Hi, I'm Jane McDonald.
Did someone mention cruise?
2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I caught the cruising bug more than
20 years ago when I was working as a
3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,400
singer on a ship.
4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,840
When I was on the ships,
I had no window.
5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,880
I used to have to put the
television on to see what type of
6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,640
day it was.
7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,400
It's not just us Brits
who are crazy about cruising.
8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,840
Last year,
25.8 million holiday-makers
9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,760
worldwide choose to cruise.
10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,800
There's a cruise for everyone.
11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,600
There's quiet cruises, there's party
cruises, there's island cruises,
12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,000
there's river cruises.
13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,280
And I'm just going to carry on
cruising till I've found you
14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:36,800
your perfect cruise.
15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Try stopping me.
16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,160
I'm on a river cruise sailing down
the Rhone from Burgundy to Provence.
17
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,440
I have all this!
18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,160
On board the Avalon Poetry II,
drifting past gorgeously romantic
19
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,600
riverside villages like these.
20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,360
It's breathtaking. Oh!
21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,280
And eating and drinking
everything I see.
22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Ooh, I wish you could smell
what I can smell right now.
23
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
It's like spending a week
eating everything
24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,680
from Tesco's Finest range.
25
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,400
So we are in France.
26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,520
Croissant?
27
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,720
Marvellous.
28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,200
Bonjour, messieurs et mesdames.
29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,760
I'm in France. Je m'appelle Jane.
30
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,400
Je... I am cruising...
31
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,280
I'm not good at this language.
32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
My French cruise starts
on a train in London,
33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360
then via Eurotunnel to Paris,
a bus from Dijon to Beaune and
34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,040
finally to Lyon,
where we join the ship. Phew!
35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,120
Then a meander down the Rhone
to Tournon, Viviers, Avignon,
36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,360
and finally into Arles in Provence.
Flippin' eck!
37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Yeah, we're just going for a trip
now around Beaune,
38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,440
and maybe a spot of lunch,
a little cafe.
39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Then I'm taking myself off
for a drinking lesson.
40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,200
And then back on the bus
and down to Lyon to join the ship.
41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,640
CAMERAMAN: Easy. Easy peasy.
I'm going to miss 'em.
42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Beaune is basically Burgundy wine HQ
and full of stunning ancient
43
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,280
buildings, and like every provincial
French town,
44
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,920
there's a market to die for.
45
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,920
You can't beat a market, you know.
46
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,320
People are drinking coffee
in the street.
47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Innit lovely?
48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,960
Bonjour. Why can't we have markets
like this at home?
49
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,720
It's my favourite thing, just
wandering around people-watching
50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,240
and seeing what's on offer.
51
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:48,120
You don't get queues like that
for bread in Wakefield, do you?
52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Smells so good, you can smell
garlic, and ooooh...
53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600
Actually, that's very French, innit?
54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880
Bonjour. Hello. 16 euros
for a pair of pants?
55
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Bloody hell. Merci.
Au revoir. Au revoir.
56
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,960
Je voudrais fromage.
57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,760
INTERVIEWER: What do hope to learn
from a nice week in France?
58
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,240
Well, I want to learn about cheese,
59
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640
wine, definitely wine,
copious amounts of wine.
60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,760
I've got my Gaviscon with me,
and my Rennies,
61
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,400
so I should be all right,
shouldn't I?
62
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,760
I'm taking meself off for
a French lesson in drinking wine.
63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840
To be honest, I'd say I'm already
A-Level standard, but we'll see.
64
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Every year, Burgundy produces
about 200 million bottles of wine.
65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,120
Their white wines are legendary.
66
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Meursault, Puligny, Mont...
No. Puligny-Mont...
67
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,360
SHE WHINES
68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320
I can't say it!
69
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520
I mean, I'm quite happy with,
you know, Lidl.
70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Aldi do a very good wine,
Chilean, under a fiver,
71
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,520
that's what I'm used to.
72
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,640
Ah, bonjour.
73
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Bonjour. Bonjour Pascale.
Yes, it's me. Hello. I'm Jane.
74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,480
Salut, Jane.
Come in my little cellar.
75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,680
It's lovely, this is really nice.
76
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160
We use just two grapes here.
77
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,280
One in white and one in red, but we
produce more than 1,000 different
78
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:22,480
wines from this famous area.
Can we do some?
79
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,280
You can try some, with pleasure.
80
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,240
Now he's talking
my kind of language.
81
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,240
And drinking wine is a simple act if
you know how your body is working.
82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,320
If you think about how tastes form
in your mouth and you know that
83
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,760
without breathing,
no taste can exist.
84
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,520
Apparently I've being doing it wrong
all my life.
85
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,720
This is NOT how you drink
a glass of wine.
86
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Oh, no.
87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,920
I eat like chewing meat, my wine.
OK.
88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,280
Look.
89
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,760
So you do it all over?
90
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,600
Like your favourite ice cream
and breathe and swallow slowly.
91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Step by step, not too long.
Oh, yeah!
92
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,680
It's amazing, eh?
That is different. Sucking.
93
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,320
OK, I'm going in for another suck.
94
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,160
It were great, that.
I really enjoyed it.
95
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,360
Actually tasting a proper good wine.
96
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,400
Like a candy on top of your palette.
97
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,600
There is a backwards thing...
Yeah. That's amazing.
98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
I can't get over the difference.
99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,080
And that sensation that actually
came through my mouth,
100
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,200
just something
I'd never tasted before.
101
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,360
That is so good.
102
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,440
You are full of sensations.
I am full of sensations!
103
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,200
That's been a revelation, so I'm
going back for another glass.
104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Pascale, can I have another glass?
Please. Yes, thank you.
105
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520
White or red? Whatever you think.
106
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,800
I reckon in 20 minutes, I've gone
from A-Level to a Master in wine.
107
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Arriverderci, Pascale,
I'm off to Lyon.
108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,800
Lyon is France's second city and the
Rhone is its second longest river.
109
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,640
And come to think of it,
this is my second river cruise.
110
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,640
And look, here's my ship.
111
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,520
The Avalon Poetry II.
112
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,640
Too, too much.
113
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,280
It's me home
for the next seven days.
114
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,080
Right, come on, come on.
115
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,160
I'm Dirk, the hotel manager.
Pleased to meet you.
116
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,400
Very nice to meet you too.
Lovely, lovely.
117
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,280
Please, go ahead.
Thank you very much.
118
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,520
Hello. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Very, very nice to meet you. Hello.
119
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,480
Look at this. Look, look, look.
120
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,200
Look at these lovely staff
all waiting to see you.
121
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,680
Say hello to the camera, everyone.
ALL: Hello.
122
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,520
Already I feel chilled
and everybody's excited,
123
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,440
there's a buzz on board
cos everybody's checking in.
124
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,920
We're finally here.
125
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,080
I'm really looking forward to it.
126
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,320
This ship is all about intimacy,
with room for 128 passengers
127
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,360
along two full decks of suites with
wall-to-wall panoramic windows,
128
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,840
perfect for watching the world
float by.
129
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,960
It's also a perfect size, so, for
once, I shouldn't be getting lost.
130
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,760
Excellent, thank you.
131
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,440
Look at this, this is lovely.
Drinks inside. Yeah.
132
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,880
Mini bar is here.
And all these products.
133
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,080
I'm going to smell lovely.
Oh, yes, for sure.
134
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Look at that. This is what a river
cruise is all about.
135
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,960
I have all this.
I have all this room.
136
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,880
Hello. I've got a bed
with a massive window.
137
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,600
I can see everything going past.
138
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,800
I don't even have to get out of bed,
so you might have to come in
139
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,160
and film me in here...
140
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,440
..in me night dress. Not attractive.
141
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,080
I could not be more happy
with this cabin.
142
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,680
Coming up...
Lyon's beauty seduces me.
143
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:37,280
This is it, this is it.
144
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,960
And the majestic Rhone
casts its spell on me.
145
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:51,450
Bonjour. The early birds are out
catching their worms,
146
00:08:51,450 --> 00:08:55,450
but the only thing I'm interested
in catching some more zzzs!
147
00:08:55,450 --> 00:08:59,010
Mind you it looks like a nice sunny
Sunday and Lyon looks lovely,
148
00:08:59,010 --> 00:09:02,210
so I suppose a bit of sightseeing
and maybe some shopping
149
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:06,130
might be an idea, and some lunch,
and a glass of wine. Why not?
150
00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:07,370
Well, that's today sorted.
151
00:09:07,370 --> 00:09:08,770
KNOCK ON DOOR
152
00:09:10,730 --> 00:09:12,930
What? You're a bit early,
aren't you?
153
00:09:12,930 --> 00:09:15,090
Haven't even got my face
on or anything.
154
00:09:15,090 --> 00:09:16,690
This bed is so lovely.
155
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,010
See, when I were on the ships...
156
00:09:19,010 --> 00:09:22,810
I would be lying in my bed
like this,
157
00:09:22,810 --> 00:09:27,450
my little single bed, and I'd wake
up and there would be a wall there,
158
00:09:27,450 --> 00:09:31,170
and then there's a chest of drawers
right there.
159
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:36,570
I had no window, so I used to have
to put the television on
160
00:09:36,570 --> 00:09:40,010
to see the front of the ship
to actually see
161
00:09:40,010 --> 00:09:41,130
what type of day it was.
162
00:09:43,930 --> 00:09:47,570
So this...I mean, look, I've got
my little window open this morning.
163
00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:51,050
There's a lot of people out there.
164
00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:54,370
Morning!
165
00:09:56,130 --> 00:09:57,930
Why are they up at this time
in the morning?
166
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:01,450
Why are you up at this time? Why am
I up at this time in the morning?!
167
00:10:05,770 --> 00:10:07,170
Good morning.
168
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:09,010
Good to see you,
you had a good night's sleep?
169
00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:13,250
Do you know, it's lovely, isn't it?
And I like the sort of water.
170
00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:14,770
Slight little movement.
171
00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:17,170
It waves you like a baby. It is.
172
00:10:18,850 --> 00:10:21,090
I'm going to have
a look round today.
173
00:10:21,090 --> 00:10:23,290
I know it's Sunday and
everything's shut, but there
174
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:24,730
must be something open.
175
00:10:24,730 --> 00:10:26,250
There will be, won't there?
176
00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:27,250
Oh, what's that?
177
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:39,290
One of the things I most like about
my little trips is the unexpected,
178
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:41,890
and I certainly wasn't expecting
this on my doorstep.
179
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:46,970
Good morning, bonjour.
180
00:10:48,650 --> 00:10:50,370
Bonjour!
181
00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:51,570
You want to try?
182
00:10:51,570 --> 00:10:53,170
Oh, what?
183
00:10:53,170 --> 00:10:55,330
Oh, my God, what have I let
myself in for here?
184
00:10:57,810 --> 00:10:59,130
I don't think I can do that.
185
00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:03,930
Oh, oh, hang on. Two, three.
186
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:06,690
Argh!
187
00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:12,650
That's terrible, innit!
188
00:11:18,770 --> 00:11:20,490
That's it, that's me done.
189
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:23,050
Muscles.
190
00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:24,130
Look at that body.
191
00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:26,970
Look at that... Oh, my goodness me.
192
00:11:26,970 --> 00:11:29,010
This young man's blind.
193
00:11:29,010 --> 00:11:30,490
Wow, but look at him go.
194
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:36,010
Everybody is welcome to train.
195
00:11:36,010 --> 00:11:38,250
All the handicapped
come and train here.
196
00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:41,130
That's a great thing to do,
isn't it?
197
00:11:41,130 --> 00:11:45,330
Cos they say exercise frees
the mind. Yeah.
198
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,290
Is that true? Yeah.
199
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:49,970
I must start.
200
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:52,770
I'm not fit at all,
but what a pleasure. Bye-bye.
201
00:11:54,650 --> 00:11:56,050
Thank you.
202
00:11:56,050 --> 00:11:57,170
Aren't people lovely?
203
00:11:58,370 --> 00:12:00,250
Right, Lyon, I'm coming at ya!
204
00:12:23,650 --> 00:12:24,730
Everything is shut.
205
00:12:26,770 --> 00:12:29,250
The thing is, I quite like the fact
that everything's shut
206
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:32,690
on a Sunday here,
cos everything's open in England,
207
00:12:32,690 --> 00:12:35,330
there's no such thing as a day
of rest any more, is there?
208
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:40,050
Lyon has always been
the food capital of France,
209
00:12:40,050 --> 00:12:41,490
or possibly the world.
210
00:12:41,490 --> 00:12:45,330
It's got 18 Michelin-starred
restaurants which, if I'm honest,
211
00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:48,330
is 18 more than Wakefield's got.
212
00:12:48,330 --> 00:12:52,570
And this is Marche Paul Bocuse, the
most famous food market in France.
213
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:55,930
Oh, smell that!
214
00:12:55,930 --> 00:12:58,170
I wish you could smell
what I can smell right now.
215
00:12:58,170 --> 00:13:00,770
Normally, it's the ship food
that does for my diet,
216
00:13:00,770 --> 00:13:02,650
but here I want to eat everything!
217
00:13:02,650 --> 00:13:05,490
Everywhere is so tempting!
218
00:13:05,490 --> 00:13:09,010
I've got a nose like a ferret
and I can sniff things out
219
00:13:09,010 --> 00:13:10,730
better than anybody I know.
220
00:13:10,730 --> 00:13:12,930
Oh, it's garlic, it's fish,
221
00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:17,650
it's all beautiful things
that are been cooked now.
222
00:13:22,890 --> 00:13:23,890
Mmm.
223
00:13:27,730 --> 00:13:28,970
Nice bit of cheese.
224
00:13:31,690 --> 00:13:35,330
Oh, oysters. I'm gonna have
an oyster, I'm in France.
225
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:39,690
And a glass of wine.
What do you think?
226
00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:41,530
Deux huitres.
227
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:43,130
Which one do you want?
228
00:13:43,130 --> 00:13:45,290
Oh, hello, you speak English.
229
00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:46,810
That's brilliant.
230
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:48,610
A mild one, quite a mild one.
231
00:13:48,610 --> 00:13:52,490
Generally, I recommend
the Gillardeau.
232
00:13:52,490 --> 00:13:54,650
I've just asked for something
in French.
233
00:13:54,650 --> 00:13:56,490
I'm quite proud of myself.
234
00:13:56,490 --> 00:13:58,490
Merci beaucoup.
235
00:13:58,490 --> 00:14:00,210
HE SPEAKS FRENCH
236
00:14:00,210 --> 00:14:02,530
I'm sorry, I don't
understand French.
237
00:14:02,530 --> 00:14:04,690
I am the boss. Oh, really? Voila!
238
00:14:04,690 --> 00:14:06,490
Oh, perfect, perfect!
239
00:14:06,490 --> 00:14:08,610
He's the boss here.
That's very good of you.
240
00:14:10,090 --> 00:14:12,210
I've got a bit of Chablis.
I'm gonna chew it.
241
00:14:13,970 --> 00:14:16,170
I must admit, I'm feeling very,
very French.
242
00:14:16,170 --> 00:14:18,290
Everything is cool,
it's a Sunday afternoon.
243
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:22,770
I've watched Ratatouille, I know
what I'm talking about.
244
00:14:22,770 --> 00:14:24,450
We've got quite
a few oysters here.
245
00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:29,810
How many did you ask for?
I only asked for two. Dix huit?
246
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:33,730
No, that's 18. I can't eat these.
247
00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:35,090
Anybody fancy an oyster?
248
00:14:37,850 --> 00:14:39,170
Are these an aphrodisiac?
249
00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:44,650
Oh, they're so good.
250
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:48,010
18 oysters and several glasses
of Chablis later,
251
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:50,890
I better get back to the ship
before I get into trouble here.
252
00:15:02,890 --> 00:15:06,050
Hello, welcome back! Hi, guys!
253
00:15:06,050 --> 00:15:07,570
I've explored Lyon,
254
00:15:07,570 --> 00:15:09,770
I've had a nice chilled afternoon
on board,
255
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:12,450
so now it's time for an outing
with the camera on my stick.
256
00:15:13,930 --> 00:15:16,050
Come on, let's go for a trip
round the ship.
257
00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:23,050
So this is the atrium. There's
always drinks, I've noticed that.
258
00:15:23,050 --> 00:15:24,450
They're very good at that.
259
00:15:24,450 --> 00:15:25,930
Is that a GoPro?
260
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:29,330
Yeah, yeah, it is. I like them cos
you can spy on people.
261
00:15:29,330 --> 00:15:31,450
Yeah, that's just
what I'm doing with you now.
262
00:15:33,090 --> 00:15:35,770
They want me in California,
don't show my...
263
00:15:35,770 --> 00:15:39,290
What's your name, sorry? Carl.
Really pleased to meet you, Carl.
264
00:15:39,290 --> 00:15:40,330
This is...
265
00:15:41,410 --> 00:15:43,930
It looks like where it all happens.
266
00:15:43,930 --> 00:15:45,370
What do you do on here then?
267
00:15:45,370 --> 00:15:47,930
I do a cheese tasting.
Oh, that's super cos, you know,
268
00:15:47,930 --> 00:15:50,130
we stick to us own,
don't we, really?
269
00:15:50,130 --> 00:15:51,930
A bit of mature cheddar,
that's it for me.
270
00:15:51,930 --> 00:15:54,050
No, we have lots
of lovely things to taste.
271
00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:57,010
I ain't been up here yet.
272
00:15:57,010 --> 00:15:58,090
Oh, wow, look at this.
273
00:15:59,210 --> 00:16:02,570
You see, this is it,
this is it!
274
00:16:02,570 --> 00:16:04,090
We are in France!
275
00:16:06,570 --> 00:16:08,690
There's coffee and everything.
Cookies.
276
00:16:10,410 --> 00:16:12,930
Do you know, you've got to be so
careful on here, haven't you?
277
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:14,290
I've resisted the cookies.
278
00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:18,250
They look nice, though, don't they?
279
00:16:18,250 --> 00:16:21,170
My ship tours wouldn't be the same
without a brief encounter
280
00:16:21,170 --> 00:16:23,250
with the captain now, would they?
281
00:16:23,250 --> 00:16:25,130
How are you?
Fine, thank you, very well.
282
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:28,050
Very nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
283
00:16:28,050 --> 00:16:30,210
So it's a beautiful day.
284
00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:32,090
I am also happy for our guests.
285
00:16:32,090 --> 00:16:34,250
You're too good looking
to be a captain!
286
00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:37,530
So I'm going to leave before I say
something
287
00:16:37,530 --> 00:16:39,130
that I'll get into trouble for.
288
00:16:39,130 --> 00:16:40,370
No, no, it's OK.
289
00:16:42,890 --> 00:16:44,770
He's so gorgeous, isn't he,
for a captain.
290
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:46,370
I mean, whoa! Ruff!
291
00:16:47,850 --> 00:16:50,330
Think it might be true
what they say about oysters!
292
00:16:53,690 --> 00:16:56,650
Everywhere in the world,
river cruises offer their passengers
293
00:16:56,650 --> 00:17:00,850
authentic regional food and drink,
and this one's no exception.
294
00:17:00,850 --> 00:17:02,610
Remember the cheese lady?
295
00:17:02,610 --> 00:17:04,330
I do a cheese tasting.
296
00:17:04,330 --> 00:17:06,970
It's time for a cheesy chat,
so I'm joining in
297
00:17:06,970 --> 00:17:09,210
with my new friend, Carl.
298
00:17:09,210 --> 00:17:10,610
A very good evening, everybody.
299
00:17:10,610 --> 00:17:12,850
Thank you very much
for coming to listen to me.
300
00:17:12,850 --> 00:17:15,690
This one's been
kept in a cave for 12 months.
301
00:17:15,690 --> 00:17:19,730
It's quite firm,
it doesn't taste too goaty,
302
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:21,410
so don't be scared to taste it.
303
00:17:22,850 --> 00:17:24,450
It's not too goaty, Carl.
304
00:17:24,450 --> 00:17:25,890
Please, come help yourselves.
305
00:17:30,410 --> 00:17:31,570
Hello!
306
00:17:31,570 --> 00:17:34,290
One of the nicest things about these
events on board,
307
00:17:34,290 --> 00:17:36,770
well, apart from the fact
that cheese is involved,
308
00:17:36,770 --> 00:17:39,650
is that they give you the chance to
mingle with the other guests.
309
00:17:39,650 --> 00:17:42,010
Are you all right?
Where are you from?
310
00:17:42,010 --> 00:17:44,210
We're from Cumbria.
Oh, lovely.
311
00:17:44,210 --> 00:17:48,850
It's great fun, wine, chat and
cheese, all in the same place.
312
00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:52,010
Good music, good food,
good company.
313
00:17:54,890 --> 00:17:56,090
Goodnight.
314
00:18:22,010 --> 00:18:23,770
We're leaving Lyon today.
315
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:26,530
I'm a bit sad to go, if I'm honest.
I think we've bonded.
316
00:18:29,730 --> 00:18:32,490
People are always rushing
to do things, always..
317
00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:36,210
Everybody's lives are full
of everything now.
318
00:18:36,210 --> 00:18:41,370
Sometimes its nice to just sit on
a deck, watch the world go by
319
00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:42,570
and have a cup of coffee.
320
00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:46,730
Holiday or a vacation is what you
make it,
321
00:18:46,730 --> 00:18:48,530
a way to get away
from the real world.
322
00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:56,850
It's nice to just stop.
323
00:19:53,530 --> 00:19:56,290
The first leg of my cruise
is a small hop from Lyon,
324
00:19:56,290 --> 00:19:58,490
through the majestic green
countryside,
325
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:01,130
and I'm making an unscheduled
stop to head inland.
326
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:08,490
Ever since that 1970s
Cadbury's Flake advert,
327
00:20:08,490 --> 00:20:10,850
I've always wanted to have
a typical French picnic
328
00:20:10,850 --> 00:20:12,690
in typical French countryside,
329
00:20:12,690 --> 00:20:14,810
and I've decided, today's the day.
330
00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:23,450
First, I'm doing a bit of le
shopping pour une pique-nique,
331
00:20:23,450 --> 00:20:25,810
French style.
332
00:20:25,810 --> 00:20:29,130
LAWN MOWER WHIRS
So here I am, in Vernaison,
333
00:20:29,130 --> 00:20:32,290
where they've decided
to cut the grass today.
334
00:20:32,290 --> 00:20:34,890
To complete my '70s
fantasy flashback, I've rented
335
00:20:34,890 --> 00:20:36,730
a classic French car,
336
00:20:36,730 --> 00:20:40,210
which comes complete with a
classic French bloke as standard.
337
00:20:40,210 --> 00:20:42,450
Il s'appelle, Jean Louis.
338
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:47,490
Is this your car? Yes,
it's a deux chevaux Citroen. OK.
339
00:20:47,490 --> 00:20:48,970
French old car.
340
00:20:48,970 --> 00:20:50,970
You want me to drive that?
341
00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:52,250
Yes, yes.
342
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:57,490
I've got the stripy top,
now the beret. Tres chic!
343
00:20:57,490 --> 00:20:59,490
Do you want a croissant?
344
00:20:59,490 --> 00:21:01,530
No, thank you.
345
00:21:01,530 --> 00:21:03,570
Beret? Beret. Yeah.
346
00:21:03,570 --> 00:21:07,170
Right, I'm off to the shops for some
du pain, du charcuterie,
347
00:21:07,170 --> 00:21:08,690
et du vin.
348
00:21:08,690 --> 00:21:10,850
Go, go, go. Oh, train tracks...
349
00:21:10,850 --> 00:21:12,130
SHE LAUGHS
350
00:21:13,290 --> 00:21:15,210
Push.
351
00:21:15,210 --> 00:21:17,210
Yeah? Yeah, it's OK! Woohoo!
352
00:21:20,290 --> 00:21:21,450
I'm going shopping.
353
00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:27,890
At home, if I'm having a picnic,
354
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:29,810
I get everything from
the supermarket,
355
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:31,730
but here it's all
still separate shops.
356
00:21:33,170 --> 00:21:34,330
Oh, look at this!
357
00:21:35,370 --> 00:21:36,730
Bonjour!
358
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:45,210
Je voudrais une baguette.
359
00:21:47,330 --> 00:21:51,570
Look at these tarts,
both raspberry and strawberry.
360
00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:54,570
Yep. You see. you don't need the
language, you just point.
361
00:21:54,570 --> 00:21:56,130
Le finger.
362
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:58,450
Le thank you, and voila.
363
00:22:02,210 --> 00:22:03,930
Merci.
364
00:22:03,930 --> 00:22:05,730
Bye. Au revoir.
365
00:22:05,730 --> 00:22:07,090
Merci beaucoup, au revoir.
366
00:22:10,410 --> 00:22:11,410
Right.
367
00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:15,090
What?
368
00:22:19,010 --> 00:22:20,770
Le film? Yeah, film. Hello.
369
00:22:21,850 --> 00:22:23,770
Do you want to come
on a picnic with me?
370
00:22:23,770 --> 00:22:25,690
A bientot. A bientot.
371
00:22:27,130 --> 00:22:30,370
See you soon! Yeah, see you soon!
Very good! Tres bien!
372
00:22:34,050 --> 00:22:35,850
Right, wonder if they
do cooked meat?
373
00:22:37,570 --> 00:22:39,370
Jambon.
374
00:22:40,730 --> 00:22:43,890
I love the fact that you can buy
your meat and your wine in the
375
00:22:43,890 --> 00:22:45,450
same shop. Now, that's handy.
376
00:22:45,450 --> 00:22:47,570
Rose. Oui. Une. Une. Mm-hm.
377
00:22:50,690 --> 00:22:52,810
Thank you, au revoir!
Bonne journee.
378
00:22:55,050 --> 00:22:56,130
Voila.
379
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,680
I'm on a river cruise, sailing down
the Rhone from Burgundy to Provence.
380
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,960
I've got my perfect picnic,
381
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480
now all I need is to find
the perfect place to have it.
382
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Somewhere relaxing...
383
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,280
ENGINE STUTTERS
384
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,920
With the... With the peddle.
385
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,040
I said somewhere relaxing!
386
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,360
On the banks of the Rhone
will do just fine.
387
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,760
This is what I've
been dreaming about for years.
388
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,120
I've even bought a blanket.
389
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,120
This is it. Perfect solitude.
390
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,440
LAWN MOWER WHIRS
391
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,680
Oh, flipping Norah!
392
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,560
It wasn't like this in the '70s.
393
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,800
There's that much noise going
on around me right now,
394
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,480
I can't even hear myself think,
395
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,200
never mind sit here and have
a peaceful picnic.
396
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,520
Oh, no, corkscrew.
397
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,000
Ah, merci beaucoup.
Profitez-en.
398
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Thank you.
399
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,360
Fantastic.
400
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,760
Damn, I haven't got a glass.
401
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,320
Ah, sod it.
402
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Oh, now I've just been bitten
by something.
403
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960
Now I've got ants. Great.
404
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,640
They're after me strawberry tart,
I just know they are.
405
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,360
I don't believe it,
there's a flaming train as well!
406
00:24:36,360 --> 00:24:38,000
Get me out of here!
407
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,680
I've even got a wet backside.
408
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,400
Oh, you don't believe that, do ya?
409
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:48,400
I dunno, maybe it was just quieter
in the '70s when they shot that ad.
410
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,840
I should've just stayed on the boat.
411
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,240
MAN WHISTLES
412
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,920
Actual facts about river cruising
coming up,
413
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,360
the average river cruise lasts
seven days
414
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,080
and costs around £1,400 per person.
415
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,440
There's no sea sickness
on a river cruise,
416
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,520
you drink fantastic wine,
eat fabulous food,
417
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,000
and there are great
relaxing opportunities.
418
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:38,000
Hello, how are you?
419
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,200
This is us going down in a lock.
420
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,640
I'll take you up onto
the next level.
421
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,000
That's the lock there.
422
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,640
And then we're in this
amazing...whooo.
423
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,520
We're saying goodbye to the sun
424
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,160
Men would like this trip,
425
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,840
it's very much, get on board
and relax.
426
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,400
Hello. Hello, Jane, how's things?
427
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,600
Very well, how are you? I'm good.
428
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800
Oh, you've got your posh voice on.
Oh, yes.
429
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,760
Ey-up, he dun't talk
like that normally.
430
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Yeah, don't worry
about me getting wet.
431
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,560
From Viviers, we're travelling
further down the Rhone,
432
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,040
past Orange, Chateauneuf du Pape -
433
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,720
an actual place not just a wine,
who knew?
434
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,000
Don't answer that.
435
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,400
And on towards Avignon.
436
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,880
I could have gone and looked round
another lovely French town today,
437
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,880
but the dishy captain's
got me all fired up.
438
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,080
He's told me about the famous
Pont du Garde,
439
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,040
which sounds amazing and apparently
best seen from the air.
440
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,480
As it's 60 miles away
and an early start,
441
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,200
I'm spending the night
in a hotel in Uzes,
442
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,600
so I get to take off in time.
443
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,680
It's midnight now,
444
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,320
I've gotta be up
in four and a half hours,
445
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,080
cos I'm going on a hot-air balloon
ride
446
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,440
I'm really looking forward to it,
447
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,440
but I'm scared and I'm excited.
448
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,440
I can't wait.
449
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600
LOUD ALARM GOES OFF
450
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,960
I can't believe it, I've never been
up this early in me entire life.
451
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,360
But you know what they say -
452
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,560
the early bird catches the balloon.
453
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Bonjour, Jean. Hello. Bonjour.
Comment allez-vous?
454
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,120
Fine, thank you. Oh, thank goodness
you speak English.
455
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,960
A little. A little. Un peu.
Un peu, ouais.
456
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,000
Yeah, me too, me too.
457
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,440
It's gonna be exciting?
I hope so.
458
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,240
It's mahoosive! It's massive!
459
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,800
You could have a wedding in there.
460
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,000
It's like a marquee.
461
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,960
Yes. That little red balloon
is a vital part
462
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,600
of our pre-flight checks.
463
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,160
It's going tell us which way
the wind is blowing.
464
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,280
That's perfect. That's good?
465
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,880
Yeah, that's a good direction.
The Pont du Gard is over there.
466
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,440
The Pont du Gard? Yeah, so we need
that direction there, you see?
467
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,440
Oui. The Pont du Garde
is an ancient Roman aqueduct,
468
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,200
built almost 2,000 years ago and
today is one of France's
469
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,160
most loved landmarks.
470
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,320
You wonder why that
doesn't just go - whoosh.
471
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,680
You know what I mean?
472
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:45,040
WHOOSHING
Up! It's a bit noisy.
473
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,240
It is very noisy.
474
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,640
SHE SHRIEKS
475
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,520
Joseph Montgolfier
was there in 1782,
476
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,360
and invented the hot-air balloon
just near here. Wow.
477
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,000
LOUD WHOOSH
478
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Bye. Au Revoir. A bientot.
479
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,600
SHE SHRIEKS
480
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,640
Ah, it's so fabulous,
look at this. It's so fantastic.
481
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,400
It's peaceful
when it's not doing that.
482
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,760
Ah, it's fabulous. Fa-bu-lous!
483
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,880
It's breathtaking.
484
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,400
This is the Pont du Gard.
Pont du Gard? Ah.
485
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,040
Built by the Roman, 64 AC.
486
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,320
And the idea was to bring
the water from Uzes 50km
487
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,880
to the Nimes. Unfortunately this is
as close as we're going to get,
488
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,480
the wind's changed direction
and it's taking us away
489
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,200
from the Pont du Gard,
but these views are breathtaking.
490
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,920
I'm just so lucky to be able
to experience things like this.
491
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,840
We're seeing the world.
492
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,920
Hello, horsey, the cheval.
493
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,960
If I'd never started cruising again,
494
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,360
I wouldn't have been able
to do this.
495
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,800
What goes up though must come down,
496
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,640
and it's time for us to come
back to earth.
497
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:43,680
WHOOSHING
Ahh!
498
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,840
SHE SHRIEKS AND LAUGHS
499
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,640
Did you enjoy it?
I loved it, Jean. Good.
500
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,360
There's no elegant way of doing
this, is there?
501
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,640
I love the South of France.
502
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,640
I'm on my way back from my amazing
early morning balloon flight
503
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,120
to rejoin the boat in Avignon.
504
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,600
But there's one more thing I want
to do before we get there.
505
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,320
What are you reading about?
I'm reading about honey.
506
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,320
Haute Provence is honey country,
507
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,160
it's an essential ingredient
of the region's celebrated
508
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,800
home-made nougat.
509
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,320
Bit of nugget.
510
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,760
We've found Sandrine,
a local beekeeper,
511
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,360
she's going to tell me everything
I need to know about honey.
512
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,360
Hello. Bonjour. Hello.
513
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,720
Sandrine? Yes. I'm Jane. Jane?
514
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,600
Hello... Hello, nice to meet you.
And you.
515
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,640
So tell me about your honey.
516
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,720
They're all different varieties,
cos different flowers
517
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,480
in the night here.
518
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Bees love flowers.
519
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:25,040
Is it true that the world
would stop without bees?
520
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,280
Mm, yes, I think. Yeah?
Yes, I think.
521
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,520
Could we taste? Can we taste some
honey? Yes, yes. Yay!
522
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,160
Sandrine's taking me straight
to the source.
523
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,720
Forget the stuff in jars,
we're heading to the hives
524
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,560
and she's promised me a nice hat to
wear to meet the bees. Aw.
525
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,400
A beautiful hat.
That's nice. Very nice.
526
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,280
Bit smoking.
527
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,960
Ah, it's not barbecue.
No, unfortunately.
528
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,480
SHE COUGHS
529
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,720
You might wonder what this has
got to do with cruising.
530
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Well, because you've always got
loads of time on river cruises,
531
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,400
you can really explore and get under
the skin of the country.
532
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,520
It's why I love them.
533
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,560
How do they know
which is their hive?
534
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,880
She knows exactly where is hive
535
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,080
in relation with the sun.
536
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,960
Right. When she comes back,
she says, "Look me,
537
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,840
"there is beautiful,
beautiful flowers."
538
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,040
And she make a... Little dance?
..circle. Yeah? Yes.
539
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,600
Marvellous. OK.
540
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,320
So inside it's a big family.
541
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,560
Oh, wow.
It's like all these little workers
542
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,080
all humming away.
543
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,840
This is amazing.
544
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,320
I'm so thrilled I've done this.
545
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Just shake them off.
546
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,280
Now they're gonna be mad, cos we
just nicked all their hard work.
547
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,160
Anywhere? Anywhere.
548
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,920
Look at that.
549
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,520
That really tastes so good.
550
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Mm.
551
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,800
C'est tres bon comme ca.
552
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,640
I wish you could taste this.
553
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,120
Because it's so good, so good.
554
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:39,520
Back on the boat, and it's
the final leg of my journey,
555
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,760
a 50km meander from Avignon
to a town called Arles.
556
00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:51,040
I'll tell you what, I've loved the
informal formality of this cruise,
557
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,640
and the scenery.
558
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,600
Well, you only get a view like this
while you have your dinner
559
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,440
when you're on a boat like this.
560
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,240
I'm on a river cruise.
My fascinating French adventure
561
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:21,000
has taken me down the Rhone to
Provence, in the South of France.
562
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,760
On my final day,
I'm heading to the Camargue,
563
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,120
which is a French national park
564
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,320
somewhere between Arles
and the Mediterranean,
565
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,640
it's got loads of wildlife,
including cattle, birds,
566
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,240
flamingos, horses and...
567
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:42,480
Cowboys. Yes! Cowboys!
568
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:47,000
That's right, that's what I said -
cowboys!
569
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,240
I would never ever think cowboys
in South of France.
570
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,720
This has been a nice little surprise
pour moi.
571
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,560
These French cowboys have been
around for over 100 years,
572
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,720
they do the same as cowboys in
America - round up the livestock.
573
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,200
What's not to love? Hey, hey?
574
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,600
See that's the shot you want,
isn't it?
575
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,080
With the hair blowing
in the breeze.
576
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,640
Hello, bonjour. Bonjour.
577
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,160
Bonjour. Which is the gentle horse?
Bonjour.
578
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,640
Aww, look at this. Hello.
579
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,640
Impetus. Impetus.
Impetus, je m'appelle Jane, Impetus.
580
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Are you real cowboys?
581
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,640
Non, pas cowboys, gardiens.
Guardians?
582
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,800
What's the difference between
a cowboy and a guardian?
583
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,120
On appelle en France - le gardien,
en Amerique - le cowboy.
584
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,840
Ah, so it's the same, but different.
585
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Mais apres, le travail
c'est le meme.
586
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:51,600
Yeah.
587
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,680
Look at me, I just need the wind
now.
588
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,360
I'm in a safe pair of stirrups
with Paul and Vincent -
589
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,480
these guys were born in the saddle.
590
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,600
Bye, it's been lovely knowing ya.
591
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,880
Bye.
592
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,240
The ranch covers over 600
hectares, it's mahoosive,
593
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:16,960
which means I get a lot of time
594
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,920
being the filling
in a cowboy sandwich.
595
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,840
French flamants rose.
596
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,800
Flamants rose? Oui.
597
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,080
Cos they're pink? Pink, yeah.
598
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,280
How... Am I OK?
599
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,960
Good. Good.
600
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,960
Are you married? Yeah.
Course you are.
601
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,400
Well, you can't blame me for asking.
602
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,760
I'm like a professional now,
603
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,120
I've got quite confident on a horse.
604
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,560
And I feel as if I could gallop off
into the... I'm not going to,
605
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,720
but I feel as if I could gallop
off into the wind.
606
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,280
But I've had some great teachers
here.
607
00:37:54,280 --> 00:38:00,720
One's single, one's married,
one's 28, one's a lot older.
608
00:38:00,720 --> 00:38:02,880
And I've had a great time. Oh, yeah.
609
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,760
The High Chaparral beckons.
610
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,160
If they do a remake of that,
I'm in it.
611
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,160
Turns out cowboys and horses
612
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,680
aren't the only Wild West-ish thing
about this place.
613
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,960
Bonjour, monsieur. Hello.
614
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,960
So all aboard!
615
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,920
Feels like we're on safari.
616
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,760
See, once again, it's noisy.
617
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,000
Antoine's promised me he's taking me
somewhere more peaceful.
618
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,800
Merci. Whoa, that's a long way down.
Attention.
619
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,560
Look, lot of... Oh, lots of them.
620
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:57,360
Do you...regardes...every day?
621
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:03,920
Yes. The flamingo - yes.
Every day? Every day. Wow.
622
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,840
Finally, I've found peace in France,
623
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,040
and it's absolutely beautiful.
624
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,480
What a perfect way to end
my journey down the Rhone.
625
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,960
The whole week's been fantastique.
626
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,480
Now, where exactly am I?
627
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:41,160
# I was lost in France
628
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,640
# In the fields
the birds were singing
629
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,040
# I was lost in France
630
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,440
# And the day was just beginning
631
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,320
# As I stood there
in the morning rain
632
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,880
# I had a feeling I can't explain
633
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,320
# I was lost in France
634
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,480
# In love
635
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,280
# I was lost in France
636
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,120
# In the street a band was playing
637
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:22,120
# And the crowd all dance
638
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,720
# Didn't catch what they were saying
639
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:31,000
# When I looked up
he was standing there
640
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,920
# I knew I shouldn't
641
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,720
# But I didn't care
642
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:38,640
# I was lost in France
643
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,640
# In love
644
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,560
# Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la dance
645
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,160
# Ooh-la-la-la dancing
646
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,440
# Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la dance
647
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,240
# Ooh-la-la-la dancing
648
00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:00,800
# And I looked round for a telephone
649
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,520
# To say, "Baby I won't be home"
650
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:11,040
# I was lost in France in love
651
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,680
# Ooh-la-la-la, ooh-la-la-la dance
652
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,440
# Ooh la-la-la dancing... #
653
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,840
SHE GROANS
654
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,520
What? What?
655
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:40,120
This time, I'm in pursuit
of purest Portugal...
656
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,040
Wow, look at this place.
It's amazing.
657
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,520
..taking a trip up
the Stairway to Heaven...
658
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,320
It's beautiful, innit?
659
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,040
I wonder if they'd mind if
I put my feet in that fountain.
660
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,320
..sizzling over
the Spanish border...
661
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,720
I'm sorry but there's nothing
more attractive than a doctor
662
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:56,560
who can play guitar and sing.
663
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:57,960
That's pretty hot!
664
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,440
..and sinking me teeth
into luscious Lisbon.
665
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:01,880
Look at this!
666
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:03,600
We're in tart heaven.
667
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,840
Do you fancy eight days
in a Portuguese paradise?
668
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,280
Hop on board with me.
669
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,800
Now, this stunner is going to
give us a cruise to remember!
670
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,360
Vamos!
671
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,920
CHUCKLING
672
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:21,000
Welcome to the port of Porto
in Portugal.
673
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,520
I do like it when they make things
easy to remember.
674
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,880
It's the starting point of
our eight-day cruise
675
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:27,360
along the River Douro.
676
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,200
But it has at least
one other claim to fame.
677
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,600
Porto is the second-largest
city in Portugal.
678
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,400
It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
679
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:41,200
It's also known as the
capital of the north, but we know
680
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,760
that there's only one capital of
the north and it's not here, is it?
681
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,000
So, let's call it by its other name,
682
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,960
which is the City of Bridges.
683
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,320
And I can see why.
684
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,120
There's six of 'em in all,
685
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,040
making crossing the Douro a doddle.
686
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,280
The Maria Pia Bridge
was designed by Gustave Eiffel,
687
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,520
who went on to create a
great big tower in Paris.
688
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,880
Can't think what that one's called!
689
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,520
Anyway, I've arrived early,
690
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,640
so I can fit in a whistle-stop tour
of the city before we sail.
691
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,720
If you're an architectural buff,
692
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:16,440
then Porto is filled with
some beautiful Baroque buildings.
693
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160
I fancy something
a bit more neo-Gothic
694
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,960
with some wizardry connections.
695
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:25,480
This is the world renowned
Livraria Lello bookshop.
696
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,720
Apparently, it inspired one of
our greatest authors, JK Rowling,
697
00:43:29,720 --> 00:43:32,000
who used to work in Porto
as a teacher.
698
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,160
Legend has it,
699
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,680
she jotted down her early ideas
for Harry Potter around here.
700
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,440
But she had to get in first.
701
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,840
The queues are unbelievable,
and it's only just gone ten o'clock.
702
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,560
Don't bother turning up on spec -
703
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,360
you need a ticket just to
get through the door.
704
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,080
One little tip -
705
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,880
get your voucher online
before you get here.
706
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,200
If you're at the back of the queue
and you get to the front,
707
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,240
you will not get in without that.
708
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:58,720
So, that's a little tip.
Get that before you come.
709
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,080
Wow!
710
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:11,560
You can so see where JK Rowling
got her inspiration from.
711
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,600
You just walk in and
you actually feel like
712
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,560
you're in a Harry Potter film.
713
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,640
The Livraria Lello was started
by two brother-in-laws
714
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,360
who both had a burning passion
for books.
715
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,840
No surprises there. The whole place
groans under the weight of them,
716
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,480
from Portuguese literature
717
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,200
to this 18,000-year-old
first edition.
718
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,920
Hope the phrase books
don't cost as much.
719
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,400
You know that five euros
that you've just spent on that?
720
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,280
If you buy a book,
you get it refunded.
721
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,000
So it's a win-win really, isn't it?
722
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,080
English to Portuguese.
723
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:55,000
That's what I need. I could do with
learning just a few phrases.
724
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,720
Don't have to be bilingual,
725
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,040
just be trialling one,
726
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,280
and try a little bit.
727
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,320
Now, it may be a little early
in the day,
728
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:06,320
but I can't visit this city without
sampling the drink named after it -
729
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,120
port. That vino with
a dash of arid spirit
730
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,640
that we all love to slurp at
Christmas with a big slab of cheese
731
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,640
was first made here,
over three centuries ago.
732
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,280
But there's something about
the brand names that sound,
733
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,240
I don't know, homely.
734
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:26,120
We've got Coleburn's, we've got
Osborne's, we've got Taylor's,
735
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,800
we've got Sanderson's.
736
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,280
And I don't know about you,
737
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,480
but they don't sound
very Portuguese to me.
738
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,840
So let's go and find out why
they sound so very British.
739
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,280
I've booked myself on a guided tour
of Taylor's,
740
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,040
one of the oldest port houses,
741
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,160
founded here 327 years ago.
742
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,320
A perfect day out
for people like me,
743
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,480
who want to do more than just drink.
744
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,960
OK, you can stop sniggering.
745
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,880
My guide, Ana,
is showing me around.
746
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,240
Why have the British got
such a taste for port?
747
00:45:57,240 --> 00:45:58,880
Cos we love port.
748
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,600
England and France
were in constant wars.
749
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:07,240
Mm. And British started to discover
the wines coming from
750
00:46:07,240 --> 00:46:11,680
the Douro Valley region,
full-bodied wines,
751
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,320
and establishing the houses
that we know today.
752
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,960
So all port is made here
in Portugal?
753
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,760
Yes. Yes. Ooh.
Yes, yes. By law, yes, it is.
754
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,600
And on this valley?
On the Douro Valley region, yes.
755
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,160
It is really a unique region
in the world,
756
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,440
with a specific climate,
757
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,680
native grapes
coming from the region also,
758
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,360
and an amazing scenery.
759
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,240
OK, that's the history
and geography sorted.
760
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,440
Now for the really important bit.
761
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:47,680
Oooh!
762
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,120
It is so good. So smooth.
763
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,760
Fills your mouth. It does.
There's all sorts going off.
764
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,280
It's dancin' across me tongue.
765
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,320
Layers and layers of...
There is. ..complexity.
766
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,680
I might finish this one.
767
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,520
In fact, leave the bottle.
768
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,560
Do you know,
I've always loved port.
769
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,280
And I have had a blast,
770
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,640
and I shall be taking a couple
of bottles of this home.
771
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,480
Mainly in my stomach, methinks.
772
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,600
Mm!
773
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,200
Right, suitably fortified,
I'm off to find my boat.
774
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,400
Now, this time,
I'm cruising down a river.
775
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,880
If you're someone who is
worried about waves,
776
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,680
concerned about a current
or is scared of being sea sick,
777
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,480
then you can't go wrong
with a river cruise.
778
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:38,800
It's brilliant.
779
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,880
I've done river cruises
all over mainland Europe,
780
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,920
but never in Portugal - until today.
781
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,200
This is the beautiful
Emerald Radiance.
782
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,040
She's got 46 suites.
783
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,080
And I know that's no mega ship,
but size isn't everything.
784
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,240
Well, not in this case, anyway.
785
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:57,440
She's barely 12 months old,
786
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,760
which is like
brand-spanking-new, innit?
787
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,480
So, come on! Let's go!
Yeah-hee-hee!
788
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,560
Oh. Hi. Welcome aboard.
789
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,920
Oh, hello. Jane.
My pleasure. My name is Manuel.
790
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,200
I am your hotel manager.
Thank you, Manuel.
791
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,200
Welcome to Emerald Waterways,
Emerald Radiance, Portugal.
792
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,840
Oh, it's gorgeous. Thank you,
please. This way. Thank you.
793
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,280
This boat has everything
you'd expect on a seagoing vessel -
794
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:26,000
three levels housing a restaurant,
a bar and all your other
795
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,040
cruising essentials,
including a pool.
796
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,680
I'm sure I'll be sampling them all.
797
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,520
But, as ever,
I can't wait to inspect my cabin.
798
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,520
Ah!
799
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,040
Owner's suite. Yes!
800
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:51,760
Oh! Look at this! Oh, wow.
801
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:58,800
First thing, chuck my bag down,
take my shoes off.
802
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,360
Ah! Oh, it's proper shagpile carpet.
803
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,640
You can't beat a shagpile carpet
in hot weather.
804
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,880
It's very, very, very modern.
805
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:17,680
I don't think I've ever seen
a room as tastefully done as this.
806
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,600
It's just beautiful.
807
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,400
No shortage of mod cons either.
808
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,960
Coffee machine, iPad,
free bottle of champagne -
809
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,440
don't mind if I do -
810
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,360
and a lovely spacious loo.
811
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,720
Oh, let me just...
812
00:49:30,720 --> 00:49:33,440
Oh, let me just... Oh!
813
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,360
I know it's a beautiful,
beautiful ship,
814
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:43,320
but the room is so nice
that I could just literally
815
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,400
spend the whole time relaxing,
816
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,360
watching all those
gorgeous views go by.
817
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,760
Our cruise along this fabulous
river's about to begin.
818
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,240
From Porto, we follow it inland
to the historic city of Lamego.
819
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:02,120
We'll hop over the border into Spain
to visit Salamanca,
820
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,560
then rejoin the Douro to head to
the riverside town of Pocinho.
821
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,000
Then there's a stop off at Regua,
before returning to Porto,
822
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,960
where we'll board a train to
the country's capital, Lisbon.
823
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,280
In Portuguese, the Rio Douro
means "River of gold".
824
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,400
So let's hope we discover some
real treasures on our way.
825
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,920
Night-time sailing isn't allowed
on the Douro,
826
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,480
which means departures
are first thing in the morning -
827
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,600
so early, even the sparrows
are still snoozing.
828
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,440
Hang on!
829
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:42,240
What?
830
00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:44,240
It's 6.30,
it's time for sail away.
831
00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:46,480
No, it's not. Sail away yourself.
832
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,120
I never was good in the mornings -
833
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:53,520
especially after a few
glasses of port.
834
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:57,440
Coming up next, I lug my legs up
this stunning staircase...
835
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,280
498, 499...
I've lost count now!
836
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,440
..and have a brush
with a lovely cockerel.
837
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,200
Look at that! Got a plumage.
838
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,840
SHE LAUGHS
839
00:51:18,420 --> 00:51:21,660
This is the time
when I've got my camera on a stick.
840
00:51:21,660 --> 00:51:26,180
I'm going to see the ship
now for the first time, with you.
841
00:51:26,180 --> 00:51:28,060
SHE HUMS
842
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:32,540
This ship really is
the height of modern elegance.
843
00:51:32,540 --> 00:51:34,340
It's just beautiful, innit?
844
00:51:34,340 --> 00:51:37,380
Every angle you look at
looks really fabulous.
845
00:51:37,380 --> 00:51:39,660
Hi. Hi.
846
00:51:39,660 --> 00:51:42,820
Now, this is the dining room.
847
00:51:42,820 --> 00:51:44,740
You know, it's not like
a big mega-ship
848
00:51:44,740 --> 00:51:47,540
where there's, sometimes,
29 restaurants on them.
849
00:51:47,540 --> 00:51:51,420
This is the only one
and it is absolutely fabulous.
850
00:51:51,420 --> 00:51:52,820
Sorry, what is your name?
851
00:51:52,820 --> 00:51:54,260
Nuno.
852
00:51:54,260 --> 00:51:56,860
I am the head chef.
Nuno. Oh, you're the head chef.
853
00:51:56,860 --> 00:51:59,620
Yes. Hello, Nuno. Well, thank you
so much for looking after us.
854
00:51:59,620 --> 00:52:02,820
Thank you so much. I'm very,
very pleased to meet you.
855
00:52:02,820 --> 00:52:05,500
And you're the most important
person on the ship, let's be honest.
856
00:52:05,500 --> 00:52:06,580
Thank you so much.
857
00:52:06,580 --> 00:52:09,060
Lovely to meet you, Nuno.
Nice to meet you. Bye. Bye.
858
00:52:09,060 --> 00:52:12,500
Always pays to make friends
with the man who gives out the food.
859
00:52:12,500 --> 00:52:15,580
I like the fact that they've used
mirrors everywhere as well,
860
00:52:15,580 --> 00:52:17,340
so everything looks a lot bigger.
861
00:52:17,340 --> 00:52:20,260
There's a little sundeck out there,
where you can just nip out
862
00:52:20,260 --> 00:52:23,340
and have a cup of tea
or a glass of wine.
863
00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:27,540
I still can't get over...that.
864
00:52:27,540 --> 00:52:29,100
Lots of people waving.
865
00:52:31,380 --> 00:52:32,780
Oh, it's beautiful.
866
00:52:34,380 --> 00:52:36,540
That's a posh pool, innit?
867
00:52:36,540 --> 00:52:38,180
You know, I don't usually, erm...
868
00:52:38,180 --> 00:52:42,580
I don't usually go for
many pools on ships.
869
00:52:42,580 --> 00:52:48,700
But this one just looks
so inviting.
870
00:52:48,700 --> 00:52:54,700
I never thought I would say
ocean cruising would be beaten,
871
00:52:54,700 --> 00:52:57,100
but I'm getting there.
872
00:52:57,100 --> 00:53:03,780
You never tire of this
wonderful, wonderful view.
873
00:53:03,780 --> 00:53:08,260
It's fantastic. I love it!
I love my life!
874
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:14,100
There's a full day of this cruise
along the Douro
875
00:53:14,100 --> 00:53:16,580
before reaching our
first port of call.
876
00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:19,300
Once there,
I'll be doing some serious walking.
877
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:22,340
Best get some rest beforehand then.
878
00:53:22,340 --> 00:53:25,460
Oh, hello!
Welcome to me boudoir.
879
00:53:25,460 --> 00:53:30,060
I'm just checking that we're
going to Lamego tomorrow,
880
00:53:30,060 --> 00:53:32,260
which looks fantastic.
881
00:53:32,260 --> 00:53:34,180
It's got fabulous tiles.
882
00:53:34,180 --> 00:53:36,380
I mean, Portugal is well known
for its tiles,
883
00:53:36,380 --> 00:53:38,420
so I'm going to have a look at
some of those, cos you never know
884
00:53:38,420 --> 00:53:40,820
when you're going to change
your kitchen, do you now?
885
00:53:40,820 --> 00:53:43,140
So that's my trip tomorrow.
886
00:53:43,140 --> 00:53:46,140
I do hope you enjoy as much as I do.
887
00:53:46,140 --> 00:53:51,420
I cannot tell you how excited I am
about this amazing bed.
888
00:53:51,420 --> 00:53:52,580
I'll see ya tomorrow.
889
00:53:54,740 --> 00:53:57,100
Ah, this is great, innit?
890
00:53:57,100 --> 00:54:00,060
Think I'll need that button again
to get me up in the morning.
891
00:54:06,820 --> 00:54:08,540
Good morning!
892
00:54:08,540 --> 00:54:12,540
Or - as they say in Portugal -
bon dia!
893
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:14,340
Let's go to Lamego!
894
00:54:17,740 --> 00:54:19,940
One of the great things
about a river cruise
895
00:54:19,940 --> 00:54:23,660
is that you get to see places that
are off the normal tourist trail.
896
00:54:23,660 --> 00:54:25,660
Just like this hidden gem.
897
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:28,140
You know, I absolutely adore
898
00:54:28,140 --> 00:54:30,500
discovering somewhere
for the first time.
899
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:33,020
And Lamego is stunning.
900
00:54:34,140 --> 00:54:36,860
The first king of Portugal
was declared right here
901
00:54:36,860 --> 00:54:38,260
in the 12th century.
902
00:54:38,260 --> 00:54:39,980
Right here. Well, not here.
903
00:54:39,980 --> 00:54:42,020
I mean, here in Lamego.
904
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:44,860
And we all love a bit of royalty,
don't we?
905
00:54:44,860 --> 00:54:48,300
Almost as much as us Yorkshire girls
love a good step.
906
00:54:48,300 --> 00:54:50,500
That's step singular, by the way!
907
00:54:50,500 --> 00:54:53,140
Hello, fellow passengers.
How are you doing?
908
00:54:53,140 --> 00:54:56,700
Nice to see ya. Nice to see you.
Have you walked up this yet? No.
909
00:54:56,700 --> 00:54:58,060
No, come down it.
910
00:54:58,060 --> 00:54:59,380
How come I've got t' bottom?
911
00:54:59,380 --> 00:55:01,580
How come they've dropped me off
at the bottom
912
00:55:01,580 --> 00:55:03,820
cos I'm supposed to go up 'em?
Is there a stairlift?
913
00:55:03,820 --> 00:55:06,980
No. No, there's nothing there.
914
00:55:06,980 --> 00:55:09,460
Now this was built in the 1700s,
915
00:55:09,460 --> 00:55:13,900
and right at the top is the chapel
of Our Lady's Remedies.
916
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:16,420
686 steps later,
917
00:55:16,420 --> 00:55:19,780
I hope there's a good foot remedy
for our lady 'ere
918
00:55:19,780 --> 00:55:22,380
because, let's be honest,
I'm gonna need one!
919
00:55:22,380 --> 00:55:23,820
Right. How many?
920
00:55:23,820 --> 00:55:25,900
One, two, three, four, five...
921
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:29,660
One of the designers credited with
this masterpiece is Nicolau Nasoni.
922
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:32,060
Remember him cos
he'll be cropping up later.
923
00:55:32,060 --> 00:55:34,220
Now, this is the place
to ask for a cure
924
00:55:34,220 --> 00:55:35,900
if you or someone you know is sick.
925
00:55:35,900 --> 00:55:38,260
52, 53, 54...
926
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:42,500
Now, apparently, if you're
very religious or pious,
927
00:55:42,500 --> 00:55:44,700
you do this on your knees.
928
00:55:44,700 --> 00:55:48,140
Now, I'm no angel,
but I ain't been that bad.
929
00:55:48,140 --> 00:55:50,980
54, 55, 56, 57...
930
00:55:50,980 --> 00:55:53,540
498, 499,
931
00:55:53,540 --> 00:55:59,940
500, 501, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7...
932
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:01,740
508.
933
00:56:01,740 --> 00:56:03,300
Now, everywhere you go...
934
00:56:03,300 --> 00:56:05,140
BREATHLESSLY: Just hang on a minute.
935
00:56:05,140 --> 00:56:10,140
Everywhere you go here,
you see these beautiful tiles.
936
00:56:10,140 --> 00:56:12,180
Blue and white tiles called azu...
937
00:56:12,180 --> 00:56:13,580
Azul...
SHE LAUGHS
938
00:56:14,620 --> 00:56:16,540
What is it called again?
939
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:19,100
Azulejos. OK.
940
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:22,660
You see these beautiful tiles
called azulejos.
941
00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:24,860
They are absolutely stunning,
942
00:56:24,860 --> 00:56:28,420
and every single time you see this
on the way up,
943
00:56:28,420 --> 00:56:31,820
it's all dedicated
to Our Lady of Remedies.
944
00:56:31,820 --> 00:56:34,980
They are really stunning.
945
00:56:34,980 --> 00:56:39,940
There's a challenge to find a tile
depicting an angel with six toes.
946
00:56:39,940 --> 00:56:43,020
After all this climbing, I think
I've found a heartbeat in mine.
947
00:56:43,020 --> 00:56:45,700
600... I've lost count now.
948
00:56:45,700 --> 00:56:48,100
I just know there's a lot of steps.
949
00:56:48,100 --> 00:56:50,780
But look at this. Look at it!
950
00:56:50,780 --> 00:56:52,500
It is worth it.
951
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:55,180
This is the pay-off.
952
00:56:55,180 --> 00:56:56,300
It is stunning.
953
00:56:57,860 --> 00:56:59,460
It's beautiful, innit?
954
00:56:59,460 --> 00:57:01,700
It's definitely worth that climb.
955
00:57:01,700 --> 00:57:04,900
I didn't think so halfway up,
but now I'm here
956
00:57:04,900 --> 00:57:09,140
and I can see how absolutely
extraordinary this is...
957
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:14,420
..it's worth every step.
958
00:57:14,420 --> 00:57:16,100
Look!
959
00:57:16,100 --> 00:57:18,820
I wonder if they'd mind
if I put my feet in that fountain.
960
00:57:24,900 --> 00:57:28,180
Do you know, that trip's left me
feeling all inspired.
961
00:57:28,180 --> 00:57:30,060
The ship runs a
tile painting workshop,
962
00:57:30,060 --> 00:57:31,780
so I've put my name down.
963
00:57:31,780 --> 00:57:33,540
Are you any good at painting?
964
00:57:33,540 --> 00:57:35,380
Absolutely not. No. Good. Are you?
965
00:57:35,380 --> 00:57:39,260
No. Rubbish. Finger painting.
I know. I can't even do that.
966
00:57:39,260 --> 00:57:41,500
The tiles are a Spanish import.
967
00:57:41,500 --> 00:57:45,180
Originating in Seville, they hopped
over the border in the 1500s
968
00:57:45,180 --> 00:57:47,700
and have been a Portuguese tradition
ever since.
969
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:50,380
We do grouting, they do painting.
970
00:57:50,380 --> 00:57:52,900
What tips have you got
for us 'ere, Joyce?
971
00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:54,700
For doing this? Yeah.
972
00:57:54,700 --> 00:57:55,860
A steady hand.
973
00:57:55,860 --> 00:57:58,020
A steady hand.
SHE LAUGHS
974
00:57:58,020 --> 00:57:59,500
Mine don't look a bit like this.
975
00:57:59,500 --> 00:58:01,580
It will do when it's fired. Yeah.
976
00:58:01,580 --> 00:58:04,500
So it doesn't matter if you put your
own interpretation on, does it?
977
00:58:04,500 --> 00:58:07,420
No. As I say, when it's fired,
it will be a lot better. Will it?
978
00:58:07,420 --> 00:58:09,860
Yeah, I'm sure it will.
Well, you never know, do you?
979
00:58:09,860 --> 00:58:11,020
You never know.
980
00:58:11,020 --> 00:58:13,260
We've got started on our
kitchen tiles, haven't we?
981
00:58:13,260 --> 00:58:16,180
We have, love, yeah.
Is blue and white your kitchen?
982
00:58:16,180 --> 00:58:18,460
Well, no, but it will be. You know?
THEY LAUGH
983
00:58:18,460 --> 00:58:20,460
I might just change it.
984
00:58:20,460 --> 00:58:22,940
And if I do, this will be
the perfect resting place
985
00:58:22,940 --> 00:58:24,740
for me tea pot.
986
00:58:24,740 --> 00:58:27,620
I'm really enjoying this.
SHE LAUGHS
987
00:58:27,620 --> 00:58:28,900
Absolutely.
988
00:58:28,900 --> 00:58:32,420
It's like being back at school.
It's fantastic, innit?
989
00:58:32,420 --> 00:58:35,420
Look at that,
it's a very proud cockerel, mine.
990
00:58:35,420 --> 00:58:37,060
It's got a plumage.
991
00:58:37,060 --> 00:58:39,580
SHE LAUGHS
992
00:58:39,580 --> 00:58:42,540
The cockerel we're painting
is the Barcelos rooster -
993
00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:44,460
Portuguese symbol of good luck.
994
00:58:44,460 --> 00:58:46,260
You'll find it everywhere here,
995
00:58:46,260 --> 00:58:48,540
from tea towels to, well, tiles!
996
00:58:48,540 --> 00:58:51,540
Think I've done a really
good job there. Don't you?
997
00:58:51,540 --> 00:58:52,900
No, actually, that's mine.
998
00:58:52,900 --> 00:58:54,500
It's not great, is it?
999
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:56,780
THEY LAUGH
1000
00:58:56,780 --> 00:58:58,940
I'm very proud.
1001
00:58:58,940 --> 00:59:01,540
My teacher said it's quite good.
1002
00:59:01,540 --> 00:59:06,820
Thank you. Shall I give you that
now? Yes. Thank you very much. Yeah.
1003
00:59:06,820 --> 00:59:09,260
THEY LAUGH
1004
00:59:12,420 --> 00:59:16,620
Well, thanks for watching my new
series, Tiling With Jane McDonald.
1005
00:59:16,620 --> 00:59:18,260
You've all been wonderful.
1006
00:59:18,260 --> 00:59:21,780
Now, I'm due to go
to Salamanca tomorrow.
1007
00:59:21,780 --> 00:59:23,580
Salamanca, isn't that...?
1008
00:59:23,580 --> 00:59:25,500
Isn't that a Bond villain? Is it?
1009
00:59:25,500 --> 00:59:28,740
No, that's Scaramanga.
Scaramanga, isn't it?
1010
00:59:28,740 --> 00:59:31,540
Oh, I prefer Goldfinger anyway.
1011
00:59:31,540 --> 00:59:35,940
Erm... But tonight,
I've got a licence to chill.
1012
00:59:40,060 --> 00:59:43,980
Good morning, Captain. How are you?
Good morning. How are you?
1013
00:59:43,980 --> 00:59:45,980
Very well. See you later.
1014
00:59:45,980 --> 00:59:49,260
It's a two and a half hour drive
from the port to Salamanca,
1015
00:59:49,260 --> 00:59:51,900
so it's wise to have a full English
before setting off.
1016
00:59:53,220 --> 00:59:55,100
And be prepared for busy streets.
1017
00:59:55,100 --> 00:59:56,700
It's a lively place,
1018
00:59:56,700 --> 00:59:59,140
as it's home to around
30,000 students,
1019
00:59:59,140 --> 01:00:01,340
as well as all us tourists.
1020
01:00:01,340 --> 01:00:04,020
I've booked myself
on a guided city tour -
1021
01:00:04,020 --> 01:00:06,740
always useful when you
don't speak the language.
1022
01:00:06,740 --> 01:00:09,500
And a great way of getting to
know your fellow passengers.
1023
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:12,820
GUITAR PLAYS
1024
01:00:12,820 --> 01:00:16,020
I actually love being
on a group tour
1025
01:00:16,020 --> 01:00:19,660
because you're with friends that
you've met over a drink or a meal
1026
01:00:19,660 --> 01:00:22,500
and you're all sort of learning
a different thing together,
1027
01:00:22,500 --> 01:00:24,100
so you're all, like, bonded,
1028
01:00:24,100 --> 01:00:26,380
and you're all in the same boat.
Pardon the pun.
1029
01:00:26,380 --> 01:00:28,980
Now we're going to go the direction
1030
01:00:28,980 --> 01:00:31,540
to the old headquarters
of the university.
1031
01:00:31,540 --> 01:00:34,980
And there we must find
the most famous frog
1032
01:00:34,980 --> 01:00:36,900
of the city of Salamanca.
1033
01:00:36,900 --> 01:00:40,380
We don't need to kiss it,
only find it.
1034
01:00:40,380 --> 01:00:43,660
A frog means long life,
it means good luck,
1035
01:00:43,660 --> 01:00:46,540
it means you're gonna
pass your exams.
1036
01:00:46,540 --> 01:00:48,060
Well, two out of three ain't bad.
1037
01:00:48,060 --> 01:00:52,300
I could do with finding a frog but I
can't find a flippin' frog anywhere.
1038
01:00:52,300 --> 01:00:54,660
It's somewhere on this.
1039
01:00:54,660 --> 01:00:57,460
You see the first floor,
on the first floor,
1040
01:00:57,460 --> 01:00:59,620
on the right column,
the big right column.
1041
01:00:59,620 --> 01:01:01,300
Ah, there it is!
1042
01:01:01,300 --> 01:01:05,180
And again. One, two, three, there.
Yay!
1043
01:01:07,060 --> 01:01:09,860
Little did you think you'd spend
your day frog-hunting.
1044
01:01:09,860 --> 01:01:12,140
No, I never did.
Never in a million years.
1045
01:01:12,140 --> 01:01:14,740
And I didn't realise it was such
a lucky symbol either.
1046
01:01:14,740 --> 01:01:16,300
Or that it was so small.
1047
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:18,700
I know! I'm glad we found it.
CHUCKLING: Yes.
1048
01:01:21,340 --> 01:01:24,140
Not every couple
likes the same things.
1049
01:01:24,140 --> 01:01:26,780
When you're on an
organised tour like this,
1050
01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:29,180
if your wife or your husband
or your partner
1051
01:01:29,180 --> 01:01:31,660
wants to stay on the ship
and do what they want to do,
1052
01:01:31,660 --> 01:01:33,260
then this is the perfect thing.
1053
01:01:33,260 --> 01:01:36,100
You can come and join a group
like this, so you're never alone,
1054
01:01:36,100 --> 01:01:38,260
but you're seeing everything
that you want to see
1055
01:01:38,260 --> 01:01:39,660
and then nobody's upset.
1056
01:01:39,660 --> 01:01:42,900
You have the old cathedral.
The Romanesque cathedral.
1057
01:01:42,900 --> 01:01:45,060
Constructed in the 12th century.
1058
01:01:51,100 --> 01:01:53,020
In the centre of Salamanca,
1059
01:01:53,020 --> 01:01:55,500
there are two huge cathedrals
side by side.
1060
01:01:56,540 --> 01:01:59,260
This was built in the 1200s.
1061
01:01:59,260 --> 01:02:03,820
And, in the 1500s,
it was so rich was this place,
1062
01:02:03,820 --> 01:02:07,220
that they built the massive,
massive cathedral next door.
1063
01:02:07,220 --> 01:02:09,420
And they were going to
knock this down,
1064
01:02:09,420 --> 01:02:11,420
but people fell in love
with it so much,
1065
01:02:11,420 --> 01:02:16,420
and they worshipped here for so long
that they decided to value the old.
1066
01:02:16,420 --> 01:02:20,140
And thank goodness they did.
Cos look at the history.
1067
01:02:20,140 --> 01:02:22,740
Value the old.
There's hope for me yet.
1068
01:02:24,980 --> 01:02:26,740
It's just wonderful.
1069
01:02:26,740 --> 01:02:28,340
I love the story as well.
1070
01:02:29,660 --> 01:02:32,820
This is their interpretation
of heaven and hell.
1071
01:02:34,020 --> 01:02:37,180
All the people from heaven
have got clothes on.
1072
01:02:37,180 --> 01:02:38,980
All the people in hell are naked.
1073
01:02:41,540 --> 01:02:44,140
That'll put you on the
straight and narrow, won't it?
1074
01:02:51,740 --> 01:02:53,340
CROWD APPLAUD
1075
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:58,020
What's going on 'ere?
1076
01:02:58,020 --> 01:03:00,260
Hi. Hi. Do you know what's that?
1077
01:03:00,260 --> 01:03:02,260
No, what...what is this?
Well, this is the...
1078
01:03:02,260 --> 01:03:03,620
This is the tuna.
1079
01:03:03,620 --> 01:03:05,780
This is a very special
tradition we've got
1080
01:03:05,780 --> 01:03:07,140
in the city of Salamanca.
1081
01:03:07,140 --> 01:03:09,580
Traditionally,
they were poor students
1082
01:03:09,580 --> 01:03:11,260
that they asked for some money,
1083
01:03:11,260 --> 01:03:15,500
and for that, they sang throughout
the streets of the city. Yeah.
1084
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:19,220
Nowadays, we've got the pleasure
to have here the medical school.
1085
01:03:19,220 --> 01:03:21,420
The medical...? So these are
all trainee doctors?
1086
01:03:21,420 --> 01:03:23,820
Yeah, that's right.
THEY SING
1087
01:03:28,540 --> 01:03:31,180
I'm sorry but there's nothing
more attractive than a doctor,
1088
01:03:31,180 --> 01:03:34,660
but a doctor who can play guitar
and sing,
1089
01:03:34,660 --> 01:03:36,340
that's pretty hot!
1090
01:03:38,460 --> 01:03:41,580
I bet they've got
a lovely bedside manner too.
1091
01:03:41,580 --> 01:03:42,940
Hope Ed isn't watching.
1092
01:03:46,420 --> 01:03:49,300
Feel a bit of an idiot cos
there's only me dancing.
1093
01:03:49,300 --> 01:03:51,060
SHE LAUGHS
1094
01:03:51,060 --> 01:03:52,380
But I don't care!
1095
01:03:59,060 --> 01:04:03,300
What a perfect end to a perfect day.
1096
01:04:03,300 --> 01:04:07,020
On second thoughts, there's only
one way to end a day in Spain.
1097
01:04:09,700 --> 01:04:13,180
Coming up next, I brave the banks
of the Douro,
1098
01:04:13,180 --> 01:04:15,460
with a little help from my brolly...
1099
01:04:15,460 --> 01:04:18,860
It gets a little bit wet
going under this.
1100
01:04:18,860 --> 01:04:20,460
Ooh!
SHE LAUGHS
1101
01:04:21,540 --> 01:04:24,540
..and I call in on
a world-famous wine house.
1102
01:04:24,540 --> 01:04:26,420
Things could get messy!
1103
01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:29,140
She looks like she's had
a bit too much.
1104
01:04:35,420 --> 01:04:38,980
I'm on day five of my cruise
down Portugal's River Douro.
1105
01:04:38,980 --> 01:04:40,700
We've crossed the border with Spain,
1106
01:04:40,700 --> 01:04:43,500
and are now heading back
up the river.
1107
01:04:43,500 --> 01:04:45,220
There's a full day on board
1108
01:04:45,220 --> 01:04:48,020
before we reach our next port
of Regua.
1109
01:04:48,020 --> 01:04:50,060
But it won't be all plain sailing.
1110
01:04:50,060 --> 01:04:52,980
Along with the five massive
hydro electric dams along
1111
01:04:52,980 --> 01:04:56,060
this stretch of the river, there
are other pieces of engineering
1112
01:04:56,060 --> 01:04:59,140
designed to challenge
our captain to the max.
1113
01:04:59,140 --> 01:05:02,460
Now, on this particular journey,
there are five locks.
1114
01:05:02,460 --> 01:05:06,260
And we're just about to come to
another one right now.
1115
01:05:06,260 --> 01:05:09,460
A lot of people might think this is
a boring part, but for me,
1116
01:05:09,460 --> 01:05:11,060
I find it quite interesting.
1117
01:05:11,060 --> 01:05:14,620
And it's amazing to see
how high we are here
1118
01:05:14,620 --> 01:05:17,620
to how low we're going to
have to get there.
1119
01:05:17,620 --> 01:05:20,140
Our skipper, Alfonso Ribeiro -
1120
01:05:20,140 --> 01:05:22,180
that's him there, concentrating -
1121
01:05:22,180 --> 01:05:24,580
has got less than a metre
either side of the ship
1122
01:05:24,580 --> 01:05:26,220
to squeeze in to this lock.
1123
01:05:26,220 --> 01:05:28,060
Everyone breathe in.
1124
01:05:28,060 --> 01:05:30,300
That is pretty close.
1125
01:05:30,300 --> 01:05:33,180
And don't forget, this is
fronty bit, this is pointy end.
1126
01:05:34,420 --> 01:05:38,340
But down that side,
there's hardly any room at all.
1127
01:05:38,340 --> 01:05:42,060
Captain, just the man I need.
Hello, lovely. How are you?
1128
01:05:42,060 --> 01:05:43,540
Very well, thank you. I want...
1129
01:05:43,540 --> 01:05:46,100
Wait, good driving.
Good driving there.
1130
01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:47,500
Oh, thank you so much.
1131
01:05:47,500 --> 01:05:49,940
Yeah, you're good at, sort of,
you know, manoeuvring.
1132
01:05:49,940 --> 01:05:52,580
That's the lock that's
the mostly good manoeuvre.
1133
01:05:52,580 --> 01:05:55,180
On my car, I've got parking sensors.
1134
01:05:55,180 --> 01:05:57,740
So if I'm going to hit a wall,
it goes "Beep-beep-beep."
1135
01:05:57,740 --> 01:05:59,580
Have you got one of those in there?
No, no.
1136
01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:01,420
No? No, no.
1137
01:06:01,420 --> 01:06:03,460
Oh, so you really have to
know your game?
1138
01:06:03,460 --> 01:06:06,220
Yeah, I have to do everything
myself. That's amazing.
1139
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:10,540
A lock is basically
a lift for boats.
1140
01:06:10,540 --> 01:06:13,780
The difference in water level here
is 27 metres -
1141
01:06:13,780 --> 01:06:16,340
that's more than
six double decker buses.
1142
01:06:16,340 --> 01:06:19,540
We have come to the next level
of our journey.
1143
01:06:20,780 --> 01:06:25,180
Now, apparently, it gets a little
bit wet going under this.
1144
01:06:25,180 --> 01:06:26,740
So I have come prepared.
1145
01:06:34,940 --> 01:06:37,140
You don't get this type of thing
in ocean cruising,
1146
01:06:37,140 --> 01:06:39,100
but I think this is
really spectacular.
1147
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:40,420
Ooh, here we go!
1148
01:06:42,020 --> 01:06:43,860
Well, you do, actually, cos you get
1149
01:06:43,860 --> 01:06:47,100
caught in a few tropical storms
in the ocean, don't ya?
1150
01:06:47,100 --> 01:06:48,420
Oooh!
1151
01:06:51,860 --> 01:06:54,460
SHE CHUCKLES
1152
01:06:58,020 --> 01:06:59,820
And now, brolly down.
1153
01:07:01,660 --> 01:07:02,980
Ooh!
1154
01:07:02,980 --> 01:07:04,620
Sunglasses back on.
1155
01:07:06,020 --> 01:07:08,860
And we're back on us holidays.
1156
01:07:08,860 --> 01:07:12,260
And when you're on your holidays,
there's always time for a shindig.
1157
01:07:25,260 --> 01:07:28,820
That's worn me out.
Think I'll take a quick dip.
1158
01:07:28,820 --> 01:07:30,380
I told ya I'd get in that pool.
1159
01:07:32,700 --> 01:07:36,780
Tomorrow's, er, stop has got
quite a few tours,
1160
01:07:36,780 --> 01:07:41,020
but there's one on here that is
particularly catching me eye,
1161
01:07:41,020 --> 01:07:43,980
because it's where Mateus Rose
is made.
1162
01:07:43,980 --> 01:07:48,620
If I remember rightly, my auntie
Nancy made a lamp out of the bottle
1163
01:07:48,620 --> 01:07:50,780
cos we all thought we were
really cool doing that.
1164
01:07:50,780 --> 01:07:52,460
Yeah, exactly like this!
1165
01:07:52,460 --> 01:07:55,740
She... She made a lamp
exactly the same as this,
1166
01:07:55,740 --> 01:07:58,380
but it had a lot more fringing on.
A bit bigger.
1167
01:07:58,380 --> 01:08:01,060
Lots of fringing.
Very ornate, very chintzy.
1168
01:08:01,060 --> 01:08:03,260
But, yeah, that's exactly
how it was.
1169
01:08:03,260 --> 01:08:07,180
So, I would like to go and see
where this is made tomorrow.
1170
01:08:07,180 --> 01:08:09,820
So, goodnight for now. Yeah.
1171
01:08:11,580 --> 01:08:13,020
How do you switch this off?
1172
01:08:13,020 --> 01:08:16,900
I can't switch it off.
Is there a way to switch this off?
1173
01:08:16,900 --> 01:08:17,900
Hello?
1174
01:08:19,260 --> 01:08:21,820
Morning has broken on day six.
1175
01:08:21,820 --> 01:08:23,580
And I'm off to Mateus Palace.
1176
01:08:28,140 --> 01:08:30,260
Look at that!
1177
01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:34,100
It's definitely
the picture on the bottle.
1178
01:08:34,100 --> 01:08:37,660
It is exactly this place.
1179
01:08:37,660 --> 01:08:40,060
She looks like
she's had a bit too much.
1180
01:08:40,060 --> 01:08:43,140
It was designed by the architect
Nicolau Nasoni -
1181
01:08:43,140 --> 01:08:46,380
yes, the same guy that did
the fancy steps in Lamego.
1182
01:08:46,380 --> 01:08:47,580
Busy fella, wasn't he?
1183
01:08:47,580 --> 01:08:50,020
Now, I'm here
in the height of summer.
1184
01:08:50,020 --> 01:08:51,860
So it's August right now.
1185
01:08:51,860 --> 01:08:55,020
But if you come in the spring,
this whole place
1186
01:08:55,020 --> 01:08:57,700
is awash with a rainbow of colours.
1187
01:08:57,700 --> 01:09:00,620
Look at me. Monty Don,
eat your heart out.
1188
01:09:00,620 --> 01:09:01,860
Come on. Let's go inside.
1189
01:09:03,300 --> 01:09:04,620
Ooh.
1190
01:09:04,620 --> 01:09:07,780
Hello. Hi! Nice to meet you. You're
Filipa? Yes. Nice to meet you.
1191
01:09:07,780 --> 01:09:10,780
I'm Jane. Very nice to meet you.
Welcome to the House of Mateus.
1192
01:09:10,780 --> 01:09:13,460
Thank you. So this is
where it all began?
1193
01:09:13,460 --> 01:09:16,860
Yes, exactly. The house was built in
the first half of the 18th century,
1194
01:09:16,860 --> 01:09:19,060
so 1749.
1195
01:09:19,060 --> 01:09:21,900
It's belonged to generations
of the same family -
1196
01:09:21,900 --> 01:09:24,580
a well-travelled bunch who stuffed
it with lots of lovely pieces
1197
01:09:24,580 --> 01:09:26,220
from around the world.
1198
01:09:26,220 --> 01:09:29,340
They must keep all the Yorkshire
stuff behind lock and key somewhere.
1199
01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:31,820
In here, we have one of
the most beautiful pieces
1200
01:09:31,820 --> 01:09:34,340
and one of the most valuable pieces
in our collection,
1201
01:09:34,340 --> 01:09:35,780
this table here.
1202
01:09:35,780 --> 01:09:38,900
This came from Gujarat.
That is north of India.
1203
01:09:38,900 --> 01:09:40,740
And, well, this is priceless.
1204
01:09:40,740 --> 01:09:42,220
You can see here in the top,
1205
01:09:42,220 --> 01:09:44,940
this is made with mother of pearl
and turtle shell.
1206
01:09:44,940 --> 01:09:47,140
I daren't even go near it.
THEY LAUGH
1207
01:09:47,140 --> 01:09:50,340
I'll just step back
from the priceless table.
1208
01:09:50,340 --> 01:09:52,820
I've got a Swedish table
in my house.
1209
01:09:52,820 --> 01:09:56,140
It came flat-packed from a store
just north of Birstall.
1210
01:09:56,140 --> 01:09:59,300
So this is our beautiful
dining room. Oh, wow.
1211
01:09:59,300 --> 01:10:01,500
Oh, it's just gorgeous, isn't it?
1212
01:10:01,500 --> 01:10:04,580
It feels peaceful and opulent.
1213
01:10:04,580 --> 01:10:07,780
Yes, with the...the gardens.
1214
01:10:07,780 --> 01:10:10,060
We can see from here,
it's beautiful too.
1215
01:10:10,060 --> 01:10:11,820
It's very Versailles, isn't it?
1216
01:10:11,820 --> 01:10:15,260
Yes. The father of the present count
1217
01:10:15,260 --> 01:10:18,940
ordered a garden inspired by
the Versailles gardens.
1218
01:10:18,940 --> 01:10:22,340
Wow! Look at me, yeah.
1219
01:10:22,340 --> 01:10:24,820
I seem to...
You know the stuff. Exactly.
1220
01:10:24,820 --> 01:10:28,020
Yeah, I've seen it on the telly.
Yeah. That's what it is.
1221
01:10:28,020 --> 01:10:30,780
It really is a beautiful place,
but so far,
1222
01:10:30,780 --> 01:10:32,940
no sign of the famous rose.
1223
01:10:32,940 --> 01:10:34,540
Now, Matius Rose...
1224
01:10:34,540 --> 01:10:37,420
It's not Matius, is it?
It's... Mateus.
1225
01:10:37,420 --> 01:10:40,940
Mateus Rose was huge, and still is,
in the United Kingdom.
1226
01:10:40,940 --> 01:10:44,020
Yeah, it's mass production.
Yeah. Yeah. Is it made here?
1227
01:10:44,020 --> 01:10:46,540
No. Nowadays, no.
But in the beginning,
1228
01:10:46,540 --> 01:10:50,580
the first productions was made with
the grapes of this property.
1229
01:10:50,580 --> 01:10:52,260
Ah. Yeah.
So it's the vineyard here?
1230
01:10:52,260 --> 01:10:53,700
The vineyard is from here.
1231
01:10:53,700 --> 01:10:55,700
Nowadays, the only connection
that we have,
1232
01:10:55,700 --> 01:10:57,180
it's only the label. Ah-ha.
1233
01:10:57,180 --> 01:11:00,820
The label. Yeah, the label is
as famous as the wine. Exactly.
1234
01:11:00,820 --> 01:11:01,900
Absolutely.
1235
01:11:04,380 --> 01:11:06,580
For years, I have
recognised this image.
1236
01:11:06,580 --> 01:11:09,380
It's been in every supermarket
I've ever been in,
1237
01:11:09,380 --> 01:11:11,980
on the front of every bottle.
1238
01:11:11,980 --> 01:11:13,900
This family are collectors.
1239
01:11:13,900 --> 01:11:16,340
They bring wonderful things
from all around the world
1240
01:11:16,340 --> 01:11:17,740
back to this home.
1241
01:11:17,740 --> 01:11:20,500
I bring back fridge magnets.
1242
01:11:25,260 --> 01:11:28,820
As the sun goes down,
it's time for the social highlight.
1243
01:11:28,820 --> 01:11:32,580
I've been invited to the captain's
table for dinner, don't ya know?
1244
01:11:34,540 --> 01:11:37,500
Oh, hello. You get everywhere.
1245
01:11:37,500 --> 01:11:39,380
Now, I've been to
a few of these before
1246
01:11:39,380 --> 01:11:41,740
but I still get butterflies
in my stomach.
1247
01:11:41,740 --> 01:11:43,660
Well, at least I won't be on my own.
1248
01:11:43,660 --> 01:11:45,860
Are we sitting here?
You're next to me, dear.
1249
01:11:45,860 --> 01:11:48,100
Oh, am I next to you?
Yes, you are.
1250
01:11:48,100 --> 01:11:51,220
Oh, hello! Thank you.
Thank you very much.
1251
01:11:51,220 --> 01:11:54,220
An invite to the captain's table
is a great excuse
1252
01:11:54,220 --> 01:11:56,540
to get your glad rags on and mingle.
1253
01:11:56,540 --> 01:11:59,940
Eating, drinking and chatting -
it don't come much better than that.
1254
01:11:59,940 --> 01:12:03,500
But you cruise a lot, don't you,
and you enjoy life? Oh, yes.
1255
01:12:03,500 --> 01:12:06,260
We've done... We love travelling.
1256
01:12:06,260 --> 01:12:07,380
Well, that's good.
1257
01:12:07,380 --> 01:12:09,700
Cruises, we've done 56.
1258
01:12:09,700 --> 01:12:13,100
The food on this trip
has been really amazing.
1259
01:12:13,100 --> 01:12:14,900
The produce is fresh and local,
1260
01:12:14,900 --> 01:12:16,860
so you get a real flavour
of where you are.
1261
01:12:16,860 --> 01:12:18,220
Right, risotto time.
1262
01:12:18,220 --> 01:12:19,900
My favourite. I love risotto.
1263
01:12:19,900 --> 01:12:21,260
Bit of cheese and rice,
1264
01:12:21,260 --> 01:12:23,500
but my God, it tastes fabulous,
doesn't it?
1265
01:12:23,500 --> 01:12:25,980
And it just keeps on coming.
1266
01:12:25,980 --> 01:12:29,100
And on recommendation from the
captain, I'm going for the beef.
1267
01:12:33,460 --> 01:12:36,860
I've done quite a lot of captains'
dinners because, of course,
1268
01:12:36,860 --> 01:12:40,700
when I was a singer on the ships
as well, I used to host tables.
1269
01:12:40,700 --> 01:12:43,220
So I've got used to
talking to people.
1270
01:12:43,220 --> 01:12:46,700
It's still nerve-racking,
but I've always left
1271
01:12:46,700 --> 01:12:51,740
feeling honoured, pleased
that I've met some wonderful people,
1272
01:12:51,740 --> 01:12:55,980
and you always get the finest wines
on the captain's table.
1273
01:12:55,980 --> 01:12:59,020
So if you do get an invite
to the captain's table, go.
1274
01:12:59,020 --> 01:13:00,700
Cheers, everyone!
1275
01:13:00,700 --> 01:13:02,980
Thank you, Captain,
for your invitation.
1276
01:13:02,980 --> 01:13:05,460
Thank you. Salute. Salute.
1277
01:13:10,860 --> 01:13:13,340
I've had a fabulous time
on this cruise.
1278
01:13:13,340 --> 01:13:16,780
It's just a pity
it's coming to an end so soon.
1279
01:13:16,780 --> 01:13:19,180
Bittersweet, today, really.
1280
01:13:19,180 --> 01:13:21,700
I'm getting off the ship,
but I'm getting on a train
1281
01:13:21,700 --> 01:13:25,660
and going to Lisbon. So although
it's quite sad at this side,
1282
01:13:25,660 --> 01:13:29,100
it is going to be very exciting
at that side.
1283
01:13:29,100 --> 01:13:30,340
So, come on.
1284
01:13:30,340 --> 01:13:31,700
Thank you.
1285
01:13:31,700 --> 01:13:34,220
Thank you, Jane,
for cruising with Emerald Waterways.
1286
01:13:34,220 --> 01:13:36,060
Oh, bless you.
I'll see you very soon.
1287
01:13:36,060 --> 01:13:40,420
Thank you. All right. Ciao, baby.
Cheers, lovely. Bye.
1288
01:13:40,420 --> 01:13:43,260
So, from the ship
to the station.
1289
01:13:45,140 --> 01:13:48,420
But in true Portuguese style,
it's not your average one.
1290
01:13:48,420 --> 01:13:50,580
More like an art gallery.
1291
01:13:50,580 --> 01:13:52,900
Wow. Look at this place!
1292
01:13:52,900 --> 01:13:59,180
It's amazing that there's 20,000
beautifully painted tiles here,
1293
01:13:59,180 --> 01:14:01,380
and yet, everybody
who's coming in and out
1294
01:14:01,380 --> 01:14:04,020
is just getting on with their lives,
thinking, "Where's my train?"
1295
01:14:04,020 --> 01:14:06,580
And yet, there's all
this beauty surrounding.
1296
01:14:06,580 --> 01:14:09,100
Sao Bento station
is over a hundred years old
1297
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:10,980
and definitely worth a visit,
1298
01:14:10,980 --> 01:14:12,980
even if you don't have
a train to catch.
1299
01:14:12,980 --> 01:14:15,180
I mean, look at those tiles.
1300
01:14:15,180 --> 01:14:17,340
You don't get them at
Wakefield Westgate, do ya?
1301
01:14:17,340 --> 01:14:19,820
It's really something to see.
1302
01:14:19,820 --> 01:14:22,100
Right, where's my train?
1303
01:14:23,540 --> 01:14:25,140
Erm, right, this way.
1304
01:14:29,860 --> 01:14:31,340
It's this one. I'm sure.
1305
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,940
Coming up next,
the dolls have eyes -
1306
01:14:50,940 --> 01:14:52,420
a few too many if you ask me...
1307
01:14:52,420 --> 01:14:53,500
That one there.
1308
01:14:54,820 --> 01:14:56,020
That's gonna get me.
1309
01:14:56,020 --> 01:14:59,060
..and after eight days away,
I find my home from home.
1310
01:14:59,060 --> 01:15:02,500
Look at this!
We're in tart heaven.
1311
01:15:10,150 --> 01:15:13,150
I'm nearing the end of my passage
through Portugal.
1312
01:15:13,150 --> 01:15:17,350
I've left behind the River of Gold,
and now I'm in the nation's capital.
1313
01:15:17,350 --> 01:15:19,390
Hello, lovely Lisbon.
1314
01:15:19,390 --> 01:15:21,950
Well, this is slightly different,
isn't it?
1315
01:15:21,950 --> 01:15:24,870
The slow pace of the Douro
1316
01:15:24,870 --> 01:15:27,870
and now we're in the
busy, busy city of Lisbon.
1317
01:15:27,870 --> 01:15:30,310
And there's shops. I'm off.
1318
01:15:35,390 --> 01:15:38,470
This is Europe's
second-oldest capital city.
1319
01:15:38,470 --> 01:15:42,230
Some of history's most adventurous
explorers were Portuguese.
1320
01:15:42,230 --> 01:15:46,270
So, as a tribute to them, I'm off
to do some exploring of my own.
1321
01:15:46,270 --> 01:15:48,470
I always say,
when you're on a cruise,
1322
01:15:48,470 --> 01:15:51,430
you should try to do something
that you would normally never do.
1323
01:15:51,430 --> 01:15:54,030
I'd never normally visit
a dolls' hospital.
1324
01:15:54,030 --> 01:15:55,990
So guess where I'm going now.
1325
01:15:55,990 --> 01:15:58,470
Hospital de Bonecas
is open to visitors.
1326
01:15:58,470 --> 01:16:01,750
And today, guides Melanie
and Manuela are introducing me
1327
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:03,350
to one of the patients.
1328
01:16:03,350 --> 01:16:05,390
This is her.
1329
01:16:05,390 --> 01:16:08,830
She has come in for cleaning
and for a new dress.
1330
01:16:08,830 --> 01:16:10,590
Really?
1331
01:16:10,590 --> 01:16:12,950
And people have that
in their bedrooms?
1332
01:16:12,950 --> 01:16:15,310
Yes. Sometimes.
1333
01:16:15,310 --> 01:16:17,910
They like that? I-I would be...
1334
01:16:17,910 --> 01:16:19,630
I would never sleep.
1335
01:16:19,630 --> 01:16:23,350
Cos they're just looking at you
the whole time.
1336
01:16:23,350 --> 01:16:24,990
Especially dressed as a clown.
1337
01:16:24,990 --> 01:16:27,870
There's drawers full of spare
body parts to fix anything
1338
01:16:27,870 --> 01:16:31,310
from priceless porcelain heirlooms
to run-of-the-mill Barbies.
1339
01:16:31,310 --> 01:16:34,110
Have you got any of the eyes?
Could I see the eyes?
1340
01:16:34,110 --> 01:16:35,870
This box has eyes...
1341
01:16:35,870 --> 01:16:38,830
JANE STIFLES A SHRIEK
..different colours, different size.
1342
01:16:38,830 --> 01:16:41,110
Oh, my God. Look at that.
1343
01:16:43,030 --> 01:16:45,790
This, for example...
Oh, yeah. ..it's brown.
1344
01:16:45,790 --> 01:16:48,030
So you just do that
and they're weighted, yeah?
1345
01:16:48,030 --> 01:16:49,550
Yeah. Weights.
1346
01:16:49,550 --> 01:16:53,590
There's also a museum
that's home to over 4,000 dolls.
1347
01:16:53,590 --> 01:16:56,230
That's not a
good-looking doll, is it?
1348
01:16:56,230 --> 01:16:57,470
Yeah, that's...
1349
01:16:57,470 --> 01:17:01,230
That's a spooky...
That's creepy. I mean, this...
1350
01:17:01,230 --> 01:17:02,790
She looks....
1351
01:17:02,790 --> 01:17:04,910
I mean, that's... That's...
1352
01:17:06,190 --> 01:17:08,190
Ooh.
1353
01:17:08,190 --> 01:17:12,670
Wow! Every room is crammed
full of eyes,
1354
01:17:12,670 --> 01:17:14,510
just peering at you.
1355
01:17:14,510 --> 01:17:16,470
Do you not get...?
1356
01:17:16,470 --> 01:17:20,230
No, no, it's not... No?
It's just a doll. It's a doll.
1357
01:17:20,230 --> 01:17:22,710
So, if you have a doll
that you still love
1358
01:17:22,710 --> 01:17:25,150
but it's in a bit of a state,
send it here
1359
01:17:25,150 --> 01:17:28,230
and these lovely ladies will
bring it back to all its glory.
1360
01:17:28,230 --> 01:17:31,030
Just don't ask me to come
and collect it for you.
1361
01:17:31,030 --> 01:17:32,030
I'm thinking...
1362
01:17:33,510 --> 01:17:35,990
..that I was just having a look
at some nice, pretty dolls,
1363
01:17:35,990 --> 01:17:38,990
and then three of them eyeballed me.
1364
01:17:38,990 --> 01:17:42,750
I'm talking, really, as if they were
going to come and go...
1365
01:17:42,750 --> 01:17:45,390
SHE SQUEALS
..you know, like the film?
1366
01:17:45,390 --> 01:17:48,270
That one there. That's just not...
1367
01:17:48,270 --> 01:17:50,110
That's... That's gonna get me.
1368
01:17:53,550 --> 01:17:56,190
Lisbon's a bustling
cultural capital,
1369
01:17:56,190 --> 01:17:59,990
but the longest lines
aren't for galleries or museums.
1370
01:17:59,990 --> 01:18:04,630
This massive queue here
is all for a custard tart.
1371
01:18:04,630 --> 01:18:07,390
Huge amounts are sold every day.
1372
01:18:07,390 --> 01:18:09,550
And there's lots of bakeries
that claim
1373
01:18:09,550 --> 01:18:11,270
that they came up with the recipe.
1374
01:18:11,270 --> 01:18:14,470
But I think this
is the most popular.
1375
01:18:14,470 --> 01:18:17,710
So I'm gonna join that queue and
I'm gonna to see how they're made,
1376
01:18:17,710 --> 01:18:19,870
and I'm gonna taste them for myself.
1377
01:18:19,870 --> 01:18:22,430
Cos you know me, I love a tart.
1378
01:18:22,430 --> 01:18:27,190
The tarts of pasteis de Belem
date all the way back from 1837,
1379
01:18:27,190 --> 01:18:30,110
when a nearby monastery
started producing them.
1380
01:18:30,110 --> 01:18:33,110
The same recipe's still
going strong today.
1381
01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:34,430
Are you Maria?
1382
01:18:34,430 --> 01:18:37,190
Hello. Hello! I'm Jane.
1383
01:18:37,190 --> 01:18:39,030
Oh, do you want to join me?
1384
01:18:39,030 --> 01:18:42,790
I will show you the baking of
pasteis de Belem. Oh, fantastic.
1385
01:18:44,150 --> 01:18:47,550
They make up to 40,000 tarts
here every day.
1386
01:18:47,550 --> 01:18:51,750
The recipe is so secret, only three
people in the whole world know it.
1387
01:18:51,750 --> 01:18:54,470
So, every single bit is handmade?
1388
01:18:54,470 --> 01:18:55,910
Yes. Wow.
1389
01:18:55,910 --> 01:18:57,230
Do you want to try it?
1390
01:18:57,230 --> 01:18:59,830
Yeah. Come on. Can I? Yes.
1391
01:18:59,830 --> 01:19:01,790
OK.
1392
01:19:01,790 --> 01:19:02,990
So you do...?
1393
01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:07,750
Oh, blimey! This is harder
than you think.
1394
01:19:07,750 --> 01:19:10,950
You have to do this for me.
You see the swell over there?
1395
01:19:10,950 --> 01:19:12,870
Yeah. You press the swell
to the bottom.
1396
01:19:14,350 --> 01:19:16,070
This is a lot harder than you think.
1397
01:19:16,070 --> 01:19:17,750
She's made four to my one.
1398
01:19:20,310 --> 01:19:21,750
I'm rubbish at this.
1399
01:19:21,750 --> 01:19:23,350
So we have the outside,
1400
01:19:23,350 --> 01:19:25,630
but what about the
all-important filling?
1401
01:19:25,630 --> 01:19:27,350
So this is the custard room?
1402
01:19:27,350 --> 01:19:32,590
Yes, it comes from the...the
pressure pan upstairs
1403
01:19:32,590 --> 01:19:35,950
and comes down from the hose
to there, to cool down.
1404
01:19:35,950 --> 01:19:38,190
So it's all being made up there?
1405
01:19:38,190 --> 01:19:40,710
Part of it, yeah.
And then comes down the tube...
1406
01:19:40,710 --> 01:19:42,070
Yes. ..and into that?
1407
01:19:42,070 --> 01:19:44,310
Into there, yeah.
JANE GASPS
1408
01:19:44,310 --> 01:19:46,150
Wow.
1409
01:19:46,150 --> 01:19:47,910
This is amazing. Yes.
1410
01:19:47,910 --> 01:19:51,910
The tarts are filled with custard
and baked to perfection.
1411
01:19:54,070 --> 01:19:56,910
Oooh, look at this!
1412
01:19:56,910 --> 01:19:58,590
We're in tart heaven.
1413
01:20:01,430 --> 01:20:04,350
Can you get the smell?
1414
01:20:04,350 --> 01:20:06,390
Mm. The smell is so good.
1415
01:20:06,390 --> 01:20:08,070
Oh, my goodness, me.
1416
01:20:08,070 --> 01:20:10,150
I can't wait to eat one.
1417
01:20:10,150 --> 01:20:12,710
And when I say I can't wait,
I mean it.
1418
01:20:12,710 --> 01:20:14,430
Cos it's time to tuck in.
1419
01:20:17,430 --> 01:20:18,950
Oooh, they're nice and warm.
1420
01:20:25,710 --> 01:20:29,150
Good, isn't it?
Oh. Do you like it?
1421
01:20:29,150 --> 01:20:32,030
Ooh! Mm. Mmmm!
1422
01:20:32,030 --> 01:20:34,910
SHE LAUGHS
1423
01:20:34,910 --> 01:20:37,590
That is not just a tart.
1424
01:20:37,590 --> 01:20:39,590
That is an experience.
1425
01:20:40,750 --> 01:20:43,870
And now I have seen them
all being made,
1426
01:20:43,870 --> 01:20:49,990
you have to come to Portugal
and you have to come here,
1427
01:20:49,990 --> 01:20:54,910
because this is something you will
never taste anywhere else
1428
01:20:54,910 --> 01:20:56,790
but here.
1429
01:20:56,790 --> 01:20:59,190
And trust me, it's worth it.
1430
01:21:02,110 --> 01:21:03,110
Mm!
1431
01:21:05,350 --> 01:21:10,390
A delicious way to end my time here
in this beautiful country.
1432
01:21:10,390 --> 01:21:13,550
What an amazing trip
from start to finish.
1433
01:21:13,550 --> 01:21:19,030
Every single bit of this journey
through Portugal, I have loved.
1434
01:21:19,030 --> 01:21:23,510
I feel like I've had a holiday
romance that I don't want to finish.
1435
01:21:23,510 --> 01:21:27,390
I have definitely now
got a love affair with Portugal,
1436
01:21:27,390 --> 01:21:29,830
and I intend to come back.
1437
01:21:29,830 --> 01:21:32,030
What a fabulous time I've had.
1438
01:21:32,030 --> 01:21:34,630
I sincerely hope you have
a great time as well.
1439
01:21:34,630 --> 01:21:35,950
Go for it.
1440
01:21:54,030 --> 01:22:01,750
# In the middle of the
I go walking in my
1441
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:03,310
# Ah-ah
1442
01:22:03,310 --> 01:22:06,110
# In the middle of the night
1443
01:22:06,110 --> 01:22:08,750
# I go walking in my sleep
1444
01:22:08,750 --> 01:22:11,310
# From the mountains of faith
1445
01:22:11,310 --> 01:22:13,630
# To the river so deep
1446
01:22:13,630 --> 01:22:16,470
# I must be looking for something
1447
01:22:16,470 --> 01:22:19,350
# Something sacred I lost
1448
01:22:19,350 --> 01:22:22,150
# But the river is wide
1449
01:22:22,150 --> 01:22:25,830
# And it's too hard to cross
1450
01:22:25,830 --> 01:22:28,230
# And even though I know
the river is wide
1451
01:22:28,230 --> 01:22:31,270
# I walk down every evening
and I stand on the shore
1452
01:22:31,270 --> 01:22:33,590
# And try to cross
to the opposite side
1453
01:22:33,590 --> 01:22:36,590
# So I can finally find
what I've been looking for
1454
01:22:36,590 --> 01:22:39,430
# In the middle of the night
1455
01:22:39,430 --> 01:22:42,030
# I go walking in my sleep
1456
01:22:42,030 --> 01:22:44,710
# Through the valley of fear
1457
01:22:44,710 --> 01:22:47,350
# To a river so deep
1458
01:22:47,350 --> 01:22:50,150
# I been searching for something
1459
01:22:50,150 --> 01:22:52,750
# Taken out of my soul
1460
01:22:52,750 --> 01:22:55,430
# Something I'd never lose
1461
01:22:55,430 --> 01:22:58,030
# Something somebody stole
1462
01:22:59,710 --> 01:23:01,710
# I don't know why I go
walking at night
1463
01:23:01,710 --> 01:23:04,590
# But now I'm tired
and I don't want to walk any more
1464
01:23:04,590 --> 01:23:06,950
# I hope it doesn't take
the rest of my life
1465
01:23:06,950 --> 01:23:11,470
# Until I find what it is
that I've been looking for
1466
01:23:11,470 --> 01:23:13,230
# In the middle of the night
1467
01:23:13,230 --> 01:23:20,750
# I go walking in the
In the middle of the
1468
01:23:20,750 --> 01:23:22,350
# I go walking in the
1469
01:23:22,350 --> 01:23:24,710
# In the middle of the night
1470
01:23:24,710 --> 01:23:27,510
# I go walking in my sleep
1471
01:23:27,510 --> 01:23:30,070
# Through the desert of truth
1472
01:23:30,070 --> 01:23:32,870
# By the river of dreams
1473
01:23:32,870 --> 01:23:36,670
# In the middle of the night. #
1474
01:23:36,670 --> 01:23:38,870
Look at this beautiful day.
1475
01:23:38,870 --> 01:23:43,070
Let's go to Lamenga...mo...go.
1476
01:23:43,070 --> 01:23:44,630
Lamengo...
1477
01:23:44,630 --> 01:23:46,750
BOTH LAUGH
1478
01:24:07,950 --> 01:24:11,710
