00:00So, Paul, we're on a steam train.
00:04What does that mean?
00:06I think it means it's Christmas.
00:08It's the Christmas show, yeah.
00:10Yeah.
00:11But it's not very Christmassy out there, Bob.
00:12Yeah, well, it isn't, but it's the Christmas show.
00:15Right.
00:18Do you know where we're heading?
00:20Um...
00:21I'll tell you where we're heading.
00:22We're heading to the centre of Christmas this year.
00:25Oh, right, and who decides where it's centred?
00:28Me, of course.
00:30Silly of you.
00:31Of course, it's you, isn't it?
00:32Do you know where it might be?
00:34Give us a clue.
00:35Ted's got a little hint.
00:36Oh, right, OK.
00:40It's a Cornish pasty.
00:41We're going to Cornwall.
00:43Wow, nice.
00:47We're going to actually, on our way to Cornwall,
00:49we'll fish on a beautiful river called the River Lid in Devon.
00:53Then we'll be fishing in Cornwall.
00:54Really?
00:54Yeah.
00:55We've got the award ceremony, special Christmas dinner,
00:58some beautiful accommodation.
01:01Right.
01:01For our Cornish Christmas adventure.
01:04Oh, lovely.
01:06This carriage is called a Pullman carriage, fancy.
01:09It was the personal carriage of Winston Churchill.
01:12And it was in this carriage
01:13that he had a meeting with General Eisenhower
01:16to discuss the D-Day landings.
01:18We might be in their seats.
01:19We might be in their seats.
01:21Harvey Churchill, because facing forward.
01:22I've got to, am I, you silly egg?
01:24Did you call me a silly egg?
01:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:29Come, Ted.
01:57Oh, boy.
01:58I said, what a cunt of devil.
02:00You told me we was going to Cornwall.
02:02We're on our way to Cornwall, Ted.
02:04Drag me down some muggy old river.
02:06What's the matter with you long river?
02:08Any other one? I forgot his name, to be honest.
02:13So this is it, Paul.
02:14Yeah. The River Laird.
02:15Yeah, beautiful, isn't it, Bob?
02:17I'll start down there. You get in there, yeah?
02:20Righty-o. What are we fishing for, though?
02:22Well, trout and sea trout as well.
02:26Look, we've got one of those views, Paul, through there.
02:28Oh, we have. It's a portal, isn't it?
02:30It's a portal to the Magic Kingdom.
02:32Who knows what? Yeah.
02:34Right. Let's do it.
02:36Do you have roast potatoes and mashed potatoes with your Christmas dinner, Paul?
02:38I would, if I was offered it.
02:40You know, in Cornwall...
02:42Yeah.
02:43...they like to have roast potatoes and mashed potatoes with your Christmas dinner, Paul?
02:48Do you have roast potatoes and mashed potatoes with your Christmas dinner, Paul?
03:05I would, if I was offered it.
03:07You know, in Cornwall...
03:08Yeah.
03:09...they like to have a bit of fish.
03:11Really? What are they? French?
03:13Turbot or halibut, that sort of thing.
03:15Oh, yeah, nice.
03:25Ah!
03:26Are you caught again?
03:28Oh, thank God.
03:29You get it?
03:30Yeah.
03:31Would you describe me as fat?
03:36No.
03:37I'm overweight, but you say there's a fat bloke over there.
03:42Well, you're not...
03:43Not really, Bob.
03:44You've got a sort of big, round head, haven't you?
03:47But you're not fat, no.
03:49Oh!
03:50Whoop!
03:51He's in!
03:52Oh!
03:53Oh!
03:54Oh!
03:55Oh!
03:56Oh, yay, yay, yay!
03:59Oh!
04:00Oh, Bob.
04:01You all right, mate?
04:02I'm absolutely fine, Bob.
04:03Are you?
04:04I'm wet.
04:05It was a bit cold as well, wasn't it?
04:06Fat and wet.
04:08Lucky you had that layer of blubber there for buoyancy.
04:12Bloody hell, Bob.
04:13You all right?
04:14Yeah, no, I'm fine.
04:16Go on, go and sort yourself out.
04:23Did you hurt yourself going in?
04:24I took a bit of a bang on the...
04:26On the rump.
04:28On the rump.
04:29On the rump.
04:30On the rump.
04:31I've got one rump and one butter.
04:32Have you?
04:33Unusual, isn't it?
04:34It is very unusual.
04:35Oh, man.
04:40I'll tell you what, with Christmas this year, Bob,
04:42here's a little thing for you.
04:43Oh, yeah, go on.
04:44I don't think my Christmases will ever be the same.
04:47Yeah.
04:49Last Christmas, on Christmas Day, Grandad,
04:53my father-in-law was in hospital.
04:55Yeah.
04:56And so on Christmas Day, me and my son took him his present.
04:59It was a nice little steam train calendar.
05:01Oh, yeah.
05:02But when we got there, he was fast asleep.
05:04Ah, right.
05:05And couldn't be roused, so we just said,
05:07Happy Christmas to him.
05:08And took the present back.
05:09No, we gave him the present for when he woke up and that.
05:12Yeah.
05:13When we got home, there was a phone call from the ward,
05:18and he died by the time we got home.
05:24We sort of thought to ourselves, me and Tom, my son,
05:26that maybe, just maybe, he heard us say Happy Christmas.
05:30Yeah.
05:31And then say goodbye.
05:32Yeah.
05:33And he thought, all right, I'll turn off now then.
05:35That was nice.
05:36Well, it's possible, isn't it?
05:37It's possible.
05:38You know, maybe.
05:39On Christmas Day.
05:40On Christmas Day.
05:45He liked steam engines and he liked beer.
05:48There's plenty of them about, isn't there?
05:49That's a man, isn't it?
05:50Yeah.
05:51Rod Stewart, he likes steam engines and beer, doesn't he?
05:53Yeah.
05:54Apparently.
05:55It's a type, isn't it?
05:56It is a type.
06:08That's too close in, I think.
06:25Oh!
06:27I'm in, Bob.
06:28You're in?
06:29You're in?
06:30Yep.
06:31What were you thinking, little trout?
06:32No.
06:33It's not so little, and I don't know what it is yet.
06:36Well done, man.
06:37First Christmas catch.
06:38I think it's a grayling.
06:42Yes!
06:43It's a good grayling.
06:44I think it's a grayling, yeah.
06:45It is a grayling.
06:46It's a nice one, isn't it?
06:47Oh, Bob, look at him.
06:49Go on.
06:50Get him.
06:51Yes!
06:52Oh, Paul, it's a whopper.
06:54That is the biggest one we've ever caught.
06:56It is, isn't it?
06:57Look at that.
06:58See this fin?
06:59That's so beautiful, isn't it?
07:01Right.
07:02Let's get him back.
07:03Beautiful creature.
07:05Beautiful creature.
07:06There you go.
07:07And away.
07:08Well done, Paul.
07:09God, it's cold, that water, isn't it?
07:10Lovely.
07:11Are we having a cup of tea, darling?
07:12Yes, I'd love a cup of tea.
07:13I've got some special treats.
07:14Come on, then.
07:15Christmas treats for you.
07:16Oh, nice.
07:17So this is my Christmas spread.
07:18Wow, look at that.
07:19Yule log.
07:20Gingerbread man.
07:21That one's me.
07:22That one's you.
07:23Okay.
07:24Obviously.
07:25Yeah.
07:26Look what I've got here, Paul.
07:27Ooh.
07:28Mince pies heating by the camping stove.
07:29Come on, Teddy.
07:30It's nothing to do with you, Ted.
07:31Yeah, but it is.
07:32Yeah, but it is.
07:33No, it's nothing to do with you.
07:34Yeah, but it is.
07:35Yeah, but it is.
07:36No, it's nothing to do with you.
07:37Yeah, but it is.
07:38It's nothing to do with you, Ted.
07:39It's nothing to do with you, Ted.
07:40Yeah, but it is.
07:41Yeah, but it is.
07:42No, it's nothing to do with you.
07:43Yeah, but it is.
07:44Yeah, but it is.
07:45Nicely judged.
07:46Mr. Mince pie, as they call you.
07:47It's really heated for a while, isn't it?
07:48There you go, Teddy.
07:49I have got some cream.
07:50Stop.
07:51Whoa.
07:52Ted, do you want a bit of squirty cream?
07:53I wonder if he squirted it into his mouth, he'd just keep going.
07:55And he'd grow up.
07:56And then...
07:57Exactly.
07:58Exactly.
07:59I'll have a go, yeah.
08:00It's really heated for a while, isn't it?
08:04There you go, Teddy. I have got some cream.
08:08Ted, do you want a bit of squirty cream?
08:10I wonder if he squirted it into his mouth, if he'd just keep going.
08:13And he'd grow up...
08:14And then...
08:17Ted, exactly!
08:27I'll have a go, yeah. You've got a fish with a nymph, right?
08:29There's one grey, Lynn.
08:30There's more.
08:31There's more.
08:32Just mind those berries, right?
08:35Whoa, that's beautiful, you lucky sod.
08:38Come on, that's it. Keep that line off the water.
08:40Track it down.
08:43Give that little line a mend.
08:45That's it, like that. That's good.
08:49Another calf.
08:50Oh, boom, boom!
08:52Oh, nice!
08:54That's good fish, Bob.
08:55It's a good fish!
08:56I know it's a good fish. I can see it is.
08:57I think you might have a seater out there or a big grain.
09:01It's a good fish!
09:02Go on, then. Try and get it on the reel.
09:04But mainly keep contact.
09:05Okay.
09:06So now don't wind.
09:07That's a good fish, Bob.
09:08I'm on the reel!
09:09Oh!
09:14Right, you can wind a little bit. Go on.
09:16Have you got the net?
09:17Yeah.
09:18I haven't even seen it yet, Bob, have you?
09:23No.
09:24It's too big to see!
09:27It's a massive trout!
09:29All right!
09:31Oh, please, don't go!
09:33No, come on, come on.
09:34We've got to get this fish, come on.
09:36Come on.
09:38Yes!
09:39Boom!
09:41Oh!
09:42Look at the size of him!
09:43The line!
09:44Wow!
09:45That's a lovely sea trout, Bob.
09:47Look at it, you can!
09:49I think we're talking records here, Paul.
09:52I'm going to get onto the mare.
09:54Oh, we'll get him back.
09:55Yeah.
09:56What a magnificent fish!
09:57Wow!
09:58Well done, Bob!
10:00Hold him till he's ready.
10:02I think he'll be gone soon, but...
10:04And away!
10:07Not going to get better than that, Paul.
10:08No, it ain't, Bob.
10:09Let's go to the accommodation.
10:10Okay.
10:11Our first Christmas accommodation.
10:12Fair play.
10:13Thank you for that, sir.
10:14Well done, mate.
10:15I don't fucking move, really, but...
10:16Ooh, there's a big lump here.
10:17And I don't mean me.
10:20Right.
10:24Oh, that sea trout, Paul.
10:26Yeah.
10:27That's going to haunt you for years.
10:28He tugged you, didn't he, eh?
10:30Lime.
10:31You're never going to let it lie, are you?
10:33Never.
10:34No.
10:42I thought for Christmas, I'd bring you somewhere...
10:45Yeah.
10:46...so special, it would rip your heart out of your body.
10:50Cleanse it and return it fully functioning.
10:52Let's hope so.
10:53It needs a bit of an upgrade, Bob, really.
10:55Because this place is gorgeous.
10:57Whoa!
10:58Is that the sea?
10:59And...
11:00Wow.
11:01...to your right here...
11:02Ooh!
11:03...camel quarry house.
11:04Oh!
11:05Look at that!
11:06Well, thank you, Bob.
11:08Our best yet.
11:09It's a beauty!
11:10Could be.
11:11Cornish beauty.
11:12Come on.
11:15Whoa!
11:18Tally tick.
11:20Come on, see the bedrooms.
11:22Go on in.
11:23Up you go, you sprightly old fella.
11:26I'm going to take a chance on a left.
11:30Oh, this one is very me, Paul.
11:32I've chosen.
11:33But I'll join you on your quest.
11:34Come on.
11:36Yes.
11:38Oh, I've made a terrible mistake, Paul.
11:40You are, Bob.
11:41Feel free to enjoy the view for about eight seconds.
11:45Eight seconds is not enough.
11:50Come on, Bob, you've seen enough.
11:51You've got the best room.
11:52Come on, come on, out.
11:53Upstairs.
11:54Okay.
11:55Ooh.
11:56Whoa!
11:57Whoa!
11:59Boom!
12:01Yeah, boom, bang-a-bang, boom.
12:03Isn't that something?
12:04Wow.
12:05I feel like we've arrived.
12:07Because that is Cornwall.
12:10That's the camel estuary.
12:11Yeah.
12:12And it's most beautiful.
12:13Rit large, isn't it?
12:15Got a special guest coming soon.
12:17Any minute now, in fact.
12:19So behave yourself.
12:20Can you get rid of your windy pops now?
12:22Do you like the look of this, Paul?
12:37Char-coot-tree is what they call it.
12:41Char-coot-tree.
12:42Char-coot-tree.
12:43That's Ted's dog biscuits and a bit of cheese.
12:45Oh, right.
12:46Did he do that?
12:47Absolutely, yeah.
12:48The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
12:54He maketh me to lie down in...
12:58Ching, ching, ching, ching, ching, ching.
13:00Who can it be?
13:01Ching, ching, ching.
13:03It's Christmas.
13:05Oh, thank you for coming.
13:07Bloody holder.
13:08Hello.
13:10Hello, love.
13:11Hi there.
13:12How are you?
13:13Yeah, I'm all right, darling.
13:14Can you come on that side, actually, at the same time?
13:15Why don't you want the...
13:16I just want to be in a sort of sandwich.
13:17Oh, that's lovely.
13:19A couple of chunks, you are.
13:21Hunky chunks.
13:22What are you brought with?
13:23You want to see what this is?
13:24Go on in.
13:25My husband has made you this.
13:26It's a cake.
13:27Yes.
13:28It's a fruit, it's sultana and cherries.
13:30Lovely.
13:31With icing on the top.
13:32Because, well, he knows about you two.
13:35Oh, that's nice.
13:36I mean, he likes you, but I like you more.
13:38Right.
13:39He knows that both of you are on my I'm allowed to list.
13:42No.
13:43You are kidding.
13:44Yeah.
13:45Two weeks!
13:46Come on!
13:47But it is only if he's conked.
13:49Oh, right, OK.
13:50And if you were both single, which you're not.
13:52Yeah.
13:53Yeah, so it's not going to happen, obviously.
13:54No, it's not, is it?
13:55No.
13:56But, you know.
13:57So we've got a cake in lieu, have we?
13:58Yeah, you have.
13:59OK.
14:00Fair play.
14:01I'll bring this over.
14:02Right, come on.
14:03So this is Cornwall, this is your parish, isn't it?
14:09Yeah.
14:10Well, it's a tricky one for me, this, because half of my family are from Devon.
14:15Boo!
14:16Oh.
14:17And half are from Cornwall.
14:18Boo!
14:19Oh, no, sorry.
14:20Hooray!
14:21Hooray!
14:22So I'm sort of dual heritage.
14:23It's a bit War of the Roses, kind of.
14:26You're quite synonymous with Christmas.
14:28Well, I suppose so.
14:29I suppose so.
14:30The free Christmas dinners.
14:31Yeah?
14:32Yeah.
14:33Did you actually really eat free Christmas dinners?
14:35You know how they make telly.
14:36I ate one Brussels sprout.
14:38You're joking, mate.
14:39In that whole thing.
14:40Oh, you've broken his heart.
14:42Well, I will.
14:44Don, will you ever do another Dibley, do you think?
14:47No?
14:48There's only one person left, but there's only James left out of the whole cast.
14:53Imagine that.
14:54That's what happens when you start a sitcom with older people.
14:57Yeah.
14:58Bob gone fishing on his own.
14:59Yeah.
15:00Laughing at my demise.
15:01Not necessarily on your own, Bob.
15:03I'm here.
15:05I'm not great at Christmas, you know.
15:07It's not that I don't like it.
15:08I think, as I've got older and I've lost people in my family,
15:12I find Christmas, when you're supposed to be jolly, too much.
15:16Yeah.
15:17So I get a bit melancholy just before Christmas,
15:19but then I...
15:20Every single Christmas, there is a proper Christmas miracle,
15:23and it might just be that I, you know,
15:26get myself out of a grump because it's not fair on everybody else,
15:29but I actually do cheer up by Christmas Day.
15:31By Christmas Day.
15:32Oh, that's good.
15:33But the week before, I have a bit of a slump.
15:35I think the weird thing for me is that Christmas takes you back to childhood
15:38and so I miss my mum and dad at Christmas.
15:41Yeah.
15:46Can I offer you anything from the shampoo tray?
15:47Yeah, you can. I'll have a bit of salami.
15:49Do you know what? I'll move it over, darling, then you're not...
15:52Ted?
15:53Ted?
15:54Here, look.
15:55Look what I've got.
15:57Try this, Ted, look.
15:59There we go.
16:01Oh, the enderbite's working hard on that.
16:03HE LAUGHS
16:11Cornwall, the most beautiful county, darling.
16:13Oh, yes.
16:14No question.
16:15And can I just say...
16:16Yeah.
16:17..jam first, always, no exceptions.
16:20Just leave it at that.
16:21Well, I do agree.
16:22I don't think you can consider cream or butter.
16:24Correct, Bob.
16:26I'm not getting drawn in on this.
16:28Cream is the crown.
16:30Do you fancy staying for a game of Mousetrap, John?
16:33Um, no.
16:34Come on, Dawn, it's going to be great.
16:36No.
16:37Do you fancy coming in a hot tub with us?
16:39Um...
16:40I'd rather put my eyes out, if that's all right with you.
16:43Fair enough.
16:45I sense where you're coming from.
16:47I mean that nicely.
16:48I said don't ask, Bob, didn't I?
16:51And you were right.
16:52You were right.
16:53Ha!
17:10Did you have a nice sleep?
17:11Not bad, yeah.
17:12We've got to get going.
17:13I know, we never got fish.
17:14Oh, I forgot, Paul.
17:15What I should say is, I didn't forget,
17:17but I've got the last three windows of my advent calendar to open.
17:21Do you want to do one?
17:22You do today, I'll do tomorrow.
17:24That's nice, isn't it, Bob?
17:25I like that.
17:26It's a good one, isn't it?
17:27Yeah.
17:28Good things, isn't it?
17:29Great things.
17:30Mainly chocolates.

17:33Oh, trinkets.
17:34Trinkets.
17:35Okay.
17:36What do you get?
17:37A little bit of breadstick.
17:39Oh, that's a bit unlucky, isn't it?
17:42This is a trick, isn't it?
17:44No, it's not.
17:45You've enjoyed it, haven't you, little breadstick boy?
17:47I do.
17:48I do like breadstick, yeah.
17:49We've got to get going.

17:53Yeah, we're fishing upstream.
17:54Mm.
17:55Mm.
17:56I'll be able to go all day after this breadstick, won't I?
17:59The breadstick, yeah.

19:03They're putting up rain.
19:05They're singing songs of joy and peace.
19:08I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
19:18I wish I had a river so long.
19:19Oh, I'm gonna go miss them.
19:20Ah, man.
19:21Teach my feet to.
19:22Pricing.
19:23They're running, they're not that big.

19:30I'm gonna commit this crazy scene.
19:31I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
19:34I wish I had a river so long .
19:37I've got, I missed him.
19:45Ah man.
19:46to
19:52Yes
19:55Hey, well done Bob little brownie
19:59very nice
20:02And away
20:05It was incredible bit of fishing Paul. Yeah, I'm sure it was Bob if you did it. I'm sure it was superlative
20:13Good stuff
20:16I
20:27Would say Paul that was maybe my most enjoyable bit of fishing I've ever done. It was fantastic. Yeah, brilliant
20:34I don't know just something about
20:36The flow of the river and the light the light is incredible here, isn't it?
20:41Yeah
20:43You look so sexy in those glasses Paul
20:47Honestly, you look nothing like Ant Man or some sort of insect
20:51I do look like a wasp or something don't I?
20:53Yeah, you're a very waspy character actually
20:55Oh blimey Ted, what are we going to do with him?
20:59Ted isn't in great nature
21:01No, alright Bob, he's in here shortly
21:03Mind you he's quite deaf now
21:05Yeah
21:07But he doesn't look very well does he?
21:09But he does seem happy
21:11He does actually doesn't he? He does seem happy
21:13Well I'd say content
21:15Content
21:17When my son went to see Grandad in hospital
21:21Afterwards he said to me he was glad he had because he said I've got to get used to loss you know
21:29Oh wow
21:31When he was a really young boy I
21:33Suddenly one day I walked up the stairs and there was a window there
21:37And he put he put stuck little letters up saying Tina see you see you in the future
21:43And it was our little cat Tina had died
21:45Oh wow
21:46And I know he was really affected by it
21:48Right
21:49And it's tough when you it's tough when a pet dies it's really tough
21:53Mmm
21:54Because like as your friendships come and go you know or you've got some you've failed to maintain them or you do
21:59Yeah
22:00You know but your friendship with your pet is so pure do you know what I mean?
22:03Oh no that's a very valid point it's the devotion
22:06Yeah
22:07That they show you don't get from any other living creature really do you?
22:11Heartbreaking
22:12Mmm
22:13It is brilliant to have a friend like you you know Paul
22:21Don't have a go at me for saying it it's amazing
22:24Ant-man, wasp face, wizened little walnut
22:28Yeah but
22:29Yeah?
22:30That's because you like me
22:32That you allow me to do it
22:33I can take it Bob really I really can take it don't worry mate
22:36Imagine a world without friendship because a lot of people live in that world Paul
22:40Well yeah that's true Bobby
22:42I'm just hanging on to it with you
22:44You are fingernails innit but
22:45Well thanks for that Bob and I feel the same you know that
22:48Don't you?
22:49You do know that don't you Bob?
22:50I don't we only come out to see each other I know it really
22:53Yeah
23:06Hey Teddy
23:12Dr Anand's coming today
23:13Oh right he's here is he?
23:14Yeah
23:15Oh okay
23:18Don't you tell Anand I've been having salami
23:20Oh he won't like that will he?
23:22Well I've just had a chocolate biscuit that's probably not much good either
23:25You're going to mention it aren't you?
23:27No I'm not we'll see let's see how it all plays out Bob
23:30I know what you're like so
23:31You think the first thing I'm going to say to Anand is Paul's just had a chocolate biscuit
23:34Paul's just had a chocolate biscuit
23:35No it's not
23:36The first thing I'll say is you know what Paul's done
23:42He's only gone and had a chocolate biscuit haven't he?
23:45Anandos and I should say oh that's fine
23:47Anandos?
23:48Anandos?
23:49Hahahaha
23:54Chicken and prescrip-
23:55I really haven't had Anandos!
23:56Anand
23:57Chickens and prescriptions
24:04Anand!
24:05There he is
24:06I'm following Ted in
24:07Look Ted's leading the way
24:08Oh easy
24:09I know easy
24:10I've got trainers off
24:11Oh done fishing doctor
24:12How lovely to see you
24:13Lovely to be seen
24:14I don't want to trip over Ted
24:15I don't want to trip over Ted
24:16You look like one of the prettiest gnomes I've ever seen, don't you think?
24:23A wood nymph.
24:25I'll take that in whatever spirit you're meant to.
24:29So, Alanda, the first thing I wanted to ask genuinely is,
24:33is just earlier today, Paul had two chocolate biscuits and some cake.
24:41Right, first of all, it was one chocolate biscuit.
24:44Was it?
24:45I just had a little cherry out of the cake.
24:47That's all I nibbled, right?
24:48He had cake and salami.
24:51I'm not here to police you.
24:53Well, we wish you would.
24:55People don't like being nagged.
24:57So, what I'm here to do is I'm here to steer you, hopefully, in a direction.
25:01And if you want to take my advice, take my advice.
25:02If you don't want it, that's absolutely fine.
25:04But equally, you know, we've all got to make our choices and deal with the consequences.
25:08It is a bit of compromise, isn't it?
25:09I was always told if 80% of your diet is good,
25:12you're allowed 20% to do, you know, indulge yourself with salami.
25:15See, I tell myself 70-30, so I give myself a little bit more leeway.
25:18Well, there we are. I'm coming over to your way.
25:20Just some general things that have interested me recently, Alanda,
25:24was a lot of people around me are taking vitamin supplements.
25:28Yes. All sorts of supplements.
25:30Somehow, I don't believe that that pill or liquid is the same as a leaf of spinach.
25:35I don't think it is. I don't think it is, Bob.
25:37So, you're absolutely right. Supplements are brilliant if you've got a deficient diet.
25:41The supplements you need need to be tailored to your age range,
25:44and they need to be tailored to whatever disease is going on.
25:47Or your diet, for example. If you're vegetarian or vegan,
25:50you might lack protein, you might lack calcium if you don't eat dairy.
25:54So, it's kind of like, well, what do we need?
25:56And if you're a 70-kilo, 65-year-old,
25:58you need to be taking 70 to 80 grams of protein per day.
26:02You should be getting some of that if you eat meat,
26:04from meat, a bit of oily fish, lentils, pulses, eggs, cheese.
26:09You know, all those sources are good sources of protein.
26:11And why particularly for older people?
26:13So, as you get older, your ability to hold on to muscle gets less.
26:17So, you get something, what's called sarcopenia,
26:19where literally your muscles start to dissolve away as you get older.
26:22And having poorer muscle strength, which we're going to test in a bit,
26:25is linked to living longer.
26:27So, actually, if your muscle strength is poorer, you actually become frail.
26:31And frailty is basically a condition where any small change to your health
26:34could knock you over into losing independent living.
26:37And that could be like, you know, you can't live in your own home anymore.
26:39You can't do stairs. So, I've got a little testing thing here.
26:42Right.
26:43We're just going to use your grip strength.
26:44And they did a study of 150,000 people.
26:47Yeah.
26:48And they found that your grip strength is a better marker
26:50of your long-term health than your blood pressure.
26:52Really?
26:53So, that's why I brought it today just to see,
26:55because it's such an easy thing to do.
26:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:57You can get these online so easily.
26:58I'm excited.
26:59Do you want to have a go?
27:00Yeah.
27:01Okay.
27:02The idea is that you hold it like that at right angles.
27:04Right.
27:05Okay.
27:06You're squeezing as hard as you can when I say now.
27:08Okay.
27:09So, ready?
27:10And on three.
27:11One, two, three, go.
27:13Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
27:16Good man.
27:1728.2.
27:18Yeah.
27:19That's the bad one.
27:20Obviously, this is not necessarily the perfect test if you've got hand arthritis.
27:23No.
27:24Yeah, yeah.
27:25But 28.2, what that means is that you have a level of sort of hand strength and fitness
27:29that is above the minimum level, which is really important.
27:32The minimum level for men is kind of about 25 kilograms and it's 18 for women.
27:37Right.
27:38If yours is below that, you're actually really at high risk of having low muscle mass.
27:42You're more likely to fall over, more likely to break your hip, more likely to lose your mobility
27:46and more likely to end up in a home.
27:48So, it's really important.
27:49You're going to smash me to pieces on this.
27:51Let's try your left arm.
27:52Right.
27:53So, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze,
27:56done.
27:5743.
27:5843!
27:59Jeez, I'll never hear the end of it.
28:01I knew it.
28:02Can I just say, that is the sign of a healthy level of muscle at your age.
28:06What?
28:07That's fantastic.
28:08Oh, please.
28:0943.9.
28:10That's amazing.
28:1115 seconds ago, I thought I'm heading to a care home.
28:14No, mate, no.
28:15No, I'm striding past it saying, hello, Paul.
28:18Hey, Lan, would you have a bit of mulled wine?
28:22I'd love a bit of mulled wine, thank you.
28:25I made this myself on my farm.
28:27No, you didn't.
28:28Correct.
28:29Brilliant.
28:30Well, thank you so much for coming.
28:31Yeah.
28:32Merry Christmas.
28:33For our bag side consultations.
28:34They're a joy.
28:35Mm-hmm.
28:36Look how pleased you are.
28:37Yeah.
28:38There's a kind of musty smell around.
28:42I can only imagine it's you, Bob.
28:43Be slightly more...
28:44What do you mean?
28:45Is it biscuity?
28:46Is it biscuit?
28:47Is it biscuit?
28:48Oxo-cubin old man.
28:49Yeah.
28:50Well, I had an oxo-cubin with biscuits, and I'm an old man.
28:52And you're an old man.
28:53Well, there we are.
28:54Got it spot on, then.
28:55Let's have a smell of you.
28:56What do you reckon?
28:57Don't know.
28:58Have you been eating eggs?
28:59Oh, yeah.
29:00It's a bit of a smell of you.
29:01There's a kind of musty smell around.
29:02I can only imagine it's you, Bob.
29:03Be slightly more...
29:04What do you mean?
29:05Is it biscuity?
29:06Is it biscuit?
29:07Oxo-cubin old man.
29:09Yeah.
29:10Well, I had an oxo-cubin with biscuits, and I'm an old man.
29:12And you're an old man.
29:13Well, there we are.
29:14Got it spot on, then.
29:18Let's have a smell of you.
29:19Go on, then.
29:21What do you reckon?
29:22Don't know.
29:23Is it eggs?
29:24Oh, no.
29:25That's probably trapped wind in me waders, isn't it?
29:28Oh, great.
29:29Yeah.
29:31I'm going to have to go off and get the awards ceremony ready.
29:35Oh, OK.
29:36Be smart, though, Paul.
29:38Yeah?
29:39What, for the awards?
29:40Yeah, and be respectful of the occasion.
29:41I've arranged transport for you.
29:43Don't you worry.
29:44Well, will the occasion respect me?
29:46Of course it will.
29:48Ish.
29:49Yeah.
29:50See you at the awards, Paul.
29:52I cannot wait.
29:54We should have an award for wrist strength.
29:56The hopes we had were much too high.
30:02Way out of reach, but we have to try.
30:08The game will never be over.
30:12Because we're keeping the dream alive.
30:21How are you?
30:22How are you?
30:23Lovely to see you.
30:24You're OK?
30:25Lovely to see you.
30:26I'm fine.
30:27Welcome.
30:28I'm looking for Rick Steyer's place.
30:29Yeah.
30:30Just down there.
30:32But, listen, I am absolutely honoured that you've chosen us for these prestigious awards.
30:37Biggious awards.
30:38And aren't they?
30:39Yeah, they are.
30:40So come on in.
30:42A Cornish Christmas dinner.
30:43That's what we're looking for.
30:44Yeah.
30:45Well, this is a Cornish Christmas dinner.
30:46Right.
30:47With a difference.
30:48Because we're going to replace what people would ordinarily probably have.
30:49Yeah.
30:50Turkey, hams, beef.
30:51Yep.
30:52We're going to do a whole baked turbot, but with all the trimmings.
30:53Yeah.
30:54And a lovely sort of turbot chicken gravy.
30:55Wow.
30:56Which you're going to help me to do.
30:57Yes, please.
30:58Yes, please.
30:59I mean, I've got five BAFTAs.
31:00Five.
31:01But nothing beats a gone fishing lifetime achievement.
31:04Just like to thank my family.
31:05But most of all, we're going to do a whole baked turbot.
31:08And we're going to do a whole baked turbot, but with all the trimmings.
31:10Yeah.
31:11And a lovely sort of turbot chicken gravy.
31:12Wow.
31:13Which you're going to help me to do.
31:14Yes, please.
31:15I mean, I've got five BAFTAs.
31:16Five.
31:17But nothing beats a gone fishing lifetime achievement.
31:21I'd just like to thank my family.
31:26First of all, Ted, for being such a stalwart companion.
31:30Grab that, will ya?
31:32With cooking, it always starts at the beginning,
31:34building up those layers of flavour.
31:36Yeah.
31:37So in here, we've got some rosemary and thyme, all right?
31:39Right.
31:40So what we do is, we just take some of that rosemary and thyme.
31:42Yep.
31:43Then rub it between our hands, because all herbs,
31:45they contain essential oils.
31:47So if you just have a smell of that now, all right?
31:49Lovely.
31:50Just get that into our garlic, our shallots.
31:51Beginning to smell like Christmas.
31:53How much does a kitchen like this cost?
31:56Half a million pounds.
31:57Ooh!
31:58Yeah.
31:59Oops.
32:00Sell some food then.
32:02Yeah.
32:03Yeah.
32:04Come on, Ted.
32:07Come on.
32:08I can hardly contain myself.
32:10I don't know about you.
32:11I've come in my own time, son.
32:13Afternoon, sir.
32:14Can I come aboard?
32:15Yeah.
32:16Whoa, look at that fella.
32:17Look at that.
32:18It's a beauty.
32:19Yes, it is.
32:20So that's what a turbot looks like.
32:21Yeah, that's a turbot.
32:22We regard this as king of the sea.
32:23Right.
32:24It's just superior in flavour.
32:25With it being Christmas, I've got a lovely Cornish sparkling wine in
32:26with the onions.
32:27All right.
32:28Lay the turbot on top and bring it on.
32:29Yep.
32:30Yep.
32:31Yep.
32:32Right.
32:33Let's do this.
32:34That lovely, Ted.
32:35Look, there's a pad stow over there.
32:36That's where we're going.
32:37Apparently we're going.
32:38Yeah.
32:39Yeah.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Yeah.
32:42Yeah.
32:43Yeah.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Yeah.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Yeah.
32:48Yeah.
32:49Yeah.
32:50Yeah.
32:51Yeah.
32:52Yeah.
32:53Yeah.
32:54Yeah.
32:55Yeah.
32:56Yeah.
32:57Yeah.
32:58Yeah.
32:59That's where the big ceremony is.
33:00Ahh.
33:01Hey!
33:02Yeah.
33:03The sword.
33:04The good boy.
33:05You know I'm up for the next James Bond, don't you?
33:07Oh, do me a favour.
33:12Cut a dash, don't I mate, eh?
33:23He said you're deaf as opposed, didn't you?
33:25Hold on.
33:26Hold on.
33:31Right, let's get these cabbages on.
33:33So we're just going to brush them with a little bit of butter.
33:35And then I want you to put them that side down on the barbecue.
33:39Perfect.
33:40And we've just lightly steamed these cabbages...
33:43Right. ..so that they're nice and cooked,
33:44and we just get flavour from the barbecue.
33:47That's beautiful. Yes, now we're cooking.
33:52Come, Ted. Come on.
33:54Whoa, there he is.
33:55This is the place, little old mum.
33:57I'll tell you what, you know, dogs aren't normally allowed in here.
34:00Come on.
34:01I'm allowed anywhere I want, mate.
34:02I'll go anywhere I like.
34:04South London, East London, South of France,
34:06so I shall...
34:20So, Lady Bird.
34:22Good evening, sir. Hello.
34:25What do you want?
34:26Well, could I look at the menu or see the wine list?
34:29Would you like to see the wine list?
34:30Yeah, I would, thank you.
34:31There you go.
34:33Actually, we don't serve wine to the over-80s.
34:37It can put them into shock.
34:39Are you a half-wit or something?
34:43Some people say so.
34:44Yeah, I'm not surprised.
34:46Will you be requiring the entertainment tonight, sir?
34:50Oh, well, yeah.
34:51I see you've got a hound with you, no hounds.
34:53Yeah, no, he's got a special dispensation.
34:56He's not any old hound.
34:57Who is he, then?
34:58He's, er, he's Ted.
34:59Ted the dog?
35:00Yeah.
35:01He's actually a sort of guest of Bob Mortimer's.
35:07Who did you say?
35:09You're so easy, aren't you?
35:11Bob Mortimer!
35:11It's you, isn't it?
35:12It's you!
35:14Ah!
35:15You can see a wine list.
35:16Yeah, thank you, sir.
35:18There you go.
35:18Thank you very much.
35:19I've been preparing, I'm going to call it a Cornish Christmas dinner.
35:23Not what you might expect.
35:25Really?
35:26Have you been helping in the kitchen?
35:27I've been helping, yeah.
35:28Have you?
35:28Because I heard the fire alarm go off.
35:30Yeah.
35:30What did you do?
35:31I was burning cabbage.
35:33Oh, yeah, really?
35:34Oh, that will do it, then.
35:39What do I need looking forward to this?
35:41It's on its way.
35:41It looks amazing.
35:45Cheers.
35:46Oh, it didn't clink.
35:48That's fancy glasses.
35:49Isn't it?
35:49Wow.
35:52God.
35:53Look at that.
35:54Oh, thank you so much.
35:55Roast turbot.
35:57With all the trimmings.
35:58Roast turbot.
35:59And there you have it.
36:01Enjoy.
36:02And thanks for your help, Bob.
36:04No worries.
36:05Thank you, Paul.
36:06I'm going in.
36:07Come on.
36:08Turbot is amazing.
36:11You really do spoil me, Bob.
36:13Well, work stews come along once a year.
36:16We might as well make the most of it, Paul.
36:19How many categories are there this year?
36:21Two.
36:22Try to be quick, yeah?
36:23There will be laughter and prizes galore.
36:33Who's going to miss and who's going to score?
36:36It's the Gone Fishin' Annual Awards.
36:42Who loves you, baby?
36:45First up, Paul, Employee of the Year.
36:51This is the trophy you won last year.
36:53So it has to be returned, I'm afraid.
36:56Oh, no.
36:57I don't really want to give it back, Bob.
36:59It's become such a part of my life, but...
37:01Here we go.
37:02Nominations are...
37:04Let's see.
37:05Woo, woo, woo!
37:06Yeah!
37:07Let's fish.
37:08Ah!
37:09Ah!
37:09Yeah, you got me.
37:10First cast, you got me, Bob.
37:11Well, why were you still there?
37:13Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob.
37:14Yes, I know.
37:15There you go.
37:15You're in, then, without knowing.
37:16That's angling, Paul.
37:18Do you like watching me fish?
37:20Yeah, it's...
37:20You can learn, can't you?
37:24Yes, he's in!
37:25Yes!
37:25Do not wind.
37:26Do not wind, Bob.
37:28I'm not winding.
37:29I'm just charging up the reel.
37:32There's my dancing.
37:33That's specialist stuff there.
37:34Wallop!
37:35Yes!
37:36Wow, he's fresh.
37:37Look at the colours in there.
37:38Whoa!
37:40Ted's arriving in style, isn't he?
37:42Yeah, well, he's at.
37:42No, it's going to be Ted, isn't it?
37:44Of course it's going to be Ted.
37:45I'm coming out of time, all right?
37:47You look so heroic.
37:48Oh, look at that guy.
37:49Oh, jeez!
37:52Oh, there's a fault.
37:55Oh, there's another.
37:56What's that salmon, is it?
37:58Not for you, Ted.
37:59Yeah, but it is.
38:01I'm pleased yourselves.
38:02Cool, haven't we?
38:03We had some laughs.
38:04We had some laughs.
38:07Oh, this is the moment.
38:09Yeah?
38:10Go on.
38:11HE LAUGHS
38:12And the winner is...
38:15Bob Mortimer.
38:18Oh!
38:19Yes, please!
38:21Wow!
38:22It's a revelation.
38:24Oh, come on, Paul.
38:25It's well-deserved.
38:26I'm so pleased for you, Bob.
38:28And there's a trophy as well.
38:29Oh, for God.
38:29It's actually a crown.
38:30Oh, that feels good.
38:37Hey, there we are.
38:37Did one of the jewels just fall off?
38:39Yeah, it did.
38:40Heavy is the head that wears a crown in your case, isn't it?
38:43Size of it.
38:44The way of the...
38:45Put your head on me.
38:46Paul!
38:47Well, there we are.
38:47There's one category down.
38:49Let's not prolong the agony.
38:50Let's crack on.
38:51I'll take this off out of respect for the award, OK?
38:53OK, thank you.
38:54Because the next award is...
38:57That's...
38:57This is a biggie.
38:58Lifetime achievement.
39:00If you've given it to yourself,
39:02I'm walking out of this restaurant.
39:03I'm never looking back.
39:04Don't walk out, Paul.
39:06I'm going to, Bob.
39:07If you've given it to yourself...
39:08Let's have a look.
39:09Oh, let's have a look at this.
39:09Let's have a look.
39:11Ted.
39:12Cute little Billy.
39:14Billy, I dropped that nine years ago, sir.
39:16LAUGHTER
39:17You coming fishing with us, Ted?
39:19Teddy.
39:20Mind the rod!
39:22Well, this is worse than me, isn't he?
39:24Can you shift over a bit, Ted?
39:25What's he actually achieved?
39:27Well, he's had a lifetime, hasn't he?
39:29Oh, yeah, I'm spying.
39:30Teddy, fetch!
39:31Go on!
39:32Nah!
39:34Is Ted a dog?
39:35He's a species all of his own, isn't he, Ted?
39:38You all right, Ted?
39:40It's like we've super-glued him there, isn't it?
39:43Look, you can move, Ted.
39:45Yeah, it's Ted, isn't it?
39:46You're not going to come sort of line-side and win, are you?
39:50Well, I don't think so.
39:51I haven't owned the envelope yet.
39:52Look at the state of him!
39:55And that's when he went insane.
39:58Remember, you have always got us two.
40:01That's right, Ted.
40:02Yeah.
40:03Well, let's just confirm it, Paul.
40:05The winner is Ted!
40:07Well-deserved, Ted.
40:09Well done, Ted.
40:10Absolutely.
40:10If ever there was a winner there was,
40:12then Ted's the winner there was.
40:13There was.
40:14Yeah.
40:14Teddy, you've got a crown.
40:15Wow.
40:18Let's present ourselves to the camera, Ted.
40:24Kings of the show.
40:27There is someone else on the show, isn't there, Ted?
40:29Yeah, I don't know.
40:30He's just sort of a shadow.
40:34Oh, don't go, Paul.
40:36You might win next year.
40:38He's off.
40:43We are the champions.
40:47We are the champions.
40:47We are the champions.
40:49Come on, Ted.
40:59Come on, Ted.
40:59That's one of Paul's.
41:00Leave it alone.
41:01Come on.
41:01Come on, Ted.
41:09MUSIC PLAYS
41:25Breakfast, Paul.
41:27I put a little bit of holly on yours, cheer you up.
41:29After last night.
41:31You're not bitter, are you, Paul?
41:32Forgotten all that.
41:34I'm an adult, Bob, so no, I'm not bitter.
41:36It just reflects badly on you, you know.
41:38We've got a long drive today.
41:40We're going west, west, west, west, west.
41:41Where are we going?
41:42Mousehole.
41:43But do you know what they call it, the Cornish people?
41:46It'll be muzzle or something like that, is it?
41:47Not far off, actually, mausel.
41:50Mausel.
41:50Mausel, but for you and me, it will forever be...
41:53Mousehole.
41:56Ah, you pet.
41:57Right, come on.
41:58If I had a deep voice
42:08I would sing a ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-booo.
42:14All day long I'd sing a ling-a-ling
42:17If I had a very deep voice.
42:20If I had a high voice
42:22I would yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel, yodel!
42:30We're going to pass by a place called St Michael's Mount.
42:33You know, one of them islands off the sea?
42:35Oh, yeah, yeah. Shall we stop and give Ted a walk?
42:38I mean, I'm seizing up here, aren't you?
42:41I wouldn't mind a leg stretch, Bob.
42:43Come on, Ted, you got it. Come on, let's go, Ted.
42:54Come on, Ted. Come on, Ted.
42:57Bah, humbug, well that's too strong, cause it is my favourite holiday.
43:06But all this year's been a busy blur, don't think I have the energy.
43:11Dread in my already mad rush just cause it's tis the season.
43:15The perfect gift for me would be completions and connections left from last year.
43:20Ski shopping come...
43:22There's your personal look at Mousel.
43:24Ooh, look.
43:25Quintessentially Cornish.
43:29Carl, it wasn't designed for the car, was it, Bob?
43:33Getting on everyone's nerves.
43:35We're trying to enjoy this peaceful town.
43:37Oh, look at those boats as well, aren't they lovely?
43:40I love a painted boat, don't you, Bob?
43:42Yeah, sweet.
43:42See that light blue? That's a nice one.
43:44You know, in...
43:45Oh, that's a nice one. Look, the black and yellow.
43:50Don't like that one.
43:51Taking me out on the boat, aren't you?
43:53I am.
43:54Last chance to catch a fish.
43:57Come on, Teddy.
43:59Wow. What a morning, eh, Bob?
44:01What a morning.
44:02Now, the guy we're going out with today on the boat, Neil,
44:06he's got a very special relationship with Mousel.
44:08He's a Mousel boy.
44:09Yeah.
44:09But his dad was on the boat that went out in 1991,
44:14Penley disaster, where all the lifeboat men were lost at sea.
44:18I mean, I have heard of that, yeah.
44:20And the boat they went to rescue as well went down.
44:23So, proper tragedy.
44:24He'll have a tale to tell then.
44:26He certainly will, mate.
44:27Neil!
44:34Hello, Neil.
44:35Morning, gentlemen.
44:36Thank you so much, Neil, for having us on board.
44:39Hi, Neil. Happy to meet you.
44:40Paul. I can't remember his name.
44:43What's our chances today, Neil?
44:46It's fishing, guys. You know that.
44:47Yeah. It's not called catch, it's fishing.
44:48But we've got a good chance of catching a mack or two,
44:50and maybe a paddock or two. We'll see what we can do.
44:53You've got an involvement with the Penley disaster, haven't you?
44:56Yeah, my father was lost on the Penley lifeboat,
44:58and I was turned away that night.
45:00I was a lifeboat man. I was only 17.
45:03But like everyone, every man, when I was 17, I knew everything.
45:06Yeah, yeah.
45:07You've got to remember, I've been playing rain in boats
45:08since I was four or five-year-old. That's all I've ever done.
45:10Trevely in the coxswain refused to take me.
45:13He refused to take two from one family, so I was turned away.
45:16Wow. And your dad was lost?
45:17My dad was lost, yeah.
45:18I mean, never forget them. I'm fiercely proud of what they did that night.
45:21Oh, yeah, of course.
45:22I mean, the weather conditions was the worst in living memory.
45:24I've never seen weather like it.
45:26How old was your dad, Neil?
45:27My dad was 42.
45:28Ah, dude.
45:29All of them, they're all family, friends, all mates.
45:32Yeah, of course. It's such a small community and tight.
45:34Obviously, it has to be, doesn't it?
45:36It completely changed Mousel forever.
45:38Mousel never recovered from that.
45:41Do you do anything to sort of celebrate the memory of those people?
45:44On the 19th, we have the famous Christmas lights,
45:46and they're dimmed, and we have our own memories,
45:48and you have your own, like, little, you know.
45:50Yeah.
45:50Let's fish today in memory of your dad.
45:52Yeah.
45:53See if we can get something for him.
45:54Over there, Bob, look.
45:59You see that cross?
46:00I think that's a memorial light to the Penley victims.
46:04Oh, yeah.
46:05Oh, yeah.
46:06That's a memorial light to the Penley victims.
46:07Oh, wait.
46:08over there Bob look you see that cross and I think that's a oh yeah that's a memorial

48:02know how sentient my mum was about or conscious of Christmas but it's a extraordinary young coincidence

48:17just managed to hold on hold on after Christmas see the familiar faces one last time yeah well

58:30Count them out, who's got the most?
58:35Said we'd be close, said we'd work perfectly, said that we'd do beautiful company.
58:46Closer than a sister to her baby brother, closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother.
59:00It's too close for a lover, it's too close for a lover, we are each other.
