00:00:51Hi, how are you doing, yes, and welcome to our brand new CITV Favourites video.
00:00:55Yeah, we've got lots of excellent and classic stuff lined up for you.
00:00:58And to get things started off, it's one of the best episodes of Zig and Zag, featuring
00:01:02Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
00:01:03It certainly is, and let me tell you, it doesn't get any funnier than this.
00:01:09This place smells of garlic.
00:01:12Get your evil talents off me.
00:01:15Zig's having a little sleepy, weepy, peepy.
00:01:17Hold on a second.
00:01:18Let me, ah, that's what I'm looking for.
00:01:21Ah, Zig, you were having an afternoon, Mary Kim.
00:01:27There was an evil witch chasing me.
00:01:29Don't worry, we cancelled, Grot Bags.
00:01:30We've got that gorgeous American superstar instead, Melissa Joan Hart.
00:01:34No, that's her, the evil blue and red.
00:01:36Oh, Zig, Melissa Joan Hart isn't a witch.
00:01:39There's nothing witchy about her.
00:01:43Hey.
00:01:44Oh, hi, Zig and Zag.
00:01:45Oh, hi.
00:01:46I'm just laughing about something I saw in Caroline and the City last week, the commercials.
00:01:49Oh, what was that big flash, then?
00:01:51Must be my sparking trainers, they're a little faulty or something.
00:01:53Oh, you see.
00:01:54What's wrong with Zig?
00:01:55Oh, Zig, I'm just laughing.
00:01:57He just thinks you're a scary witch who should be burned at the stake.
00:02:01Oh.
00:02:01Yes, but thankfully we're not all weirdos on this show, Melissa.
00:02:04Good.
00:02:05Well, I brought you those pictures of me taking a bath like you asked.
00:02:09Right?
00:02:10Thank you for warning me about those British customs regulations.
00:02:12Yes, that's so funny.
00:02:13Hang on, what British customs regulations?
00:02:16Well, don't you know anything?
00:02:17No, Melissa, um.
00:02:18Anyone wanting to work in this country has to provide Zag with photographic evidence they don't have peculiar bathing habits.
00:02:23Yes, thank you.
00:02:24Wait a minute, that's not blooming.
00:02:26Ah, indeed.
00:02:26Um, it's time for the show.
00:02:28Yes, we'd better get ready, Melissa.
00:02:34I'll expose you for the wit you are, Melissa Joan Hart.
00:02:37I'll expose you and my name's not Elliot Frampton.
00:02:43I mean, my name's not Zig.
00:02:45Oh, and I've got a room at Blue and Big Z now.
00:02:50Oh, ladies and gentlemen, it's the Zig and Zig show and the word of the week is Sprouts.
00:03:11Well, listen out for it.
00:03:14Hello, you lot.
00:03:15You lot of raggle-taggle-gaggle of cutthroat mercenaries.
00:03:19Who are you?
00:03:20The audience.
00:03:22And what are you watching?
00:03:23Pet Rescue.
00:03:25Pet Bloomin' Rescue?
00:03:27Zig.
00:03:27Right, right, right, I'll tell you what, I'll just tell you what, I'll just tell you what right now, right?
00:03:30I'm just not going to let it bother me anymore, you know what I mean?
00:03:33I'm just not going to let it bother me, let's say Bloomin' Pet Rescue.
00:03:35That's good, Zig.
00:03:36Line's too short.
00:03:37Yeah.
00:03:37Okay, Zig.
00:03:38Calm.
00:03:39Right, Sam.
00:03:39Just watch this, please.
00:03:41Please welcome our guest.
00:03:42Zig, what are you doing with those?
00:03:44Um, this tray of, um, crockery?
00:03:45Oh, nothing.
00:03:50I'll ignore that.
00:03:51Please welcome our celebrity guest presenter all the way from the USA, Melissa Joan Hall!
00:04:07See, Zach, see?
00:04:08See?
00:04:08I have to do something about my trainers.
00:04:10Hi, guys.
00:04:10Yeah.
00:04:10Hi.
00:04:11See, Zach, I told you she was a witch.
00:04:12Look at her, look, look, see?
00:04:13See?
00:04:14Um, yes, uh, you do look at her.
00:04:16I'm tired, witchy, Mel.
00:04:17Well, some clever person has burned all my stage clothes.
00:04:21This witch's outfit was the only thing I could find to wear.
00:04:23I wonder who could have done that, Zig?
00:04:25Stay back, you spell-weaving sorceress!
00:04:28Zig!
00:04:28Melissa is our guest.
00:04:30Now behave.
00:04:31Oh, okay.
00:04:32Melissa, in my capacity as host, I've prepared a special meal for you to welcome you to the show.
00:04:38Oh, that's nice, Zig.
00:04:39Oh, thanks, Zig.
00:04:40Maybe I misjudged you.
00:04:42Bring on Melissa's special meal, please.
00:04:46What's this?
00:04:46Hansel and Gretel?
00:04:48That's what you witches eat, isn't it?
00:04:50They'll be done in about ten minutes.
00:04:52Zig, you are twisted.
00:04:54You really are.
00:04:55What?
00:04:55I'm sorry, Melissa.
00:04:57Zig made me do it.
00:04:58And, Zig, can I just say, you shouldn't persecute somebody just because they're a witch.
00:05:02Times are very tough for witches today in this witch's society.
00:05:06Oh, and how do you know so much about it, Claudia Winkleman?
00:05:11Or should I say, Mistress Cauldry and Witchelman?
00:05:15Oh, I'm just going to go and do some work now.
00:05:18Dirty work.
00:05:19Zig!
00:05:20Look at me.
00:05:21I can't do the show dressed like this.
00:05:23Wow.
00:05:24Neat camera trick.
00:05:25Yeah.
00:05:26Camera trick.
00:05:27My arm.
00:05:28Oh, Melissa, I wanted to ask you some questions.
00:05:31Okay.
00:05:31You know, because we're big fans.
00:05:32Aren't we everyone a big fan here of Sabrina the Teenage Witch?
00:05:35Yeah.
00:05:36Of course we are.
00:05:37I bet you are.
00:05:38Actually, one thing I always wanted to know, right, there's a talking cat in Sabrina, right?
00:05:43Now, do you have any pets in real life?
00:05:45I do.
00:05:45I have a dog.
00:05:46Dalmatian.
00:05:47Oh.
00:05:47What's the dog's name?
00:05:48Pele.
00:05:49Oh, cool name.
00:05:51Um, Melissa, a question from me.
00:05:53Um, how did you get over here?
00:05:55I flew.
00:05:57Ah-ha!
00:05:59What's he?
00:05:59On a plane.
00:06:01Oh.
00:06:01Oh, I'm sorry about that.
00:06:02Now, you must have loads of showbiz mates living in Los Angeles.
00:06:06Who's like the most famous phone number in your book?
00:06:10Oh, Steven Spielberg.
00:06:11No way!
00:06:12Do you know Speely?
00:06:13No.
00:06:14Do you not?
00:06:15Do you cook on a cooker or on an open fire in the woods?
00:06:19I don't cook, actually.
00:06:22I use a microwave.
00:06:23Do you use a vacuum cleaner or a broom at home?
00:06:27Vacuum cleaner?
00:06:28Yeah, it's sick.
00:06:29Yeah, right.
00:06:29Yeah, well, no, it's just asking.
00:06:31And what's coming up for Sabrina?
00:06:33Well, Sabrina has a choice now to make between, um, her boyfriend, her ex-boyfriend Harvey,
00:06:39and her current boyfriend Dash.
00:06:41So that's kind of the way we left it this season.
00:06:43So we'll see who she chooses.
00:06:45Yeah.
00:06:46Now, if you had to snog Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, or Bill Clinton, who would you choose?
00:06:51Well, Leo would kind of be my...
00:06:53Leo, eh?
00:06:54First name basis, huh?
00:06:56Well, come on out, Leo!
00:06:57Leonardo DiCaprio!
00:06:58No, no, Zig, no, Zig.
00:06:59What?
00:07:00Zig, no.
00:07:01Did he not catch the bus?
00:07:02No, no.
00:07:03Anyway, another thing I want to know, what kind of humour goes down well in the USA?
00:07:08Is it sophisticated or TH?
00:07:10Well, what's TH?
00:07:12Toilet humour!
00:07:13Shall we show her some?
00:07:15Yeah!
00:07:21Yes, hello, hello, and good evening, and welcome to Through the Bog Hole, the show where Melissa
00:07:27Joan Hart has to identify the lavvies of the famous.
00:07:31Gross Lloydman, can we have the first toilet?
00:07:34This first toilet is made from solid gold, so the owner must have plenty of dosh.
00:07:40Note the obvious rug on the seat.
00:07:42I reckon it's a case of scandal in the wind.
00:07:45Who would poo on a loo like this?
00:07:49Over to you, Melissa.
00:07:50The brown rug gives it away.
00:07:52It must be Elton's John.
00:07:54Correct!
00:07:56Now, the second toilet, please.
00:07:58Gross.
00:07:58This toilet takes a lot of weight and probably says, doop, when the owner sits on it.
00:08:05Note the yellow coloured and sparsely covered top.
00:08:08It's definitely a Homer to someone.
00:08:11Who would poo on a loo like this?
00:08:14It's Homer Simpson's toilet.
00:08:16Of course it is!
00:08:17Well done!
00:08:18You're good at this.
00:08:19OK.
00:08:20Who is toilet number three?
00:08:22Now, this facility over here is a double whammy.
00:08:25It's two large ones with blonde hair and not a lot else.
00:08:29If I was busting, this toilet would be my lifesaver.
00:08:34Who would poo on a loo like this?
00:08:38It's got to be Pamela Anderson's toilet.
00:08:40She's right!
00:08:42Woo!
00:08:43That is cool.
00:08:44Aw, guys, thanks.
00:08:45I now appreciate the value of toilet humour.
00:08:48Oh, good.
00:08:48Oh, OK.
00:08:49After the break, we have music from Oasis, don't we, guys?
00:08:52Um...
00:08:52Well, kind of, sort of, in a kind of roundabout way.
00:08:55Well, that's what they told me.
00:08:57Yes.
00:08:57See after these messages.
00:09:04OK, Melissa, we're on the commercials.
00:09:07Melissa, you're doing just great, but could you try and concentrate on your accent a little
00:09:09more?
00:09:09It slips a little sometimes.
00:09:11Hey, bye-8, lad.
00:09:12What do you want for two quid and a black pudding?
00:09:14I'll set me whippets on you, you reeks marmy balm cake.
00:09:17Come on, you stupid machine.
00:09:19Give me my coffee for once.
00:09:20Come on.
00:09:21Do you know what, Sue?
00:09:23Isn't Melissa great?
00:09:24She had to touch a class to the show, I think.
00:09:27Oh, yeah, but I'll tell you what.
00:09:28I'd still like to burn her at the stake, just to be absolutely sure.
00:09:32Oh, that is just a typical witchist attitude.
00:09:35Just because a woman wants to play with a few broomsticks, do a few magic spells, you
00:09:39want to burn her.
00:09:40You know what?
00:09:40This is the 90s, OK?
00:09:41We don't persecute witches anymore.
00:09:43Yes, we do.
00:09:44What about Eureka Johnson?
00:09:45Well, it's just not right.
00:09:48Yes, it is, stupid.
00:09:51Sir, I will turn into a cup of coffee.
00:09:55So you have, Zig.
00:09:57Hey, does this mean you're going to get drunk?
00:09:59Because you're not old enough, young man.
00:10:02No.
00:10:04Oh, so you're all right again?
00:10:06Huh?
00:10:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:09See?
00:10:09I told you there was witchcraft going on here.
00:10:11Hmm, so you did.
00:10:13Hang on.
00:10:14Well, Claudia's been defending witches all day.
00:10:17Yeah?
00:10:17Claudia wiggled her fingers before you became the coffee.
00:10:21Yeah.
00:10:21And Claudia wiggled them before you turned back.
00:10:23Yeah.
00:10:23Well, then it's obvious who the witch is.
00:10:26Melissa.
00:10:27Exactly.
00:10:28Mm-hmm.
00:10:28Let's put her on trial.
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:32Yeah!
00:10:35Hi!
00:10:37Welcome back, Mistwoo.
00:10:40Mistwoo.
00:10:41Oh.
00:10:42Hi, I'm Melissa Joan Hart.
00:10:44Later on, we have music from Oasis.
00:10:45Isn't that right, guys?
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:48Okay, but first are our speciality act,
00:10:52Nobbing the Gnome and Minnie.
00:10:58Oh, diddly diddly, cutcheridly,
00:11:00quicker I be gone.
00:11:02Diddly diddly, cutcheridly,
00:11:04I'm a leprechaun.
00:11:06I'm a leprechaun.
00:11:07Let's see ya.
00:11:09Now back in Ireland,
00:11:11in the days of yore,
00:11:14the little wee man,
00:11:15I shall not see it anymore.
00:11:17Oh, I can't even stand this.
00:11:20Oh, we can't even stand this.
00:11:22The best that's ever been
00:11:25Wearing silver buckles
00:11:27Eat, bazooka, leprechaun.
00:11:35Come on, keep still, you prancing, pixie.
00:11:42He's gone.
00:11:43Yeah!
00:11:45Thank you!
00:11:47So, guys, what is next?
00:11:50Oh, well, um,
00:11:52Zig and me were wondering
00:11:53Wondering?
00:11:54If we could put you on trial for witchcraft
00:11:56with a view to burning you at the stake?
00:11:58If, if, if, if, if, that's okay with you.
00:12:00Oh, well, okay then.
00:12:02Sounds like fun.
00:12:03Oh, excellent.
00:12:09Silence in court!
00:12:11Silence in court!
00:12:12Prosecutor Zig, put forth your case.
00:12:15I say we burn Melissa Joan Hart for being a witch!
00:12:18Burn a witch!
00:12:20Burn a witch!
00:12:21Silence in court!
00:12:23What be your proof?
00:12:25Look at this photo, Your Honour!
00:12:27See how her image doth not even appear!
00:12:31Well, it was cut out!
00:12:33And besides, I play a witch on a TV show.
00:12:36A likely story.
00:12:37And, Your Honour, she can bewitch you and force you to dance a merry ragamuffin dance at will!
00:12:42Be this so, I watch.
00:12:46Mistress Melissa, what be these?
00:12:49Sprouts.
00:12:51Oh, ridges like a muffin' on the M.I.C.
00:12:54Come, follow me, come, follow me, come, come, come, follow me
00:12:57With my wicked fears, like I'm an alien stylin'
00:13:01Come, come, come, follow me, come, come, come, follow me
00:13:06Silence in court!
00:13:08So it be true, thou art a witch!
00:13:13Mistress Melissa of Joan Hart, ye have been found guilty of witchery,
00:13:19and knocking about with the long-haired, pointy-hatted, ugly lot,
00:13:23who fly on broomsticks and have warty noses.
00:13:26What happens next is up to thee.
00:13:29Do you want to be burned at the stake?
00:13:33Or do you want to go for the car?
00:13:37I think I'll go for the car.
00:13:42Okay, Melissa, she'll win the lovely, smashing, great super car.
00:13:47All you have to do is tell us who is the real witch.
00:13:51Take your time, love.
00:13:52Well, I'm not entirely sure, and it's wrong to label people,
00:13:56but, well, there's a lovely car, so I'd have to say...
00:14:00Claudia Winkleman.
00:14:03Well done, Melissa.
00:14:05Security, take the witch out and dispose of her in the usual manner.
00:14:09Melissa, you sneaky wench, I was sticking up for you.
00:14:12Let's show this.
00:14:13It certainly is.
00:14:15Now to take it out, it's Zoases.
00:14:18Fantastic, I love Zoases.
00:14:21No, Zoases, um...
00:14:23It's kind of just the same as Zoases, only, um...
00:14:26They're very big on the hog.
00:14:27Well, kind of different.
00:14:28Yeah, check it out.
00:14:43You gotta roll with it
00:14:46You gotta take your time
00:14:48You gotta say what you say
00:14:50Don't let anybody get in your way
00:14:53Cause it's all too much
00:14:55For me to take
00:14:59You gotta take your time
00:15:02You gotta say goodbye
00:15:03Yeah, come on
00:15:27So wait, hang on, let me get this straight
00:15:29Wait, you're now admitting
00:15:30That you were actually a witch after all
00:15:33Yeah, I told you
00:15:35I really am a witch
00:15:36Oh, by the way, that car I want is faulty
00:15:39There's something wrong with the steering wheel
00:15:40Oh yeah, they're on the other side in this country
00:15:43Weird
00:15:44All right, bye then
00:15:45Bye
00:15:48What have we done, Zig?
00:15:50Is it too late to save Claudia Winkleman?
00:15:52Yep
00:15:54But on the other hand, the bay potatoes are done
00:15:57Oh, cool
00:15:57All's well that ends well then
00:16:05Now that was funny
00:16:06I told you that was a good one
00:16:08But what's coming up next?
00:16:09Well, it's time to try yourself with Neil B. Cannon
00:16:12Must be Art Attack
00:16:14This is an Art Attack
00:16:15This is an Art Attack
00:16:17This is Art Attack
00:16:46Ah, hello there
00:16:49Hey listen
00:16:50Do you fancy a quick game of Noughts and Crosses?
00:16:53Well, forget the boring old pencil and scrap of paper
00:16:56What you need is the 3D Deluxe version
00:17:00And here it is
00:17:02Watch this
00:17:02Three in a row
00:17:03And I win
00:17:05Come and have a look at this
00:17:08Now to make 3D Noughts and Crosses
00:17:10You need a small sized newspaper
00:17:12And we're going to start by making the playing grid
00:17:14That's the lines that you play on
00:17:16And you need to take one sheet of your newspaper
00:17:19And close it
00:17:21And then roll it up
00:17:22From the bottom
00:17:23To the top
00:17:24In a nice
00:17:25Tight
00:17:26Neat roll
00:17:27Like that
00:17:28So you've got
00:17:29A paper tube
00:17:31And then
00:17:31A little bit of tape
00:17:33Just to tape that into position
00:17:35So it doesn't all fall apart
00:17:36And the idea is to make four of these paper tubes
00:17:40All together
00:17:40And then just place them
00:17:42Two next to each other like that
00:17:43Two on the top
00:17:44To create the playing grid
00:17:46And when you're happy with the position
00:17:48Tape them down
00:17:49Use lots of tape
00:17:50And make them nice and secure
00:17:51So that you have something
00:17:52That looks like this
00:17:54Now to make the Noughts and Crosses themselves
00:17:56Take another folded sheet of newspaper
00:17:59And again roll it neatly from the bottom to the top
00:18:03Only this time when you've got your paper tube
00:18:07Instead of taping it
00:18:08Just twist it tightly
00:18:10Like that
00:18:11So that you get a nice tight twist of newspaper
00:18:15And now you need to make ten of these all together
00:18:20Now for the crosses
00:18:22Take one of these twisted pieces of newspaper
00:18:25And just measure it up with the middle square on your playing grid
00:18:30And just trim it so that you have a little bit that fits inside that square
00:18:37And then another piece across like that
00:18:40That also fits inside that square
00:18:43And then just put the two of them together
00:18:45And tape them into a cross
00:18:51And there it is
00:18:53You need to make five crosses all together
00:18:56For the Noughts
00:18:57Again take another twisted piece of newspaper
00:19:01And again measure that on the inside square of your playing grid
00:19:06So that it fits
00:19:07That's about it
00:19:08And then again put a piece of tape round
00:19:12And it's the right size
00:19:14The reason I'm measuring it against the grid
00:19:15Of course so it will fit inside the grid
00:19:18And then you can trim off the excess there
00:19:21Perfect fit
00:19:22And again you need to make five Noughts
00:19:25So that's five Noughts
00:19:26And five crosses all together
00:19:29So that's the basic shapes
00:19:31Now to make them really strong and solid
00:19:33You need to papier-mache them
00:19:34Let me just bring in my old friend here
00:19:36PVA glue
00:19:37The white school glue in the squidgy bottles
00:19:39Mix it two parts glue
00:19:41One part water
00:19:42And then I'm going to start with the playing grid
00:19:44It's just a case of spreading the glue onto your pieces
00:19:49The playing grid here
00:19:50And then wrapping some kitchen roll
00:19:53Or tissue paper
00:19:54Or even loo roll
00:19:56Around the bars of your playing grid
00:19:59Like that
00:19:59And just paste them on
00:20:01Like that
00:20:02Around the back
00:20:04Pushing it into all those nooks and crannies
00:20:07And the idea is to cover the whole of your playing grid
00:20:10In two layers of PVA glue
00:20:13And tissue paper
00:20:14Or kitchen roll
00:20:15And the same with your Noughts and crosses
00:20:17And when you've done the whole lot in two layers
00:20:19Put them to one side to dry overnight
00:20:21And when they've dried
00:20:23Look at this
00:20:24They've gone rock hard
00:20:27And they're ready to paint
00:20:29And paint it using poster paint
00:20:31Or acrylic paint
00:20:32But whatever you do
00:20:33Make sure you paint it in outrageous colours
00:20:36Look at that
00:20:36I'm just slopping on this fluorescent pink here
00:20:39Onto the playing grid
00:20:40And do your Noughts and crosses
00:20:42In exactly the same way
00:20:44And see what I've done with mine
00:20:46When mine was dry
00:20:47I put on
00:20:49Some extra little polka dots
00:20:51Look at that
00:20:52That looks really crazy
00:20:53And you can go really berserk
00:20:55With the Noughts
00:20:57And the crosses
00:20:59And there it is
00:21:01Sort of ready to play really
00:21:03And the great thing is
00:21:04You can do any design you like
00:21:07What about something like this
00:21:09Black and white polka dots
00:21:12There it is
00:21:13And you can leave it lying around your house
00:21:15Because it looks great
00:21:16Just as a piece of modern art
00:21:17And of course
00:21:18If it's there
00:21:19It's always there
00:21:20When you fancy a quick game
00:21:22Try it yourself
00:21:233D Noughts and crosses
00:21:29Hello
00:21:30It's me
00:21:31The Head
00:21:32Hey
00:21:32They are a brilliant idea
00:21:35And if you want to make a set
00:21:37Roll up and tape
00:21:38Four sheets of newspaper
00:21:40Arrange them to make your playing grid
00:21:42And tape securely
00:21:44Bend twisted pieces of newspaper
00:21:46Into circles
00:21:47To make five Noughts
00:21:49For the crosses
00:21:50Cut two bits
00:21:51And tape them into an X shape
00:21:53Mix white school glue
00:21:55With a bit of water
00:21:56And use it to paste
00:21:57Strips of tissue
00:21:59Around everything
00:22:00When they're dry
00:22:01Paint all your pieces
00:22:03And you'll have your very own
00:22:05Deliciously delightful
00:22:06Deluxe set
00:22:07Of three dimensional
00:22:09Noughts and crosses
00:22:10Mmm
00:22:23Do you know what I love?
00:22:24I love it when you get to see
00:22:26Behind the scenes
00:22:27On film and TV sets
00:22:30Especially spooky ones
00:22:31In fact
00:22:32I got to see behind the scenes
00:22:34On a spooky film set
00:22:35The other day
00:22:36And you know
00:22:36Things aren't quite what they seem
00:22:41Oh
00:22:42God
00:22:42Look at this
00:22:45Oh
00:22:46Look at that
00:22:47Look at that
00:22:53What's this?
00:22:55Gone
00:22:55To
00:22:56Lodge
00:22:57Oh
00:22:59God
00:23:01God
00:23:19This gives me an idea
00:23:21For a big heart attack
00:23:23A big heart attack
00:23:23A big heart attack
00:23:27A big heart attack
00:23:30A big heart attack
00:23:30A big heart attack
00:23:32A big heart attack
00:23:34A big heart attack
00:23:36A big heart attack
00:23:37A big heart attack
00:23:39A big heart attack
00:23:39A big heart attack
00:23:41A big heart attack
00:23:42A big heart attack
00:23:42A big heart attack
00:23:42A big heart attack
00:23:42A big heart attack
00:23:43A big heart attack
00:23:43A big heart attack
00:23:43A big heart attack
00:23:51A big heart attack
00:26:22That was Frank-tastic.
00:26:25Now, don't you go messing about with any bits of scientific equipment, will you?
00:26:29It can be very dangerous.
00:26:45Have you got a set of these watercolour paints?
00:26:49But does your water always end up looking like this?
00:26:52And your pictures end up looking like this?
00:26:54A complete splodgy mess.
00:26:57Well, believe it or not, watercolours are one of the hardest art materials to use.
00:27:01Many times I've ended up with a complete mess like this because it's all run out of control.
00:27:06Well, here's some tips on how to get good results from your watercolour paints.
00:27:11First of all, draw a sketch on nice thick drawing paper.
00:27:16Watercolours work best on thicker paper.
00:27:18And when you do your sketch, just do the outlines and the shapes.
00:27:22You don't need to put in any detail.
00:27:23And when it comes to mixing your paint, just mix it with water in the lid tray of your paint
00:27:30box.
00:27:31And if you haven't got one of those, then you can always use empty yoghurt cartons that you've washed out.
00:27:35Now, the technique to watercolour painting is just simply to brush on the paint onto the paper and keep that
00:27:43wash going as quickly as you possibly can.
00:27:46Just keep it going down your paper like this.
00:27:49And try not to go back on yourself.
00:27:52Even if you miss a bit, just keep going.
00:27:55And you get a nice, smooth wash.
00:28:03And you don't have to colour it in absolutely perfectly.
00:28:06Just control that wash all the way down to the bottom.
00:28:11And then stop.
00:28:13Stop and allow it to dry.
00:28:15And, you know, that is the secret to good watercolour paintings.
00:28:19Paint each section, then stop and allow it to dry before you move on to the next bit.
00:28:24That way, the paint won't all run into each other and go out of control.
00:28:28So I'm going to put this to one side.
00:28:30And that's exactly what I did with this picture.
00:28:34I did each section.
00:28:35I allowed it to dry before I moved on to the next section.
00:28:38And look at it.
00:28:39It's crisp, clear, and there are no runs because I controlled the paint.
00:28:44So when your background is dry, then you can add on a layer of shading.
00:28:49And to do this, you just mix your paint slightly thicker and add in touches of black.
00:28:55And then just paint it on to the dried background.
00:29:00And look at that.
00:29:01No runs at all.
00:29:05Just another little bit there, like that.
00:29:10Just to finish off some windows.
00:29:16And here's another good tip.
00:29:18It's pointless doing a watercolour painting with dirty water
00:29:22because you'll get all your paint a dirty grey.
00:29:26So use one lot of water to wash your brush with
00:29:29and another lot of water to paint with.
00:29:32And just make sure your background layers are really dry
00:29:35and then you can add in some finer detail.
00:29:41And I'm just blotting on some shadow in the bushes here.
00:29:48Not too much detail, just an extra shadow there.
00:29:55And then just real fine detail with a thinner brush.
00:30:06And there you have a perfectly clear and crisp picture with no runs.
00:30:20Of course, if you do want your paint to run,
00:30:22to create an effect like reflections in water,
00:30:25then get loads of water onto your brush.
00:30:27And actually, this is where dirty water comes in handy
00:30:30because you just make your paper really wet
00:30:34with that dirty water.
00:30:37Look at that.
00:30:37Just a bit more in there.
00:30:39Get a bit of the sky reflection in as well.
00:30:42Make my paper really wet.
00:30:46And then just start to put in some darker reflections.
00:30:54So here we go.
00:30:55Let's try those trees.
00:30:57Yes, look at that.
00:30:59The paint's really out of control.
00:31:02Running everywhere.
00:31:04Different colour.
00:31:11And there it is.
00:31:13Try it yourself.
00:31:14A watercolour painting.
00:31:15But don't forget, let all the bits dry
00:31:17before you move on to the next bit
00:31:19and keep the paint in control.
00:31:22Well, I've really learnt something there.
00:31:25I just need to paint each part of my picture,
00:31:28letting each bit dry
00:31:30before I paint the next bit.
00:31:32I'll try that next time.
00:31:35Because it's bound to be better than this.
00:31:52Hi, I'm Emma, and this is my swan picture.
00:31:54I made the swan out of black paper
00:31:56and using squares, triangles and rectangles.
00:31:59This is a technique called tangram.
00:32:01I placed the swan on a pink marble background
00:32:04to make it show up brightly.
00:32:07Hello, my name is Philip
00:32:08and I have done this picture on the computer.
00:32:11I chose neighbour blue as a background
00:32:12and I then drew some little yellow chips
00:32:14to go on top.
00:32:15I then repeated the pattern across the page.
00:32:19Hi, I'm Rebecca
00:32:20and I painted a simple pattern.
00:32:22I did black lines out from the middle of the picture
00:32:25and to make it eye-catching
00:32:26I painted lots of squiggles,
00:32:28star shapes and spots.
00:32:31Yeah, great art attacks.
00:32:32And do you know what?
00:32:33That pattern has given me an idea.
00:32:35Here's a challenge for you.
00:32:37See if you can create
00:32:38a never-ending line pattern
00:32:41using a line that never ends.
00:32:44Try this.
00:32:45Take a piece of paper
00:32:46and just draw a line
00:32:48across the middle of it
00:32:49and then suddenly change direction.
00:32:52And then suddenly change direction again
00:32:54and go back on yourself.
00:32:55Change direction again.
00:32:56Go back on yourself.
00:32:58And then change direction again
00:32:59and go up there.
00:33:01And the idea
00:33:02is to just build up a pattern
00:33:04using a line that never ends.
00:33:07And you can draw
00:33:08short lines like that
00:33:10or longer lines.
00:33:11You can even draw
00:33:12like square boxes like this.
00:33:15But just keep it going
00:33:16and see if you can keep
00:33:17the line as close to itself
00:33:20without actually touching.
00:33:22In fact, there are rules
00:33:25to this game.
00:33:26You mustn't let the line
00:33:27touch itself.
00:33:28You mustn't get trapped
00:33:30inside your own pattern.
00:33:33Ooh, watch out.
00:33:34There we go.
00:33:34And you mustn't stop.
00:33:36In fact, the only reason
00:33:37to stop
00:33:39is to change colour.
00:33:41And you just pick up again
00:33:43where you left off
00:33:43with that never-ending line.
00:33:45And again,
00:33:46just keep the line
00:33:47as close to itself
00:33:49as you dare to go.
00:33:50Keep changing direction.
00:33:52Go back on yourself.
00:33:53You could even wrap
00:33:54the whole thing
00:33:56around itself like that.
00:33:59And then stop
00:34:00and change colour.
00:34:02And just keep going.
00:34:03See if you can fill in
00:34:04the whole of that piece of paper
00:34:06with a never-ending line.
00:34:08And gradually,
00:34:08you'll build up this crazy
00:34:10never-ending line pattern.
00:34:13Good effect, isn't it?
00:34:14Now, you can do
00:34:15a straight line
00:34:16never-ending line pattern
00:34:17like this one.
00:34:18Or you could try
00:34:20a curved line
00:34:21never-ending line pattern.
00:34:23But the rules are the same.
00:34:24You just, this time,
00:34:25draw a curved line
00:34:26and then suddenly
00:34:27change direction
00:34:28and go back on yourself.
00:34:30Change direction again.
00:34:31Go back on yourself.
00:34:32But just this time,
00:34:33you're building up
00:34:34your pattern
00:34:34out of curved lines.
00:34:36Big curves.
00:34:37Small curves like that.
00:34:39But the idea
00:34:40is to keep that line
00:34:41as close to itself
00:34:43as possible.
00:34:44In fact,
00:34:45you could even
00:34:45challenge a friend
00:34:46to see who can keep
00:34:49theirs going
00:34:49the longest.
00:34:51But again,
00:34:53you mustn't let the line touch.
00:34:55You mustn't get trapped
00:34:57inside your own pattern.
00:34:58And you mustn't stop.
00:35:01Because if you do stop,
00:35:03you've lost.
00:35:04Not to worry.
00:35:05Pick up a different colour
00:35:07and just continue
00:35:09your never-ending line pattern.
00:35:11Completely cover the page.
00:35:12And there you have
00:35:13a curved
00:35:14never-ending line pattern.
00:35:17Great fun to do
00:35:18and so simple.
00:35:19And you can do them
00:35:20as big as you like
00:35:23or as small as you like.
00:35:25And you can even use them
00:35:26to decorate things with.
00:35:29There's an exercise book
00:35:31and there's
00:35:32a greetings card.
00:35:34Train yourself
00:35:35never-ending line patterns.
00:35:37See how long
00:35:37you can keep yours going for.
00:35:39And I'll see you next time.
00:35:40Ta-ra!
00:35:43Ta-ra!
00:36:14Neil's very smart, isn't he?
00:36:16He certainly is.
00:36:17And we're now going to boldly go
00:36:18somewhere totally different.
00:36:20We're off to Lavender Castle.
00:36:21And the paradox
00:36:22answers a distress call.
00:36:23Could it be a trap?
00:36:24This could get scary.
00:36:27Lavender Castle.
00:36:28The place of legend.
00:36:30Fabled right across the universe.
00:36:38This is our quest.
00:36:41To find it.
00:37:07The place of legend.
00:37:08The place of legend.
00:37:16The place of legend.
00:37:33I don't believe it.
00:37:36There's no life anywhere.
00:37:38I'm telling you
00:37:39the message was as clear
00:37:40as a bell.
00:37:41There's been a massacre.
00:37:42A massacre.
00:37:45Look.
00:37:46Bodies.
00:37:49There has been a massacre.
00:37:52Poor souls.
00:37:53Whatever could have happened.
00:37:56All right, Roger.
00:37:57Let's go down.
00:37:58There's something evil
00:37:59down there, Captain.
00:38:00Let's be cautious.
00:38:02No.
00:38:02Let's go down there first
00:38:04and then we'll be cautious.
00:38:12All right.
00:38:13Now fan out.
00:38:15Call me if you find
00:38:16anyone alive.
00:38:27They will sleep for hours
00:38:30and when they wake
00:38:32they won't remember
00:38:33a thing.
00:38:36They will spend the rest
00:38:38of their lives
00:38:38trying to work out
00:38:39how they became
00:38:41my slaves.
00:38:47Oh, my word.
00:38:49Are you all right, Captain?
00:38:51Miss Lyca?
00:38:53Mr. Isenbad, sir?
00:38:55I must get them inside.
00:38:59There you are, Mr. Sprogle.
00:39:05They all seem to be
00:39:06in a deep sleep.
00:39:09I'd better have a look
00:39:10around and see
00:39:11what's going on.
00:39:19You what?
00:39:22Painted cutouts.
00:39:25This whole thing
00:39:26is becoming
00:39:27curiouser and curiouser.
00:39:31Than incredibly
00:39:32tastic.
00:39:34My plan has worked
00:39:36brilliantly.
00:39:37No, it hasn't.
00:39:39You didn't get
00:39:39a robot.
00:39:40There's an old saying,
00:39:42Trump.
00:39:43It takes a robot
00:39:45to catch
00:39:46a robot.
00:40:05Oh, egg.
00:40:08Now, that's
00:40:09not a cutout.
00:40:11Destroy
00:40:12destroy the robot.
00:40:14Now, what was it
00:40:15Captain Thryse
00:40:16once said to me?
00:40:19Oh, yes.
00:40:21Discretion
00:40:21is the better
00:40:22part of valor.
00:40:24Which,
00:40:24roughly translated,
00:40:26means
00:40:26run like
00:40:28heck.
00:40:29Oh.
00:40:30Oh.
00:40:31Oh.
00:40:32Oh.
00:40:33Oh.
00:40:33Oh.
00:40:34Oh.
00:40:36Oh.
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:38Oh.
00:40:39Oh.
00:40:39Oh.
00:40:40Oh.
00:40:43I've got to
00:40:44get him
00:40:44away from here.
00:40:47Ah.
00:40:48The very thing.
00:40:50Mr. Risenbad's
00:40:51jetpack.
00:40:58Here, boy.
00:41:00Here, boy.
00:41:03So, you want
00:41:05to play games,
00:41:06do you?
00:41:08Fine.
00:41:10Good boy.
00:41:10Come on.
00:41:20Good boy.
00:41:22Come on.
00:41:23Good boy.
00:41:39All right, my pet, that was fun.
00:41:43Now, take him out.
00:41:51At last, I have got my weekend cottage.
00:41:54And I can nest in the such roof.
00:41:57Yes.
00:41:58And with your filthy habits, that will be the best place for you.
00:42:01Oh.
00:42:09Oh, heck.
00:42:11Oh, heck.
00:42:13Oh, heck.
00:42:14Oh, heck.
00:42:16Oh, no.
00:42:18I'm running out of fuel.
00:42:20Down at the left.
00:42:27I've only got one chance.
00:42:28I must get my timing right.
00:42:45Now, I'm equipped with UMI.
00:42:48That's a universal magnetic interface.
00:42:54It's worked.
00:42:55We are now interfaced.
00:43:02What a wonderful day, Trump.
00:43:05I've got the Paradox and its entire crew.
00:43:10And I've got my home in a thatched...
00:43:13Look!
00:43:17Shooooooot!
00:43:19Why don't you stop him?
00:43:21I can't! He no longer amaze me!
00:43:25Let's get out of here!
00:43:33Why don't you take off?
00:43:36You try taking off with a chunk out of your backside!
00:43:43Whoa! Whoa there!
00:43:49Well done, my gallant steed.
00:43:52Now, back to the Paradox.
00:44:02Now, I know you have voice recognition, so here's what I want you to do.
00:44:15What on earth are you doing, Sir Squeakalot?
00:44:18I've chased Dr. Aegon away, Captain, sir.
00:44:20You see, I rode on the spider's back.
00:44:23Rode on the spider's back?
00:44:26What are you talking about?
00:44:27Well, sir, you see, the bodies were only painted pictures that had been laid on the sand.
00:44:32What painted pictures?
00:44:33Ah, well, they're not there anymore, Mr. Roger.
00:44:37Oh, they're not, are they?
00:44:38No, you see, sir, I told the spider to bury them.
00:44:41There's no spider either, Squeaky.
00:44:44Sir Squeakalot, this desert air made us all very sleepy and perhaps it affected you in some way.
00:44:50Oh, you mean he imagined it?
00:44:53Possibly.
00:45:02What do I see?
00:45:05I see...
00:45:09Oh, no!
00:45:11Now Sproggle's imagining things!
00:45:14Well, what do you see, Sproggle?
00:45:17Oh, nothing, Captain.
00:45:19Nothing at all.
00:45:26Why don't you stop him?
00:45:28Don't you understand?
00:45:29He's been got at!
00:45:32Fear!
00:45:34Fear!
00:45:36Fear!
00:45:38Fear!
00:45:40Fear!
00:45:44Fear!
00:45:47Fear!
00:45:49Fear!
00:45:49Fear!
00:45:52Fear!
00:45:53Fear!
00:45:53Fear!
00:45:54Fear!
00:46:37Hey, I'll tell you what, Stephen, I wouldn't like to find that spider in my bath.
00:46:40Tell me about it, but I'll tell you what, let's go back to finding stuff out.
00:46:43Okay then, erm, I've got just a thing.
00:46:45How to!
00:46:59How do you know when a spider's dead?
00:47:03How do you make a top star?
00:47:05How alarmed is an aspidistra?
00:47:23How?
00:47:25How can you separate ping from pong?
00:47:28Oh, I'm really good at ping pong, mate.
00:47:30It's always been my favourite sport.
00:47:31Is it not called table tennis now, though, Fred?
00:47:33It is, you're right.
00:47:34You're quite right.
00:47:34I've got a plastic glass, two plastic glasses glued together, two table tennis balls.
00:47:38The trick is to get each table tennis ball at the bottom of the other cup.
00:47:44No problem, you just skilfully get them separated in the middle there and jiggle one down to one end.
00:47:49Turn the other.
00:47:50No good, Fred.
00:47:51Gail, your go?
00:47:52Spin them, maybe?
00:47:54Very good.
00:47:55But you've only really got one in the centre.
00:47:58Not this kind of spinning, but that kind of spinning.
00:48:02And look at that.
00:48:04I've got one at the bottom, one at the bottom, and the other got it?
00:48:06I've still got two at one end.
00:48:07Well, you've got to start right, Fred.
00:48:09But that's how you separate ping from pong.
00:48:12No trouble.
00:48:13Good game, good game.
00:48:15How alarmed is an Aspidistra?
00:48:18A what?
00:48:19Here's an object.
00:48:21Here's some electrical charge.
00:48:24Okay.
00:48:26Now, here's another object also holding some charge.
00:48:30And as I bring the two closer together, the amount of charge that each can hold increases.
00:48:38It's as if the glasses are getting bigger in front of your very eyes.
00:48:42And you can actually see this increase in capacitance on this simple circuit.
00:48:49Piece of copper plate there, which has got some charge in it.
00:48:52It's holding some charge.
00:48:54So am I.
00:48:55If I put my hand close to the plate, watch what happens to the metre there.
00:49:00That increase in capacitance.
00:49:03Take my hand away.
00:49:04It goes down.
00:49:05Put my hand close to it.
00:49:06It goes up.
00:49:08And using a simple circuit like that, I've got a very, very effective demonstration.
00:49:15Well, here's an identical circuit.
00:49:17And I can use it to switch on the electric light in my lounge.
00:49:21There we are.
00:49:21Very effective.
00:49:22And so to the Aspidistra, which is where we started.
00:49:25This lovely languid sort of plant.
00:49:28Well, this and all sorts of household objects you can turn into a burglar alarm.
00:49:33Simply place it on the copper plate.
00:49:36Little box of valuables in front of it.
00:49:39What a tempting sight for any passing villain.
00:49:43But let's see what happens when the villain approaches the box of goodies there.
00:49:48Watch.
00:49:52So there we are.
00:49:53The Aspidistra.
00:49:54Quieter than a Doberman and a lot cheaper to feed.
00:49:57And that's how alarmed an Aspidistra can be.
00:50:00Now, how magnificent is mucus?
00:50:04Mucus?
00:50:05Yes.
00:50:05It's not magnificent.
00:50:06It's horrible stuff.
00:50:07Well, it's actually vital to our human health.
00:50:10Well, how can drips that come out of your nose be vital to human health?
00:50:14Well, what it's actually doing is it's clearing bacteria and dirt from your nose, okay?
00:50:19And it also lubricates your insides and it stops us from dissolving.
00:50:25Hey, looking at me.
00:50:26It stops us from dissolving.
00:50:27Let me explain.
00:50:29Now, we have got acid in our stomachs.
00:50:32I will put this on here because I've got some acid in front of us here.
00:50:35And acid dissolves all our food.
00:50:37In fact, it actually dissolves things like metal as well.
00:50:41And this is what happens when you eat a biscuit.
00:50:43It goes into your stomach and it dissolves in acid.
00:50:46We've got to be very careful here.
00:50:48Right, take a look at this.
00:50:49Ooh.
00:50:51There we go.
00:50:52Now, give it a bit of a stir.
00:50:54You see it's starting to go black.
00:50:57And then it's breaking up the biscuit.
00:50:58Well, it's changing colour, isn't it?
00:51:00That looks disgusting.
00:51:02It's gone really dark.
00:51:04It's dissolving it.
00:51:06That's what's happening in our stomachs.
00:51:10So what stops it doing the same to us?
00:51:12Well, it's actually a layer of mucus on our stomach lining.
00:51:15Mucus is our friend.
00:51:17And I have got my very own mucus recipe.
00:51:20Now, firstly, I need protein.
00:51:22Now, gelatine, which I've got here, is pretty pure protein.
00:51:25I've already added gelatin to a lot of hot water here to make it nice and sticky.
00:51:30Now, the reason I've got a lot of water is because mucus is actually made up primarily of water.
00:51:34We also need sugar.
00:51:36Now, syrup is very sugary.
00:51:38So I'll put lots of that in.
00:51:39Like, nice and gloopy and ugh.
00:51:42Lovely.
00:51:43Make a nice mess with that.
00:51:45Some salt.
00:51:47Dash of salt.
00:51:47And, of course, we need a little bit of colouring so it looks nice and mucus-y.
00:51:53Let me see.
00:51:54Oh, that should do us.
00:51:56This creates a barrier between the acid in our stomach walls, protecting us.
00:52:00Isn't that lovely?
00:52:01So how magnificent is mucus?
00:52:03Well, it's pretty underrated, if you ask me.
00:52:07Magnificent.
00:52:08Now, how do you know when a spider is dead?
00:52:11I want you to meet Peter Parker, my spectacular spider pal.
00:52:17But how do you know when a spider's dead?
00:52:19I'd imagine that they've stopped moving.
00:52:21Well, if you look at Peter here, he's not moving at the moment and he's certainly absolutely alive.
00:52:26Now, what happens is they stop breathing and go cold, you see.
00:52:29I'm sorry, Fred.
00:52:30Spiders are already cold-blooded.
00:52:32Yeah.
00:52:32And they don't breathe in the same way that we do, so you can't tell if they're breathing or not.
00:52:37So that's wrong.
00:52:37You see, the answer to this, how, has all got to do with the way that we open and close
00:52:41our joints.
00:52:42Now, this is a human arm.
00:52:43All mammals, in fact, all humans, yourself included, I'm sure, have arms arranged like this.
00:52:49Two sets of muscles.
00:52:50One on the outside of the arm, called the extensor.
00:52:53And what that does is straighten out the joint, like that.
00:52:55And one on the inside of the joint, called a flexor.
00:52:58And that allows you to flex your arm, to close it.
00:53:01But spiders don't have extensors for straightening their arms.
00:53:06And yet Peter here seems quite able to open and close his arms at will.
00:53:12So how's he doing it?
00:53:13Answer's over here.
00:53:15I want you to meet a half spider.
00:53:18This is a semi-Peter.
00:53:20Now then, you can see that his legs are all curled up.
00:53:24Because spiders have flexor muscles, that's the natural state.
00:53:27But in order to extend these arms without the extensor muscles, spiders use hydraulic pressure, indicated on this occasion by
00:53:35Fred's hairdryer.
00:53:36What they do is they pump body fluids at high pressure into the hollow legs.
00:53:41And see how the legs straightens up.
00:53:44But when a spider dies, he can't maintain that pressure.
00:53:49The flexor muscles do their thing, and all the legs curl up underneath them.
00:53:54And that's a good way of telling how a spider is well or not, whether he's alive or dead.
00:54:00They have legs curled up underneath them.
00:54:02So that spider's dead.
00:54:05Well, that spider's not real.
00:54:07But if you saw a spider like that, I wouldn't trust it.
00:54:12Because some spiders have actually learnt to curl their legs up underneath them to give the impression that they're dead.
00:54:18So you never actually know if a spider's dead or not.
00:54:21That's how.
00:54:24Fascinating.
00:54:25How hard is the Tour de France?
00:54:28Well, the Tour began as a publicity stunt for a newspaper in 1903.
00:54:33But it was in 1904 that we saw the toughest, roughest, most controversial Tour of them all.
00:54:41The favourite was Frenchman Maurice Garin.
00:54:45Who'd won the previous year.
00:54:48This time, however, the field was stronger.
00:54:52Get set.
00:54:52Garin set a cracking pace from the start.
00:54:55But after a while, some strange things started to happen.
00:55:00Riders found themselves itching uncontrollably.
00:55:04Almost as if someone had dropped itching powder down their shirts.
00:55:09It soon became clear that not all was quite sporting.
00:55:14One rider is said to have fallen asleep at the handlebars after his drink was doctored with sleeping pills.
00:55:22But then the racing got really dirty.
00:55:54That's the reason why.
00:55:56In the end, Garin won the race.
00:56:00Four months later, however, Garin and the next three riders were all disqualified
00:56:06for everything from laying nails in the road in front of their competitors
00:56:10to hitching lifts in cars.
00:56:13So the first prize eventually went to the fifth place man, Henri Cornet.
00:56:19So, how hard is the Tour de France?
00:56:21Well, in 1904, a very hard and dirty race indeed.
00:56:28How'd you make a soap star?
00:56:30Oh, well, you need a big production company, some good actors, a TV channel.
00:56:34No, no, no, that's not what I mean.
00:56:35Who's your favourite soap star, Fred?
00:56:36I like that little Leanne in Coronation Street.
00:56:39Seems like a nice girl.
00:56:41Yep, nice family.
00:56:42Nice family.
00:56:42Well, look what I've made you.
00:56:44Little Leanne?
00:56:46Your very own Leanne star.
00:56:48But smell it.
00:56:51Soap.
00:56:51A soap star.
00:56:53A soap star.
00:56:53Can you show us how to make ones?
00:56:54I will show you.
00:56:56Now, it's very, very simple indeed.
00:56:58All you need is a food blender and you need four basic ingredients.
00:57:02You need your salt flakes, cornstarch, a little bit of colouring and some water.
00:57:07Now, what you start off with is 100 millilitres of hot water.
00:57:10Pour that into the blender.
00:57:13There we go.
00:57:14Get the cornstarch, which you can buy from any supermarket.
00:57:18Pop in a tablespoonful of cornstarch.
00:57:21There we go.
00:57:22And then I've added, I'm going to add a little bit of colouring just to make it look nice.
00:57:27About, oh, that much.
00:57:29It might be a little bit too much, but never mind.
00:57:31It doesn't matter.
00:57:33I've measured out about four mugs full of soap flakes.
00:57:37Now, what we've got to do, I've put them into these beakers.
00:57:39What I've got to do is pop them into the blender, but I'm only going to add one cup at
00:57:43a time.
00:57:43Because if I put in too many, it'll get stuck in the blades and it won't be much use to
00:57:49us.
00:57:49So put in one, so put the lid in the blender and switch it on.
00:57:59You see, it's beginning to mix quite nicely there and I'd add more soap flakes as I went along.
00:58:05And then eventually I would end up with this soapy dough.
00:58:09And what I would do then is choose my favourite soap star.
00:58:13I've chosen Adam Rickett, also from Coronation Street.
00:58:15And then I've got a cake cutter, shaped in a star.
00:58:19Pop it down like that.
00:58:20And I've covered Adam with waterproof sticky tape on the front and the back so that he doesn't get all
00:58:25washed out.
00:58:26Pop his picture on the bottom of the cutter.
00:58:28Get my soapy dough and squeeze it right into it like that.
00:58:34Make sure it gets down nicely.
00:58:36And then what I'd do is I'd tidy that all up and pop it into the fridge for a couple
00:58:40of hours.
00:58:41Now, while that's in the fridge for a couple of hours,
00:58:43I would clean this very, very carefully because you want to get rid of all the soap flakes.
00:58:48Then you get, I get my Adam Rickett out of the fridge and he's a lot harder now and it's
00:58:53very cold
00:58:54and it's easy for me to push out of the cake cutter.
00:58:57Like so.
00:58:58Do it very carefully.
00:59:01And, ta-da!
00:59:02There we go.
00:59:04And that is how you make the soap star.
00:59:07How healthy is fat?
00:59:09Not very healthy at all.
00:59:11You don't want too much of that stuff, Gareth.
00:59:12No, absolutely right.
00:59:14Over the day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, it's very important to have a balanced diet.
00:59:20But sometimes that balance can change.
00:59:23Say, for instance, when you found yourself fancying a bite to eat
00:59:28and you were in the middle of the Arctic.
00:59:31Ah.
00:59:33When you're in the Arctic Circle, it's very important to eat properly.
00:59:39In fact, just to stay warm, you need to eat three times as many calories as you would normally.
00:59:46Now, the body would find it almost impossible to digest that amount of food.
00:59:51So, what you need is a superfood.
00:59:54The maximum energy for the minimum amount of space.
00:59:57And what is this wonder food?
00:59:59Well, the answer is suet.
01:00:01It's basically just fat, solid fat, but the body finds it very easy to convert that fat into energy.
01:00:10It's the perfect Arctic food.
01:00:13In fact, a recent expedition ate suet morning, night and day.
01:00:18For breakfast, they had a nice bowl of cereal with suet sprinkled on top.
01:00:24Yum, yum.
01:00:25Lunch would have been some soup with a great glob of suet in it.
01:00:31Dinner was dried meat with suet sprinkled all over it.
01:00:37Mmm, absolutely lovely.
01:00:40Oh, Fred!
01:00:41Mush, mush, mush, mush.
01:00:44I'll tell you what, Gareth.
01:00:45Just in time for lunch, my friend.
01:00:47We've had suet every day, though, for a hundred days.
01:00:50Haven't you got anything else?
01:00:52Well, Fred, come on, what do you expect in the middle of the Arctic?
01:00:55A cafe?
01:00:56What a good idea.
01:00:58Good morning, darling, so what can I get you?
01:01:00Oh, magic, what have you got, love?
01:01:02Well, I've got my board here with all my specialties on it.
01:01:05We've got suet and chips, we've got suet flan, we've got suet soup.
01:01:09All right, darling, you like a bit of suet today.
01:01:11Yeah, sorry, love, you like a bit of suet, eh?
01:01:12We've also got sandwiches, we've got cheese and suet, we've got fried suet,
01:01:15and we've got our speciality, sausage, suet and suet.
01:01:19You'd like that, darling, wouldn't you?
01:01:20Have you got anything without suet, love?
01:01:22So, if you find yourself in the Arctic, suet is surprisingly good for you.
01:01:27And that's how healthy fat is, and that's...
01:01:31How for now!
01:01:32Tell you what, I'll have the veggie suet burger.
01:01:58Well, there's something I didn't know, Danielle.
01:02:00Well, you do know.
01:02:00I tell you what, let's have some totally pointless fun, yeah?
