0:00:02 > 0:00:05Childhood holidays! Oh, the anticipation seemed endless.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08The holiday itself? Well, it was over too quickly.

0:00:08 > 0:00:13So, in this series, I'm going to be reliving those wonderful times

0:00:13 > 0:00:15with some much-loved famous faces.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18This is a memory I will treasure.

0:00:18 > 0:00:21'Every day, I'll be arranging a few surprises

0:00:21 > 0:00:23'to transport them back in time.'

0:00:23 > 0:00:25Please? No?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Come on, Len.- Yeah.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29We'll relive the fun...

0:00:29 > 0:00:31- Oh!- Oh!

0:00:31 > 0:00:32Oh, no! No!

0:00:32 > 0:00:34..the games...

0:00:34 > 0:00:36..and the food of years gone by.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38That's my boyhood in a bowl.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Oh.- "My boyhood in a bowl."

0:00:42 > 0:00:46To find out how those holidays around the UK helped

0:00:46 > 0:00:49shape the people we know so well today.

0:00:49 > 0:00:50Tap dance, Len!

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Ah!

0:00:53 > 0:00:56So, buckle up for Holiday Of My Lifetime.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58- Close your eyes.- Yep.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59And...here we go.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09My mystery guest today is an actor who you could say

0:01:09 > 0:01:12knows his way around a bar of soap or two.

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Oh, he is clean!

0:01:16 > 0:01:19He was born in Scarborough in 1973.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Oh, look at that! Star quality.

0:01:24 > 0:01:29He shot to fame as a dishy doctor in EastEnders.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Oh, I bet Dot Cotton's heart couldn't cope!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37During his career, he's gone from the East End to the West End,

0:01:37 > 0:01:38via the Hollywood Hills.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42Plus, he recently walked those hallowed cobbles

0:01:42 > 0:01:44of a certain Weatherfield street.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50But more important than that, he showed us he would strut his stuff

0:01:50 > 0:01:52on the old Strictly dance floor.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Oh, yes! That boy's a mover.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00I'm driving East Is East to meet him. Have you got it yet?

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Of course, you have!

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It's my old mucker, Jimi Mistry.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10And I'm on my way to meet him in this beautiful yellow Ford Capri.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Just like the car he would have driven in on his holidays

0:02:13 > 0:02:14all those years ago.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Tell you what, it ain't half bright.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Hope he's got his sunglasses. Whoo!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Look, look at my shirt. Ooh! Matching.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Jimi's mum, Patricia, was on holiday in Scarborough

0:02:30 > 0:02:32when Little Jimi came into the world.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, you could say he's an honorary Yorkshireman.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39While Jimi's dad, Chandra, trained to become a doctor,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Jimi and his two younger sisters moved around the country.

0:02:42 > 0:02:46So, Jimi developed a knack for fitting into new situations.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48He was always a charmer!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50And it's these skills that would put him

0:02:50 > 0:02:52in good stead for his future acting career.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57After getting his first major break in EastEnders,

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Jimi has gone on to become a well-known face

0:03:00 > 0:03:02on both stage and screen.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I'm looking forward to getting all the gossip from him

0:03:06 > 0:03:08as we relive his holiday memories,

0:03:08 > 0:03:12starting with what I'm sure was the car of little Jimi's dreams.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16HE LAUGHS

0:03:16 > 0:03:17No way.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21That is amazing. I haven't seen one of those for years!

0:03:21 > 0:03:23It's the same colour.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28That is incredible. Look at that beauty.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33HE LAUGHS

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Jimi!- Yes!- How are you? - Len, how are you doing?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Good to see you, good to see you. - Here. What about it?

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Oh, wow, this is a beautiful, beautiful car.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45This is the car of my dreams. This is it, this is what...

0:03:45 > 0:03:49this is what made me tick as a young boy. And it's the right colour.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- My dad had one.- Really?- Same car.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54- So, where are we going?- Castleton.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58- Oh! What's the year?- 1979.- Ooh!

0:03:58 > 0:04:00- The Clash.- The Clash.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- London Calling.- That's right!- Yes!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Well, don't worry about London calling. Castleton calling!

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Here we go! Come on, let's get in.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12LONDON CALLING BY THE CLASH PLAYS

0:04:12 > 0:04:14- You in?- Yes.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Jimi's holiday destination of Castleton lies almost central

0:04:26 > 0:04:31in the 555 square mile Peak District National Park.

0:04:31 > 0:04:3417 miles west of Sheffield and deep in the Hope Valley,

0:04:34 > 0:04:38this picture-postcard village prides itself on its

0:04:38 > 0:04:43surrounding caverns where the unique Blue John stone is mined.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45But Castleton and the surrounding area

0:04:45 > 0:04:47isn't just for the geology buffs.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48The Peak District,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51which incorporates parts of Derbyshire, Staffordshire,

0:04:51 > 0:04:56and Cheshire, is a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Today, I'm taking Jimi back to relive those happy days

0:05:00 > 0:05:04when he came on his holibobs with his mum and dad.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06'We'll be testing our camping skills...'

0:05:06 > 0:05:08BOTH LAUGH Out you come!

0:05:08 > 0:05:11- It's a tug-of-war!- Wahey!

0:05:11 > 0:05:13'..heading for those famous hills...'

0:05:13 > 0:05:17This is not what I'm used to. You know, this is a man-made path.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Do you fancy going straight up?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24'..and trying not to get lost in a maze.'

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Can you see the exit?- Um...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30I think you just... You backtrack what we did.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oh, it's just there.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35'Together, we'll find out how the holiday of the past

0:05:35 > 0:05:38'helped shape this much-loved actor.'

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Before any holiday begins, first you must set out on the journey.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52For six-year-old Jimi, the journey to the Peak District

0:05:52 > 0:05:56was all about driving around in the brightest car on the roads.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Yes, 1979. So, you could have only been a nipper.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Yeah, I was about six or seven. - And where were you coming from?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06At that time, we were coming from Peterborough.

0:06:06 > 0:06:12- Oh, right.- Um, so that was a drive up the A1. A bit of a drive, but...

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- ..you know, we were in this beauty at the time.- Yes.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20So, what was home life like? What did your dad do?

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- Yeah, well, my dad at the time was training to be a doctor.- Yeah?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29So yeah, so he was working a lot of the time. My mum...

0:06:30 > 0:06:33They met at hospital in Peterborough, so my mum was a nurse.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37And it was good, I had a happy childhood, you know. I was...

0:06:37 > 0:06:39I was quite a...

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I had a vivid imagination, let's say.- Yeah.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43And did you stop on the journey

0:06:43 > 0:06:46and did your mum pack up a few sandwiches and things?

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Or was it a, "Let's get there"? - My mum used to...

0:06:50 > 0:06:52- We used to make some sandwiches. - Yes.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Interesting sometimes, the sandwiches. But...

0:06:54 > 0:06:57What were they? Exotic?

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Well...

0:06:58 > 0:07:03There was a time when she actually forgot the filling for the sandwich.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Oh, that's handy.- So, we had...

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- we had two slices of bread and a bit of salt.- Oh, right.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- We had salt sandwiches! - It was a non-sandwich, yeah?

0:07:13 > 0:07:15It was a non-sandwich. But you know what?

0:07:15 > 0:07:18As the young impressionable happy-go-lucky guy I was,

0:07:18 > 0:07:22I didn't mind because we were going on holiday in the yellow Capri.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26So, you know, you got up here. How was the weather?

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Don't say it was like this. - It rained for two days nonstop.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Oh.- So nothing has changed, you have brought the weather with you, Len.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Right, well, I didn't do it on purpose.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40We're going to do all nice things inside the whole day.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- We're not going out.- Oh, really? - No, that's a lie.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45HE LAUGHS

0:07:45 > 0:07:49- I just...- Yeah! See there? Gullible as usual.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51- I thought I'd try and cheer you up. - Yeah, that's brilliant.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53You made me laugh.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56'Jimi's family holiday wasn't the only event

0:07:56 > 0:07:59'to be taking place in 1979.'

0:08:04 > 0:08:07It was quite a year for union action,

0:08:07 > 0:08:11with ITV, lorry drivers and The Times newspaper

0:08:11 > 0:08:14all going on strike during 1979.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18We also met the man who came back from the dead

0:08:18 > 0:08:21when disgraced former MP John Stonehouse left prison

0:08:21 > 0:08:23after serving a three-year sentence.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27He had faked his own death in 1974 and fled to Australia

0:08:27 > 0:08:31to start a new life with his mistress. Cheeky devil!

0:08:31 > 0:08:32But was soon caught out

0:08:32 > 0:08:35and was brought back to Blighty to stand trial.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39And talking of misdirection, for entertainment's sake this time,

0:08:39 > 0:08:43Newton Edward Daniels, or Paul Daniels to you and me,

0:08:43 > 0:08:45debuted his own magic show.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50The show was so popular, it ran from 1979 until 1994.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Magic!

0:08:51 > 0:08:53And in the background to all this,

0:08:53 > 0:08:57The Buggles song Video Killed The Radio Star

0:08:57 > 0:08:59was ringing out.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01# Video killed the radio star... #

0:09:01 > 0:09:04Three years later, the video for this was the first

0:09:04 > 0:09:07to air on a new music channel, MTV.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09And the rest, as we say, is history.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11# We can't rewind We've gone too far. #

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Today, we've arrived on the hills above Castleton

0:09:15 > 0:09:18to get our first glimpse of Jimi's holiday hot spot.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24Well, this I think behind is the...

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Is Mam Tor.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'Hold on, Jimi. We'll climb that later.'

0:09:29 > 0:09:32- This is fabulous.- Yeah, hey?

0:09:32 > 0:09:35You know, coming from Peterborough, which is sort of

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- in a bit of a flat area.- Yeah. - You know? I like...

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Don't get me wrong, I like Peterborough.- It's very flat.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43But it's pretty flat. And then you come up here.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- It's just stunning. - I know. It's amazing.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'd never seen anything like it, really.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You know, you learn a lot about people coming here.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55And I've learned one thing already about you.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57You're a brolly hogger.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Oh! - BOTH LAUGH

0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Sorry, Len.- No, that's all good.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Brolly hogger! BOTH LAUGH

0:10:07 > 0:10:08Oh, yeah.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11So, did you do a lot of hiking when you were on the holiday

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- or was it...?- Yeah! No, we did, yeah.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17- I mean, it rained for two days, like I said.- Yeah?- But it didn't stop us.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18How do you mean?

0:10:18 > 0:10:23Oh, it was good. I mean, I used to do a lot of walking up hills.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Coming back down for me wasn't great.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27My mum said to me, she said I was all right going

0:10:27 > 0:10:29up the mountain when we were hiking,

0:10:29 > 0:10:32but I used to on the way down, I used to pray.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33And I said, "Why?" She goes,

0:10:33 > 0:10:35"Because I didn't want to get my jeans dirty."

0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Ah, yeah.- That's all I was bothered about. Was getting the jeans dirty.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Yeah, pride and joy.- Absolutely. - Yeah. Course.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Did you do a bit of camping or did you stay in?

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Oh, no, camping. It was two days' camping.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50First time I'd ever camped,

0:10:50 > 0:10:53first time, more importantly, my mum had ever camped.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57And my mum wasn't exactly a classic camper.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01And she says now to this day it was the most miserable

0:11:01 > 0:11:03- two days of her life!- Really?

0:11:03 > 0:11:06She couldn't take the rain, she couldn't take the wet,

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- the mist, the dew.- The camping?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12The camping, so we checked into a B&B on the third day

0:11:12 > 0:11:14and everything was a lot better.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- But the plan was...- The plan was...

0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Camping, hiking.- That's it. - Outdoor living.- Absolutely.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24- Cooking over an open fire or whatever.- Yeah, yeah.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Little stove, Calor gas stove.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Yeah.- That was it.- Shall we get back in and go for a little mooch along?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Let's do it.- Come on.

0:11:33 > 0:11:34Oh!

0:11:48 > 0:11:53The little village of Castleton sits below the summit of Mam Tor,

0:11:53 > 0:11:55or Shivering Mountain as it's known locally.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59Some of the houses date back to the 17th century,

0:11:59 > 0:12:03but remains have been found of both the Iron and Bronze Age settlements

0:12:03 > 0:12:05on the top of Mam Tor.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08The village takes its name from the castle up on the hill.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12The castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1086

0:12:12 > 0:12:16and granted to William Peveril, one of his most trusted knights.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Part of the fun of any childhood camping holiday

0:12:22 > 0:12:25is the excitement of roughing it in a tent.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28I've got hold of one just like his mum and dad's.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Let's hope Jimi remembers how to put it up.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33Well, the first big job is getting it out of this.

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Getting it out of the bag!

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- I'll hold it, you... I'll hold it, you pull it.- I will.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39BOTH LAUGH

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Come on then! - Go on, I'm pulling.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Oh, God, let me get this end.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45BOTH LAUGH Out you come!

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- It's a tug-of-war!- Wahey!

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Right!

0:12:51 > 0:12:53'That's the hard part done.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56'Now I've put up a few tents in my time, so I should be good at this.'

0:12:56 > 0:12:59Right, now. Up you come.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02When back in the day, was there any accidents with the tent

0:13:02 > 0:13:03or did it go up like that?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05Was your dad just...?

0:13:05 > 0:13:10Well, it was raining and we pitched the tent up on a slope.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12So what had happened, I had my own little tent and my mum came out

0:13:12 > 0:13:14in the morning to wake me up and she couldn't find me.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17So, she went in a blind panic and she went, "James, James!

0:13:17 > 0:13:19"Where's he gone? Where's he gone?"

0:13:19 > 0:13:21And what I've done is I rolled down the hill.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24And I was in a little ball in my sleeping bag in the corner!

0:13:24 > 0:13:27- She thought I'd gone. - Like a squirrel.- Yeah!- Oh.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31'I think we've done ourselves proud here.'

0:13:31 > 0:13:34Round of applause? OTHERS CHEER

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Thank you, thank you.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39'Looks great. But how did the family fit in here?'

0:13:39 > 0:13:43So, what was the campsite like back then? Was it similar to this?

0:13:43 > 0:13:46Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of... It's all coming back, really.

0:13:46 > 0:13:50I think it's pretty similar. It was a site with a load of tents in it.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Yeah.- Which is pretty much... - Pretty much what we've got here.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55In this beautiful countryside, so...

0:13:55 > 0:13:59So, what made your mum and dad decide to go camping? Was it...?

0:13:59 > 0:14:00Did you know? They just...

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I don't know, I think they just wanted to do something

0:14:03 > 0:14:04very, very different.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06And it was also in the UK.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10And it was a relatively affordable sort of experience.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13You know, we weren't going abroad or anything, so...

0:14:13 > 0:14:16It was kind of like just to have a new experience, really.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19- And it is an adventure. - Oh, it's a complete adventure.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Yeah, pitching the tent and you know, it is.

0:14:22 > 0:14:29And what was it like growing up as a British Asian in the '70s and '80s?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32Was it...? Were you just one of the kids?

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Yeah, I was just definitely one of the kids, you know.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37- I didn't really see myself as anything different.- No.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40Was just out in the street playing football,

0:14:40 > 0:14:43- you know, going on adventures.- Yeah.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46I was kind of brought up in a very sort of traditional,

0:14:46 > 0:14:47say British way.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50So, I was just like the same as everyone, really.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51- Yeah, one of the boys. - Yeah, exactly.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56- And were the other kids here, as you recall?- Yeah, there's kids.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58- Family?- Families.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01You'd always end up kind of like making pals

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- with the nearest tent if they got kids.- Yeah.

0:15:04 > 0:15:08And invariably, you know, have a football knocking about.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11- That's how you used to make friends in this place.- Yeah, yeah.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13But you know what I wouldn't mind?

0:15:13 > 0:15:17- I wouldn't mind having a little of an explore.- Oh, yeah? Let's do it.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19- Shall we?- Let's have a mooch. - Go on, you go first.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20- I love a mooch.- I love a mooch!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23'One of the joys of holidays under canvas is that you can

0:15:23 > 0:15:25'really get to grips with the world around you.'

0:15:27 > 0:15:31I've picked out my top seven Peak District attractions

0:15:31 > 0:15:33that should delight the hardiest of campers.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Now, don't adjust your telly sets.

0:15:38 > 0:15:39You're not seeing things

0:15:39 > 0:15:42and we haven't just nipped over to South America.

0:15:42 > 0:15:47Seven miles south of Castleton is Peak Llamas, home to seven llamas,

0:15:47 > 0:15:50all of whom are the perfect companions

0:15:50 > 0:15:52for a trek around the Peak District.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55None of whom are wearing pyjamas.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56Hey!

0:15:56 > 0:15:59If you're after something more traditional to the region,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02then head over to The Bakewell Pudding Shop.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06In Bakewell, where you can get, you guessed it, a Bakewell pudding.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Not to be confused with a Bakewell tart.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13The Bakewell pudding, which is puff pastry, strawberry jam,

0:16:13 > 0:16:14egg, sugar, butter and ground almonds.

0:16:14 > 0:16:16It's based in Bakewell

0:16:16 > 0:16:18and we like to keep it traditionally in Bakewell.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21And there is regulations to keep it in Bakewell.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23It can't be made anywhere else in the world.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30When not playing around the campsite,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Jimi's family could be found climbing the peaks.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36So in true Jimi fashion, up we go!

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Now, I've just thought something, Jimi.- Yeah.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's all very well, this is not what I'm used to.

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Just... This is a man-made path.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49Do you fancy going straight up?

0:16:51 > 0:16:53No, no. JIMI LAUGHS

0:16:53 > 0:16:55No, it's just entered my head and went away.

0:16:56 > 0:16:57Oh, yeah.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01I can imagine the view's going to be pretty spectacular.

0:17:01 > 0:17:05- I should imagine so, up here. - I hope so. After all this climbing!

0:17:05 > 0:17:08HE LAUGHS Oh.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Hey. Ah, it's fabulous.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Isn't it?- Yeah, it's amazing.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20I feel sort of like Sir Edmund Hillary climbing Everest.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Yeah!

0:17:21 > 0:17:26Was you one of those kids, "Oh, Mum, no, not another mountain to climb!"

0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Or was you in the spirit of it? - No, I was more like...

0:17:30 > 0:17:32"Yes, Mum! OK, where do you want me to climb?"

0:17:32 > 0:17:35It was kind of like so excitable about the whole thing.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- But like I said, I'd never seen anything like this before.- No.

0:17:38 > 0:17:43Growing up in cities and towns and... This was magical.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Well, it's the great outdoors.- Yeah.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49And how did acting...? Did you always want to be an actor?

0:17:49 > 0:17:53No, I mean... I grew up wanting to be a pop star.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Or a heart surgeon or again,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59dreaming about all these fantastical things.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03- And acting came on very late. I was about 16, 17.- And what happened?

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Did you go to a state school or theatre school?

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Oh, I did, yeah, from school.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I just decided that I wanted to give it a go.- Yeah.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14And auditioned for drama school and I got in one.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16- So then I went straight into a drama school.- Right.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18And did you get any work whilst you were there

0:18:18 > 0:18:20or was it after you came out?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I did a couple of little jobs when I was in drama school,

0:18:23 > 0:18:26but it was really when I finally came out,

0:18:26 > 0:18:30- got an agent, moved to London, it all happened very quickly.- Did it?

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- It all happened very quickly, yes. - What was your first job?

0:18:33 > 0:18:36My first job was boy in bank.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40I was boy in bank in an episode of some ITV cop series.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43And I get held up in the bank and all I remember was crying,

0:18:43 > 0:18:45going, "Please don't, please don't shoot!" And that was it.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- And it was the most proudest thing ever.- Yeah!

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Me, I remember watching the TV with Mum

0:18:50 > 0:18:52waiting for my name to come up at the end,

0:18:52 > 0:18:56"Boy In Bank - Jimi Mistry." I was like, "Yes! I made it."

0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Oh, fantastic, though, hey?- Yeah, it was great. It was really good.

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Were your parents supportive about you becoming an actor?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Or did they, "No, you've got to get a proper job"?

0:19:04 > 0:19:07No, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have done it.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Seriously, because I mean, it was kind of a case of...

0:19:09 > 0:19:12I think they realised at that time that this was probably

0:19:12 > 0:19:13a good option for me.

0:19:13 > 0:19:18I wasn't necessarily doing that well at my academic subjects.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22Um, and my dad completely and utterly supported me all the way.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26- And you cracked it.- Well, still going. Still going, Len.

0:19:26 > 0:19:30- Yeah, but you're there, honestly. - So, you know. Yeah, it's been great.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well, this is great. I love it.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38I wonder if the car will drive up and pick us up, take us back down.

0:19:38 > 0:19:43'Not likely. And I know young Jimi was very precious about his jeans.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44'So before we continue...'

0:19:44 > 0:19:46You know, you've got a very nice pair of jeans on.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I think we should roll them up in case we get the bottom stained.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Do you think so?- Yeah, I'm going to roll one.- Shall we give it a go?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54This is my only pair. I'm not going to wreck these.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56- This could catch on.- Yeah.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59There.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- About as far as I can go.- Yeah.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Pull me socks up, I want a bit of warmth.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Here we go.- Shall we try and get down here?- Yeah, now...

0:20:11 > 0:20:13There you are.

0:20:13 > 0:20:14Ah!

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Ah, couple of lads.- Couple of lads!

0:20:17 > 0:20:19'Now all that climbing's got me a bit peckish.

0:20:19 > 0:20:23'So it's back to the car to see if Jimi will like my surprise,

0:20:23 > 0:20:27'his mum's speciality, salty sarnies.'

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Just open the glove box, if you would.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32See what... See what's lurking.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34Oh! Hello! Oh, hello!

0:20:34 > 0:20:38Get in there! HE LAUGHS

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- You knew I was coming for dinner. - Yeah! So...

0:20:41 > 0:20:45- Would you like me to administer the salt?- Yeah, give it a nice salt.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- That's it. Yeah.- Is that all right?

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Well, considering there's no filling,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53you better go a bit heavier with the salt. OK, lovely!

0:20:53 > 0:20:56- There you go, sir. - What about you?- There we go.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Some nice little sprinkling on there. We might be good to go.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02- Bon appetit.- Bon appetit!

0:21:07 > 0:21:10- There's nothing wrong with that. - It's not bad at all, is it?- No.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15No, I think, you know... Yeah.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16It's better than I remembered it.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- This could catch on, couldn't it? - Well, there you go.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22To be honest, I like it but not that much.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Shall we move on?- Let's do it. - Ignition.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28REVS ENGINE

0:21:34 > 0:21:38A holiday in the Peak District is all about the great outdoors.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43If you want to get up high for a fantastic view of the area,

0:21:43 > 0:21:47then you can't go wrong with the Heights Of Abraham cable car.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51The tourist attraction is situated on the edge of the Peak District

0:21:51 > 0:21:55and the cable car offers spectacular views of the national park.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57And once your feet touch the ground again,

0:21:57 > 0:22:00there's an adventure playground for kiddiewinkles.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04The Peak District is famous for its history of mining.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07If you want to find out more, the appropriately named

0:22:07 > 0:22:12Peak District Lead Mining Museum in Matlock Bath is the perfect place.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15But don't just think you'll be learning about recent history

0:22:15 > 0:22:18as lead mining in this region goes back to Roman times.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Romans, they were prolific miners.

0:22:20 > 0:22:25They sent the gleam of a lead ore to all parts of the Roman Empire,

0:22:25 > 0:22:28which, of course, they used for plumbing, for roofing.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31A very good and very durable commodity.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34This truly is a mine of information.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Hey!

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Keeping on the theme of miners

0:22:37 > 0:22:40and back in Castleton itself is Speedwell Cavern.

0:22:40 > 0:22:44Here you can take a boat trip through the underground caverns

0:22:44 > 0:22:48and learn what life was really like in the 18th-century lead mine.

0:22:53 > 0:22:57Nothing makes a rainy camping trip better than some food

0:22:57 > 0:22:59cooked over the campfire.

0:22:59 > 0:23:03For the Mistry family, that tended to be something simple and hearty.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05And no offence to Jimi's mum,

0:23:05 > 0:23:09but of those sarnies were a couple of fillings short of a picnic.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13So, thank goodness his dinner would have been bangers and beans.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Oh! Fire it up, Jimi.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19- Sausages!- What's your favourite? You know, what is your signature dish?

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Pfft! I love cooking food with flavour. So, it's quite...

0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's either kind of Asian food, Indian food,

0:23:26 > 0:23:29Mediterranean food, Spanish, you know.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33- I like a lot of flavour in my food. - So, do you do all the herbs?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Do all the spice... Grind all the spices, do all the herbs.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38- You do it all? - Yeah, yeah, all.- Gosh!

0:23:38 > 0:23:40If you're going to do it, you've got to do it properly.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah, of course, you have.

0:23:42 > 0:23:44We lived on this stuff when I was camping anyway,

0:23:44 > 0:23:46so this is exactly what we would eat.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Well, it's proper camping food, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:23:49 > 0:23:54- What was it like working on EastEnders?- EastEnders was great.

0:23:54 > 0:23:56It was...it was one of my first jobs,

0:23:56 > 0:24:00the first taste of kind of being in a recognised show.

0:24:00 > 0:24:05- Yeah.- So, it was an amazing experience. It was slightly...

0:24:05 > 0:24:07..unnerving walking down the street and people pointing at you

0:24:07 > 0:24:11going, "Hey, it's that guy from the telly!" You know. As you know.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15So, it's kind of a... It was a great experience for me as a young actor.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Yeah.- Mm.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21- What? Nice?- All right.- Really? - Good job, I reckon.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24Mm.

0:24:24 > 0:24:28- What about Corrie? How did you enjoy that?- Well...

0:24:28 > 0:24:33- There's not many actors that have done both.- No.- Enders and Corrie.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36You know, Corrie was more recently and it was...

0:24:36 > 0:24:41You know, the show is a great show and to have a chance to be in it...

0:24:41 > 0:24:43And it was a great 18 months of,

0:24:43 > 0:24:46you know, stories and I went out in a big blaze of glory.

0:24:46 > 0:24:48It was a brilliant experience.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Very different from my Enders one because I was a lot older

0:24:51 > 0:24:53and I'd done a lot more since then.

0:24:53 > 0:24:55- But um, I loved it.- Yeah.

0:25:03 > 0:25:08Peter Harrison has lived in Castleton since 1945 and together

0:25:08 > 0:25:11with his wife, Anne, has stayed in the same cottage

0:25:11 > 0:25:13for nearly 60 years.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16So, if anyone should know how the tourism industry

0:25:16 > 0:25:19in this place has changed over the years, it's them.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22It was a very quiet village.

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Er, the tourist trade was very seasonable.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30It opened at Easter and closed at the end of September.

0:25:30 > 0:25:36And nothing throughout the winter in the tourist industry.

0:25:36 > 0:25:40There were five food shops in those days and a butcher.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42And a hairdresser.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46Um, so, you know, you had to go to Sheffield for things

0:25:46 > 0:25:48that you couldn't get locally.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Well, there's no need to go to Sheffield today

0:25:56 > 0:26:00because Jimi's next trip down memory lane is closer at hand.

0:26:00 > 0:26:02He used to visit the caverns

0:26:02 > 0:26:06where Castleton's Blue John stone is mined.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08The stone is unique to Castleton

0:26:08 > 0:26:11and was first found around 2,000 years ago by the Romans

0:26:11 > 0:26:15but wasn't commercially mined until the 1700s.

0:26:15 > 0:26:19The stone can be cut and polished into ornaments or used in jewellery,

0:26:19 > 0:26:23so I've brought Jimi to a local workshop where Jack Mosley

0:26:23 > 0:26:26will put our polishing skills to the test.

0:26:26 > 0:26:31- Jimi? This is Jack.- Hello, nice to meet you.- Hi, Jack. Nice meet you.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32Jack!

0:26:33 > 0:26:37- Good to see you. Now... I think when you were here...- Yeah?

0:26:38 > 0:26:42- ..back in the day, you went down in the caverns.- Yeah.- Yeah?

0:26:42 > 0:26:44Yeah, that's absolutely right.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46One of my kind of most vivid memories was

0:26:46 > 0:26:50- going into the caverns in this area cos it's famous for it.- Yeah.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54And as a young kid and kind of with a vivid imagination,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56it felt like I was going to the centre of the Earth.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- It was so exciting. - Yeah, the bat cave.- Yeah!

0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Yeah, it did!- Down you went.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Now, I know that you are very competitive

0:27:03 > 0:27:05cos I remember your time on Strictly.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07- Ha! Try my best. - Try your best.- Yeah.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10So, I thought what we would do, we'd have a competition to see

0:27:10 > 0:27:15who could polish the best and get the best shine and sheen on it.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20Who's...? And whoever wins, the other one buys the coffee.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Bring it on.- Bring it on. - Let's give it a go.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27'First off, we need to smooth down some stones.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31'This can take some time, so I think I'll delve into Jimi's film career.'

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Like scrubbing the kitchen floor. - Yeah, it is a bit. Lovely.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40- One of the films I vividly remember was East Is East.- Oh, yeah!

0:27:40 > 0:27:43How was that? How did you enjoy that?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46I mean, that was the start of my whole career.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50I mean, it was the most amazing experience to be involved with.

0:27:50 > 0:27:53- I was... I did the... It was a stage play before.- Right.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56- So, you didn't do the stage...? - I did do the stage play, yeah.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59- I was a young actor straight out of school.- Yeah?

0:27:59 > 0:28:00And I was kind of given

0:28:00 > 0:28:03this opportunity to...

0:28:03 > 0:28:04You know, to do this

0:28:04 > 0:28:06great, great film.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09'Buffing done, now we get to play with the polishing machine.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10'Ooh! Excitement!'

0:28:10 > 0:28:14As the honoured guest, I'm going to allow you to go first.

0:28:14 > 0:28:18- Oh, right, OK. Let's see, let's see what I can do.- Lovely.

0:28:18 > 0:28:23- What about Leonardo DiCaprio and Blood Diamond?- Oh, yeah.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27- How was that?- That was great. - What was he like?- He's amazing.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Yeah, yeah...- Is he just like a geezer? You know, just a regular...

0:28:30 > 0:28:32Really normal guy.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34But a brilliant actor and you know, for someone to

0:28:34 > 0:28:37- be like probably one of the most famous actors in the world...- Yeah.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- ..to work with him was absolutely brilliant.- Yeah, let's have a look.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42Ready to go.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- OK, now just...- I'll... Shall I step aside?- Yeah, just step aside.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49- It's the master. - Let the professional in.- Master.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53What, you know, of all the things you've been on...

0:28:53 > 0:28:57You know, which one would you say you're the most proudest of?

0:28:57 > 0:29:01Weirdly enough, one of my proudest was doing Strictly. Because...

0:29:01 > 0:29:04Not just because you were in it and we met.

0:29:04 > 0:29:07But because it was something so out of my comfort zone.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11And to be able to go out there on a Saturday night and perform

0:29:11 > 0:29:14in front of all those millions of people as an actor was terrifying.

0:29:14 > 0:29:18- It was so rewarding.- Well, you know, the fact that it's live.

0:29:18 > 0:29:22- You get one hit.- Whereas actors, we like to have another go, please.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Yeah, yeah.- We don't get another go, do we?!

0:29:26 > 0:29:27- So, I'm ready. - All right, come on then.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29'Verdict time.

0:29:29 > 0:29:32'And Jack looks as tough a judge as Craig Revel Horwood.'

0:29:33 > 0:29:34Jack.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36I need to polish mine a bit more.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38- No, look. - I was just going to have a...

0:29:38 > 0:29:41I want you to have a look and I don't want...

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- Don't be nice to people. - Don't be nice?

0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Know what I mean? Tell the truth, come on.- Apart from you.

0:29:47 > 0:29:51- This is Jimi's effort.- Attempt. - Quite a poor effort.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53What would you give it out of ten?

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Um, well seeing as it's his first...

0:29:55 > 0:29:57Yeah, first go.

0:29:57 > 0:30:01..and it's pretty good for a first go and not much training,

0:30:01 > 0:30:03I'd say maybe a six.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05Yes! Quite happy with that.

0:30:05 > 0:30:09- I'm going to go with the obvious number.- No, I guessed that. Yes!

0:30:09 > 0:30:13So, that's Jimi's, a six, yeah. Now what about this gorgeous...?

0:30:13 > 0:30:16No, don't look at it carefully cos it would blind you.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20- Don't look at it carefully?- Yeah... The sheen would blind you.- So shiny!

0:30:23 > 0:30:24Well, it's slightly better.

0:30:25 > 0:30:28- But you still need to get that right.- What bit?

0:30:28 > 0:30:30But the bit that you've done is very good,

0:30:30 > 0:30:32so I'd say probably about an eight.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Ooh!- OK, thanks a million. - Thank you.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37You're buying the coffee.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Go on, then. Let's go. - Straight over.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40'Oh, get in!'

0:30:48 > 0:30:50As Castleton dates back to Norman times,

0:30:50 > 0:30:53you'd expect the little place to have some unique traditions.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55And so it does.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57Every year on 29 May,

0:30:57 > 0:31:01the entire village comes out to celebrate Garland Day.

0:31:01 > 0:31:04With its roots dating back to the 1700s, the festival

0:31:04 > 0:31:09consists of a procession through the streets led by king and consort,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12both dressed in ceremonial costumes

0:31:12 > 0:31:14and the king wearing a garland of flowers.

0:31:16 > 0:31:18The actual garland is a beehive-shaped framework

0:31:18 > 0:31:20covered with flowers and greenery.

0:31:20 > 0:31:25And this is put over the king's head as he rides round the village.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28The king and the consort being on horseback.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29The procession goes round the village,

0:31:29 > 0:31:33would visit every pub and stop and dance there and drink there.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36And then when we reach the church gates, the actual...

0:31:36 > 0:31:41the queen is actually the top of the garland. That is taken off.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47And then the beehive is hooked up and hoisted to the top of the tower.

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Not much has changed in the festival's history

0:31:49 > 0:31:52except one surprising factor.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55The biggest change in the garland was, of course,

0:31:55 > 0:31:59the consort was a man dressed as a woman.

0:31:59 > 0:32:04And then when the last man retired and we couldn't find one

0:32:04 > 0:32:08to take his place, so we had to have a young lady.

0:32:09 > 0:32:14And we've had a young lady, different ones ever since.

0:32:14 > 0:32:15Lovely.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22It wasn't just Castleton Jimi visited as a child.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Just over 14 miles south of the village is Chatsworth House,

0:32:25 > 0:32:28home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

0:32:28 > 0:32:32This stately home has been passed down through 16 generations

0:32:32 > 0:32:34of the Cavendish family.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38And back in '79, Jimi made some very fond memories here.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41- It doesn't get any better than this. - It's amazing.

0:32:41 > 0:32:46The house is brilliant but the garden, over 100 acres of garden.

0:32:46 > 0:32:51- And it's all mowed.- Yes! You wouldn't want that job.- No!

0:32:51 > 0:32:53You know, coming back here,

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- does this bring back lovely memories of...?- No, this definitely does.

0:32:56 > 0:33:01- Yeah.- This is a perfect part of this journey.

0:33:01 > 0:33:07I just remember being here walking around, being at the Cascade,

0:33:07 > 0:33:10which is up there with the steps and the water going down.

0:33:10 > 0:33:11Stunning. And this.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14- Eh?- I remember this.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17And you came here, stood there and had your photograph taken?

0:33:17 > 0:33:21Yeah, I had the photograph taken from the fountain.

0:33:21 > 0:33:26- I'll tell you what. What a place. - Amazing place.- Isn't it?

0:33:26 > 0:33:30The trouble is, if I'm honest, watching that fountain...

0:33:31 > 0:33:33..I think I need the toilet.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Oh! - BOTH LAUGH

0:33:35 > 0:33:38- I think it's back down there. - Let's race off!

0:33:38 > 0:33:41There are 105 acres of garden at Chatsworth House

0:33:41 > 0:33:45and I'm sure little Jimi would have romped around all over it.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48But I really hope his memory is as good as he says it is

0:33:48 > 0:33:51as we're about to tackle the maze.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Oh, I tell you what this is going to be.

0:33:55 > 0:33:56A-maze-ing.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00CHURCH BELL RINGS JIMI LAUGHS

0:34:00 > 0:34:04- It's amazing.- Yes, yes!- Right.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08Now, this is it. Trust me. Right, see?

0:34:10 > 0:34:11Now while we're walking along,

0:34:11 > 0:34:14- I've got to talk about one of my favourite films.- Oh, yeah.

0:34:14 > 0:34:20- RocknRolla.- Oh!- Hey, how was that?- That's great. That was cool.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Yeah, I loved doing that. The dodgy counsellor.- Yeah.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Great working with Guy, great working with all those good actors.

0:34:27 > 0:34:29I love all these films, like yourself.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32I love all the Lock Stock and all of that,

0:34:32 > 0:34:36- so to be involved in one of those was really super.- Yeah.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Plenty of shooting and firing going.- That's it.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42You know, "Leave it," and all that sort of stuff.

0:34:42 > 0:34:44- It was great.- "Leave it!"

0:34:44 > 0:34:46"Leave it!" It was brilliant, it was brilliant. So, yeah.

0:34:46 > 0:34:51- What about The Guru? How was that? - Ah.- Now that must have been a laugh?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53That was kind of when I...

0:34:53 > 0:34:57..was seen first probably in the States and stuff like that.

0:34:57 > 0:35:02- It was a lot of dancing, a lot of fun.- Yeah?- You know, great co-stars.

0:35:02 > 0:35:07- It was a very good time in my life, you know. It was brilliant.- Yeah.

0:35:07 > 0:35:11- We did three lefts.- Yeah? - We've done the two rights.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- And then there was straight on. It's left.- It's a left.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's a long, what you call a long left.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18Right, OK, I'm following you, then.

0:35:18 > 0:35:20OK, this is better. Here!

0:35:21 > 0:35:27- Somebody told me you love the DJing.- Ah! Yeah.

0:35:27 > 0:35:28I have done since I was a kid.

0:35:28 > 0:35:31- It was my other real passion, you know.- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:35:31 > 0:35:34- No, I love it.- Do you have...? Have you got a name?

0:35:34 > 0:35:37You know, those DJs have names, don't they?

0:35:37 > 0:35:39I've had a few over the years.

0:35:39 > 0:35:40What have you got now?

0:35:40 > 0:35:43What's your latest handle or whatever they call...?

0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Mr Mist.- Mr Mist.- Mist! That's it.

0:35:47 > 0:35:49I could do a bit of DJing. I love music.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52- What would your name be, though, do you reckon?- Well, I could have...

0:35:52 > 0:35:54- I could have Goodie Goodman. - Yeah, Goodie Goodman.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- What about DJ Good Man? - DJ Good Man.- Yeah!

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- He's mean on the machine. - On the machine! He's a man who can.

0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Has a man. A man who can!- Yes!

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Look where I've got us.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- There you go, where are we now? - We're in the centre.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13- We're in the centre of the maze. - Now, what... Just climb up on there.

0:36:13 > 0:36:18- I would do it, but I can't.- Shall I have a look? Without showing me...

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Don't show your bottom. - Oh, my goodness.- Hey?

0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Can you see the exit?- Um... - I think you just...

0:36:25 > 0:36:29- You backtrack what we did. - We're there.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Well, it's just there.- Yeah.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35Ooh! Bongo Billy.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- Goodie Goodman. - Goodie Good Man. Yes.

0:36:39 > 0:36:44- With his mean machine.- That's it, yeah. On the ones and twos.- Yeah.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46Yeah, I could be The Champ...

0:36:46 > 0:36:48..with the amp.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50- Yeah! - HE LAUGHS

0:36:50 > 0:36:54- There you go!- Right. Now straight back.- Yeah.

0:36:54 > 0:36:55This way.

0:36:56 > 0:36:59Right, I'm going to let you... See if you can do it.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02'Getting to the centre of the maze was only half the battle.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04'I hope Jimi does know how to get out.'

0:37:10 > 0:37:11Get the wind in your sails

0:37:11 > 0:37:13and visit one of the remaining

0:37:13 > 0:37:15six-sailed windmills in England,

0:37:15 > 0:37:17situated on the way to Derby.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20Now, it started off life in 1797

0:37:20 > 0:37:22with only four sails.

0:37:22 > 0:37:23But now it's got six sails.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26But its six sails are not for sale.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Get it?

0:37:27 > 0:37:31The wind came from the wrong direction in 1894,

0:37:31 > 0:37:34swept the whole of the top of the windmill, as you can see up there,

0:37:34 > 0:37:35off the top.

0:37:35 > 0:37:36And it had to be rebuilt.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40Trams to the left of me, trams to the right.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42In fact, there's a whole village of them.

0:37:42 > 0:37:46Just outside the Peaks is the Crich Tramway Village,

0:37:46 > 0:37:49home to the largest collection of these vintage vehicles

0:37:49 > 0:37:50in Great Britain.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53But it's not just trams, this period village boasts

0:37:53 > 0:37:58old-style sweet shops, pubs and even a small museum

0:37:58 > 0:38:00dedicated to letterpress printing.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07After leading me a right merry dance through the maze, I think

0:38:07 > 0:38:12I need to sit down, so Jimi and I can chat about his holiday memories

0:38:12 > 0:38:14and grand plans for the future.

0:38:14 > 0:38:19And I think the magnificent Painted Hall inside Chatsworth House

0:38:19 > 0:38:21is just the place to do this.

0:38:22 > 0:38:24I tell you, what do you think of this?

0:38:24 > 0:38:28- The Painted Hall in Chatsworth House.- It's incredible.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30I mean, it's absolutely incredible. It's a real...

0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Kind of gives you a real sense of history and grandeur.- Fantastic.

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Seen so much more than I remember,

0:38:39 > 0:38:41so it's like something I'd definitely come to...

0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Will you come back? - Yeah, without a doubt.

0:38:44 > 0:38:49Fancy getting killed off on Corrie? Hey? What was that like?

0:38:49 > 0:38:53Well, I mean, it was...it was a great way to go.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56And I wasn't ever going to be there forever.

0:38:56 > 0:39:00So, I like stories with a beginning, a middle and an end.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02And that gave me a definite end.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05But the great thing was that no-one knew it was coming

0:39:05 > 0:39:06and it was such a big...

0:39:07 > 0:39:10..kind of blaze of glory, that it was...

0:39:10 > 0:39:12it was a bit of drama, it was really good drama

0:39:12 > 0:39:14and that's what I wanted to do there.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16- So it was great. - What about your time on Strictly?

0:39:17 > 0:39:20Well, let's just say, first of all...

0:39:21 > 0:39:26- ..because of Strictly, you met the love of your life.- Yeah!- Right?

0:39:26 > 0:39:32- Flavia.- Flavia, yeah. My wife.- Yes, your wife.- Yeah!- Yeah, so...

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- that alone is worth the... - That alone, yeah, but the...

0:39:36 > 0:39:39I mean, the experience of the show itself was pretty amazing.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42And from that, lots of great things have happened,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45- including meeting my wife. - Meeting your wife.

0:39:45 > 0:39:49Flavia Cacace became a dancer on Strictly in 2006.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53After being paired with Jimi in 2010,

0:39:53 > 0:39:55the pairs' eyes met across the Sea Of Diamantes

0:39:55 > 0:39:59and there was no turning back for the Strictly lovebirds.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01And they got married three years later.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03And coming here, coming to this...

0:40:03 > 0:40:07you know, out to this area, coming to Chatsworth House and...

0:40:09 > 0:40:11..living in a tent for a couple of days,

0:40:11 > 0:40:17do you think doing all that helped to make you become you did become?

0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Who you are?- Well, think about it this way.

0:40:19 > 0:40:21If you think that on that holiday...

0:40:21 > 0:40:24That holiday was my first adventure and I went on...

0:40:24 > 0:40:26You know, we did my adventures in the bushes,

0:40:26 > 0:40:28did the camping, did everything.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31From then, my whole life has become an adventure.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34So, of course, it was the beginning of this whole journey for me.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36Yeah, yeah. Well, there you go.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39I've had the best laugh I could possibly ever have.

0:40:39 > 0:40:43- It's been so much fun.- Brilliant. - It's just been great.- Give us a hug.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Hey, come on. - Come on. Let's hug it out.- Yeah.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48Aw!

0:40:50 > 0:40:53It's been a wonderful day and I'm so happy

0:40:53 > 0:40:56Jimi shared his memories of Castleton with me.

0:40:57 > 0:40:59'We've had a gourmet cuisine in the rain...'

0:40:59 > 0:41:01Nothing wrong with that.

0:41:01 > 0:41:03- It's not bad at all, is it?- No.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06To be honest, I liked it but not that much.

0:41:08 > 0:41:10'..showed the tent who's boss...'

0:41:11 > 0:41:12Up you come.

0:41:14 > 0:41:16Round of applause? OTHERS CHEER

0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Thank you, thank you.- Well done.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20JIMI LAUGHS

0:41:20 > 0:41:24'..and went back to being little boys in short trousers.'

0:41:24 > 0:41:25- This could catch on.- Yeah.

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Now...

0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Ah, a couple of lads. - Couple of lads!

0:41:31 > 0:41:33'Spending the day here with Jimi,

0:41:33 > 0:41:36'it's obvious how much his childhood holidays meant to him.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38'And to remember the day,

0:41:38 > 0:41:42'I've got a souvenir that I just know he's going to love.'
