crimp. We fried off

onions and garlic and chilli. The puris are done. They can come out

like that. Once you cook the spices out for a couple of minutes and it

spells delicious already then we simply add the tomatoes. Turn the

heat up a little bit. The turmeric goes in, gives it colour. In goes

the lentils, ten to 15 minutes is all it takes. We have this lovely

delicious tprag -- fragrant colour. There is a suggestion that the

difference between a crepe and pancake is one has baking soda.

it wasn't as basic as we first thought. Baking soda, no. American-

style have baking soda in. I am just the messenger. Don't shoot the

messenger, Simon. Maybe a pancake can have baking soda where a crepe

doesn't, possibly. I would add fresh coriander in but we are not

going to do that. You are such a baby! Some of the greatest chefs of

our time don't like coriander. I just chopped these tomatoes for

nothing? They would go in but we ran out of time. A bit of yoghurt.

Then with our delicious curry mix, when everyone makes it at home

they'll have coriander. We lay a little bit of that on there.

Meanwhile, grab a few of these fellas and these are really

delicious and tasty. Think of these as almost like a garnish, croutons

almost. You have the freshness of like that. Lime juice, fresh

coriander is what I would do. Go for it. Gorgeous. Those,

considering that dough hasn't rested at all, it's nice and fluffy.

They're quite springy which is what we're looking for. Don't fry them

so much that they're crispy. They should still be bready. That's

really nice. It would be good with a prawn in it. Prawn and puri,

classic combination, Tim. That's really G What are you doing for

main course? Roasted cod with skordalia sauce, which is potato,

almonds, olive oil and lemon. you follow all the recipes on the

website. It's 1938 and dark clouds threaten the veneer of calm at 165

Eaton Place as we return for the beginning of the second series of

beginning of the second series of Upstairs Downstairs.

I wonder whether you mite pass the That were uncalled for. I'd have

thrown the pepper at him too. Like giving meat and two veg to Judas.

think you should stop this, getting your shirt tails in a twist over

something that happened 20 years ago. Something? Something?! Some of

us fought a war on your behalf, a war to end all wars. Well it didn't

end all wars, did it? So you've No. This is all my fault. Go back

out to the servants' hall. You're taking sides and that never soflz a

quarrel. You can see the first show in the

new series tonight on BBC One at 9.30pm. Now our first guest this

morning is kiwi actor and comedian best known for playing Murray

Hewitt the band's manager in the cult show Flight of the Conchords.

Do we have any Giggs or anything, I've got to go. Got something on

have you? Yeah. I've nothing on the aJane da today. Nothing here, no

need to come in. Why have you called us in? Wrote nothing.

called us up and told us to come in to tell us there's no need to come

in. That's weird isn't it. Why did you call us? It's like a habit. We

fall into these patterns day after day, doing the same thing. You know,

it's a bit like Shelley and I actually, looking back. I think

that's where the cracks started to show. Getting used to each other so

much and taking each other for granted, like a pair of old

sneakers, they're always there, put them on, same thing day after day.

I'll get us some cake. Welcome to Something For The Weekend D'Arby,

Flight of the Conchords one of my favourite sitcoms... Oh! Of the

modern times. Major success really isn't it,? Yeah I guess very

surprisingly. It's gone global. did it come about? Was it first of

all a BBC, Radio 4? Yes, it all started here I guess. BBC Radio two,

it was a series, six-part, Rob Brydon did the that raigs. Back

then it was more a mocumentary style feel. Mmm... They didn't pick

the series up in New Zealand, even though it was a massive hit, it is

a massive hit. New Zealand thought it was too Wellington.

Wellington, yes. I guess, it is very Wellington, but it just, is

it? I don't know. I think, they were worried that no-one would

watch it. It's typical of New Zealand. "Oh, no-one's going to

look at that." New Zealand's like our mum. "That's good dear. Go and

show the other people." Come back and dot dishes will you, the cows

need milking. We're trying to break through. This show really broke

through the barriers of that and showed mum that that the whole

world wants to see what we're capable of. Times have changed.

Especially in comedy in New Zealand since this show has been a global

phenomenon. In the series, the Americans never, because it's based

in America now, in the series, they never understand what New Zealand

is. They don't think it exists, but do they in real life now, Americans,

know what it is? Yes, yeah, thanks to Peter Jackson and Flight of the

Conchords, we're firmly on the map. Those are the two. And the All

Blacks, but the rugby team, but they're still not very much aware

of rugby in America, so it was really down to entertainment,

especially in LA. It's all about, what have you done that's in front

of a camera that we can relate to. As a stand-up comedian, how is the

scene when you started out. You didn't start in 1994. You were in

the army before that. How is the scene in New Zealand, is that why

you felt you had to leave? It was very small. I was doing more gigs

than anyone and I was doing three a week at the three places that were

literally, three or four streets away from each other. I'd often

have the same audiences "Oh, we saw you on Tuesday, mate." Anything

new? That's where I started to get my improve skills going. I would

raise the -- recognise the faces in the crowd. "Curtains are weird,

aren't they? Look at these." They were more like friends than

audience by the end. Yeah, well it's a small country. Everyone

knows someone who knows someone and a lot of people were in the

audience saying to me, "You should go overseas mate. We've all seen

you here." That's one of the reasons I left. Also, it was

actually some, an English comic that told me you should go to the

UK, your style of comedy is universal and I think it would

transcend global Jen derz. That's what he said, which didn't make

much sense to me. But you have. I did. I came over here and lo and

behold a lot of people from all different walks of life laughs...

At me, and the rest was history. Now you're about to tour again, but

or are you touring at the moment with your book and your tours,

self-titled same thing? Yes, I've written a book, my first. It's

called This Way To Spaceship. Because the world is going to end

on the 21 of December 2012. Happen yip thoughts for a Sunday morning.

Yeah well, a lot of people don't believe it. I've started building

an Ark. This is good. You'd better be ready. It's like that song,

"$$NEWLINE# You'd better be ready... You're not familiar with that one?

It's Cyprus hill. I thought, you know, with all the earthquakes and

that, I live in New Zealand, we had the terrible tragedies with the

Christ Church earthquakes and then Japan. We live in the ring of fire

with the tectonic plates and it's horrendous. What if the rumours are

true and things come to a clie Mactick end, as foretold by the

Mayan prophecies, based on their temples and so forth, I thought,

well, we better have a plan, you know. So I thought were obviously

the superpowers of the world have probably built spaceships you know,

if I'm thinking this, there's got to be a few clued up types out

there who have "Hey those Mayans could be right, get a spaceship

ready." If there are spaceships we better find them and get on them.

Obviously some people will be invited to leave on the eve of the

Armageddon and I'm probably high up on that list, after doing the

Flight of the Conchords TV show. course. I thought I want to get my

friends and family and everyone else who I love to be part of it,

so I better, how did I get there? So I started to think about some of

the things I'm good at, obviously dancing, fashion, things to say at

parties, so I wrote a book. It's loosely autobuy graphical hand book

on how we can all make it. If you don't get invited by the end of it,

there's a chapter on how to find the spaceships yourself and get on

board through various methods of diguise. That's a very handy

chapter then. Very handy. This is also a stand-up show as well.

turned this into a stand-up show. We have a clip. As a kid I had

transformers. I transformed them. They never transformed as quick as

in those films and that, I couldn't understand it. It often took me

half a day to work it out. This is what I expected to see in the

Transformers film when they transformed. "Transform. My arm is

stuck in the wheel housing, I can't twist it. Will it rotate round?

What does that do? I'm half a truck. Turn it. It doesn't go that way.

Incoming, quick! My head doesn't go down. Put me back in the box. "Very

good. Are you still touring that? That's a show that I, it's on DVD

now, last year I put that on DVD. The new show is completely new.

That's from last year's show. That particular piece I love so much,

I'll do many times. You're touring round the UK again soon? Yeah in

July. You're going to the Fringe as well aren't you? Yes, absolutely.

Mike Morgan got asked -- got to ask this. Can you confirm that Flight

of the Conchords is coming to the big screen as rumoured? Will it be

a film? We've spoken. We want to make a film. That's the first step.

The next process is I believe we have to write on paper how it's

going to, what the lines are and... LAUGHTER

And a title. The boys will probably write the script. I've provided the

initial title page. Which is? haven't got it with me. It looks

amazing. Three of us riding on giant unicorns and there's a huge

explosion in the background. I've written in a speech bubble "Come on,

guys!" I've done my bit. When the script is written I'll improvise

over the toff of it so. -- top of it. Get your questions in for him

this hit topped the charts in today's Deja View.

My name is Dan Gallacher. Alex. Nice to meet you. What is your

connection here? I'm an editor. You? I do all your legal work. I

haven't seen you around their office, though. I've just been with

them a couple of weeks. I have to go. Is that your wife? Yeah. Better

run along. It was very nice to meet Proper scary film that, when that

came out. Very scary. I still like that film. Now, you remember

certain parts and think urgh. That's where the expression bunny

boiler came from, isn't it? Yes. think that's erm... '88, somewhere

around then. I'm going '86. Earlier. I don't know. OK, photo

time. So, starting off with Nicola and Angela, that love that we're

talking about, rid of football hatred, Chelsea and football.

I become King. Go on, carry on. Then we have Michael and Ashley

Clarke, newly married, it's the first time Michael has used a

Something For The Weekend recipe. Note the lovely hearts. Is that

hair or a hat? I couldn't decide that whether he is wearing a a

beanie because he is cool. This is Aaron from Stourbridge, with his

chicken pie. I love a man wearing a hat indoors. What's going on.

hop cooking. We have videos as well. Loving the videos. First of all,

James from Cardiff with a chicken pie he made. High, Something For

The Weekend, this is a fantastic pie my awesome wife baked for us on

Valentine's day. What's flavour the pie, baby? Pie flavour! Secondly,

we have Rachel and her brother and sister Jordan and with the dog. And

they made the cake. I have made the cheesecake for my brother and

sister. What do you think guys? Love it. My kids marked me on my

food every night I cook for them. Have you got up to 7 yet? I got an

eight last night for lamb chops. That's good. More importantly, from

our point of view, these are - make sure you are sitting down, the

photos of when we were young. Another one of me with hair. I have

a slight beard there as well. Isn't that lovely. In mum and dad's back

garden. Shiny trousers. Tim, I like this one of you. This is Tim in his

boy band phase. Look at this. What is that footie? That was a -- what

is that photo? That was a hairdresser friend of mine. I wish

I had that much hair now. This is the one. Check out Mr Wayne

photo. Where is that from? That's 24 years ago, I was 18 and it was

put forward for a Brill Cream ad which I didn't get. Started

modelling gloves after that. rat poison. You could have been the

new Nick Kaman. Check this out. Oh, it's gone. I love that. I want more

from Wayne next week. Brilliant. Tim, for our main course we are

going to coast cod with skordalia sauce. Garlic we have roasted, then

we have potatoes, lemon and ground almonds. That photo thing is really

depressing because we all used to be quite attractive when we were

younger. Look at the state of us now! Don't you think, at the time

when you maybe think you are all right, but then when you look back

you think oh, you know what, I was all right. Know what I mean? I was

looking good back in the day. we need to do first is potatoes we

boiled, into the ricer and this is a Greek-style sauce. It's almost a

light mashed potato to a certain extent. It needs - if you haven't

bought a potato ricer yet, this is the thing to do it with because you

need the potato to be really smooth. Ground almonds go in there. With

the garlic we roasted that, that has that lovely deep flavour and

it's nice and soft and chewy. Both? Yes, please. You can puree this

down and chop it. Chop that and stick that in and start beating the

potato and the flour together. How has the cycling gone this week?

have been ill, I haven't done any cycling. How long have you got to

do it? Until June, so not bad. that together. I have information

on Scarborough. This one says origins lie in the local fishermen

sorting ropes and nets at this time of year and giving the nets not to

use to children. If anyone has just tuned in, on Shrove Tuesday on

Scarborough they skip for some reason. It's good, everyone should

go skipping. Skipping day on Tuesday, kids get half day at

school too, says Kerry in Scarborough. That's pretty good for

kids. Keep going. Laura, I live in Scarborough and the kids still skip.

Apparently someone says everyone used to skip years ago, Scarborough

kept the tradition. Did you skip as a kid? I can't recall it. If you

keep beating that and we will drizzle in a bit of oil. I wonder

if there are other traditions that are not necessarily on Tuesday that

towns have that are particular to them, phus be. Isn't there

somewhere they put up scare crows all over the place? One day of the

week everyone sticks a scarecrow up outside their houses and things and

kids make that? Have I made that Something sticks in my mind, some

form of it. I remember in the States, in Virginia a town in the

front garden they all build little mini houses, that's what they do.

They might build a model of the White House or Graceland or

something. Out of what? Out of whatever they want. All the gardens

have this decoration. When we were there the headline in the locate p

paper was -- local paper was somebody had stolen the model

srelies -- Elvis at Graceland. You have acidity from the lemon, garlic

and potato and almonds. That's good. With the fish that will be

brilliant. We are going to use some of the fish juice as well. This is

for me still one of the nicest ways to cook fish. If you are worried

about cooking fish, whether it's cooked right enough, how to make it

tasty, simply pop cod skin side down in the middle. Cut the lemon

in half and squeeze that over. Stick the parsley on top of it.

Don't even need to chop it. Then once you have done that, salt and

pepper and dot the top of it with a few bits of butter. Then roughly

wrap it. What you want is almost sort of a pasty shape so plenty of

air. Do the corners. Do it across and you can get more in there. Get

it together so it's all sealed, so nothing comes out of it and you are

steaming it. It makes for the most delicious flavour. It's a simple

way for fish. That goes in for eight minutes. Tomatoes, cut in

half, slice garlic, and roast them. So you semi dry them. The tomatoes

end up like that. You bring out the flavour. You know that thing we say,

tomatoes don't taste of anything any more, this is the way you bring

loads of flavour out. That all goes in. Then bring out our fish. If you

wanted to do this and wrap it in baking Parchment you could serve

this at the table and when you open it you get this delicious smell.

This opens up and we have all the butter, all of the lemon, it's

quite fantastic from a smell point of view. Then we have a little bit

of that juice into our sauce. This brings all those flavours together.

It's got all the delicious fishy flavours in there. Classic

combination of fish and potato. Fish and chips. To serve a little

spoonful of the sauce. Then set one tomato, because they're quite

intense from a flavour point of view, we scoop up our lovely bit of

cod and sit that on the top. Then a few flaked almonds on top.

Watercress to make it look pretty. Ladies and gentlemen, dig in.

after you. You get that slight nuttiness, delicious flavour of the

cod and fruitiness of the tomato. That's really nice. It is. It's

fresh. You sound shocked. No, I really like - what's the stuff

called underneath it. Skordalia sauce. It's not really a sauce,

though? It's more like a - soft mashed potato. Very nice. Why are

you looking at the time? Can we hurry up! I was wondering, I

haven't had breakfast. I am OK to eat that. I am on a tight LA

schedule, with the diet you have to have certain things. Rhys will be

cooking dessert. A chocolate cake which fits in with your diet, I

think. What time is that? About 12 minutes. I can have a bit of that.

You can find all of today's recipes on our website. Keep your e-mails

and questions for Rhys and Helen coming in or tweet them. Amazing.

New comedy now which follows two teenagers trying to come to terms

with impending parenthood. This is It's a bit awkward, isn't it?

Laura? I think you have got the wrong table. Sorry. Hi.

How old are you? 16. Oh my... And you can watch the first part of

Pramface on Thursday 9.00 on BBC Three. Our next guest is a blue

presenter presenter. She's here to talk about her latest challenge.

Here are a couple of others that Absolutely incredible. Welcome to

Something For The Weekend, Helen Skelton. Nice to see you, Helen. We

will talk about your latest polar challenge in a second. We saw

footage there of your kayaking the Amazon and high wires. Talk us

through those, you kayaked 2,010 miles. For me ignorance is bliss,

when somebody said let's do a big challenge for Sport Relief and I

said well everyone knows the Amazon, why don't I kayak that? I had no

idea what that involved. The more people said you can't do that

because you don't know anything about the environment, I thought

why can't I? There was no reason to say I couldn't do it. There were

lots of things to say it would be difficult. Ignorance is bliss and

that's why I went along. What were the things that were dangerous,

apart from the physical element of it? Could things eat you and people

kill you? Well, yeah. All kinds of diseases. The things about the

Amazon people don't know everything out there. There are fish and

species skill being discovered, -- still being discovered. There had

been a crew out there a couple of years before and the director had

got ill and that was a concern. As we got towards the end of the

stretch I was doing there was a risk of pirates, we had so park in

certain places at night. It was dangerous, but it was do-able.

must have been massively physically demanding as well because of the

heat, because you were on your own paddling. Your hands must have been

blistered? Yeah, covered, blisters all down my thumbs. I was out there

16 hours a day. We knew I had to go from A to B and my boss said, bless

him, he will be watching, Tom, sorry to stitch you up, he said it

doesn't mat tper you finish, get back in time for Blue Peter. We

divided the total distance by days we had and I had to do 78 miles a

day. I was out there all day and I used to get into the boat at night

and just collapse and sort of lying all pathetic like I can't do it.

But once you have had a bit of sleep you get up. Tell bus the high

wire. -- tell us about the high No you're brave. I wanted to do

something different. I knew I had to do a stunt rather than an

endurance challenge. I'd seen man on wire, so I went with it. I had

to have an ear piece to remind me to breathe. I would do about ten or

15 paces and be like... So I had to remind myself to breathe every

three steps and that's how I got through it, one, two, three. Is it

true you didn't want to wear the harness for the challenge. But your

poor mum, so you thought I'd better stick it on. The thing is, high

wire artists are very precious about what they do. I didn't want

to disrespect what they were doing. I knew some people would be

questioning what I was going to do if I wore a harness. I wanted to do

it without the harness to prove... What?! Are you mental? You want to

do it properly, don't you? Wasn't it 10mm the thickness of the

wire you were walking on. It's like a line of ten pence pieces. Your

latest challenge is impress as well. You've gone to the South Pole.

How many miles is that? Over 500 miles for the challenge, we went

out and did training before. So I did nearly 200 in the training as

well. You broke it up into three different ways of getting to the

South Pole. Talk us through what happened because you wents on a

pike and you broke, you had a Guinness record, you broke a world

record as well. We are doing this for Sport Relief, but for Blue

Peter as well. In order to make telly that children wanted to watch,

we had to interdeuce things that they could paem thighs with. We --

empathise with. We decided to use the bike. I'm not sure we've blazed

a trail for bikes in snow. How does the bike work, is it efficient?

On the kites we could do 40 miles a day. On the bike, if we did 15 to

20 miles a day we were pleased. Could you walk faster than biking

it? At times, yeah. There were patches of blue ice, it was just

comedy. I thought it was hard, we could cycle it. No, Helen, you can

just slip. You must have felt quite lonely. The scenery probably

beautiful but very samey after a while and so, so cold. Where does

the iron will come from? It's so cold, nothing lives out. There

there's nothing to break up your distraction. The daft thing was on

the Amazon, all my telly bosses said oh, yeah Helen gets moral

support from the crew. On this one, keep her apart from the crew, so

obviously, even though I like to chat and have a-and stuff, so you

get all that from the cameraman and sound man and stuff. In Antarctica

they were separate to me. They had real food. Because they could carry

stuff in the car. They were having steak. They were in a car? Yeah! I

would be ten metres from them in my tent, melting snow and making this

like, dehydrated goo loosh stuff. You could smell it. I was like,

enjoy it boys -- goo lash. -- goulas sh. This can only be

That's you training? Yeah. When you were training did you think "I'm

never going to make this." It's totally new to me. Same thing, do I

want to go to the South Pole? Yeah, that would be brilliant. Didn't

think about camping every night in as low as minus 50, putting up a

tent in a storm. I don't camp in the UK. It's good fun. Well I'm not

camping for a while, I don't care what anyone says. You say that

every time I'm here. You want to come with me next time, you'll

enjoy it. All right. Just explain how cold it is, you were telling us

what happens if your too cold. Everything freezes. The only reason

I cut my hair, I had long hair before I went, it was snapping off.

It was just coming out. Your toothpaste freezes. Water, because

we were exercising, you need water. I knew that I was dehydrated but my

water was frozen solid. I was too embarrassed to admit it. I used to

hide it. It takes you hours to melt that water, so having a cup of tea

takes three hours. You become so precious about everything. I

knocked over a cup of tea one night and I went absolutely nuts. How do

you go to the toilet? You have to dig a hole and use a very tightly

sealed sandwich bag. You can't get your bare skin out. No, if you went

to a loo, sorry to talk about this on a Sunday morning, if you went to

the loo down there, it would just be there. We saw you dragging your

luggage behind you, that was 12 stone on its own. I mean, you're

only a little one, how do you manage it? Did you have any

concessions, were you allowed to take anything? In the end we

started, because at first we put our stuff on the sledges, we were

dragging the bikes. In the end, we gave the bikes to the crew. We

weren't going to use them again. It was 25 kilograms of metal. We

handed them over. That was our get out of jail free. Do you have to

learn to do everything with mittens on? Yeah and the mittens for kite

skiing are like oven gloves. That's frustrating, putting up a tent in

oven gloves and you have a harness on and rolling out kite lines,

frustrating. Where do you go from here then. That is a remarkable

challenge. I think you're amazing. What you've done is amazing. What

are you doing next? What's next? For me, I always think we have to

do something for the audience that's different. We've done desert,

cold, I haven't done anything on an ocean, that would be good. I

haven't done anything in a team. I've got to be honest. I'm sick of

training on my own. A team thing would be good. I mean, first things

first, I'm enjoying being back. The thing is you train, so you're

selfish with your time. The four months run up to it, I spent no

time with family or friends. I was away with Christmas and new years.

I want to see them and have a bit of mummy maintenance. Maybe our

viewers could suggest some ideas for you now. Tweet in @SFTW and see

what they come up with. How was the kite skiing? Wicked when you can do

it. I have scars on my hips from learning.

You didn't have long to learn, did you? I got the go ahead if August.

I left in December. Wow. Absolutely amazing. Really G right, Helen's

staying to cook. Where can we watch this by the way? Monday afternoon,

CBBC at 4.30pm and the week before Sport Relief we will have a BBC One

special as well. Helen is cooking our last dish with Simon. If you

still want to ask her or our other guest anything, tweet us@SFTW or e-

mail viate website. Maybe come up with ideas for what Helen should do

next. And all of this is still to come: Mason asks his dad an awkward

question in Prisoners' Wives. this a prison? Simon serves up

baked Cuban chicken and rice. Ben Fogle gets up close and

personal in swimming with crocodiles. This has got to be one

of the most extraordinary encounters. Also still to come, our

gadget girl is Nicky Moore with the best of new things, including this

radio controlled helicopter, which everyone who enjoys gadget roulette

will know that before the show we gave it a go and it was pretty hit-

and-miss. You might enjoy that later as to whether we'll get that

working. We're joined by Rhys in the kitchen. How is your cooking?

How is my cooking? Depends what situation we're in. Kitchen one?

we're in a field and being attacked, I'm handy on the phone. But yeah,

in the kitchen, I haven't done a lot of work there for a few years

now. I've got a wonderful wife and a nanny. They're both great cooks.

What's the food like in New Zealand, it's all beetroot and weird stuff

isn't it? It's not all beetroot. Typical of you, English! It's

amazing. Beetroot is only one, we have all different sorts of foods.

We like putting beetroot in burgers. You do, don't you. I think it's

because our beetroot is amazing. It's very beety.

LAUGHTER We've got tomatoes, you name it,

we've got it. Name something. Lamb. Course we've got lamb! It's

the main thing we've got. That's the biggest thing. You were in the

army in New Zealand? That's right. What did you get up to? A lot of,

we didn't have grenades, we used to throw beetroot. Watch out! The best

thing is when it hits you the stain, you know, you think you've been

shot. Is that real or is that beetroot. Also beetroot in New

Zealand, if you get it in your skin, it's you know, it's there for life.

A lot of people think oh, you have a birth mark, no, it's beetroot,

bit of an issue in the kitchen. I was actually a radio operator, so

I'd walk around with a radio on my back and morse code, I was one of

the last... How long were you in the army for? Three-and-a-half

years before I realise today was a proper job and stuff could happen

that I wouldn't like. These guns real are they? Yeah we're heading

off now. Oh, OK, I think I'll leave it then. I just liked the dressing

up part. Put the helmet on, look, I'm in the army. You actually are

in the army mate. I know. Am I? Woo-hoo! I enjoyed it. I'm an

outdoors guy. We've got to cook something. We're make chocolate

mousse cake. Egg whites whisked with sugar, ek yolks, sugar, orange

liqueur, whipped cream, melting liqueur, whipped cream, melting

chocolate, pouring cream. First job. Tip in the sugar and beat that

around. Whisk that first and orange liqueur. Pour that in there.

beat this for a little while to get volume in there. And this is a

whisk isn't it? You've got it. Now you have got that combined. Tip in

the chocolate. Then give that a beat around as well. I'll add

whipping cream. Where are you based now? In LA? It's easier there. It's

a halfway point. You have your own method, that's cool. It's a

Northern Hemisphere thing. LA is literally between here and I

actually don't know where it is! It's nice a sunny there any way,

that's all I can tell you. Your kids are going to grow up in

America. They will grow up, yes. We confirm it, they will grow up.

Unfortunately. In an American lifestyle. I don't know. Not in New

Zealand ways. No... Now fold. of folding. You know I'm not saying

that we're there permanently. We still have a house in New Zealand.

We're really share our time between these three great nations. And

Australia now and again, but you know, just for a laugh. But of a

nomad I guess. The kids are definitely getting a kick out of

seeing all the different cultures and learning all the different

languages, mainly English. Different words, different spelling

of course. They don't use the word rubbish bin in America. "Where's

your rubbish bin?" They call it trash you see. We're all learning

different things. You have another TV show starting here, haven't you?

Oh, have I? Yeah. I'm cooking things. I'm over here doing a brand

new show called Mad Mad World, ITV1. It's a panel show, Saturday night,

it's a hybrid between panel and sort of performance Saturday night

craziness. It's a lot of fun. I'm really enjoying it. What's that?

Now egg white. This first bit you can be vicious for a second. With

this thing? Yeah. You, get in there! You're breaking down that

quite heavy mouse to get lightness from the egg white. When that first

bit is in, we go back to gentle the rest of it. Now just fold this

in. We are making a light mousse. Fast and yet gentle. I would like

to ask, says James, if he's been monster hunting whilst in the UK as

I know he likes cryptor-zoology, what's that? That's the study of

hidden animals. Animals that have not been scientifically categorised.

So things like Big Foot, lock necessary monster -- Loch Ness

monster. Did you see that photo of the mammoth... I forwarded it.

you think it was a bear holding a fish? I hoped it was a mammoth, we

live in hope and then we find out the truth and go oh, not again!

Yeah, very much did look like a mammoth. Does Nessie live, you

think? I am not sure about. Foot? I am a Big Foot fan.

think does exist. Not just one, there's thousands of them. Where?

That's gorgeous. Where? You don't know where they are? No. North

America. Canada. Why can't we find them? What's happened? Because

they're hiding. Here's the thing, they can smell us for miles away.

As soon as you go to look for them they can tell - they can sense us,

you know, thousands of metres away. They move. You know when they say

those words outside, does it sound the same to us? Really? You can

either believe or you don't believe. Why don't we find their homes?

There has been nests and imprints and mini footprints found. Because

they migrate and hard to keep track of. I have a theory, though, to

fine them, we need to send in robots. They won't have the same

scent. They won't smell human cells -- smells. We need decent bush

walking robots and ones that don't make that... Because they'll hear

them. Silent bush walking robots. I am working on that at the moment. I

have done a few sketches. That goes in there and we make it. We end up

with this delicious mousse cake like that. I want to carry on

talking about monsters. I like this. I wish I had known earlier. We are

going to taste this. I like the idea there's things out there.

Absolutely. They keep finding new things and they go we didn't know

that existed. Dig in. Helen just said she thought the strawberries

were plastic. This bit you taste. Chocolate cake, Helen. Try some of

your cake. I made that. In New Zealand, we always wash our hands.

You have done well. It's good. Rhys' recipe, I just helped. It's

an old recipe, about ten minutes old. What is Helen making? A Cuban

baked rice and chicken with us. love cooking! I will be with you,

don't worry. Two experts! As lent starts on Wednesday Wayne is making

some use up your drinks cabinet cocktails. First, another chance to

# The news on Sunday newspaper is to be prosecuted for defying a

Government ban on publishing material from Peter Wright's book.

The form champion jockey Lester Piggott is beginning a jail

sentence for cheating the taxman... The Dutch Dutch -- Duchess of

winder's -- Windsor's jewels are to be sold...

# Never give you up, run around and Hi, darling. Darling, this is Alex.

Sorry, I have forgotten your last name. Alex Forest. This is my

husband, Dan. Hi, glad to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Haven't we met somewhere before? don't think so, no. No, we have.

Weren't you at that party at the Japanese place a few weeks ago?

Honey, the exercise book. Oh, yeah. You are a lawyer and you work for

the firm of, what's the name - anyway, we have definitely met.

You have a good memory. I never forget a face. It's a small world.

Rick Astley, what year was that? I went 86. 89 maybe. 87. We have

covered the lot there. It will be one of those. We will discover who

is the closest before the end of the show. Now it's time for

cocktails with Wayne. We have one classic twist... We showed a

picture of you earlier. Hang on a minute. Full modelling pose. Here

you go. This is you. Look at that! You are on the left. Can you do the

face, Wayne? I can't. I tell you what, you look

like Rick Astley in your picture. Here we are. Maybe more Matt Goss

really. Was that in the window of a hairdresser's? Yeah. Do you want to

talk about it? No, a previous life. The first drink we are going to use

- generally in drinks cabinet people have vermouth, bitters,

brandy and never really know what to do with it. I am going to make

one drink in three different different drinks by old school

classic, a measure each of sweet vermouth, with Italian bitters and

there you have got an Americano and add gin and it becomes an agrone. I

am going to sweeten it up more by adding cherry brandy over the top.

Wow! That used to be my drink in university, cherry brandy. With

what? Lemonade. You are joking! Are you serious? A twist of orange.

Where is the brandy? I want to smell that. It's a rich almond

character to it. That takes me back! You said there would be no

alcohol. Look at that. That's 24%. That's such a childish thing,

looking at the percentages. Just seeing how drunk you were getting -

what's that like? Wow! It's an acquired taste. But probably

something you would like, Tim. That's really good. One of them and

you would be on the floor. A proper drink. This one isn't. This has

fresh fruit. This is - if you want to give up booze for lent and don't

want to compromise the cocktail experience you can make lovely

drinks with fresh fruits. We have here raspberries and BlackBerries,

some syrup. You can use honey if you don't get the agave syrup.

Fresh lemon juice. Nice and cleansing. And cranberry. Simple

ingredients. Give it a good shake. And lovely

flavoursome fruity little punch. A bit more health conscious. You have

all the lovely fresh berries, all the goodness. Cleansing with the

lemon. It's a healthy mocktail. This will be good after your flu.

Exactly right. A couple of berries outside. Pretty. You go first. Use

your straw, though, in case you still have a bit of flu. You have

your five a day in there. This is the one. Thanks, Wayne. You can get

all the cocktail recipes on our website. Time for the next

instalment of the drama based in the khreupbg and -- clink and Lou

doesn't want to ruin Mason's illusion of exactly where his dad

is. This is Prisoners' Wives. Get off me! Move it. Tell us about

school, what have you been doing? Is this a prison? Of course it's

not. Who's been saying that? Remember what I told you, not to be

listening to stupid daft tales at school. You are not to take any

flaming notice. Sean, tell him. No. I told you, didn't I, I knew

this would happen. I knew it. Come on. No, not now. Two more weeks and

it's over. Please, two more. It's too late. You can't stick your head

in the sand. Stop it now. Hey, we have to deal with it. No. Now, I

want to you listen, yeah. And you can see the next part of

Prisoners' Wives on Tuesday at 9.00 on BBC1. Our gadget expert today is

Nicki Moore. Congratulations, I assume that's a baby this there?

Yes, I hope so. If not I will be very worried. When are you due?

of April. Second baby, boy or girl? Most people are saying it's a boy,

but who knows. Why? The shape is different. With girls you are more

around the bum and girls -- and boys you are here. They come out

looking the same. Apart from the obvious bit. Silly me. You have

three gadgets today. First one, this is the Roberts Revival Cath

Kid stopb radio, covered with the pattern. Even though it has the

retro style, it has the DAB technology, greater choice of

channels and an FM radio and you can connect your smartphone or your

MP3 player as well. If you don't want to listen to the radio you can

listen to your music collection. We connected ours here. Going to play

a bit of Adele. She's done all right for herself! My friend wrote

this song. Really? Yeah. You have the controls on the top. You have

the volume here. It's decent quality. It goes quite loud. You

also have the LCD digital display as well. Turn that down. It's an

autotune feature and you can pre- set favourite channels as well and

you can run it off the mains or if you want to use the battery it has

up to 120 hours battery life. A decent radio. It looks pretty as

well. How sfp that? -- how much is that? Around �200. Roberts are

typically - looking at �150 for a non-limited edition. But they're

good quality and this is limited edition so the price has gone up.

OK. What is next? Next we have the LG Prada smartphone. Just been

launched. But it's the third collaboration with LG and Prada.

It's very slick. As you can see it has decent-sized screen and good

quality and the menus and icons are Prada influenced. All phones are

starting to look the same, aren't they? All the icons. If you -

around the back. You have the signature Prada styling, if people

are familiar with their products, this is their leather finish. You

have the logo. It's slim. Only 8.5 milimetres. It also has LG's

floating mass technology. Do we think there will be more of these

tie-ins with designers to shift phones? It's been going on for a

while. They do have collaborations with designers, but this phone is a

decent phone. It's has a camera, eight gig of storage. The if you

want something that's designed and you are into your Prada, that's

what sets it apart. How much is that? It's free on your contract,

so check various network providers tpwou buy it as a sim-free around

�430. But that's what you get for Now will these work. You have two

missile launchers. I have missiles in there. Two launchers and it

comes with six missiles, tiny missiles. What's special about this

is you can operate it using Anand droid or Apple smartphone or tablet.

droid or Apple smartphone or tablet. You can use the display to use the

helicopter. The slider allows you to take off. You have a virtual joy

stick and two firing buttons to shoot me with your missiles. Sounds

a bit rude. There you go, you basically, sorry, if you start to

take off. We'll have a go. I've done it. And go! Oh, there's a

Here we go. You're off! Whoa! Come down, come down. Good catch. That

allows you to fly it, shoot your missile. You can record and store

up to three flight plans on your app. Why isn't mine working. Fly!

Whoa! There you go. Here we go. Oh, yeah, you fly it and you can land

it gently on your knee. Careful! Nurse! Death by helicopter. It's a

bit of fun. Use your smartphone to control it. Where is mine? Here it

goes. Yours is �45. Here we go, look. Oh, hello. That one is �45,

there you go. It has an autoland feature as well. They're for indoor

use only. They're a loft -- a lot of fun. Have you got a plaster?

for yours, and mine is �35. You do need to practise. Thanks Nicky. For

more information e-mail us via our website and we'll get back to you.

Ben Fogle heads to southern Africa to join a research study with the

aim of swimming alongside Nile predators. It is swimming with

predators. It is swimming with crocodiles.

Crocodiles have roamed the earth for over 100 million years. Yet

much of their lives remain a mystery. Look at the size of

crocodile there. These giant reptiles kill hundreds of people in

Africa every year. That was really quick. That was like a gun. To help

reduce attacks, we need to understand their behaviour. It's

30cms below him watching him and it just snapped. It went like that. It

was ridiculous. I'm in Botswana, joining a research team, who, for

the first time ever, will attempt to study them under water. If

successful, the expedition could revolutionise our understanding of

these majestic creatures. This is going to be one of the most

jordnaer -- extraordinary encounters I've ever had. But it's

fraught with risk. Came right behind us. I had to use the camera.

You can see the first part of swimming with crocodiles tonight at

9pm on BBC Two and BBC Two HD. Helen is with us. I have to warn

you, you have two novices in the kitchen. That's fine. What are we

doing? A Cuban flavoured chicken and rice dish. Chicken, any

sausages, we have lamb sausages which are spicy, but anything, a

cheap old pork banger is fine, but a nice, meaty, juicy one is good.

Mwah. I always say that about my sausages. I expect that on Blue

Peter. Then oregano, white pepper, cumin, paprika, onion powder, brown

sugar, garlic powder, rum, stock, short grain rice, butter and then

onion, garlic, carrot, tomatoes and onion, garlic, carrot, tomatoes and

a tin of mixed beans. That kind of rice and beans and spice are

popular. First job for you is to tip all of those into there. I like

the idea of cooking. I think it's just... Shall I share the story you

told me in the make up room. Helen said, "Oh, I moved to Manchester.

My friends came over and noticed that my pans were sill in

cellophane. You've only just moved. That's fair enough. But when Dubai

the pans? About two -- When did you buy the pans? About two years ago.

Quick stuff is the thing to do. Never any excuse. Now mix that with

the bag of the spoon. The sugar is quite hard. Ours has been sitting

around a bit. Get the salt in there. All we're doing is just, the soil

is just giving it lubrication. That will work well with the chicken.

Mix, mix. You can even add... everyone uses oil in cooking, can

you use anything else that's not as fatty. Why? Why would you want to?

Yes you could, if you didn't want the oil, you could add water, stock

and that will soften it. We're bringing them together. The oil

acts as a nice lubricant and brings out the flavour. In goes the

chicken. Stir that round. Obviously, we're rattling through this. You'd

take your time. How long would you want to leave the chicken? Not at

all. This is a dry rub. We're coating the chicken. Think of it in

terms of putting a breadcrumb on it or something. We're going to cook

it, we have a nice, warm pan here. You can see because maybe you have

a few lumps in there. I'm working it ou. Mash them in. Says the

expert. Let's pretend those lumps aren't there, or we'll fall off air.

Our chicken goes into our nice warm pan and these lovely things here.

We are sealing the chicken and cooking out the spices. You're not

looking to cook the chicken because you don't want to burn the spices.

How am I going to get you to chop things? We're modern women. Let me

grab this knife. Onion here. said when you were in the Arctic

you didn't have food like this and you had some kind of high calorie

stuff. The thing is this has changed the way I look at food.

Because when you have to exercise 14, 16 hours a day, you need the

calories. It's like putting fuel in a car. Plenty of women and men look

at food and think you want the biggest amount of food for the

fewest calories but it's the opposite out there. We were looking

at chocolate bars and saying there's not enough calories in that.

Let's have a fruit and nut instead. You need the calories. How many

calories would you eat a day? need to eat more than, well minimum

3,000, if you can take in 6,000. So you're eating chocolate, cheese. I

thought I'd never eat chocolate again after Antarctica, but that

was delicious. It's like being in the forces. You have to pack it in.

You have to get loads an loads in there. But does it have to be c ra

b based or just calories? Fat. Because that keeps you warm as well.

Nuts? Chocolate and cheese. We had a bag of chocolate, cheese, then a

bag of jelly sweets, dried fruit, mango, things like that. That would

sound like some girls' dream but it was a necessity. Yeah, you do get a

bit, you crave, I was craving an apple. Because there's thr was

nothing fresh, nothing with any texture. The food we added water to,

it was like those boil in a bag porridgey meals. You want something

with crunch and texture. Carrots in there. Onion in there. Do you want

the garlic small? Yeah. Oh. As long as it's edible that's all that

matters. They go in there. Our sausages, that we've sealed them

off, give them colour more than anything. That goes in and we add

the rice goes in. You've not cooked that? Not cooked at all at the

moment. We're going to bake it. Stir that round. Nothing gets by me.

No. On the ball. This is a short grain rice. As it cooks it will

become quite sticky, which is what we want. Almost like a pudding rice,

so it's nearly that stage. That looks good actually. This is a

really simple dish. You could do this, Helen and Alex, you could do

this. Half of the rice mix into there. Your next challenge should

be actually cooking. I know. That's the one thing you seem to be

struggling with. Well, I tell everyone I can do a chilli, but my

friends say they've never seen this famous chilli. Flatten that down

and then we get our chicken, now you cook it for a little longer. Sa

a sniff of that. That smells really good. That's quite, deep, rich,

heady flavour which is what we want. The chicken goes into the middle.

We have the nice charring on that side. Spoon the rest of the rice

offer the top of that. Shall I do that? We have a layered rice dish

at the moment. We spread that ou. - - out. Then we have a bit of rum.

Rum goes into our stock. Oohhh! She perks up. You could leave that out.

Not that either of you would. Pour all the stock and rum over the top.

We've had some suggestions for challenges, would you like to hear

some? Sail from the Falklands to Iceland. Lots of sailing ones

across the Atlantic. Pedalo the Atlantic. We like that one.

Somebody has suggested you and I go across the Pacific. OK. We can chat

about it. I like that. A bit of butter to give richness into our

dish. We sit the butter on the top. We cover it, stick it in the oven

for about half an hour. All we're looking to do is to actually bake

the rice, OK? When it comeles out we've got all of those lovely

Cubany flavours that we talked about. That one in? Thank you.

Here's one I made earlier! He had to get that in. All this delicious,

sticky rice we scoop that out. The chick anyone the middle, the beans,

the sausage, all those amazing Cuban flavours in there. Then to

finish it, you are liking the look of this. You have to get the right

rice. Short grain rice. Can you do it long grain, but short grain goes

sticky or use risotto rice. Stick that on top, a bit of parsley.

Finish it with a swirl of chilli sauce, job's a good 'un. Shall we

go to the table? Where would you like me? Deja View, we're having a
