:08:47. > :08:52.those. We need a side look, not the bottom. Come on, fashion people.
:08:52. > :08:58.dish best served cold. We didn't see the front of them. Did we?
:08:59. > :09:04.on, boys. Get it together. Aren't they lovely. Are you a bit
:09:04. > :09:08.intimidated by them, Tim? You're too tall for me! That's great.
:09:08. > :09:16.too tall for me! That's great. Shall we do a bit of cooking? We're
:09:16. > :09:26.doing mu else with Corr its owe. Garlic, shallots, chor eats owe. We
:09:26. > :09:27.
:09:27. > :09:36.had wine, vinegar. Bread comes -- breadcrumbs, ma'am San, butter. Tim,
:09:36. > :09:41.finely dice the chorizo. Amanda, do the shallots. Do you want me to
:09:41. > :09:47.square this off? You don't want the pieces to be massive. You want to
:09:47. > :09:53.be able to eat it comfortfully. If you've huge bits it makes for an
:09:53. > :10:00.uncomfortable eat. If we were at an Oscar party, if ufrp serving the
:10:00. > :10:08.guests at Elton John's party you would want to be able to eat it. As
:10:08. > :10:15.soon as we've chorizo and shallots in here, put them in here. Chorizo
:10:15. > :10:24.ahead of the shol lots. Are they too small? No, it's fine. You could
:10:24. > :10:33.use bacon if you don't like chorizo. Who doesn't like chorizo? Everyone.
:10:33. > :10:41.How do you say it, Tim? I don't know what I say. I'm confused. I
:10:41. > :10:51.don't know. Chorizo? I don't know. We always have this argument.
:10:51. > :10:55.
:10:55. > :11:02.argument is it should be Paris not sounding the s. In goes the garlic.
:11:02. > :11:08.Stir that around. Straight in. Nice. My eyes. Is there anything you can
:11:08. > :11:13.do to stop that, chopping onions? Practice. There's all that, put a
:11:13. > :11:19.spoon in your mouth when chopping them. Put the onions in water
:11:19. > :11:22.beforehand. I think, really, it's all about a bit of practice. We put
:11:22. > :11:27.some thyme in there. Cook this out for two or three minutes. We don't
:11:27. > :11:32.have the opportunity to do. That chuck in the mussels. Give that a
:11:32. > :11:40.quick stir around. We need our liquid in there. We've red wine and
:11:40. > :11:46.vinegar. Nice little bit of acid Di ity in there -- acidity in there.
:11:46. > :11:50.Put the lid on. Stir it. Shake it. These won't take long at all.
:11:50. > :11:55.Couple of minutes, wait for the must Emms to open. Any that don't
:11:55. > :12:00.open, chuck them away. Amanda, tip the Parmesan and breadcrumbs in
:12:00. > :12:10.there, rub together. Making a crumble. How was your holiday?
:12:10. > :12:11.
:12:11. > :12:15.went to Sydney. Visited my girlfriend in Tamaran beach. Did a
:12:15. > :12:23.coastal walk every morning. It was amazing. You've never been to
:12:24. > :12:33.Australia? No. Have you not? Any interest? It's just a long way.
:12:33. > :12:39.you're dying to go? Eh! I'd like to government there's lots of other
:12:39. > :12:46.places I'd like to go first. People say it is amazing. You did a lot of
:12:46. > :12:51.training out there? You're doing a big event for Sport Relief?
:12:51. > :12:58.doing cycling, rowing, running and there's another one, O'he, yeah,
:12:58. > :13:05.sailing. For Sport Relief. It is called first nation home. England,
:13:05. > :13:11.ierd, Scotland, Wales. We're all starting in our capitals. I'm on
:13:12. > :13:20.the team. I'm not doing 1,000 miles by myself. Really Anyone can do
:13:20. > :13:30.that, Really? 15K in one session? When do you start? The 10th March-
:13:30. > :13:31.
:13:31. > :13:37.17th March. Next job, Tim. Wow! That's strong. Put them there.
:13:37. > :13:42.They're hot, though, Simon. They're burning my little delicate hands.
:13:42. > :13:46.Back in the day, when you were MasterChefing, you would have done
:13:46. > :13:51.this. That's when I was trying to win something. Let's pretend
:13:51. > :14:01.there's a prize. At the end of this, there's a prize. Something For The
:14:01. > :14:02.
:14:02. > :14:06.Weekend badge! I was running every morning from Bondi to Kugi.
:14:07. > :14:13.Probably not enough. You're probably using different parlgts
:14:13. > :14:20.parts of your bod jistkph I've never sailed. I met Iain Percy. Top
:14:20. > :14:27.man. One of our Olympic sailors. He's the man you want to meet.
:14:27. > :14:30.Here's our miselse. Do you want to put the chorizo in there? Yes. You
:14:30. > :14:35.could scoop it out. We've reduced the sauce a little bit. You want to
:14:35. > :14:41.bring this down to a nice syrup. I've added a pinch of sugar into
:14:41. > :14:46.that because we've done this quite quickly. It can be quite bitter.
:14:46. > :14:52.Whilst we've vinegar in there, you want it to be balanced. A pinch of
:14:52. > :14:57.sugar takes away the bit of harshness. Amanda, sprinkle some
:14:57. > :15:02.topping into there. When you row, you have to row with your legs, not
:15:02. > :15:10.your arms. The most I've managed so far is 15 mins and I put my back
:15:10. > :15:19.out. It was killing me for... Sorry. I am thinking about this race.
:15:19. > :15:26.We've got slightly over-grilled mussels. It's all falling to pieces.
:15:26. > :15:33.OK. We've got a little bit of watercress there. And then we
:15:33. > :15:38.simply lift... Oh, that looks delicious. On the mat, Simon.
:15:38. > :15:45.Thinking about that? Yeah, maybe thinking about what's
:15:45. > :15:53.going to happen at Wembley today. What's the outcome, Simon?
:15:53. > :15:58.hoping for a Liverpool win. Can I try one? I would hope for a
:15:58. > :16:02.Liverpool win. It is a Cup Final. A good game. Great football and, as
:16:02. > :16:12.long as Liverpool win, that's the main thing for me. Stringle,
:16:12. > :16:19.
:16:19. > :16:24.sprinkle, sprinkle, gor for it. It it's rich... That's really good.
:16:24. > :16:28.Isn't that nice? The chorizo, the wine... Yes, really good, really
:16:28. > :16:36.different. You have outdone yourself, Simon. Really different.
:16:36. > :16:42.That's the main course? The main course we're doing penne with
:16:43. > :16:47.gorgonzola and walnuts. As always, you can find all of our recipes at
:16:47. > :16:55.bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend. That's hot. Really hot, isn't it?
:16:55. > :17:00.But good, tastes good. I have third degree burns on my tongue. Sarah
:17:00. > :17:06.Thackray has been for a visit to her nephew. This is the second part
:17:06. > :17:16.of Upstairs Downstairs. Howard, you're too generous. You
:17:16. > :17:18.
:17:18. > :17:23.know that. Who else am I going to spend my nest egg on? I am going to
:17:23. > :17:28.make my way, you know? I don't doubt it, my dear. One day, there's
:17:29. > :17:36.going to be nothing but the best for my little soldier. Oh, your dad
:17:36. > :17:41.used to call you that. I know. used to have such lovely
:17:41. > :17:47.Christmases. I think of us all sometimes crammed into the parlour
:17:47. > :17:54.in Edmonton, the gaslight hissing, the trifle on the side board, and I
:17:54. > :18:04.think, how did that come to pass? How can a family just fizzle out?
:18:04. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:14.Like fireworks? It was fate, isn't it? Well, fate and the Spanish flu.
:18:14. > :18:18.
:18:18. > :18:24.Oh, God. Oh, here. Mucky pup. I haven't fizzled out on you, Clare's.
:18:24. > :18:29.You've still got me. You've got me too for what it's worth. Look,
:18:29. > :18:34.auntie! And you can see the second part
:18:35. > :18:38.tonight on BBC One at 9.00pm. Now, our first guest hit the
:18:38. > :18:43.screens as receptionist Sophie in Alan Partridge - ha! Always want to
:18:43. > :18:52.say that after that, don't you? Then it became a house hold award-
:18:52. > :19:02.winning name in Smack the Pony before teaming up with one of the
:19:02. > :19:03.
:19:03. > :19:07.country's favourite comedians. Hungolso-muck-mungolos. Looks like
:19:07. > :19:17.you might have lost him to his travels. I am so over him. You are
:19:17. > :19:18.
:19:19. > :19:21.not. I am. I am the whole new me. Oh! Stop! Welcome to Something For
:19:21. > :19:24.the Weekend Sally Phillips. Thank you very much. Thank you very much
:19:24. > :19:32.having me. How are you coping? Tired at the moment? I am a bit
:19:32. > :19:35.tired at the moment. This is my third baby. Congratulations or
:19:35. > :19:38.commiserations on the exhaustion. No, it is congratulations. He's
:19:39. > :19:46.just over there. My friend is holding him for me. Do you mind if
:19:46. > :19:52.we get a shot of your baby? Can we turn around? There we go. His first
:19:52. > :19:58.taste of fame. What's his name? So beautiful. Very cute. So Miranda
:19:58. > :20:05.Hart, there we saw - a huge success that has been. Well, that's all her,
:20:05. > :20:10.isn't it? She's a very, very clever - very, very clever, very funny,
:20:10. > :20:14.extremely nice person. Isn't she brilliant in Midwife? Fantastic. It
:20:14. > :20:21.took her awhile to get there. She has been doing a lot of bit parts
:20:21. > :20:27.and things, and now... She's really worked hard for it. It's all come
:20:27. > :20:32.good for her. Did you have her in Smack the Pony? Is that true? I
:20:32. > :20:38.think I gave her her first TV shot. I think I saw her in Edinburgh 12
:20:38. > :20:42.years ago, and she was doing a double act called The Orange Girls.
:20:42. > :20:46.She wrote saying, "Thanks for coming to see it. Can you help?" I
:20:46. > :20:52.said no, I have no power. I suggested she went to Jennifer
:20:52. > :20:56.Saunders, then got her in to do some videos on Smack the Pony. She
:20:56. > :20:59.does a video date where she says, "I've got a castle". And I think
:20:59. > :21:05.she does one more video date where she has a lamp on her head, so it
:21:05. > :21:09.wasn't a massive break for her. it quite a close community, ladies
:21:09. > :21:12.in comedy in British TV? We didn't get to meet each other. There were
:21:12. > :21:18.so few of you, you didn't get to work together. Hello, Tom.
:21:18. > :21:24.LAUGHTER Where's - yeah, that's strange now.
:21:24. > :21:29.So yeah, it is more of a community now, I'd say. I definitely feel a
:21:29. > :21:33.real sense of solidarity. It was one of the first of its kind, the
:21:33. > :21:36.first all-female sketch comedy show, wasn't it? No, it wasn't. There
:21:36. > :21:42.were previous ones. I am trying to remember what they were called.
:21:42. > :21:45.There was one with Ruby Wax in - see, my brain doesn't work - it's
:21:45. > :21:51.terrible. We definitely weren't the first, but it worked quite well.
:21:51. > :21:56.How did it come about, though? Because when you pitch a female
:21:56. > :22:01.comedy to networks... I wish. you a little sceptical of the idea?
:22:01. > :22:06.It wasn't my idea. I wish I could claim credit for it because I am
:22:06. > :22:11.proud of it, but Victoria Pyle, who produced it and Caroline who went
:22:11. > :22:14.on to produce King Wing and a Commissioner at Channel 4 had the
:22:14. > :22:20.idea and they selected a team, and we developed it for about a year
:22:20. > :22:25.before we did it, but it wasn't my idea. We have a clip of Smack the
:22:25. > :22:31.Pony. What I like about this clip is the astonishment of the dog who
:22:31. > :22:36.gets all confused during the sketch. Here we go. Excuse me. Excuse me.
:22:36. > :22:40.Would - um, ooh, excuse me. Would you sign a petition to give dog
:22:40. > :22:46.owners the right to exercise their dogs around the long pond? I don't
:22:46. > :22:56.know anything about it. I am not a dog owner. I am actually slightly
:22:56. > :22:59.
:22:59. > :23:09.phobic. Um, so that is... Ahhh! Ahh! Ha hh!
:23:09. > :23:15.Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! LAUGHTER
:23:15. > :23:19.Absolutely brilliant. That dog is so confused - what is going on?
:23:19. > :23:25.usual understated performance from myself! Brilliant. You went from an
:23:25. > :23:32.all-female sketch show to writing your first feature, which is a
:23:32. > :23:35.female-led rom-com, Decoy Bride. Tell us about that. It was my
:23:35. > :23:40.alternative career plan when I started having children. I thought
:23:40. > :23:43.I'll obviously be fat when I start having children, so let's not go in
:23:43. > :23:48.front of the camera. I'll stay behind and just knock off a
:23:48. > :23:54.screenplay - how hard can that be? While my baby plays quietly by
:23:54. > :23:58.itself in a basket. That didn't happen? Playing with the sun beams
:23:58. > :24:07.- no, that's not - it was kind of I have started, so I'll finish, so I
:24:07. > :24:11.started doing it, and I had a very supportive film company, and yeah,
:24:11. > :24:18.that's how it came about, really. I never expected it to get made.
:24:18. > :24:27.Really? I kept saying to my family - they'd ask what was happening
:24:27. > :24:34.with the film. I expected someone to say, "OK.Ed a good run."
:24:34. > :24:41.started filming it in... A long time ago. They asked me why don't I
:24:41. > :24:47.get a part? I thought that would be a good idea. My first child wasn't
:24:47. > :24:51.that well when he was first born. It slipped down my list of
:24:51. > :24:56.priorities. They gave me a brilliant writing partner, Neil.
:24:56. > :25:00.Hello, Neil. Who has the final say? Or is it very much a partnership?
:25:00. > :25:05.You have no power when you're writing a film. Everybody else has
:25:05. > :25:10.the power. As a writer, you merely make suggestions. It's the
:25:10. > :25:14.director's medium really. Decoy Bride - what exactly is that? I
:25:14. > :25:21.believe it's an actual profession. I don't know if it is, but I did
:25:21. > :25:28.hear J-Lo and Ben Affleck were - you were there when they were
:25:28. > :25:36.getting married? Yeah, I was the decountry bride! What is a decoy
:25:36. > :25:41.bride? I heard their PR saying when we booked three decoy brides, three
:25:41. > :25:46.decoy venues and two decoy chefs, we realised what was supposed to be
:25:46. > :25:49.a very small, personal event had gotten out of control, whereas the
:25:50. > :25:54.real reason they didn't get married is they didn't like each other
:25:54. > :26:00.anymore. I have never heard of the phrase "decoy bride." What's the
:26:00. > :26:05.purpose of them? To put the paparazzi off. Imagine if you're
:26:05. > :26:10.single, and you're the joke bride, the not real bride, and if all you
:26:10. > :26:13.wanted to do more than anything else is to be married - of course,
:26:14. > :26:17.the film itself is not that story at all, but that phrase lodged in
:26:17. > :26:24.my mind, and it sort of came from there. We've got a clip. Let's have
:26:24. > :26:29.a look. S OK. He's in a tree. He wants a photo of the happy couple.
:26:29. > :26:35.Let's give it to them. We go through with the wedding as planned
:26:35. > :26:39.but with the stand-in. He takes his photo, leaves, then we find Laura,
:26:40. > :26:46.take her back to the chapel, do it all over again, but this time for
:26:46. > :26:52.real. You're amazing also. I'll go tell James. Don't tell that
:26:52. > :26:58.Googling leech anything. If James finds out Laura is missing, the
:26:58. > :27:06.first thing... Oh, you're in here. I'm going to go do AA. Fine.
:27:06. > :27:09.Everything all right? Doctor Who is in it. He's Brit in
:27:09. > :27:16.it, and Kelly MacDonald - you haven't got a clip of her, but
:27:16. > :27:19.she's wonderful in it. The aim of the film was to write a modern
:27:19. > :27:29.Screwball. They had these great screenplays with really zinggy
:27:29. > :27:34.dialon - It Happened One Night, old-fashioned movies. It's quite an
:27:34. > :27:40.old-fashioned movie. A lot of fun to film? It's fun watching Kelly
:27:40. > :27:44.and David doing it. The dialogue is so good, and Kelly is so adorable,
:27:44. > :27:51.really adorable in it. You're of course no stranger to the big
:27:51. > :27:55.screen because you're in Bridget Jones' Diary, one and two, but I
:27:55. > :28:01.heard you originally went up for the role of Bridget Jones. Yes,
:28:01. > :28:05.thanks for bringing up one of my career failures. Really big
:28:05. > :28:11.knickers! It was a shambles. I didn't realise what a big deal it
:28:11. > :28:16.was to be honest. At that time, I was a single girl living in Notting
:28:16. > :28:20.Hill, failing to go to the gym, unlucky in love, falling for people
:28:20. > :28:24.who were frankly way out of my league, so yeah, I didn't really -
:28:24. > :28:29.I did five auditions for that, and they very wisely didn't give it to
:28:29. > :28:34.me because I wouldn't have been able to do it. They gave me the
:28:34. > :28:36.consolation prize. It's the top of Tim's DVD list. He's never seen it,
:28:36. > :28:44.have you? I have not seen it, no. LAUGHTER
:28:44. > :28:53.Thanks for that! Sally is staying with us all morning, so is Tom, her
:28:53. > :28:57.son. Maybe he'll join in with some Make sure you get your questions in
:28:57. > :29:02.for her or the Ting Tings. E-mail us or Tweet us. Can you guess the
:29:02. > :29:07.year all of these stories hit the headlines and the number one in the
:29:07. > :29:16.charts in today's Deja View? # It's my life

:30:42. > :30:43.
:30:43. > :30:48.Just saying how much we like Mike Myers. He's a Liverpool fan. Google
:30:48. > :30:56.it now. Isn't he a Canadian? He has links with Liverpool. I think his
:30:56. > :31:03.family was originally from Liverpool. What, he listened to the
:31:04. > :31:10.Beatles once? It's true. I think that's 1994. I'm going 1992.
:31:10. > :31:20.Great film that, Wayne's World. Love it. Starting with a romantic
:31:20. > :31:29.one. Lauren and boyfriend Ben from Hertford shire. They make a pancake
:31:29. > :31:34.decorated with fresh strawberries and sprinkleled with edible glitter.
:31:34. > :31:40.Won't last? Who's takings the picture? Sna that's another story.
:31:40. > :31:49.There are car keys on the side, Tim, that's all I'll say. What is that?
:31:49. > :31:57.It looks like deodorant. This is my nephew, Peter. He made the Cuban
:31:57. > :32:06.chicken with rice wearing his lacrosse T-shirt. Peter, you have a
:32:06. > :32:14.bit of a boy band hear cut! does he support? He's not a great
:32:14. > :32:18.fopbl fan but Liverpool! I like lacrosse. This is Sarah Thackrah
:32:18. > :32:26.from Cullercoats near Newcastle. Wouldn't you love that to be your
:32:26. > :32:34.view from your house. Where's that? Cullercoats near Newcastle. This is
:32:34. > :32:40.Lauren from Leigh-on-Sea. My name's Lauren. I'm a physio by day and
:32:40. > :32:46.baker by night. Today we'll eat chocolate gooey mousse cake. Does
:32:46. > :32:53.that sound like something from the guys from the Fast Show? No! This
:32:53. > :33:02.is a whole tribe of people. Cuban chicken chocolate mousse cake in
:33:02. > :33:10.the Alps. Are you hungry? We've hot and spiced baked Cuban chicken and
:33:10. > :33:15.rice and for dessert, gueying chocolate mousse cake. Thank you
:33:15. > :33:22.Something For The Weekend. Goodbye from Switzerland.
:33:22. > :33:26.Some good snow out there. There's more, Tim. It's hair time. And it's
:33:26. > :33:36.Tim first, today. Check this one out!
:33:36. > :33:41.
:33:41. > :33:51.Oh, mate. Milli Vanilli. That's great. How old are you there?
:33:51. > :33:52.
:33:52. > :33:58.twenties. This is me in Wham. at that. Look at that vest. Your
:33:58. > :34:04.shorts, what have they got on them? It is some wild random pattern.
:34:04. > :34:10.you remember when grey, black and red was in. Boys' bed 5078 were
:34:10. > :34:14.grey, black and red. Weird! Fortunately, only a couple more
:34:14. > :34:22.weeks of photographs of me with hair. If you have a photograph.
:34:22. > :34:31.hair. If you have a photograph. Send it to us. Starter was really
:34:31. > :34:36.good. Thank you. Have you burned sgs else? Yeah! His mind's on the
:34:36. > :34:41.football, on the Cup Final. It's not the biggest match today.
:34:41. > :34:47.There's the big derby. Sheffield derby. What's that? You thought I
:34:47. > :34:52.was going to go North London. The crowds they get at that derby,
:34:52. > :35:00.League One, it's massive. You expect them to be up in the top
:35:00. > :35:05.flight. We're going to do some slightly charred leek, walnut and
:35:05. > :35:12.Gorgonzola baked pasta. We've got some leeks, butter, peace, walnuts,
:35:12. > :35:17.Gorgonzola, garlic. Penne, lemon, tarragon and some garlic bread to
:35:17. > :35:25.go with it. Tim, cut that down the middle and we'll have half moons on
:35:25. > :35:30.the leeks. I'll do garlic chopping. I am aware I'm slightly preoccupied
:35:30. > :35:37.with the game. You try to be professional. Is this what I'm
:35:37. > :35:42.supposed to be doing? If you turn it over it might be easier. It is
:35:42. > :35:47.split there. They are coming out as halves not quarters. With the
:35:47. > :35:57.mussels, you want them to be edible. We tend to eat things with a
:35:57. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:04.similar size. Some oil and butter goes into the pan. We put leeks in,
:36:04. > :36:08.cook them quite slowly. Do you have a prediction for me today, Tim?
:36:08. > :36:14.you know what, I don't no who I want to win. I suppose I might go
:36:14. > :36:20.for the underdogs. I'd quite like to see you happy and winning.
:36:20. > :36:25.That's nice. You are the Premiership team. It would be rude,
:36:25. > :36:30.being British, not to go for the underdogs? I'm excited seeing
:36:30. > :36:34.Liverpool play at Wembley. We've not been there for a few years.
:36:35. > :36:41.Thres something going round on the internet. All Liverpool fans saying
:36:42. > :36:46.no flares. As in the trousers. Last time they went there, they were all
:36:46. > :36:55.wearing flares. I can't believe that got such a beautiful laugh
:36:55. > :37:02.from the floor! Mike Pickering signed The Ting Tings. You killed
:37:02. > :37:07.his cat! Stop that. They're not going to talk to you. You killed
:37:07. > :37:12.Mike Pickering's cat. Such a bad story. Moving on, Tim. Strip that
:37:12. > :37:17.tarragon and chop it. These fall lass have cooked quite well. This
:37:17. > :37:21.extra colour on them is on optional element on that, really. Probably,
:37:21. > :37:26.you're better off not colouring them quite so much. In go the peace.
:37:27. > :37:31.In goes the creme fraiche. This is a really simple dish. One of those
:37:31. > :37:37.that doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes I think we're all prone
:37:37. > :37:44.to overcomplicate things. I'll chop some Gorgonzola. Get little cubes
:37:44. > :37:52.so it will melt... Do you want this chopped finely? I love tarragon.
:37:52. > :38:02.Probably my favourite her be? Really? Oh, no. What's yours?
:38:02. > :38:02.
:38:02. > :38:08.Parsley. Or basil. I made kediree. It was really spicy. I made poached
:38:08. > :38:18.egg rather than boiled. Very good, very good indeed. I like lentil in
:38:18. > :38:20.
:38:20. > :38:27.with the kedg. Is is Oh, no, Simon. It just gives extra texture. It's a
:38:27. > :38:33.breakfast dish, really, a bizarre breakfast dish. Once you eat it,
:38:33. > :38:40.you can understand why it is good. It is hearty. The eggs help with it.
:38:41. > :38:46.We've kegigree on the menu at the moment. Smoked haddock, peace and
:38:46. > :38:52.sweetcorn too. Is that right? Sweetcorn, interesting. Bet it
:38:52. > :38:58.worked? The sweetcorn's really nice. This is all going to be chucked in.
:38:58. > :39:05.Walnuts in. Is that enough? That can all go in. Does it go in now or
:39:05. > :39:10.at the end? It can go in now. To cut through the creaminess of the
:39:10. > :39:15.Gorgonzola, we'll have a squeeze of lemon juice. We stir that around.
:39:15. > :39:20.You get that nice smell, the Gorgonzola begins to cook out and,
:39:20. > :39:24.of course, that makes it nice. We've a coated pasta. It shouldn't
:39:24. > :39:28.be swimming in sauce. I sometimes think when people do pastas that
:39:28. > :39:34.have too much sauce on, you know what I mean... What are you smiling
:39:34. > :39:40.at? Just because if people are tuning in, people will think you're
:39:40. > :39:50.killing cats. Five years you've been doing that story. It's a true
:39:50. > :39:50.
:39:50. > :39:54.story. I blame Pickering. OK, we spoon that into there. I'll be
:39:54. > :40:00.attacked like that woman who did that thing with the cat that time.
:40:00. > :40:04.In the bin? Yes. We sprinkle the gorgzol A our grill is like a
:40:04. > :40:11.nuclear reactor today. Let's remember that's under here. That
:40:11. > :40:19.goes in there. All we'll do to serve with it, Tim, just cut on an
:40:19. > :40:24.equal angle, a piece of bread. Cut it down the middle lent-ways. Bit
:40:24. > :40:32.of oil on there. Let's move the griddle pan. How's your dog getting
:40:32. > :40:39.on? Dog's great. We've had our labradoodle for nearly a year now.
:40:39. > :40:45.Is that snuff? Yeah. I resist for yearsed having a dog. I thought it
:40:45. > :40:55.would be a nightmare. Now we have the dog, I quite like it. Taking it
:40:55. > :41:00.for a walk. Every day? Four or five days a week. Who walks it? My wife,
:41:00. > :41:08.the kids take the dog for a walk. I go for a run in the morning, 6.30.
:41:08. > :41:13.Then walk the dog. Once a week! Five times a week, I run. How's
:41:13. > :41:19.your Achilles? It's all right. It is the stopping and starting. That
:41:19. > :41:24.doesn't work for me anymore. Just some garlic butter with the back of
:41:24. > :41:32.the spoon, spread that on there. Now the grill's gone the other way.
:41:32. > :41:39.Isn't working. Brilliant! OK. So, what will happen is... Look how
:41:39. > :41:45.nice and crispy that is now! That's not even melted, Simon. No, but
:41:45. > :41:49.it'll still taste delicious. We cut across on an angle like that. Nice
:41:49. > :41:54.delicious stphraifrs. The bread really, for me, is for dipping in.
:41:54. > :41:59.We get a little bit of that. You've all the flavour in there. Get it to
:41:59. > :42:06.the point where your Gorgonzola has become a little crispy. Here with
:42:06. > :42:13.go. Dig in, ladies and gentlemen. That looks delicious. Macaroony and
:42:13. > :42:18.cheese, basically, Simon? A little bit. Don't have it swimming in
:42:18. > :42:23.sauce. It's horrible. You just taste everything. It's coated it
:42:23. > :42:33.rather than soaking it. I like that. Really good. That is georgeous. It
:42:33. > :42:36.
:42:36. > :42:44.has a walnut too. Dessert, Simon? Rhubarb and orange crumble. I've
:42:44. > :42:49.never cooked rhubarb. Do you cook it for ages? Find out in a minute.

:45:48. > :45:51.Classic hits there. Welcome to Something For the Weekend, The Ting
:45:51. > :45:56.Tings. We were talking about this before, an Ivor Novello, a
:45:56. > :46:00.nomination for a Grammy, then we didn't see you at all. Where have
:46:00. > :46:05.you been for the past couple of years? Touring. We kind of caught
:46:05. > :46:09.on in different countries at different times. Because it was our
:46:09. > :46:13.own little thing in Salford making our own music and videos and things
:46:13. > :46:15.like that, it never really got pushed like a pop thing, then
:46:15. > :46:19.suddenly all the different countries discovered us but at
:46:19. > :46:23.different times of the UK started to go well, then six months later,
:46:23. > :46:28."Oh, you need to go to America. It's going really well there." Six
:46:28. > :46:32.months after that, Japan and South Korea and I don't know South
:46:32. > :46:37.America. You big in Germany? We do all right, yeah. We actually made
:46:37. > :46:41.our second album there. Did you? You're rehearsing now to go back
:46:41. > :46:45.around America. You have done well over there in comparison to other
:46:45. > :46:50.British bands. They have taken to you. Yeah, it has been really good.
:46:50. > :46:54.Tours out there, you get on a bus for six, seven weeks. You're one
:46:54. > :46:59.unit. In the UK it's two weeks a tour. In the States it goes on
:46:59. > :47:03.forever. It's a great platform to get better at what you're doing.
:47:03. > :47:06.Isn't it hard work, though, every night, every other night doing a
:47:06. > :47:15.gig? We have always said we should have been a folk band because there
:47:16. > :47:20.is only two of us on stage. I said why don't we just write folk songs
:47:20. > :47:25.and sit on stools? I was saying before the show hard work - two of
:47:25. > :47:31.you on stage - if you have a band of four or five, the pressure is on
:47:31. > :47:35.two of you. Tell us how you do your live gigs? We use pedals. There is
:47:35. > :47:41.no backing track or sync play-back. Everything is spontaneous. I have
:47:41. > :47:44.four pedals around my kit. She has four. It's a guitar fix, layering
:47:44. > :47:49.stuff. Nine times out of ten, it goes wrong, but that's really what
:47:49. > :47:53.we love about it because it's spontaneous. We argue on stage, but
:47:53. > :47:58.it gives us our energy. A bit like this show. You. Mention you argue
:47:58. > :48:02.on stage. We were discussing before the show it's hard work being
:48:02. > :48:07.together for that length of time. You fall out a lot.
:48:07. > :48:10.We kind of do. I fall out with Jules as much as I would fall out
:48:10. > :48:16.with our sound guy. There is only, what, eight crew with us on tour,
:48:16. > :48:21.but yeah, we have definitely had some - you're singing That's Not My
:48:21. > :48:26.Name and you're flicking things at him. That's not my name! What's
:48:26. > :48:29.your backgrounds? How did you two meet? How did The Ting Tings get
:48:29. > :48:32.formed? We were both in different bands. I can't remember. We were
:48:32. > :48:36.rehearsing in London in different bands, and I don't think we liked
:48:36. > :48:41.what we were doing. A lot of my friends studied in Manchester. I
:48:41. > :48:44.studied in London. I used to go to Manchester a lot, so hearing her
:48:44. > :48:50.Manchester accent made us bond at that rehearsal studio. Next time I
:48:50. > :48:54.was in Manchester, we hooked up, started to write. We loved a band
:48:54. > :48:58.called Portishead and we tried to imitate their records, then we got
:48:58. > :49:02.another member, got signed, got dropped. That whole thing got us to
:49:02. > :49:07.Salford where we started The Ting Tings. Did you ever think - the two
:49:07. > :49:11.of you is a weird dynamic - did you ever think we need to put more
:49:11. > :49:15.members in the band as you were going along writing? No, we tried
:49:15. > :49:20.it in a small tour of Australia. These poor musicians - we brought
:49:20. > :49:24.them with us, and we just ignored them on stage. I was like, why are
:49:24. > :49:29.these people on our stage? They were so talented and good. The
:49:29. > :49:32.energy of the band changed. I felt so much more relaxed - great, there
:49:32. > :49:36.is four of us. We can fill the stage, whereas normally, we have
:49:36. > :49:41.performed in our living room in effect in Salford to, like, 40
:49:41. > :49:45.people, and that same show we played at Glastonbury to like tens
:49:45. > :49:50.of thousands of people. It was the same show, and it was basically me,
:49:50. > :49:53.like, legging it around the stage trying to fill the stage. In a way
:49:53. > :50:01.that gives us our energy. We have the new single from the new album
:50:01. > :50:05.out today. It's called Hang It Up. # Throw parties
:50:05. > :50:08.# We sit on the ground # I would rather they just let me
:50:08. > :50:12.down # People say don't rock the way
:50:12. > :50:18.# Everybody needs somebody # You can hang it up
:50:18. > :50:24.# Listen, baby # You can hang it up
:50:24. > :50:32.# Listen, baby # You can hang it up
:50:32. > :50:38.# You can hang it up. You hit a bit of a sonic wall, didn't you, while
:50:38. > :50:42.you were making this album? Sonic wall? Yeah, that's my metaphor for
:50:42. > :50:47.hitting a wall. It wasn't plain sailing, was it? You kind of
:50:47. > :50:52.scrapped the first edition, didn't you? Kind of, yeahs but we did that
:50:52. > :50:55.on the first album, to be honest. We wrote a song and if we weren't
:50:55. > :51:00.feeling it, we'd store it rather than go back to it. I think it is
:51:00. > :51:04.difficult to do a second album. The first one we wrote it by ourselves.
:51:04. > :51:08.The second one we have all of these people that were like, wow, you
:51:08. > :51:15.should try this. You should try that. We finally isolated ourselves
:51:15. > :51:18.in the south of Spain, literally no phone signal, concentrated. We made
:51:18. > :51:23.the album we wanted to make. We wanted to make something authentic.
:51:23. > :51:28.We do it all ourselves. We wanted it to feel like it came for us.
:51:28. > :51:33.does it compare to the other album? Quite similar? It's different. From
:51:33. > :51:38.three years on Tuesday, we listened to all of our music on MP3 players,
:51:38. > :51:42.whereas before that we had a record collection. We can't listen to
:51:42. > :51:47.those on tour. Everything became a play list. I don't know if you do
:51:47. > :51:53.that - rather than listen to a whole album, you can have three
:51:53. > :51:59.tracks from Led Zeppelin or ABBA, whatever it is. We did that. When
:51:59. > :52:04.we got to record this album, we had a reason to write it. The first
:52:04. > :52:09.album was organic, didn't stop. The second album, we were exhausted
:52:09. > :52:15.thinking, do we fake it or try to find some real substance? That
:52:15. > :52:22.became the centre - the way we listen to our music. It's like a
:52:22. > :52:25.play list. People will feel like, is this The Ting Tings on every
:52:25. > :52:31.single song. You won an Ivor Novello award. Is that the best
:52:31. > :52:35.award to win for a band because it's about writing songs? I think
:52:35. > :52:39.for us it was because we have been writing together for six or seven
:52:40. > :52:43.years. It's the main thing we do. Aye we're not a celebrity-driven
:52:43. > :52:50.band. It's always about songs for us. If you write good songs, they
:52:50. > :52:55.do the work for you. It when are you touring Britain? We're playing
:52:55. > :52:58.London next week. I don't know what date. Tuesday. Yeah, Tuesday. We
:52:59. > :53:02.actually go to Paris, then the United States for a massive 25-date
:53:03. > :53:07.Tuesday, then we do South America, then come back and do European
:53:07. > :53:12.festivals, then we do our own tour. I don't know when. I am terrible
:53:12. > :53:16.with dates. No home life for either over you, then? No. On the road all
:53:16. > :53:19.the time. We set up places - wherever we're touring, if we
:53:19. > :53:23.happen to be in Paris three days before New York, we just stay in
:53:23. > :53:28.Paris. It's so hard to get back to Manchester for those two days. By
:53:28. > :53:32.the time you settle in, you're off again. So it's best to stay the
:53:32. > :53:36.last place you visit. But fun nonetheless I would imagine.
:53:36. > :53:42.They're staying with us to cook our last dish of the day. If you want
:53:42. > :53:46.to ask them or Sally Phillips anything, Tweet us or e-mail us at
:53:46. > :53:48.bbc.co.uk/somethingfortheweekend. All of this is still to come.
:53:48. > :53:56.Gemma is nervous her secret is about to come out in Prisoners'
:53:56. > :54:03.Wives. I am at work. I must know what I
:54:03. > :54:10.have done. Simon cooks up one of his classic dishes, pulled pork
:54:10. > :54:17.with spicy coleslaw. Jeremy Paxman travels to India. It was here the
:54:17. > :54:22.British learned of Imperial Power. Still to come in our gadget roundup,
:54:22. > :54:26.Nikki Moore will tell us what she has brought in including a new
:54:26. > :54:30.popcorn maker - there she is stuffing her face with popcorn.
:54:31. > :54:37.She's pregnant, so allowed to do that apparently. Sally is with us.
:54:37. > :54:41.Are you handy in the kitchen? are you staring at me pregnant...
:54:41. > :54:47.Because you have a baby. Did you eat a lot when you were pudding?
:54:47. > :54:56.did. I couldn't shift it. Did you have cravings or not? Yes, I did
:54:56. > :55:01.have a few. The first time I craved mango and cod. The last time it was
:55:01. > :55:05.pan au chocolate. Is it something your body wants you to have?
:55:05. > :55:10.don't know. I think it gets polluted with greed. I hear sleep
:55:10. > :55:13.deprivation is really hard. Because you get tired, you get hungry, so
:55:13. > :55:19.you need these sugar things all the time trying to keep going. Do you
:55:19. > :55:26.do a lot of cooking yourself or... Yes, but not with any great skill.
:55:26. > :55:34.What are we doing? We're doing a Lauren Rubin from Southend. We have
:55:34. > :55:44.rhubarb, blood oranges, vanilla, star Anise, sugar, the crumble,
:55:44. > :55:50.
:55:50. > :55:58.flour, flaked almonds, dermerrera sugar and cinema. We dump in the
:55:58. > :56:03.star Anise, sugar and vanilla. Nice to put it in a cold pan, then bring
:56:03. > :56:13.it up slowly. This we'll fiercely cook away. Give it a bit of a prod
:56:13. > :56:16.
:56:16. > :56:20.vanilla seeds out? The heat will bring the seeds out of the pod, but
:56:20. > :56:25.also there is loads of flavour in the pod itself. The most effective
:56:25. > :56:35.way to get the most value for money out of the expensive vanilla pod is
:56:35. > :56:41.if you were to blend it with sugar, you won't need to buy lots of
:56:41. > :56:46.vanilla pods. You wouldn't buy vanilla sugar? No, you could make
:56:46. > :56:54.your own. Bring it to a boil, and you get this intense vanilla syrup,
:56:54. > :56:59.and it costs you a fraction of buying vanilla sugar. Rhubarb, all
:56:59. > :57:05.you have to do is top and tail and cut it into pieces about that kind
:57:05. > :57:10.of length, then just lay them into our baking dish. That's it. Go.
:57:10. > :57:16.pressure. I made - just don't chop your fingers off. I made your
:57:16. > :57:20.rhubarb fool - is it fool? Yeah. made his rhubarb fool. It was
:57:20. > :57:27.absolutely delicious. I do like a bit of rhubarb. We got some e-mails
:57:27. > :57:32.and tweets in for you. Ashley says, "What attracted you to comedy in
:57:32. > :57:35.the first place?" You know what, I think I wanted to be initially very
:57:35. > :57:40.serious, but was physically handicapped - not attractive enough
:57:40. > :57:45.and also a bit stupid. I just looked ridiculous, so I tried to be
:57:45. > :57:49.serious for a couple of years, then just got spotted by comedians. The
:57:49. > :57:55.minute I started doing comedy, everybody was like, that's better!
:57:55. > :57:59.I die - in one play I played a syphilis-infected whore who had to
:57:59. > :58:05.die at the end, which was supposed to be very, very sad, and everybody
:58:05. > :58:11.would go, ahh! Which wasn't quite right, so comedy chose me really.
:58:11. > :58:15.Do you think there is a different sort of acting for comedy and
:58:15. > :58:21.straight? I think there is. Some people say no, but I think so. It
:58:21. > :58:29.has been said that comedy is the art of bad acting. That's nice.
:58:29. > :58:36.Which it is - in some forms it is. Was your first role on TV in Alan
:58:36. > :58:41.Partridge? No. My first... Just lay it in there. I was completely
:58:41. > :58:46.thrilled to get it. I was on Smith and Jones. My very first job is I
:58:46. > :58:51.was in bed with Mel Smith. It started on Mel. He went "I'm really
:58:51. > :58:56.sorry, love. This has never happened before to me. It must have
:58:56. > :59:04.been the drink." Do you do this Sunday mornings on a sketch? It's
:59:04. > :59:10.clean. You mentioned "bed" - I was like, right! We didn't get it on.
:59:10. > :59:16.He said "It must have been me." And they panned over to me, and I was
:59:16. > :59:21.covered in vomit. It's maybe not a cooking joke. They poured cool soup
:59:21. > :59:25.over me. I had an allergic reaction. I was thrilled to get that first
:59:25. > :59:30.ever TV appearance. The blood orange - we're going to top and
:59:30. > :59:34.tail like that and it's really just bringing the knife around at an
:59:34. > :59:37.angle so you get as much of that off as you can, so we're going to
:59:37. > :59:43.slice across it. Meanwhile, the sauce is done. I am going to boil
:59:43. > :59:51.this up. I am going to strain this. Now you have all of that vanilla
:59:51. > :59:54.coming out so you have a really delicious syrupy blood orange sauce.
:59:54. > :00:01.When you write a film like Decoy Bride, how much is the finished
:00:01. > :00:05.product like your vision? Because you said a lot of people had a say
:00:05. > :00:10.in it. No, when you're a writer, it's the director's medium. They
:00:10. > :00:15.say there is three films, the film you write, the film you shoot and
:00:15. > :00:20.the film you make in the edit. Right. The film version is really
:00:20. > :00:24.very different to the thing you write. I always thought to write
:00:24. > :00:28.dialogue must be the hardest thing, to actually write so you're writing
:00:28. > :00:34.in different characters' voices, then to write to make something
:00:34. > :00:39.that's funny - the men sit around and go, wow. That is really funny.
:00:39. > :00:42.What is amusing me is I just met my writing partner's parents at the
:00:42. > :00:46.premier in Glasgow last week for the first time. He said - lovely
:00:46. > :00:50.guy, but his parents had been in the north, so I hadn't met them. It
:00:50. > :00:56.turns out his characters, nearly all of them, come from his dad,
:00:56. > :01:00.especially the older ladies in the script. Really? Is based on his dad
:01:00. > :01:07.- I don't know. I like that I understand how that works... Might
:01:07. > :01:11.work, yeah. Chuck the blood oranges on top. This is a beautiful colour.
:01:11. > :01:16.You can use regular oranges but you don't get that delicious colour if
:01:16. > :01:20.you don't. It just makes for a nice flavour. For the crumble, tip all
:01:20. > :01:24.of those in there, really simple, then sprinkle that on top of the
:01:24. > :01:29.rhubarb and the blood orange. It's that, that easy. It's set in
:01:29. > :01:33.Scotland, but it is filmed in the Isle of Man, is that right? Partly
:01:33. > :01:40.filmed in Scotland, partly in the Isle of Man, but we had the money
:01:40. > :01:44.given to us by the Isle of Man Films. It doubled really well,
:01:44. > :01:48.actually. We were worried about that because they have slightly
:01:48. > :01:53.better weather than the outer when redese. We had some fantastic
:01:53. > :01:57.weather - brilliant mist and fog. That was great for us because it
:01:57. > :02:01.wasn't a very expensive film. The weather makes it look - because
:02:01. > :02:05.normally that fog would have been a fog dispenser - a massive squirter
:02:05. > :02:09.- fog squirter that costs you millions of pounds to hire, but we
:02:09. > :02:15.had actual fog. The amazing thing is we had continuity fog because we
:02:15. > :02:21.had to pick up a bit of a scene we didn't finish on the day. Four days
:02:21. > :02:29.later when we had to do it, it was foggy again. Both places are brutal.
:02:29. > :02:33.The Isle of Man and the Outer Hebrediz is brutal. I have never
:02:33. > :02:37.been to both. Isle of Man is cracking. I have been fishing.
:02:37. > :02:47.you? I think it would be great to go with young kids. It's really
:02:47. > :02:57.
:02:57. > :03:07.should be like National Crumble Week. Something I haven't burned,
:03:07. > :03:15.today, Tim. So relaxing. Lovely soft fruit. Some of the sauce.
:03:15. > :03:23.Finally a good dollop of clotted cream or you could use custard with
:03:23. > :03:29.that. It is heavenly. If you'd like to come round and try this. Ting
:03:29. > :03:37.Tings. Very hot this, apparently, guys. Take a spoon and try some.
:03:37. > :03:45.That's very good. How hot is it? Going to burn my head? We're doing
:03:45. > :03:53.a classic pork pork for the and finally. -- pulled pork.
:03:53. > :03:59.Very nice. Yummy. In a moment, Wayne has a BRIT inspired cocktail.
:03:59. > :04:09.First, another chance to guess when all this happened in Deja View.
:04:09. > :04:14.# It's my life # It's my life #
:04:14. > :04:21.The Princess of wails attended the service on the eve of a
:04:21. > :04:25.controversial pub hub kaigs of her book. Betty Boothroyd has become
:04:25. > :04:32.the first woman Speaker of the House of Commons. She's the Labour
:04:32. > :04:36.MP for West Bromwich West. Health Secretary David Mellor gave
:04:36. > :04:40.into allegations about his private life. He handed in his rest
:04:40. > :04:45.Ignatius to the Prime Minister saying "I'm privileged to count you
:04:45. > :04:55.as a dear friend.". # It's my life
:04:55. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:05.# It's my life deml # It's my life... #
:05:05. > :05:15.Wayne's World, party time. And, we're clear. Excellent show
:05:15. > :05:16.
:05:16. > :05:23.everyone. Great show. Benjamin Cain. Director for. I'm Russell finally.
:05:23. > :05:28.We spoke earlier today. Maybe we can go somewhere to get acquainted.
:05:28. > :05:37.Russell. Get to know the crew. Russell. Get to know the crew.
:05:37. > :05:45.you guys later. I went 194. Simon wept 19192. I'm going 1993. I think
:05:45. > :05:51.it's earlier. Wayne's World has thrown me slightly. I thought it
:05:51. > :05:54.was earlier. We'll find out at the was earlier. We'll find out at the
:05:54. > :06:02.end. You're making cocktails. We're celebrating the BRIT awards.
:06:02. > :06:07.This is called True Brit. The best of British summer ingredients. Lime,
:06:07. > :06:13.sweetened with sugar. Put some good old scotch in there. Just one
:06:13. > :06:19.measure. Then we've here some cider brandy
:06:19. > :06:25.from Somerset. Similar to you'd find in northern franch. This one's
:06:25. > :06:30.from Somerset. Which one's this? Cider brandy. It has that really
:06:30. > :06:37.nice apple flavour. I like cider on a nice hot day, sitting outside.
:06:37. > :06:43.Don't hog it! That's good. season for rhubarb it is here.
:06:43. > :06:52.Rhubarb liqueur. That is really strong. I love it though. That
:06:52. > :07:00.apple punchiness to it. That's really nice. I like that. Delicate..
:07:00. > :07:07.Rhubarb never tasted so good. Where there any interesting drinks in
:07:07. > :07:13.Australia? Not really, throw a shrimp on the barbie. Have you been
:07:13. > :07:17.to Australia? I was there last summer. Sp How's the cocktail
:07:17. > :07:23.scene? It's growing. Sydney and Melbourne are leading it. Some
:07:23. > :07:29.things happening in Brisbane and the west coast. It is now more
:07:29. > :07:36.cosmopolitan in Sydney. Good jazz scene. Good restaurants. Loads of
:07:36. > :07:43.casinos in Melbourne. Really? Did you frequent them? I did. What have
:07:44. > :07:49.you put in there? Elderflower press. Apple flavours, bit of the
:07:49. > :07:57.elderflower. A wedge of apple. There you've got True Brit. To
:07:57. > :08:05.celebrate those winners. Adele, who's winning everything. I know.
:08:05. > :08:12.What did you make of her speech? don't know why they didn't fade out
:08:12. > :08:17.Blur at the end and let her finish her speech. We've got the clip.
:08:17. > :08:23.Thank you very much. Nothing make the prouder than coming home with
:08:23. > :08:27.six Grammys, coming to the BRITS and winning Album of the Year. I'm
:08:27. > :08:34.so proud to the British, flying our flag. I'm so proud to be in the
:08:34. > :08:39.room with all of you. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I'm about to...
:08:39. > :08:43.You're going to cut me off. Can I just say, goodbye and I'll see you
:08:43. > :08:50.next time round... It was George Michael in the background laughing.
:08:50. > :08:56.He was going, oh, no, a stipger here! Thing is, someone made a
:08:56. > :09:04.mistake. It would have been easy to let her keep talking. Does it
:09:04. > :09:10.really matter in the great scheme of things? They should do what they
:09:10. > :09:17.do at the Oscars. Play elevator music until they get off. To Adele.
:09:17. > :09:23.All worth it now. The Oscars is on tonight. This is a great twist on a
:09:23. > :09:28.classic Martini. It is called a Tuxedo. The Artist is looking like
:09:28. > :09:38.the favourite to win it, black and white old school movie. It will
:09:38. > :09:38.
:09:38. > :09:44.take you back. Have you seen it? haven't. Do you go to the cinema?
:09:44. > :09:48.do with the kiddies. They don't want to see this one, two hours of
:09:48. > :09:55.silence! A good double measure of begin. Do you go to the movies much,
:09:55. > :10:01.Tim? Average, I've gone to a few. Take them in now and then. You?
:10:01. > :10:07.do enjoy going to a matinee by myself every now and then! Don't
:10:07. > :10:15.look at me like that. People give you funny looks, though. What have
:10:15. > :10:25.you put in there? Little drop of the ab absinthe. We've got the
:10:25. > :10:27.
:10:27. > :10:32.begin, vermouth. Maraschino. Absinthe. A little accent at the
:10:32. > :10:37.back. The drink. Comes through at the end. You don't want too much.
:10:37. > :10:43.It is just the smell of that brings me back to days gone past when I
:10:43. > :10:52.wasn't feeling very well, let's say. Some good old days. Bad old days, I
:10:52. > :11:02.think. A traditional 1950s cocktail glass here. Fab. Like -- looks like
:11:02. > :11:12.the sort of thing Tom or Jerry... Which one's the mouse? Jerry.
:11:12. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:21.is a really delectable flavour. You want to get the aromas. Have a good
:11:21. > :11:27.slurp. It is a classic. That is divine. Really georgeous. A nice
:11:27. > :11:32.layer of flavours. Thanks, Wayne. You can get all of his cocktail

:11:53. > :12:03.# While the world was sleeping # Any Dream Will Do
:12:03. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:33.Got for get this. It's me. Gemma. Hang on. See you tonight, love.
:12:33. > :12:39.I call you back? He's altogether work. He must know what I've done.
:12:39. > :12:43.He's at work. He's been released. Why? I can't talk now. I'll meet
:12:43. > :12:53.you. Explain it then. Just don't tell him anything. All you have to
:12:53. > :12:54.
:12:54. > :12:59.do is pretend everything is normal. Andy. Sorry to keep you waiting. Is
:13:00. > :13:05.everything OK? I need you to pass on a message. Called you at home
:13:05. > :13:14.and your mobile. When are you next speaking to receive? I can't xaul
:13:14. > :13:21.him. He has to ring me. When will he next call you? I'll speak to him
:13:21. > :13:26.in the evenings. Raw OK? Fine. you speak to him. Tell him to call
:13:26. > :13:36.me. What is it? A bit of trouble with the business. Something's
:13:36. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:48.happened so just make sure you pass And you can catch the next episode
:13:48. > :13:53.of Prisoners' Wives on Tuesday night, BBC One at 9.00pm. Our
:13:53. > :13:59.gadget guru is Nikki Moore with Oscar-inspired ideas. This is a
:13:59. > :14:04.good idea. This is the home cinema popcorn maker. Perfect for movie
:14:04. > :14:11.nights in. Popcorn made at home with the kids. It is made... It is
:14:11. > :14:16.popping already. Made in the same way as in the cinema. Not like Mike
:14:16. > :14:20.waive popcorn. You can see it is popping away. It comes with...
:14:20. > :14:24.need to invent quiet popcorn for the cinema. Nothing more
:14:24. > :14:31.frustrating than something sitting next to you chomping. Being noisy.
:14:31. > :14:36.You add oil to the - you add oil to the metal dish. You add the
:14:36. > :14:45.Colonels which come with it when you buy it. It all collects at the
:14:45. > :14:50.bottom. I have a scoop. This is how they do it at the cinema. Butter.
:14:50. > :14:55.Taste that. Shake it up a bit. A bit too much! This is the thing you
:14:55. > :14:59.have at home. Is it as good as microwave? Miles better. It tastes
:14:59. > :15:04.better. Taste it. I make it all the time. It is only a couple of
:15:04. > :15:09.minutes. It is quite retro. Kids, when they have their friends over
:15:09. > :15:15.for sleepovers, they'll love it. Fun to watch it being popped and
:15:15. > :15:22.made. Tastes nice. It tastes like popcorn. You get 25 boxes when you
:15:22. > :15:28.buy it. Two seasonings. We have chocolate, butter. You can get
:15:28. > :15:38.barbecue, salt, sweet and savoury. I think that's quite good. How much
:15:38. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :15:47.is this? �99.95. Quite pricey?. It'll last. What's next?
:15:47. > :15:53.Lomography LomoKino. An analogue movie camera. No sounds, to make
:15:54. > :16:00.retro movies. To post production. Just a simple motion picture. With
:16:00. > :16:07.films like The Artist, people are wanting to make retro films. We've
:16:07. > :16:13.some footage. It is quite ray. Not like digital movies. That's really
:16:13. > :16:21.cool. Uses is 35mm film. You film using the crank handle at the side.
:16:21. > :16:26.It shoots three to five frames a second. You might get 30-45 seconds
:16:26. > :16:31.of footage. You have to get the film developed. It is a lot messier.
:16:31. > :16:38.Convert it? You can digitise it. You can watch it on a movie
:16:38. > :16:44.projecter. If you want it digitised, Lomography would do that for you.
:16:44. > :16:54.You'd use it once or twice? I think people into this would really like
:16:54. > :17:00.
:17:00. > :17:04.Next is the Optoma PK320 Pico Projector. This is a very portable
:17:04. > :17:08.powerful light-weight projector. It's great did you want to watch
:17:08. > :17:12.movies at home, you can watch a big movie on a big screen. I am going
:17:12. > :17:21.to connect it to a device. We have it connected to a tablet but it
:17:21. > :17:27.also has two gig of internal memory which you can export to a micro-SD
:17:28. > :17:31.slot. Does it come with that thing there? No, the screen and the
:17:31. > :17:37.tripod are separate. You can project it on to a wall. We have it
:17:37. > :17:43.on a tablet so you can get the idea. I is decent quality. What is good
:17:43. > :17:49.is it also does MS Office and Adoneby, so you can do presentation
:17:49. > :17:55.at work - presentations, videos, clips. It has built-in speakers.
:17:56. > :18:03.Look at that, Wayne Collins. Wayne, I never knew. That's quite good.
:18:03. > :18:08.That is �329. OK, �329 - that's a lot. Or is it? No, I don't think
:18:08. > :18:12.that's too bad, actually. Can we turn that off? I'm trying to do it
:18:12. > :18:17.with the remote control, but it's not working. Finally? We have
:18:17. > :18:21.Bean2Bed, which is, again, great for watching movies. They look like
:18:21. > :18:26.beanbags but actually contain a full-sized mattress, so you can get
:18:26. > :18:33.them in double size, king size or children's size. What you do is
:18:33. > :18:36.unzip the beanbag at the back, then pull out the mattress, made of a
:18:36. > :18:40.high-end foam. It's like memory foam. It's comfortable. It moulds
:18:40. > :18:48.to your body. Once you've got it out, you have to fluff it up, so
:18:48. > :18:53.you've got to flip it two or three times just to get all the foam
:18:53. > :19:00.flipped up. Flip that a couple of times. This is the king-sized one.
:19:01. > :19:06.There you go. If you have a lie on it, see how comfortable it is. Is
:19:06. > :19:11.it comfy? Come on. It's all right. She's pregnant. I won't get up if I
:19:11. > :19:17.get on here. What do you think? think it's wonderful. How much is
:19:17. > :19:21.this one? They start at 175. They come in a variety of fabrics, suede,
:19:21. > :19:27.animal print, denim. They come in different sizes and colours, and
:19:27. > :19:34.you can customise them as well. Thanks, Nikki Moore. For any
:19:34. > :19:36.information on today's gadgets, e- mail us. We'll get back to you.
:19:36. > :19:39.Jeremy Paxman traces the history of the British colonies beginning by
:19:39. > :19:49.asking how such a tiny island came to rule a quarter of the world's
:19:49. > :19:50.
:19:50. > :19:58.So much that shaped the extraordinary story of the British
:19:58. > :20:06.Empire was born here in the complex, time-worn expanse of India. It was
:20:06. > :20:15.here the British learned the art of imperial power, yet it was a treaty
:20:15. > :20:20.signed thousands of miles away that determined the fate of India. In
:20:20. > :20:25.February 1763, the great European powers were meeting in Paris to end
:20:25. > :20:32.years of war and to divide the world between them from Canada to
:20:32. > :20:36.the Philippines. Britain's representative at the peace talks
:20:36. > :20:40.was the Duke of Bedford, a stubby, arrogant little man who had never
:20:40. > :20:45.been to any of these places. In fact, his gout had made it
:20:45. > :20:50.difficult enough for him to get to Paris, but the Bedfords did pretty
:20:50. > :20:54.well out of the summit. The Duchess was given an 800-piece porcelain
:20:54. > :20:59.dinner service by the King of France, and the Duke got India for
:20:59. > :21:04.the British. And you can see the first part in
:21:04. > :21:10.the new series of Empire tomorrow evening on BBC One at 9.00pm. Katy
:21:10. > :21:16.from the Ting Tings is with us in the kitchen. Can you cook? Kind of.
:21:16. > :21:21.I poisoned myself a couple of times, but yeah - over the space of a year.
:21:21. > :21:25.Not a good recommendation. I can cook, though. Remind me never to
:21:25. > :21:30.come to a dinner party hosted by you. You're left-handed. It's weird
:21:30. > :21:36.how many people we have on the show who it seems the knife skills are
:21:36. > :21:45.much harder. The ramt of people that have seen me cooking see me
:21:45. > :21:50.take the bus out... Really? Boss says you're cack-handed, whatever
:21:50. > :21:56.that means. Mark is the most left- handed person I have ever seen -
:21:56. > :22:03.he's genius, genius. Are you going to make her chop so we can look at
:22:03. > :22:13.those cack-handed skills? Yeah, we have a hunk of pork, cider, cider
:22:13. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:26.vinegar, we have garlic, onions, coleslaw - lime, carrots, cabbage.
:22:26. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:35.Give me onions - of all things! - I would like slices but happy
:22:35. > :22:42.with chunks. Cooking with Katy from the Ting Tings - Hiroki Hara we go.
:22:42. > :22:52.Is that all right? Yeah, it would be really careful if we wounded a
:22:52. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:00.Ting Ting I'd be playing a gig with four fingers. Can we talk about you
:23:00. > :23:05.killing the cat? No! Is this the cat there? This is the cat. What
:23:05. > :23:12.happened, Simon? I know you're watching and laughing. Here is the
:23:12. > :23:17.story for the 45th time. Mike, A and R for Ting Tings. I bought my
:23:17. > :23:22.house from Mike, good friends. They had a cat that stayed with us, went
:23:22. > :23:30.missing, then after awhile, one of Mike's kids said, what happened to
:23:30. > :23:34.the cat? It went missing. Tim in week four said, "Is it true you
:23:34. > :23:41.killed Mike Pickering's cat?" To the day this story goes and goes.
:23:41. > :23:45.Now I am being abused by The Ting Tings. Funny thing is he's never
:23:45. > :23:53.mentioned having a cat. You must have scarred him so much he can't
:23:53. > :23:59.even talk about it. Amazing. I am not enjoying this and the fact Tim
:23:59. > :24:04.is sniggering hugely - moving on. Then we have whole-grain mustard -
:24:04. > :24:08.it did make the cat really tasty, the mustard. People switching off
:24:08. > :24:16.as we speak. What we do is put the garlic around the edge. That'll do
:24:16. > :24:21.you. Then the onions - you did well. I think it's down to your tools,
:24:21. > :24:25.isn't it? A good knife. This is a weird thing to say, but you're
:24:25. > :24:30.actually better cutting yourself with a sharp than a blunt knife
:24:30. > :24:35.because you have a cleaner cut. I'll remember that next time I'm
:24:35. > :24:41.trying to... It tears the skin, but the sharp will just cut it, so it
:24:41. > :24:45.heals more easily. We hour over the cider and cider vinegar, cover it
:24:45. > :24:52.with foil or parchment, cook for four hours so the pork softens.
:24:52. > :24:57.want to ask you a question from a viewer, "How did The Ting Tings get
:24:57. > :25:02.their name? Was it anything to do with the Chinese bride from Little
:25:02. > :25:09.Britain?" I stole it from a girl I worked with. I worked in a shop,
:25:09. > :25:14.and her name was Ting Tinge. I thought her name was so cool. We
:25:14. > :25:22.started a band. We didn't think we'd be successful, so we thought
:25:22. > :25:29.that would do. We recently found out it means the innovation on open
:25:29. > :25:34.minds. So we named it anything really. So what you want to do is
:25:34. > :25:40.you want long pieces of carrots so go right the way down. People tend
:25:40. > :25:46.to do that but if you do that, you'll get longer pieces of carrot.
:25:46. > :25:55.You're that way because you're left-handed. Yeah. See, I can't do
:25:55. > :26:00.it... It's really weird. But I can learn guitar -- play guitar left-
:26:00. > :26:05.handed but I have learnt it right. My little boy is left-handed but
:26:05. > :26:11.right footed. That's weird, isn't it? It's true. Wonders will never
:26:11. > :26:17.cease. You know what I mean? I assumed if you were left handed,
:26:17. > :26:23.you would be left footed. Doesn't that make sense? I am left footed.
:26:23. > :26:30.It's about your brain, so why would you have one brain... Clearly both
:26:30. > :26:35.sides of his brain are working unlike us normal folk. So we slice
:26:35. > :26:41.the onion and a Katy is grating carrots. Is that enough? That'll do.
:26:41. > :26:48.What you do is squeeze the lime juice in there, tip the soya and
:26:48. > :26:55.mayo in, start to give it a bit of a stir-around. Jack wants to know,
:26:55. > :27:00."Who would you most like to collaborate with?" Both myself and
:27:00. > :27:05.Jules are big fans of Talking Heads. Have you had that discussion?
:27:05. > :27:11.have missed two opportunities - first, he asked us to play on a
:27:11. > :27:16.stage he was cure ateing in the States. We couldn't do it. He asked
:27:16. > :27:20.to us cover on a charity record. We had two hours - we went into the
:27:20. > :27:25.studio and destroyed the song - we were like, we can't do this. It's
:27:25. > :27:30.our favourite song in the world. We have missed two opportunities.
:27:30. > :27:36.Potentially it will happen in the future? I don't know, never met him.
:27:36. > :27:41.If you're watching this morning! All of this, the delicious flavours
:27:41. > :27:46.come in. I like the fat the best. That's my favourite bit. All the
:27:46. > :27:51.flavours come into the mix. We pull it apart with the fork, hence the
:27:51. > :27:59.reason it's called pulled pork because you pull it a way like this.
:27:59. > :28:07.You get this gorgeous shredded pork and the end bits are the best bits
:28:07. > :28:11.- what you might want to call the burnt butts of the pork. If there
:28:11. > :28:16.was scratch-and-smell television... It's the greatest smell. What we do
:28:16. > :28:22.is simply spoon a big load of this delicious concoction into there.
:28:22. > :28:28.This in itself is heavenly. You want loads of the sauce. You want
:28:28. > :28:32.all of those in there, so this can sit here... That would be perfect
:28:32. > :28:38.to bring to the game today. I am going to take this for sandwiches
:28:38. > :28:46.obviously. Beats a bacon but thety, doesn't it? A spoonful of our spicy
:28:46. > :28:52.coleslaw on the side - pulled pat - uh, pork! Pulled Pickering cat!
:28:52. > :29:02.While you dish that up, it's over to the Deja View reveal. Yeah, when
:29:02. > :29:03.
:29:03. > :29:10.Betty Boothroyd was made Madam Speaker and the controversial
:29:10. > :29:15.Princess Diana biography made its debut, It's My Life was in the
:29:15. > :29:21.charts - 1992. Do you want to try that?
:29:21. > :29:28.He's kind of a cat killer. Really put me off. Really a cat. Got lots
:29:28. > :29:33.of Tweets from you asking about projects. One asks if there is
:29:33. > :29:37.going to be another series of Miranda Hart? I think so. Miranda
:29:37. > :29:41.Hart is in a hut in the forest writing as we speak. We're going to
:29:41. > :29:46.be shooting in the summer, so I guess it would be on the screens in
:29:46. > :29:51.the autumn. Chris says, "What's going on with Bridget Jones Three?
:29:51. > :29:55.Will you be in it?" I haven't seen the script, but apparently there is
:29:55. > :30:00.one. It was supposed to shoot before Christmas, but didn't, so
:30:00. > :30:05.it's postponed, but not cancelled. Isn't there a Bridget Jones, the
:30:05. > :30:10.Musical, coming up? Supposedly. Lily has written that. I am not
:30:10. > :30:17.involved in that. What is that like? Have you eaten any? I want to
:30:17. > :30:23.get stuck in, but I feel rude. please, get stuck in. Do that. "Are
:30:23. > :30:29.there any plans to bring back Smack the Pony" says Maxwell. Not to
:30:29. > :30:33.bring it back as it was, but I am good friends with Fiona and Doon
:30:33. > :30:39.Mackichan. Together we have worked out and written up a sitcom which
:30:39. > :30:43.we're trying to - going to try to persuade the BBC to do - please,
:30:43. > :30:47.BBC! What's that about? It's about whether or not to stay married
:30:47. > :30:53.called Stick or Twist, three - we were trying to grow up. That's a
:30:53. > :30:59.good subject at the moment because everybody gets divorced. I think
:30:59. > :31:03.everybody thinks about it. I am still married. I am still married.
:31:03. > :31:07.Is that delicious? Very good. You're about to go to the States in
:31:07. > :31:11.a couple of days, is that right? show Tuesday in London, then we go
:31:11. > :31:16.to the States after that. About a week before we go to the States.
:31:16. > :31:21.How is the touring and the food? Really difficult because obviously
:31:21. > :31:26.you can't eat that well. We end up - obviously, we try to avoid fast
:31:26. > :31:30.food, but you end up picking up bits of food - especially in
:31:30. > :31:34.America, it is really hard. At the end of the day, the choice is
:31:35. > :31:40.really limited. You end up trying to keep some sort of balance
:31:40. > :31:46.between fitness and eating as less as possible when you're touring.
