00:04APPLAUSE
00:18APPLAUSE
00:19Good afternoon and welcome to the character...
00:29...studios on the opening day of Heritage Open Days.
00:35It's an extraordinary thing, the country's largest festival of history and culture.
00:41And over the next few days, and I'm going to read this to you, wait for these stats,
00:452,500 organisations are involved, 5,000 events are taking place,
00:50and 40,000 volunteers will be helping out to enable people to go to places
00:55that are not normally open to the public.
00:57It's a fascinating thing.
00:58And I remember, once upon a time, I went somewhere so secret,
01:02so few people had been to it, and yet it was so famous.
01:05It was the Queen's House buried deep in the Tower of London.
01:09It's where the constable of the Tower lives.
01:12And he took me to a room, Rachel, where Guy Fawkes had been tried.
01:16It was a dread room.
01:17And he said, now, I want to take you to a very secret place.
01:21And he led me along a stone corridor, quite ominous sort of place, into a cell.
01:27And over in the corner, to my amazement, there was a very modern lavatory.
01:33I said, what on earth's that doing there?
01:35I mean, this is a sort of a medieval fort built by William the Conqueror.
01:40What's that lavatory doing in here?
01:41He said, well, it's a strange story.
01:42But had Hitler been caught by the British, he would have been brought here,
01:47imprisoned in the Tower, and under the Geneva Convention,
01:51he would have to have had a flush lavatory.
01:54And there it is.
01:56Extraordinary.
01:57Now, tell me about the hidden place that you've been that excited you,
01:59or thrilled you, or frightened you.
02:01Well, I went, I was lucky enough to go to the powers of the parliament.
02:05I did a charity photo shoot with my mum for an animal campaigner
02:09who works with a politician who actually took us inside.
02:12So we saw PMQs, and then we were given a tour.
02:14And if you're with a politician, you get to go kind of behind the bits
02:17where the policemen have got the keys and they let you in.
02:19So we saw the cupboard where Emily Davison hid, I think it was 1911,
02:23where she wanted to sleep there overnight while the census was being done
02:27so that her address that night was the Houses of Parliament
02:30and obviously protesting for equal rights for women in government.
02:34So that was very interesting.
02:35And there's a chapel down there as well.
02:37Very good.
02:38But no, it's an enormous place.
02:39Of course, lots of cubby holes there, I'm sure.
02:42Now, there's no hiding place here for Steve Anderson,
02:45our chef from Uckfield, who defeated Nicky Sassdiner yesterday.
02:50She was a four-time winner, so congratulations to you.
02:53Tightly run thing.
02:54It was.
02:54It was.
02:55Went to a crucial conundrum, but there we are.
02:57Or indeed, here you are, up against Sarah Holey,
03:00a marketing manager from Colville in Leicestershire, I think, isn't it?
03:04Yes, correct.
03:04Marketing manager.
03:05What sort of industry are you in?
03:07I'm in the brick industry.
03:09Bricks.
03:10Yeah.
03:10One brick's pretty much like another, isn't it?
03:12No, a brick is not just a brick.
03:14We've got over 450, so there's quite a lot of difference.
03:16Oh, that takes marketing then.
03:18Yeah.
03:18And you're up against lots of other brick manufacturers in the country, I guess.
03:21There's quite a few, yeah.
03:23Excellent stuff.
03:24Well done.
03:24Let's have a big round of applause for Sarah.
03:27Sarah and Steve.
03:28And Susie's in the corner.
03:34Of course she is.
03:35And she's been a broadcaster for over 40 years.
03:37It's the wonderful Gloria Hunniford.

12:10but, yeah, we tend to say aeroplane, don't we?
12:12But it's fine in the dictionary.
12:14Exactly, exactly.

13:37Well done, indeed.
13:38And we've covered the 480, then.
13:40That's the only way I feel.
13:40There we go.
13:41All right.
13:42So, well done, Sarah.
13:4344 to 12 as we turn to Gloria.
13:46Hey, I'm here.
13:47And today?
13:48Oh, I've got a couple of naughty stories today, really.
13:50Good.
13:52Actually, you know how we lost Roger Moore?
13:54You know, marvelous-looking man.
13:56And we saw so many gorgeous photographs of him after he died.
14:00So, he was a big loss this year.
14:01But there are many, many anecdotes about him.
14:05And a friend of mine, I think there's about 100 anecdotes about him in the book.
14:10But one goes right back to when he was married to his third wife, Louisa.
14:15And it was in the White Elephant in London, a very, very famous place for dinner then.
14:19And so, there were our mutual friends, Leslie and Evie Brickes.
14:23Leslie is a big songwriter, stop the word, I want to get off, et cetera.
14:27Louisa and Roger.
14:29And they were waiting for Peter Cook to come in.
14:32And it was at the time of hot pants.
14:34And apparently, Peter's wife was just drop-dead gorgeous.
14:37And she walked in, in hot pants.
14:40And it was the first time that people had sort of seen them walked out, if you like, particularly in the evening.
14:44And the whole restaurant turned to look, because she was particularly gorgeous.
14:49And Louisa, very fiery, she took her hand.
14:51I won't do it.
14:52She slapped Roger across the face.
14:54And he went, why did you do that?
14:56And she said, just in case, sir.
15:00But the other one, which is personal, the same Leslie and Evie Brickes.
15:04We have a family home down in France.
15:05And they live very close.
15:07And one night, because I'd interviewed Roger over the years, you know, by various things, UNICEF and also his career, et cetera.
15:14But Leslie said, why don't you come to dinner?
15:16Because Roger and his new wife, as it were, Christina, are coming.
15:21And so I was very excited about the fact, and now I'm going to have dinner with 007.
15:26Great.
15:26So the house was quite hard to find.
15:29And in my panic, you know, I don't like to be late.
15:31And I panic.
15:32And I actually went down a builder's hole in the road.
15:35The car, everything went down.
15:36Obviously not too deep, but we were stuck.
15:38So the host had to come out and retrieve us.
15:42And I was so embarrassed.
15:44And as he turned into his house, there standing on the balcony was Roger in the fading sunlight,
15:49looking magnificent, as he always had.
15:52And he said, where the heck have you been, Moneypenny?
15:55Or should I say Honeypenny?
16:00That's very sweet.
16:02He'd been practicing that one for a few minutes, I'm sure.
16:05Well, no, he was just such a character.
16:08And that wit, you know, I remember somebody recently asking him, or this year, asking him, you know,
16:13but which of the other Bond films did you like?
16:16And he went, were there any?
16:18He was very sharp, right up to the end.
16:21But apparently the kindest, most gentle, sort of friendly man.
16:25Yes.
16:25You know, if anybody wanted an autograph, sure.
16:28Oh, yes.
16:28And many stories about him at airports, particularly when children would come up.
16:31And if he didn't sign James Bond, if he said, like, Roger Moore, the child would come back and say,
16:38you signed the wrong name.
16:40It should be James Bond 007.
16:42And he goes, shh.
16:43But, you know, people might recognize, so he kept with Roger Moore.
16:47Brilliant.
16:48So he's very sweet, yeah.
16:49Lovely man.
16:50All right, well done.
16:50I did like Roger Moore.
16:51Well done, Gloria.
16:57Well done.

23:30What have you got?
23:32I've only got a gift.
23:34All right.
23:34And?
23:35Yeah, no, I was hoping for a pogey, but not in on its own.
23:40It's not a bogey, a pogey.
23:41A pogey, yeah.
23:42It's just, yeah, Australian time.
23:44But, um, you can go to the offie, get a drink if you want to, the off licence.

25:07Uh, seven.
25:08A seven.
25:09Sarah?
25:10Just a six.
25:11Your six?
25:12Uh, penned.
25:14Penned and?
25:15Spender.
25:16Spender.
25:17Yeah.
25:18Well done.
25:20We ought to have a seven.
25:21Endured.
25:23Endured.
25:23Yeah.
25:23Endured.
25:24That's it?
25:25That was it.
25:25Yep, seven is our best.
25:26Well done, Steve.
25:27You've crept up a bit there.
25:2871 to 42.
25:29As we turn to Susie.
25:31Now, what...
25:32What little essay of brilliance have you produced for us today?
25:36Uh, when we talk about something that's a piece of cake, um, if something is a piece of cake,
25:40obviously it's incredibly easy, and we know that cake goes down very easily.
25:44Um, we're not completely sure of the origin of this one, but, uh, it might actually go back to, uh, quite a lovely story.
25:51You remember the Mary Poppins song, um, A Spoonful of Sugar?
25:55It says, every task you undertake becomes a piece of cake.
25:58That certainly, uh, cemented it in the popular imagination, but we think it, in fact, goes back to the 19th century,
26:04when cakewalks were incredibly popular in America, particularly amongst the African-American communities.
26:11Basically, couples would compete, they would go arm in arm, and they would walk as elegantly and as fashionably as possible.
26:18And the prize was a cake, and that was awarded to the most grateful and stylish team going.
26:24It demanded skill and grace, but the term came to be used from there for a boxing fight that was, uh, very, very easily won.
26:32And so it's very possible that piece of cake followed the similar route.
26:36So from the sophisticated art of cakewalking back in the 19th century to the easiest thing imaginable.
26:42Uh, but it didn't end there either, because, um, in America, they also talked about taking the cake, which was to carry off the honours.
26:50And that, of course, in British English, became taking the biscuit, uh, which for a while was a really good thing to take the biscuit.
26:56Um, the phrase taking the cake is actually much, much older, even than those cakewalks in the 19th century.
27:02Um, as early as 240 BC, the Greeks were talking about taking the cake as taking off victory from, uh, a military campaign, for example.
27:12You'll find it in Aristophanes and quite a few, uh, Greek writers, so it goes back a very, very long way.
27:16But, yeah, taking the biscuit, taking the cake, possibly all the way back to those cakewalks.
27:21Taking the biscuit we tend to use today for something that's not very good.
27:24That takes the biscuit. It's usually an element of surprise.
27:27But once it was to do something, as I say, which was the most stylish and graceful thing imaginable.
27:32Well done, Susie.
27:39I love it.
27:40Susie's origins of words.
27:4271 plays 42.

29:05Howlier or Howler, but not mixed with the two, sorry.
29:08All right.
29:08But what can we have?

30:41Yep, very good.
30:43Susie has a few up her sleeve.
30:45Please.
30:46Well, there's obviate, so to get rid of that obviate is the need for something.
30:51That will give you a seven.
30:52But there is an eight there, Nick, which is notative.
30:55Notative, relating to or in respect of notations.
30:58So, take notes.
30:59That is notative.
31:01Well done.

32:14Times 75.
32:14Times 75 is 450.
