21/08/2011 Something for the Weekend

Hello, good morning. Welcome to the programme. It's 10 o'clock. We are

joined live by National, the treasures of Vic Reeves and Bob

Mortimer. As if that wasn't enough, we also have singer, songwriter,

actor and great British celebrity Will Young. They are here to meet

some have it, do some cooking and take a look at next week's

Good morning. Welcome to Something For The Weekend. Louise is back!

How many months were you off for? knew that I'd get stick today.

People stop me and say it in the street now, those boys give you a

really hard time. I went on my holidays to Majorca. Any good?

Lovely, great for the kids. Shopping? No. I didn't go shopping

once a. You've just come back? was in Norway. Nice? Brilliant.

Lovely place. Nice people, good place. What was the weather like?

It was good. It was warm, cloudy, bit of rain. Everything that I like.

It was good, cloudy, rain! Variation, that's what I like. We

went fishing, we went water-skiing, the whole shebang. I tasted water

from deep fiords. Would you recommend it? Yes. Beautiful place?

Yes, if you like nature. It was a big week in... Television terms,

this week. All of the big shows started. Big Brother, did you see

that? It I did, I watched a bit last night. I'm not the biggest fan,

to be honest. I found it a little bit hard going, to be honest. I

think you have to like someone in it or hate somebody in it. I don't

think I am anywhere in any of them. I watched the contestants... Well,

you don't really call them contestants, the celebrities going

in. I haven't seen it since. looking at these celebrities. Tara

Reid. She is probably the most famous. I went on holiday with her

once. Well... She was in the same place I was staying. Did you talk

to her? Do you know what? Do you know what, what? Well, she was

drinking habit and she gave my daughter's bracelets. That's nice.

My daughter has made the world They were hanging out with her,

they were, like, she's getting broody! Everybody says the same

thing, there are no celebrities, and then everybody gets into it.

What is weird this week is that they're not two wives of people.

It's odd. Wives?! You are famous because he was someone's wife, and

then you get in. X Factor, last night. Did you see that? I didn't

see it. I liked it. The highlight for me was Gary Barlow. I thought

he was brilliant. Everybody thinks he's a bit boring. I thought he was

brilliant. I saw the end, where the little lad ended up having a go at

them all. The producers know that he's not very good and he's been

told he's good, to get up there and get an audition. Everybody knew

that was going to happen. Then he becomes famous. Is it a good thing?

He's in the papers, is it good to be famous for the wrong thing or

not at all? I found it depressing. I think giving him airtime, I

didn't like it. It should be about talent. He has no talent.

people laugh. People love it. Entertainment. I want positives,

not negatives. Embrace the positive. I agree, embrace the positive!

Following his success on stage and screen, Will Young is back doing

what made him famous, a new single and a new sound. Vic Reeves and Bob

Mortimer are here to talk about what makes their comedy brains work

and the latest series of Shooting Stars. If you've got something you

want to ask or say to Vic and Bob,, the royalty, as we all know, if

there is a question you have always thought you'd like to ask them,

then... I think we've got some here, but I don't think they are

particularly good. It would be good to have some more. Will Young, as

well as a singer and actor, he's also into politics. He's been on

Question Time, we will show you a bit of that later. If you got a

question for him, maybe politics, senders and e-mail or get in touch

through Twitter. -- send us an e- mail.

What are we making today? Now that you are back, we can get a proper

food. Starting, beef tataki. Its Japanese marinaded beef fillet. A

very bare Beith, a very rare beef and fresh salad. And then we have

the mirin glaze sea bass. That is Japanese rice wine vinegar. We've

got pak choi, coconut rice, green Thai curry sauce. Nights. Good

shot! Desert is Dulce de Leche up brownies. That is condensed milk

that you boil up and it becomes thick and like caramel. Is that

what you used for banana and toffee pie? A can of condensed milk, you

boil it away and it thickens and you get that delicious toffee. Or

you can buy at already made, probably easier. Is it calorific?

Speaking of which... Corn dogs. They are hot dogs, wrapped in

polenta, flour and eggs and then deep-fried. I'd never tried one of

those, I want to try one. When we were in California, I tried them. I

know they are really bad for you, but there's something nice about

them. Sometimes you got to have something bad for you, you've just

got to. So we are doing that. the recipes can be found on the

website. Here is what else is happening between now and 11:30am.

More victims, more laughs and more Shooting Stars. You can see the

question, you can read it out yourself. Go on! It is Jurassic TB

in Komodo: Secrets Of the Dragon. Dragons have an incredible sense of

smell, using their forked tongues to taste the air for odours. And a

right royal Trekkie in Harry's We have to be more careful, it can

Renaud van just break your leg. Simon has just said, I love Komodo

dragons! There you go! Are you going to giggle while I am trying

to do this? Sorry, Miss. Would it be one of your top five animals?

Yes. Donkeys and monkeys, obviously. I just wanted to say... Wait! I've

missed you, what are you making? got some Mediterranean-style drinks.

If your palate leans towards more a bitter, dry, refreshing drink, I've

got some really tantalising ones. It's hard to smile for him today.

It yes, he's an Arsenal fan. They didn't do very well yesterday.

Simon is a Liverpool fan, a bit of tension in the studio. We're going

to cook beef? Beef tataki. Japanese marinade beef. Salad accompaniments,

shallot, cucumber, pickled ginger, beansprouts and watercress. The

marinade is brown sugar, shallots, soy sauce, ginger, garlic. Similar

ingredients for the salad. Lehman, this time, sugar and chilli. --

lemon. If you are someone who only likes the beef cooked right the way

through, if you marinaded in this way, it's probably the best way to

sample it without it being cooked through. What they don't like about

steered beef is that you get the bloody mess of it. Because we

marinade this and then let it go cold, all of the juice sets, so you

get delicious flavour, rather than it being bloody. It's not blood, is

it? No... Well, yes, it is. But I watched it on QI, what is it?

doubting myself now. I can't get involved, I've got no idea.

thought they said it wasn't. I don't know, maybe someone could...

I could be wrong. It's a first, but I could be wrong. When you cook it,

is it blood, or is it just uses? Send us a tweet. Surely, it's got

to be blood? Unless Stephen Fry was We asked hearing this, I need you

to cut that in half down the middle, very finely sliced shallots. We got

to start grating the ginger and I'll crush the garlic. For the

dressing, if he would like to chop that chilli. Everything goes into

that bowl. The soy sauce, the vinegar... And by doing rains?

doesn't really matter. You can cut it in half and do it quite finely.

Whichever you feel is the creative way to do it. Just finely chop.

went fishing in Norway. I'm not really into fishing. Well, I didn't

think I was. But it's really fun if you go out on a boat out to sea.

Have you done that, sea fishing? It's amazing. It's really good fun,

a couple of cans of beer, we caught mackerel and some cod. My kids got

into it, they caught the food, killed it and then they cooked it.

To actually see the whole process, it's quite good. What else did you

eat that was good? We caught crabs, we ate them as well. I ate brown

cheese. It tastes a bit like Dulce de Leche. It's got a really sweet

flavour. Something I love is called It's a traditional meal that they

have won Thursday's. It's like when we have fish and chips on Friday.

It's a dumpling. They cook it with smoked pork and stuff. It's quite

stodgy, but it's delicious. Should we make it? We should, it's

delicious and I liked it a lot. Anything like dumplings is nice.

It's quite comforting food. Norway was do particularly rich country

until it found its oil. I think it was... I don't know, what poorer

people used to meet tough on themselves up -- to -- used to eat

to fill themselves up. There's incredible fish over there, we ate

in a restaurant and the guy that owned it said he had a real treat.

He brought out boiled cauliflower. They struggle to grow vegetables.

He thought it was such a treat. We are going, you know... Up we had

Just to recap, we've got lime, shallots, lime, ginger, a really

nice marinade. Is that fine enough? That's perfect. The lemon zest in

there, that is the dressing For Allah salads. These things are

separate. Pour the marinade into there. This is a little bit strange.

We really want to work all of these flavours into this. Our lovely

piece of beef goes into there. We zip up the bank... Well, we don't

Then we work that marinade into the beef. Kobe beef, which they massage

the cow was, we are kind of doing Do you just think, what can we get

Louise and Tim to do? Massage some There is a genuine reason for doing

that. You want to work as much of the flavour into the fibres of the

meat. Then we let it go completely cold. When it is cold, put it in

the fridge and trill it down. If he can do this a day in advance, it

really makes for some delicious flavour. A minimum of two hours, I

would say, for it to marinade. I'm just going to slice up bits and

bobs for the salad. A minimum of two hours? So you get some flavour

in there. Ideally, overnight. If you fancy this, have at 40 tomorrow,

rather than today. For the salad, a I led the way the Spanish beat. It

is all about sharing. -- eat. You pick at what is in the middle of

the table. I love it. You are going to look back at yourself in 10

years, massaging Sam meat in a bag and think, what was I doing?

next thing we do is, we have marinaded this overnight. The stuff

really find slicing. As fine as you can without it falling apart. If

you start to cook like that and he pinched the beat, you will find it

holds bit tighter. -- you pinch the beef. As much of that slicing as

you can. If ever you're going to eat meat, today is the day. Did I

put enough lemon in there? I always get and it will do. It is probably

enough. We have ginger, shallots, bean sprouts. That looks lovely.

The presentation is key when you are having a dinner party.

serve this on a board so everyone can dig into it rather than having

little bits for everybody. Stick it on. Your days of growing up in

Liverpool. That does look fab. this of marinated shallot sits on

there. It is one of the nicest things we had cooked on the show.

That is heaven. It will last a good while. What a remaking for the main

course? Mirin Glazed Sea Bass. That is up there with the Komodo dragon.

All of the recipes are on the website. This is amazing. What game

show has barely any rules, celebrities who line up to be

outgunned and hosts who seemed to enjoy themselves more than they

really should? The answer is Shooting Stars. Your question is

going to be delivered to you by Archie Andrews, a new friend to the

show. He is a lovely friend of ours. That is it, Archie. On the other

side is a question for you to read out. You can read it out yourself.

I am not reading that. You can read it out yourself. Is it true or

false, so there is black? It is Bowles. -- false. You can watch

that episode on Monday on BBC Two. The main men are here with us now.

Hello. How are you? Very well indeed. How is the show going?

has been really well received. We must have learned something

different. Eight series over how many years? We reckon 16 years.

1993, whatever that is. industry keeps changing. When you

do another series, do you think, we need to do something different.

has dancing girls in an Boys and stuff. It is exciting. -- and boys.

George Doors was such a big person and Angelos is a funny guy. He

seems to have developed a life of his own on the show. It is quite

nice because you do incorporate the music and the dancing girls. It

makes something for everyone. There are some things in there which are

interesting and entertaining. other words, if you do not like us!

A lot of shows are gag after gag. Shooting Stars is full on

entertainment. It is everything. is jam-packed with than and

laughter. If anybody doesn't know what we are talking about with

A quick change! We wrote that for us to do. We were going to do that

and then we are offered it to Angelos to do. He has the best body.

Is there any format to the show when you sit and write it? Do you

think, we need a song and...? Absolutely. We work on different

sections. Music has always been a big part of your act. Not many

comedians do that. You do the singing and dancing and the comedy.

We are old fashioned like that. We do not explain what is going on to

the public. We have a song and dance in an old-fashioned way.

do not say, do you remember when you were growing up? John Clements

has said, who has been your biggest comedy inspiration? You have

created a whole new type. I did not watch television. I liked spike

Milligan. He was not allowed on the television much towards the end of

his career. When he was, it was always a treat. Tommy Cooper as

well. Lock and Hardy. You have done a load of stuff on the internet.

What are they called? Afternoon delights. You should see them

online. They are very good. It is a weird thing that people are having

to move on to the internet. Everything you did was watched...

It was two channels. Is that the way we are going? I think

everything is going on the internet. You have a computer, don't you, at

home? Do you enjoy it? The only problem is it is too high. Millions

have watched it so that probably is the future. Less and less people

are watching it on the television. It must be frustrating when you do

not get a television slot and you think, I'll stick it on the

internet. Yes, anyone can do it. We did 21. That was won a day Padang a

month. So many people were tuning They are all made up as we go along.

People think we are making Shooting Stars up. One big difference is

that we learn the scripts. Everything we say is scripted. We

learn it. There is not that the Lions on the autocue. -- reliance.

Oliver says, would you ever do another sitcom? We are going to

bring back On The Buses. Who do you have on this series of Shooting

Stars? We had Jimmy Anderson on tomorrow. With a bit of luck he

will be a big star. You get good names. People want to come on and

be part of it, don't they? John Humphrys from Mastermind is very

good. Has anyone not got it? Sat there and thought, I am not getting

less. Occasionally you have that. We do not really allow people to

say much. It is the highlight of my career being on the show. And mine.

It really was a long time ago. and Bob are not going to go

anywhere. They're going to do some cooking and help out with games and

gadgets. E-mail on the website. Please tell us your name. When I

was on holiday, I'm missed this, trying to guess the year from the

music and news stories. Here it is, # Don't leave me this way.

know what I saw?! I saw the most amazing thing in Norway. You know

what it was? A cruise ship. I've never seen one before. You've never

seen a cruise ship? They are massive. It's like a town!

Unbelievable. Incredible. We oil the fish, rather than the pan.

We've left it out at room temperature. I never liked the idea

of going out on a cruise. desperate to look inside one. It's

so big. Apparently Gara swimming pools and everything. The idea of

being confined in one space, while you kind of... With 10,000 people

you don't know? Yeah, I struggle enough being at home with my family,

never mind with 10,000 people you don't know. Into the pan, skin-side

down. When I was on shooting Stars, they said to me, true or false, no

man has ever enjoyed a family holiday. True or false? False!

Whereof I going? So skin-side down. Because it at room temperature, it

doesn't arch its back. If it goes in cold, it will. This way, we cook

it evenly. Back over two of the board, coconut rice, really simple

to do. What we are going to do... It seems weird when we do that.

When I am here, you are there. It just felt odd for a moment. Proves

ships. I'd never seen them before. But unless you live in

Southampton... Do they come into Liverpool docks? They do, there's a

big political debate. Liverpool want to get more of that lucrative

market. They are enormous, absolutely massive. I just can't

imagine them being good fun to go on. How much food must they put in

those things? Loads. People at home ongoing, what? He's never seen a

cruise ship? And you mocked me for the Komodo dragon. Here is a man

who sent -- spent his holiday looking at cruise ships. I don't

want to go on one... Well, I just want to look inside it. You should

go down to the train stations and look at the things that can in

there as well. Trains? Yeah, they are brilliant. When I grow up, it

was so boring that we used to go and watch the trains, to see if

bit like The Railway Children? We stared at around. To recap, rice,

coconut milk, lemon grass. We are now going to turn it over. You are

cooling in the pan, because it was too hot? We would burn the fish,

simple as that. People tend to go from the side. They will tear the

skin and it doesn't look attractive. What we want to do is that we want

to go from this end and then flip it over. That was easy! That is

because you are great at cooking, Tim. Again, because it's cooked

evenly, because it came to room temperature. The green Thai curry

paste. It's just a simple accompaniment. I'm going to rattle

through this, ideally, cook it slowly for four or five minutes so

it becomes quite fragrant. Then add the coconut milk. Because we are,

as ever, rapidly running out of time, we're going to bring that to

the boil so you get delicious flavours. We've got the coconut

rice, covering up to the boil. Lovely, fragrant rice. Two Things

To finish off the fish. We're going to baste it. We're going to put a

bit of butter on the side. I always like it when we start running out

of time, you are smirking because you can see me... I was daydreaming

about cruise ships again. Where would you go? I don't want to go on

one. I just want to go into one and have a look around. How many people

go on them? I don't know, thousands. It's terrifying, it's like a

skyscraper. Bigger, just huge. I'd never seen anything like it. So, if

you turn that off... It's like the Death Star. We drain off the excess

but a. When you were younger and people used to say, I'd love to go

on a cruise, that is what they are and I never got my head around it.

We might be missing out. Maybe when we come into retirement, will do

that. Someone told me you get your own apartment, with a garden.

think those are the top end. What we would be able to afford is the

middle ones. You had just smell the container. We got pak choi which we

have poached with some stock and some butter. So, two bits of pak

choi. One of my favourite vegetables. It would be one of my

top five. Always a really delicious flavour. Mine are peas. You can't

beat them, a staple of your store cupboard. Turn it out for me. You

don't have to do it with a fancy Cup, but it looks nice. Beautifully

done. We have a little bit of an hour Thai curry sauce. It sits in

there. That will bring all of this together. Finally, what we do with

the mirin, it is Japanese rice wine vinegar. It's nice and sour, but

with a lead of sweetness. We pressure that over the fish.

nothing has happened to that? Nothing at all, straight out of the

bottle. Sit back on there. I'm going to garnish with coriander

leaves. I know you will not eat them, but it looks pretty. We also

have lime. That looks nice. Thank you. Please, join in. I was

thinking, if you had a pair of clip-on braces and some cherry red

dot Martens, you could be like a cooking skinhead. It would look

quite good. I'd like it, some big place GAR music. What are we

Weekend. We'll get on to your new video in a minute. Oh, that's

boring! We can talk about ballet. This morning, when you met, a UK

men and said, I love you. Stay! STAY! I was singing it in the

shower, when I was exfoliating. Which one is that? Eternal? It's

the first single, actually. Many, many years ago. I actually lusted

after you at school. I had a post and everything. I've gone red.

poster. And then you were discussing ballet? We realised we

both have it in common. I still do ballet. You did it for... 18 years.

Could you get together and do ballet? I think we should practise

it after. That would be good for me to watch. We'll do it while we are

cooking. I'll stretch out. We will I bet you're good. Can we get Simon

to do some as well? Now you're single and your video. There is an

interesting theme. You work on a trapeze. You are a frustrated

Olympian. I actually am. When people say, I could have played for

West Ham if I kept up the training, I still think in my head I could be

a 400 metre Olympian. I still think that in my head. I dream I play for

Chelsea. I dreamed that the manager phones me up and says, can you do

it this week? Will Young will be doing 400 metres. Louise Redknapp

will be doing ballet. We could make it work. You actually ran the

marathon, didn't you? I was a bit disappointed this year. I did it in

four hours and two minutes. Will you do it again? I want to do 3.5

hours. Can you do it? I actually made a documentary on it. I went to

Loughborough and had an assessment. That was just before I started

smoking. They said, we think you can do it in 3.15. It is hard to

keep going for all that time. I did it for Catch-22, a charity that

helps young people and is very prevalent. I will do it again.

is your album called? Echoes. People are saying it is like dance

music. You don't like to call it that. It is not a dance album. What

I should have done is picked out some of the nice things that people

might say about it in reviews. It has got a kind of electro rhythm to

it. Did that happen when you went back into the studio? Actually, it

started when people were remixing my songs. Because I am known as

mid-tempo and ballads, I was hearing the remixing and thinking,

this kind of works. This desire to do this kind of record came about.

I thought, if I do not do it now, I will never do it. I am beyond happy

with the result. To come back with something different... I do not

read reviews. That stays in your mind. The change of direction is

always good after you have had a greatest-hits out because it is

always good to have something new. You were the winner of Pop Idol.

How come you have a career and so many others do not? I think it is a

mixture of tenacity and stubbornness. I started Pop Idol

because I wanted to be a pop star and a wanted to be a songwriter. I

had such a passion for it. I refuse to give up. I just refuse.

is a culture of timidity that is being created. They do not know

which way to turn. Do I think it is the right decision? I do not think

it to something for the public arena so, I do not think it is the

right decision. Very stroppy. You're competing with Stephen Fry

on the vocabulary brand. It is good that you were speaking your mind.

want to do it again. I really like making comments. Coming in as

someone who is in the entertainment business, you hold an interesting

position on that show. You do not have to toe the line. You have lots

of political opinions but the rest of the panel is armed with facts

and figures. Did you do research? Yes, I did. I listened to the Today

programme for about a month and read the papers. You kind of get an

idea of what topics are going on that week. You know there are four

or five topics. Which you have liked to have been on it during the

rioting period? I actually went. Because of the work I feel very

strongly about it. I feel young people might be tarred with the

same brush. The one silver lining is that young people learn very

quickly. They just need to have a bit of the lead shown at them and

be directed in the right way. They have been let down recently by

government and society. It is a real mess. They are heroic. So many

young people I have met, in the face of adversity who are doing

incredible things in their lives. I feel passionately about to ring as

much as I can. We have run out of time. What is Catch-22? We catch

young people at a moment in their lives and send them on to better

things. That is it from Will for the time being. He still has to do
