0:00:40 > 0:00:43That is a little taste of childhood right there.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47..to find out how those holidays around the UK helped shape
0:00:47 > 0:00:50the people we know so well today.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53I'm giving you a standing ovation.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56So buckle up for Holiday Of My Lifetime.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Can you come on all my holidays?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Oh-ho! I'm excited today.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07I'm meeting an old friend
0:01:07 > 0:01:11who's been having breakfast with the nation for years.
0:01:11 > 0:01:17She was born in Canterbury in Kent in 1961.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19What a cutie!
0:01:20 > 0:01:25She began her career on radio before bouncing onto our screens
0:01:25 > 0:01:27as a news presenter.
0:01:27 > 0:01:33And she had so much fun working with my old mate Eamonn Holmes on GMTV
0:01:33 > 0:01:36where she worked for 15 years.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Aw! She always started our day with a smile.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And I met her when she was on Strictly.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Now, she didn't win but I tell you what,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51she did some memorable performances.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Oh-ho! The thought of them haunts me now.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58From Panorama to Watchdog to Loose Women,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I tell you, this girl's one tough cookie.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Oh, and she's a smart one too.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06She's everybody's breakfast buddy.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh-ho! It's only Fiona Phillips.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14And I'm on my way to pick her up in this fabulous Ford Anglia estate
0:02:14 > 0:02:16just like the one her dad used to drive.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I bet she was a handful in the back, bouncing about.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Fiona was born to Phil and Amy Phillips in Kent
0:02:25 > 0:02:29on New Year's Day in 1961.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The family later moved to Southampton where she grew up
0:02:32 > 0:02:33alongside her brothers.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Fiona's career began as a local news reporter but was soon catapulted
0:02:38 > 0:02:43into the nation's hearts as the bright-eyed presenter on GMTV,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45where she stayed for over a decade.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Since then, she's been a regular face on Loose Women, the BBC
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and shone brightly on the Strictly dance floor.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Along with her numerous other TV appearances, she's a newspaper
0:02:58 > 0:03:02columnist, radio presenter and active charity ambassador.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05And she's a mum too. I don't know how she fits it all in.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Today I'm taking her back to a memorable summer holiday
0:03:09 > 0:03:12of her childhood and I've even got the car to match.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- CAR HORN TOOTS - Gosh. It's a little old Anglia!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Fiona.- Len!
0:03:21 > 0:03:26I can't believe you fitted in there. We must've been smaller in the '70s.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- What do you think of the wheels? - I love them.- Good to see you.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- So good to see you too. - Look at it.- That takes me back.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- My dad always used to have Anglias as company cars.- Oh, right.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- So this was the car? - I can't believe... That was the car.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41We thought it was the grandest car ever. Look at it.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It looks as though it's smiling at the front too. It's lovely.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46So where were you going off to?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50We were going off to the Norfolk Broads.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Ooh, I've never been. - Well now's your chance, isn't it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- Yes.- Hopefully.- What a bit of luck. And what's the year?- 1975.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03I know it well. '75? Muhammad Ali, the Thrilla in Manila.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Rod Stewart. # Sailing. #
0:04:06 > 0:04:08And we're going to go on your holidays. Come on!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Good, good, good. I can't wait.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19To the east of Norwich
0:04:19 > 0:04:20and the west of Great Yarmouth
0:04:20 > 0:04:22the Norfolk Broads straddle the
0:04:22 > 0:04:24counties of Norfolk and Suffolk.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30'Set amongst beautiful marshland fields and tangled woodlands,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33'it's home to 125 miles of waterways...
0:04:35 > 0:04:38'..and a quarter of Britain's rarest species.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40'But it's not all wildlife.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43'7 million visitors holiday here every year
0:04:43 > 0:04:48'so jump aboard as I set sail with Fiona Phillips
0:04:48 > 0:04:51'on a trip down memory lane to 1975.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54'With some fun little puppet pals...'
0:04:54 > 0:04:55I'm covered in glue.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57'..and poodle perms...'
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Dun-dun!- Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- Oh, Brian.- Hey!
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- Calm it down.- Take it easy, Brian.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05'..as we enjoy a peaceful cruise...'
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- There's something very graceful about it.- Yeah, leisurely.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10I'm liking it.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'..through the beautiful Norfolk Broads.'
0:05:19 > 0:05:22But before any holiday begins you must first get there.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27for Fiona, that meant a long car journey with Mum, Dad
0:05:27 > 0:05:29and her two brothers.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32So was coming down here to the Norfolk Broads,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34was that a typical holiday for you?
0:05:34 > 0:05:36No, no, no. This was like...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39It was like a foreign trip coming to the Norfolk Broads
0:05:39 > 0:05:45cos my mum was Welsh and so our holidays were us being
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- dragged around our relations in Wales.- Oh, right.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50So that was always our holiday.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54So the Norfolk Broads, this was a big, big holiday.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56This was a foreign trip.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58So there was your dad here,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- there's your mum.- Mum. - Baby on the lap.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02With Andrew, my little brother,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- who was about two and a bit, three then.- Right.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And then there was David, my other brother,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11who's about 20 months younger than me
0:06:11 > 0:06:12and me in the back.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So where did you live?
0:06:14 > 0:06:19We lived in a three-bed semi in Southampton.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22It was a long journey then from Southampton.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Yeah, it must've been. I can't... Do you know, I can't remember much
0:06:25 > 0:06:28of the journey apart from who was in the car.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- And had you been on a boat or anything before?- No. God, no.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That was always my dad's dream though.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35He said he'd love to live on a boat.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So for him I think it was...
0:06:37 > 0:06:40He worked hard all his life and I think he wanted
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- a holiday that he thought was a real splash out, you know?- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- That's great though, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51# You've done it all... #
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Back in 1975 it wasn't just Fiona
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and her family embarking on a long journey.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Dougal Haston and Doug Scott had a lot further to travel
0:07:01 > 0:07:04as they became the first Britons
0:07:04 > 0:07:07to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, Everest.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And this is the route that all
0:07:09 > 0:07:11expeditions to the south-west face have used, is it?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Yes, it's the standard route.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17The man who climbed to the highest heights of the silent film era
0:07:17 > 0:07:21also hit the headlines as Charlie Chaplin received
0:07:21 > 0:07:26a knighthood from the Queen at the ripe old age of 85.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Is it to be Sir Charles or Sir Charlie from now on?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Sir Charles.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Six years after oil was discovered off the coast of Aberdeen,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38the Queen officially opened the UK's first oil pipeline,
0:07:38 > 0:07:43pumping 10,000 barrels of North Sea black gold every day.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48That first trickle will grow and by 1977,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52supplies from the Forties Field alone should amount to
0:07:52 > 0:07:54at least one quarter of the oil
0:07:54 > 0:07:56we require as a nation.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59But also striking gold that year in the world of music was
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel with their smash hit,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me).
0:08:05 > 0:08:07# Come up and see me
0:08:07 > 0:08:11# Make me smile
0:08:12 > 0:08:18# Or do what you want running wild. #
0:08:21 > 0:08:25And smiling is exactly what holidays are all about.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And after their long car journey,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Fiona and the rest of the family had at last arrived.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36Now, Fiona, does this bring back any happy memories of 1975?
0:08:36 > 0:08:41Oh, do you know, what it does bring back, obviously, my mum, my dad.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46Memories of them. I remember when I got here the boat had rough plastic.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48I suppose it was like a floating caravan really.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yeah, that's exactly what it was and I don't remember us moving anywhere.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Oh, you just...
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- We were floating but I think we just floated!- You just slept in it.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57We didn't actually go anywhere.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Today we'll be doing a lot more than just floating on the Broads
0:09:01 > 0:09:04but I want to know more about Fiona's holiday boat.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- So what did your boat look like? - It was long.- Right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It was clad in wood around the top bit and the rest of it,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I assumed fibreglass, a creamy coloured fibreglass.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21It had a horrible old, faded orangey old curtains at the window.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Very '70s, actually. Very orange and brown.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Well, to relive those days,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28I found a boat that's of similar age
0:09:28 > 0:09:30to the one Fiona holidayed on -
0:09:30 > 0:09:33the Jenny Wren, captained by James.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- So, now look at this one coming in. - Yeah.- The Jenny Wren.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Would that have been something like...?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Something like it but it was a bit bigger.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, it's got better curtains, hasn't it?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Ours had old faded orangey things just sort of hung there.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49They're all pinned back and they look nice.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Although my dad, bless him, he thought it was really...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- BOTH:- The bees knees, yeah.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57He was on a boat for a week, you know?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- Now, I'm going to do something nautical here.- OK.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Can I get the rope and pull it in or something?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04I'd love to do something nautical.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07I'm a good catcher. Do I pull it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You'll have to give me a hand here.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Come on. Grrah! Ha-ha! Ha-ha!
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- So my brothers and my dad would have done this.- Yeah, well...
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You want me to take it round there?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20You haven't done a figure of eight here. You have to do...
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Let's put that... There you go like that.- Oh.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25You see, a figure of eight.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Well, I've never been on a boat like this.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30You see, I'm very impressed I've remembered that, actually.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- You've done well. Shall we get on? - Yes. Shall we?- Come on.- Ooh, dear.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- James.- Good morning.- Len. This is Fiona.- Hi, James.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- Hi.- Nice to meet you.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42What year is this boat? Would it have been around in '75?
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Yes, she certainly was. She was built in the early- '50s. Ooh.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Well, I reckon that would have been about the age
0:10:49 > 0:10:51cos it was very similar to this.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- I like it.- Yeah, I love the wood. The wood is warm, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- Shall we set sail and have a little mooch along?- That would be nice.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03SHE CHUCKLES Come on, James!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Away...
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Shiver me timbers. - Shiver me timbers! And off we go.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Oh, I'm going to enjoy this.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14There's something very graceful about it, isn't there?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Yeah, leisurely. I'm liking it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22This is the life, isn't it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:26On a day like this you could be in the South of France
0:11:26 > 0:11:28but here we are in Norfolk
0:11:28 > 0:11:30sailing along on the old boat.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33But if the unpredictable British weather
0:11:33 > 0:11:37took a turn for the worse, Fiona's family could always escape inside.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I wonder if this interior brings back any memories.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- You're nearly hitting the roof here. Mind your head.- Yeah, I did.- See?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Ooh! You're able to move between... - It is compact, isn't it?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51It's lovely though. And this must have been...
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You must be able to pull these out and make the beds out of them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Goodness knows how though. I don't know. Oh, that's a drawer.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I don't know. I can't remember how you do that.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- Yeah.- Ooh.- Oh, no don't. Don't break it. It's 60 years old.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10To put us back in 1975, I've even got one of the original
0:12:10 > 0:12:13holiday brochures Fiona's dad booked their trip through.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16That would have been the time, won't it?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- That is it. - "Come boating with Hoseasons."
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- 1975.- Ah, 1975!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24My goodness!
0:12:24 > 0:12:29I guess your dad got this magazine cos it's fabulous.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Ah, now I like the look of that one but it's...
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I remember him looking through it all proud.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39Now I think, hang on... Ours was like that. It's like a sort of...
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- It's like a bungalow on a boat! - Yes.- Yeah, it was similar.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- I remember you could walk around the side...- Yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- ..because I had an incident. - Oh, you fell in?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Well, I went outside and daydreaming over the side and I fell in.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56My dad just went, "Ooh, God, she's fallen in."
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Didn't try and rescue me. - No rescuing.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- No throwing in the life buoy or whatever.- No.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02And my brother jumped on...
0:13:02 > 0:13:05There was a little rowing boat, he jumped onto a rowing boat
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- and rescued me.- There you are.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And I had to go straight in that bathroom,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12in that plastic bath next to the chemical toilet.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Oh, no.- Yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And when Fiona wasn't being dragged out of the water by her brother,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22she was busy following her mum around the many souvenir shops
0:13:22 > 0:13:24that surrounded the Broads.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25My mum saw this blessed old...
0:13:25 > 0:13:28And you would've seen them in lots of people's houses I'm sure,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32and she thought it was the Crown Jewels. It was a carthorse.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Do you remember those old Shire pony,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37china Shire pony with all the leather straps and everything
0:13:37 > 0:13:41with a grey horrible old cart on the back with all brass and...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Pride of position when we got home
0:13:43 > 0:13:47and I lived with that thing for years!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Oi! I've got one of them on my mantelpiece
0:13:50 > 0:13:51right beside the glitter ball.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'm classy like that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03Tourists, like Fiona and her family, have been setting sail
0:14:03 > 0:14:05along the Broads since Victorian times
0:14:05 > 0:14:09but it wasn't until the 1950s that they hit on the theory
0:14:09 > 0:14:13of how the Broads got to be what they are today.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17It was generally thought that the Broads were just natural lakes
0:14:17 > 0:14:22and rivers but in the 1950s it was discovered by Joyce Lambert,
0:14:22 > 0:14:26who was a botanist and she was working in some of the Broads here.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The sides were vertical or they were stepped.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35So she put forward a paper to say that they had been dug by man
0:14:35 > 0:14:37and they were dug for peat.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42And peat was used for heating and for homes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:47So great quantities of peat were dug which made holes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50And these holes were filled in
0:14:50 > 0:14:54in the 1400s by a great rise in the water.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58And then they were formed as broads or lakes
0:14:58 > 0:15:00but now we know them as broads.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06We're taking a break from sailing
0:15:06 > 0:15:10to hop on to dry land to get some supplies,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14just like Fiona did on the Norfolk Broads adventure.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18Plus, I want to know how she got her pocket money back in the '70s.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21You used to have a paper round.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- I had a morning paper round, an evening paper round.- Really?- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27And I was so good at my job,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30I got promoted to working in the newsagents.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31- Really?- Yes.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Was that so that you could buy whatever you wanted rather than say,
0:15:36 > 0:15:37- "Mum, I want this"?- Absolutely.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I wanted everything that was in fashion
0:15:40 > 0:15:41and my mum always said to me,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44"If you want fashion things, you get out and work for them."
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Yeah.- And I did. And that's given me an independence.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I've never had to rely on anyone else. Fortunately.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- And that's carried on, I guess, throughout your life really.- Yeah.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And I suppose on your holiday you'd come in places like this
0:15:58 > 0:16:01with your dad to collect, get bits and pieces.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- What would you be getting? - I'd be getting Smash Hits.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Anything with the Bay City Rollers or David Essex or Donny Osmond on.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14And there was one called Disco 45 and it was really hip
0:16:14 > 0:16:18because it had the lyrics of the songs of the time in there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Of all the hits, yeah.- Really? Let's look here a moment.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Was it something like...- Oh, no!
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You've got one. With David Essex on!
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Oh, my goodness.- Was it a bit like this one?- Wasn't he dreamy?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Why don't we pop off and we can have a little read
0:16:31 > 0:16:34of Disco 45 Song Book?
0:16:34 > 0:16:39- We don't just read Disco 45, you sing it!- Sing it! Oh!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42A Len and Fiona duet, what fun!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And don't worry, I have paid for the magazine.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53The Norfolk Broads are alive with exciting things to see and do.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55So if you're heading to these parts
0:16:55 > 0:16:58then I've seven top tips for your visit.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Regular visitors will be familiar
0:17:01 > 0:17:04with the wonderful windmills in the area.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And this little beauty is one of the most active of them all.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10But you won't find a grain of flour in sight.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Built in 1874, Hardley Windmill's purpose was purely to pump water
0:17:15 > 0:17:19from nearby marshes into the River Yare.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Before it closed down in the middle of the last century, it was
0:17:22 > 0:17:27capable of raising an incredible 12 tonnes of water every minute.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32After standing derelict for years, its sails now turned once more.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35The Broads have so much beauty to offer but most
0:17:35 > 0:17:38only access a fraction of it
0:17:38 > 0:17:42and it's the shallow backwaters that are havens for wildlife.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Have a paddle down some of the undisturbed ways or get a
0:17:45 > 0:17:49guided tour with canoe man Mark Wilkinson
0:17:49 > 0:17:51and trusty dog, Mr Darcy.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Canoeing is obviously a fantastic way to see the Broads
0:17:53 > 0:17:56in the fact that one, it's incredibly environmentally friendly.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Yeah, we're not disturbing anything,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00we're not causing any pollution.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01It's very, very easy.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03You don't have to be any great expert.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04You can be a complete novice
0:18:04 > 0:18:07and you can spend a day out on the water and have a wonderful time.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12It also gives you access to the bits where the motor boats can't get to.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15You know, the water gets too shallow, starts to get really muddy,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18get's tree roots in it, like we've got down here.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19The motor boats can't go there.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Canoes, we need two, three inches of water and we can go
0:18:23 > 0:18:24almost anywhere we like.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I'm with Fiona Phillips in the Norfolk Broads,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34where she and her family holidayed back in 1975.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39We've headed to the riverside to rekindle some teenage memories.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- Here it is. Disco 45 Song Book. - Disco 45!
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Freddie Mercury in there, bless him. - Were you good at school?
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Ah! No.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yeah, do you know, my dad always said to me,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54"It's a criminal waste of intelligence."
0:18:54 > 0:18:59In primary school, I won a national poetry prize, I won another...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I won an art prize.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I was always being marched around the rest of the classes by
0:19:04 > 0:19:09the headmaster to read out my brilliant English essays.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13And then I went to secondary school and it all went wrong.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17And I thought fooling around in class was really cool,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20doing no work, not doing the homework.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I took my O-levels, as they were then.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I got English cos you didn't have to revise and I got a B for that.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- And I'd got Ds and Es for the rest of them.- Really?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And I'll never ever forget my mum and dad's face
0:19:32 > 0:19:33when those results came in.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38I retook all my O-levels and did three A-levels,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40started three A-levels at the same time.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42And I had to stay three years at sixth form
0:19:42 > 0:19:44so all my friends left and I was still there.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47So you came to your senses eventually and realised...
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I did come to my senses. I did an English degree.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Did you?- I did, yeah. At a polytechnic, not a university
0:19:54 > 0:19:57cos I'd left it so late. And during that, actually, I thought,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59"Yeah, I'd quite like to be a journalist."
0:19:59 > 0:20:03And I did a postgraduate certificate in radio journalism
0:20:03 > 0:20:09and then I worked for a year at one station for absolutely nothing
0:20:09 > 0:20:13In the end, they gave me a job because I'd make myself so...
0:20:13 > 0:20:16They needed me and I was doing everything for nothing.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18And in the end they started paying me.
0:20:18 > 0:20:23- Was that on a radio station? - Yeah, a local radio station.- Right.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Fiona's big break in radio really changed her life.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28And speaking of changes...
0:20:34 > 0:20:38The boats sailing through the Broads today are very different to those
0:20:38 > 0:20:40of the 1970s.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Holiday-maker Caroline Male remembers what it was like
0:20:43 > 0:20:46when she came here all those years ago.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49My parents had a traditional Norfolk cruiser,
0:20:49 > 0:20:54and we used to spend a month on the Broads every August,
0:20:54 > 0:20:56and that comprised of driving the boat
0:20:56 > 0:20:58from here, there and everywhere.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59We used to cover all four rivers.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It was a fairly basic existence, I will say.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04We didn't have a shower on board,
0:21:04 > 0:21:08so we had to find showers at various boatyards.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11The loo system, until the mid-1970s, was also very basic.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14You could press the pedal and see the river underneath,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17cos that's actually where all the waste went, which wasn't great.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20There's more proper moorings now than there used to be.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23You used to very much have to sort of moor up on a muddy bank
0:21:23 > 0:21:26and use a land anchor, which is a big sort of metal thing
0:21:26 > 0:21:28that you bang into the ground,
0:21:28 > 0:21:29traditionally known as wild moorings.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32A lot of them have actually got plug-in electricity as well,
0:21:32 > 0:21:33which is great,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36and it means that you don't have to run your engine
0:21:36 > 0:21:39if you haven't been that far to actually make sure
0:21:39 > 0:21:41you've got electricity within the boat for the day.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49We've stepped back aboard our boat for the day
0:21:49 > 0:21:51to relive some of those early memories.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55For teenager Fiona Phillips in 1975, forget the scenery -
0:21:55 > 0:21:59it was all about music and magazines.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Shall we have a song?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Well, I hope you're going to sing it.- What about...?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- # Mama, just killed a man... - Just killed a... #
0:22:06 > 0:22:08No, no, no, wait a minute. We've got to get into character.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- OK. OK.- We've got to get a bit into character here.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'll be Brian May.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Oh, am I Freddie?- You're Freddie.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Oh, hang on. Freddie.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Is that my sole prop? A Freddie moustache.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Hang on, how do you get this off?
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- Let's have a look. Oh-ho-ho! - # Mama!
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- # Just killed a man... # - Oh, yes. Wait a minute.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Oh, Brian.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- LAUGHING:- Oh, you do look like him.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Don't me laugh cos my moustache comes off.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- There you are.- Well, you look like King Charles I.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Charles I.- Trust me.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Are you ready?- Yeah. - Well, I'll kick it off.- Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52# Is this the real life?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55# Is this just fantasy?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57# Caught in a landslide
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- BOTH:- # No escape from reality
0:23:01 > 0:23:04# Open your eyes
0:23:04 > 0:23:11# Look up to the skies and see
0:23:11 > 0:23:14# I'm just a poor boy
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- BOTH:- # I need NO sympathy
0:23:17 > 0:23:21# Because I'm easy come, easy go
0:23:21 > 0:23:24# Little high, little low
0:23:24 > 0:23:28# Any way the wind blows
0:23:28 > 0:23:34# Doesn't really matter to me
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# To me... #
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- We've key-changed about ten times. - I'm no good at singing.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42GUITAR SOLO PLAYS
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Big hair was all the rage in the '70s,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50and music didn't come much bigger than Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54At the time, it was the most expensive single ever made.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57It became Christmas number one in 1975
0:23:57 > 0:24:00and held the top spot for nine weeks,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but I think our version is almost as good.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08# I see a little silhouetto of a man
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- BOTH:- # Scaramouche, Scaramouche Will you do the Fandango?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15# Thunderbolt and lightning Very, very frightening me
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- # Galileo- Galileo
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- # Galileo, Figaro - Galileo... #
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Does he come in now with a guitar?
0:24:21 > 0:24:25THEY IMITATE GUITAR SOLO
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- Jeez... Ha-ha!- Oh, Brian!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29- Hey!- Take it easy.- Calm it down.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Oh. I tell you what...
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I think we've docked. Is that what you call it?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36THEY GIGGLE I think...
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I think we've gone past our sell by date,
0:24:38 > 0:24:39I don't know about docked.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42There you are.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44I've got to sit down now. I've overwhelmed myself.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- I have, and my moustache is coming off.- Oh...
0:24:48 > 0:24:51# Just gotta get out
0:24:51 > 0:24:55# Just gotta get right outta here... #
0:24:55 > 0:25:00I bet you didn't think in 1975 that you'd be back on the Norfolk Broads
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- singing Bohemian Rhapsody with some...- With King Charles I.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06With King Charles I.
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Being a rock star is exhausting.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I think we need a well-earned rest.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17While we catch our breath,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21here's the next instalment of my seven top tips
0:25:21 > 0:25:22for visiting this area.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Wroxham is often referred to as the capital of the Broads,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and as well as being home to lovely shops,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32there's also an abundance of boats in the town
0:25:32 > 0:25:36making it an ideal place for a nice day out.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39But if that's not to your taste, try the Mustard Museum.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It's packed with memorabilia
0:25:41 > 0:25:44charting the history of Norfolk's world-famous condiment.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Ooh, yummy.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47The mustard shop was first opened
0:25:47 > 0:25:50in 1973 in Bridewell Alley,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54and it was to celebrate 150 years of mustard being made
0:25:54 > 0:25:56in the City of Norwich.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59So, the shop was fitted out with Victorian interior
0:25:59 > 0:26:02to celebrate the era when mustard was first made in the city.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Mustard has lots of different uses,
0:26:04 > 0:26:07and it's been used for over 2,000 years for different purposes,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and there was actually a range of
0:26:09 > 0:26:11different medicinal products that were produced.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15For example, mustard plasters and mustard baths,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18which were used to help cure colds,
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and also mustard oil, which was a cure for rheumatism.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Head along the Norfolk Broads and you'll find yourself in Norwich.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29It started off as an Anglo-Saxon settlement on the River Wensum.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31After the Norman invasion,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35it transformed into a wool and weaving city,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38but it's also a place that's special to Fiona
0:26:38 > 0:26:41because this is where her broadcasting career
0:26:41 > 0:26:42really kicked off.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Well, at last we've arrived in Norwich.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- And it's lovely. - It is really lovely.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51And you got your first big break, I think, in Norwich.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yeah, it was really funny.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- I was doing a mixture of local radio news and traffic reports.- Right.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Where I worked doing traffic reports,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01they said something about a screen test.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03And I told my mum I'd done the screen test,
0:27:03 > 0:27:04and she was really excited.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07And then, about two days after I'd done it,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I got this phone call from the producer,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and he said, "Er... I'm sorry to tell you...
0:27:12 > 0:27:13"you got the job!"
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- Oh!- And I was like... - SHE SCREAMS
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- I just remember screaming. And...I was on my own.- Yeah?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- And then I was... Phoned my mum straightaway, obviously.- Yeah.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Oh, great, hey?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Yeah, and it was... Yes, it was based in Norwich.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It was a live programme on a Friday night
0:27:28 > 0:27:31which went out in the South East and East Anglia.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, now, a couple of problems actually getting to Margate -
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- by road at least.- Yes, if you take the car, how right you are.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39The M2 - lots of roadworks on that.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41First of all junctions 3 and 4
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and again between junctions 5 and 6 -
0:27:43 > 0:27:45that's between Sittingbourne and Faversham.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47If you actually do manage to get there,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49there's plenty of parking, but you have to pay,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51so take plenty of loose change with you,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53or take the train to Margate.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56That was my first live TV, really.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- Well, obviously, Norwich gives you happy memories.- Yeah, very much so.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04And so what we're going to do, we're going to go and have fun.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06- Ooh!- Come on, girl.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I've got a treat in store for Fiona
0:28:11 > 0:28:13with no strings attached.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I've arranged for us to visit the Norwich Puppet Theatre
0:28:17 > 0:28:19where they make these little critters.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Look at that face.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I'm not sure teenage Fiona would've loved this place,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26but I like to broaden horizons.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31So, what I thought we could do is we could make a puppet each.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Could we? I'm not artistically talented at all.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Oh, that's a shame, because I am.- Good.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- And I thought you could try and do one of me...- Right.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41..and I will try and do one of you,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44and then Zara will be the judge.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46So, I've made a start.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- This one is...- Yeah.- ..you. - That's me.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51- I'm glad you've clothed him. - LAUGHING:- Well, yes.- Thank you.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54And this, of course, is the gorgeous Princess Fiona.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Exactly.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58'There's so many bits and pieces here,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00'it's hard to know where to start.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02'Perhaps right in the middle.'
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And straight on goes her little tiny snubby nose.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09'But before I get too far into the puppet-making zone,
0:29:09 > 0:29:14'I want to find out more about Fiona's days on GMTV.'
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Tell me a little bit about working with Eamonn.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18Oh, do you know?
0:29:18 > 0:29:22You can't put two people together and make chemistry - you can't.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Yeah.- We'd come from our audience.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28We were like our audience, and we understood the audience,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31and we had the same sense of humour.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32- Yeah, that's great.- Yeah.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33You certainly did have...
0:29:33 > 0:29:37You know, you could see the chemistry coming through
0:29:37 > 0:29:38with the pair of you.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41We sometimes were incapable of going on, because we were...
0:29:41 > 0:29:43we'd made each other laugh so much.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- And we hoped people at home were laughing too, but...- Yeah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47Really, that doesn't matter, I don't think.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49As long as you're having a good time,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- I think that comes across. - I think it does, yeah.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- And you can tell if people get on and you can tell if they're...- Yeah.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57..you know, just... I think that all comes out.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02But I must say, that period of you and Eamonn on GMTV,
0:30:02 > 0:30:05I think that was the absolute best
0:30:05 > 0:30:08because you could tell there was so much joy going on...
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Yeah. - ..and you could feel it.- Yeah.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14And I look back on those days very, very fondly.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18There's a lot of chemistry in puppet-making, too, you know?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20I'm covered in glue.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23But I'm feeling very confident about my creation.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27She doesn't stand a chance.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I've been doing puppets like this for nearly 50 years.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Look at that. Just look. It's as though...
0:30:33 > 0:30:36It's as though she's standing next to me now.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Fiona's making some final touches to her...thing,
0:30:40 > 0:30:44but now it's time to reveal our craftwork.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- Right, I've finished with him... - Right. Now, put yours in here.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50SHE LAUGHS Put...
0:30:51 > 0:30:53You've given me a mohican.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Oh, look. But I've given you... Look, a 7 as well.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58- Oh, that's kind.- Oh, no, it's gone.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01And I've put you in the ballroom hold.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04However, I'm not very pleased with my nose -
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Cork Nose Goodman... FIONA LAUGHS
0:31:06 > 0:31:08..if I want to be honest.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Well, let's get Zara in. Zara, come forward, please.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14How many marks are you going to give my...?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Look at her golden hair.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18How many are you giving that?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Maybe a seven. - IMITATES LEN:- Seven!
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Another seven. OK, yeah, I'll except a seven.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Now, go over to Fiona's. What are you going to give that?
0:31:27 > 0:31:31I think I'd probably go...
0:31:31 > 0:31:32with an eight.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36It's the first time I've ever won anything!
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- That is the most hurtful thing. - I didn't even win raffles!
0:31:39 > 0:31:42You've colluded. There's been a collu...
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Go on. Well done.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I was robbed. I was robbed!
0:31:47 > 0:31:50I'm not having this. The blooming liberty.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54For some, a holiday is about sampling the local delicacies,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56but for 14-year-old Fiona Phillips,
0:31:56 > 0:32:00you just couldn't beat a good old-fashioned bag of fish and chips.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04However, you've got to sing for your supper with old Lenny boy.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- This is the place. Ooh! - It's lovely. Wow.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Hello.- Now, I know...I know you're hungry, but...- Yeah?
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- ..you used to work in a paper shop, right?- Yeah.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20So... And you never know how your career can turn and change.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- No, you don't.- Do you?- You don't.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27So, they've allowed us to serve fish and chips
0:32:27 > 0:32:29from behind the counter.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31Oh, that would be brilliant.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33'First up, proper chip shop clobber.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36'Oh-ho-ho, I'm going to be good at this.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37'So, we look the part -
0:32:37 > 0:32:40'all we need now is our first customer.'
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Now, look intelligent.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Ah! Hello.- Hello. - What are you after?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Can I get cod and chips with a sausage on the side, please?
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Cod and chips with a sausage...
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Cod and chips with a sausage on the side. Anthony.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54All right...
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- That's that. - 'Get in there, Fiona.'
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Do you want a large portion?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02I've given him... I've given him a large one.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- There you go. Salt and vinegar? - Yes, please.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- OK.- I like doing this.- You're good.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11There you go. It's not wrapped very nicely, but...
0:33:11 > 0:33:13No, wait a moment. We've got to get...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- The fish isn't ready. - The fish is not ready.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Oh, I've given him his chips...! - THEY LAUGH
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Shall I give you some fresh chips?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I feel really guilty now.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- I mean, they are still warm. Hot. - No, they'll be fine.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27You've wrapped them beautifully.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- 'Scuse the fingers.- There you go.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Oh, no, that won't fit. - It's all right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33You see them hanging out of the end.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I'll fold it over.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36'It fits now!'
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Have you seen what he's done to your fish?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- I've only snapped the tail off. - He's bent it over.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- 7.85, nine quid, tenner. - There you go.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48- Thank you.- Cheers a lot.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Can I have your autograph? You're our first customer.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Thank you very, very much. - And probably our last.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Thanks a lot. Thank you. - Bye.- Thank you. Bye. Bye.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Employees of the Month? Definitely.
0:34:01 > 0:34:02I think that went beautifully.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Anthony, if we're going to do any more,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06you've got to buck your ideas up...
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Yeah. - ..cos that was far too slow. God.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12'Right, I've had enough of serving the smiley locals of Norwich.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15'I think Fiona and I deserve some chips to ourselves,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18'although she's very healthy these days, is Fiona.'
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I understand you're a vegetarian.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I am. Well, I've always loved animals.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28We lived near a cattle market in Canterbury at one time,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30and when Mum told me what happened to them,
0:34:30 > 0:34:31- it really made...- Yeah?
0:34:31 > 0:34:36Yeah, so I don't eat meat because I like animals.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41And weren't you voted Sexy Vegetarian of 2007?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Apparently so. WORLD'S Sexiest Vegetarian.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49And Russell Brand was named the World's Sexiest Vegetarian Male.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Russell Grant?- No, Russell Brand! - Oh, Russell Brand.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Could've been Russell Grant! - Could've been Russell Grant.- Yeah.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Now, I'll tell you something else - it put me off for life almost.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02You did that programme about sugar,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04how much sugar was in...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- The Truth About Sugar. - The Truth About Sugar.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09But sugar in supermarkets
0:35:09 > 0:35:11isn't just limited to sweet treats,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14it's actually in quite a few savoury products as well,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18and often with a lot more sugar than you'd think.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22Now, did that change you as well as it changed virtually everyone?
0:35:22 > 0:35:23I was just really worried
0:35:23 > 0:35:26cos I've always brought my kids up with nice food,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28and soon as they become old enough
0:35:28 > 0:35:31to buy food in shops and supermarkets,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34they just eat junk now and so much of it.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37I mean, they buy cans of fizzy drink by the shed load.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39And I was just really worried about
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- the amount of sugar they were packing away.- Yeah.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44And I'm even more worried now I did the programme,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46cos it's in so many things,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48and there's so much of it in everything.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Speaking of watching what you eat,
0:35:50 > 0:35:52I think we'd better walk off these chips.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58While we do, here's the last of my seven things to do
0:35:58 > 0:36:00in and around the lovely Norfolk Broads.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01If you're a foodie,
0:36:01 > 0:36:05here's something else to really get your taste buds tingling.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Each season, thousands of Cromer crabs are caught
0:36:09 > 0:36:11on the chalky Norfolk reefs
0:36:11 > 0:36:14and brought ashore where they're turned, by hand,
0:36:14 > 0:36:16into a lovely local delicacy.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20These crabs are famous for their tender and sweet flesh,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23and they taste every bit as good as they look.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Ooh, yummy.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27No trip to Norwich would be complete
0:36:27 > 0:36:30without a visit to the city's awe-inspiring cathedral.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34This 900-year-old ecclesiastic gem
0:36:34 > 0:36:37is one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture
0:36:37 > 0:36:39in the whole of Europe.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Air enthusiasts will go into a spin
0:36:42 > 0:36:45at the City of Norwich Aviation Museum
0:36:45 > 0:36:47in Horsham St Faith.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50These impressive machines chart the history of aviation
0:36:50 > 0:36:52across the East of England.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Tell us more, Colin.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55The Aviation Museum has been on this site
0:36:55 > 0:36:59from around about 1984, 1985.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00It's original conception
0:37:00 > 0:37:02was in the late 1970s.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04We have a complete range of aircraft here.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06We have 14 full aircraft -
0:37:06 > 0:37:0915 if you include the Harrier that's currently being built.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11We've an extensive range of archives,
0:37:11 > 0:37:16and we have two military aeroplanes that they can view from the inside.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Our two most historically significant aircraft
0:37:19 > 0:37:22are our F27 and Handley Page Herald.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26The F27 has recently undergone significant restoration
0:37:26 > 0:37:31and has been re-sprayed in its originally Air UK colours.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35However all of the aircraft here represent aircraft
0:37:35 > 0:37:37that have flown from bases in Norfolk.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41Spending the day with Fiona,
0:37:41 > 0:37:45it's easy to see she's had a long and clever career
0:37:45 > 0:37:47since her 1975 holiday,
0:37:47 > 0:37:51but one job offer came with real power and responsibility.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53You got a job offer from Gordon Brown.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Yes, I did, when he was forming his government in 2007,
0:37:58 > 0:38:02and he asked me to be Public Health Minister.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06And I didn't quite know how I could do that without being an MP,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09and... Yeah, yeah, it was a great honour to be asked.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11I can remember sitting there with him,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13and when he said it, I thought, "Oh, gosh," you know,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- "Does he really mean me?"- Yeah.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Well, politicians can be competitive,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21and when Fiona came on Strictly, she wasn't, really.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22I did love her, though.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27But today, bringing back memories of the fairground she visited in 1975,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30I want to see if I can bring out some competitive spirit.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Well, you may not be that competitive,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34but I've got to tell you, I am.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36So, I'd like us to have a go at the old coconut shies.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I bet you would.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40I tell you what - it's nothing to do with knocking one off,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- it's hitting one.- OK, OK.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Just hitting it...- All right. - ..will count.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46So, it's a target thing rather than a...
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- Yeah, it's a target thing.- OK.
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Ooh!
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- Oh!- Oh!
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Oh...- Hey, hey, hey!
0:38:59 > 0:39:00- Oh!- Oh!
0:39:00 > 0:39:05'Now, that wasn't bad, but can Fiona do any better?'
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Ooh!- Oh!
0:39:07 > 0:39:08- No!- No.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10We'll get a bit closer.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12I still won't do it.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14You hit it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Oh, you're hitting it lovely now.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Well...I mean, it's not budging. - No, you are.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- It's not...going anywhere. - Oh, you've got a double knocker.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Hold on, there's something I've always wanted to do
0:39:27 > 0:39:29at coconut shies.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32- You see... Get...- Yeah. And this one.- Good. Get on with it.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Fiona admits that she was a bit moody
0:39:36 > 0:39:38when she came here as a teenager,
0:39:38 > 0:39:42but I wonder what Fiona thinks of our Norfolk adventure today.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Well, I hope you've had a bit more fun than you did
0:39:47 > 0:39:50when you were the 14-year-old sulky girl.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Yeah, well, I've smiled a lot more. - You certainly have.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56And I really appreciate what my parents did
0:39:56 > 0:39:58- to bring us here as well.- Yeah.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01And I think, you know, thinking of your parents,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04you know, it must be tinged with a little bit of sadness
0:40:04 > 0:40:08because, of course, they both eventually had Alzheimer's,
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and... But then you faced that
0:40:12 > 0:40:15and you wrote about it and did interviews.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17What prompted you to want to do that?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19My parents weren't elderly.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23You know, my mum...had Alzheimer's in her 50s,
0:40:23 > 0:40:24my dad was only in his 60s,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27and I saw the lack of care,
0:40:27 > 0:40:31the lack of understanding by GPs, by hospital doctors,
0:40:31 > 0:40:32and I was angry.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35And I just thought, "Hang on, if I can't deal with this,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37"how...how do other people deal with it?"

0:41:16 > 0:41:19although I still feel a great guilt that I couldn't do enough,
0:41:19 > 0:41:23and I'm glad that they made...gave me
0:41:23 > 0:41:27their work ethic to get out there aged 11 and do things for myself
