00:56I must have dabbled with a trowel,

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI left home to learn my trade,
01:37'and eventually found myself on TV.'
01:40Hello, and welcome to

02:18Oh, it's wonderfully fresh.
02:20'..and everything in between.'
02:22You've passed with flying colours.
02:25Mary Berry says I'm a good cook.
02:27Oh, my goodness!
02:28Would you look at that?
02:31This is my very own
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined60
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwhen I was 12.
02:55Then, when I went to work in
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960

undefined:undefined77
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedstepped off a plane to Singapore.
03:41Forgive the perspiration.
03:42But that's what it was like
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined83
undefined:undefined84
undefined:undefined85
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe rarest plant in the world.
04:03'It's now in the Temperate House,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960

04:19About half as much.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined96
undefined:undefined97
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthey said, "Now, look...
04:31"This is the only one of its kind
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined102
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinednot to kill it?
04:42It's terrifying, innit?
04:43Well, we've had generations
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined107
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedif I'd actually killed it?
04:53You may not be

undefined:undefined111
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwas over-watering it.
05:04It does like,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined116
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat finishes it off.
05:17You and I go back such a long way.
05:20You're one plant whose name
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined121
undefined:undefined122
undefined:undefined123
undefined:undefined124
undefined:undefined125
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat you don't see,
05:45because these gardens are devoted,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined132
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedour building materials,
06:08er, our ecosystems.
06:10Without plants, you know,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined138
undefined:undefined139
undefined:undefined140
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe world would be lost forever.
06:34'For my next Shades Of Green,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined147
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthrough to early June,
06:53when over 80 rhododendron species
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined151
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof hundreds of wild lupins
07:16flowering beside Terwick Church.
07:24But the shortest,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined157
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedit just takes your breath away.
07:47This is Bodnant's famous arch.
07:5048 Laburnum trees
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined162
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor a three-week period,
08:05I would say there's only five days
08:07when all the flowers are out
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined167
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedat Helmingham Hall in Suffolk.
08:35It's grand enough to feed a king.
08:37It even has its own moat.
08:40Rabbits don't like moats,
08:42so they don't swim,
08:43so we don't have
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960

undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedis at Rousham House in Oxfordshire,
09:02'and I've brought along my friend
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined181
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgarden are brimming with produce.
09:23It's been in the family,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined187
undefined:undefined188
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand you can peel them
09:42just by touching the skin,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined194
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOh...
09:55Erm, and, er...
09:57Well, he grew what we wanted to eat.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined200
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefineda bit like these 'tatoes.
10:12We had goats,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined205
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcos it was rationed.
10:26Yeah, yeah.
10:29'One of my favourite
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined210
undefined:undefined211
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedWell...
10:42HE LAUGHS
10:43What's that?
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined217
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedDrop it in the hole.
11:02Right.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined223
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwill have stayed stored.
11:16New potatoes at Christmas.
11:17Fancy teaching Mary Berry
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined229
undefined:undefined230
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAll right, OK.
11:27And the phone will ring, Alan,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined235
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor a while.
11:43Want to pop it in the processor?
11:44HE LAUGHS
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined241
undefined:undefined242
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYeah, have a go.
12:01Go on. Have a go.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined248
undefined:undefined249
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin this black water,
12:15so we didn't want to eat 'em,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined253
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedturn up for the books,
12:29because you are the chef.
12:31Real role reverse.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined259
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlots of varied vegetables.
12:45That's the thing,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined263
undefined:undefined264
undefined:undefined265
undefined:undefined266
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
I think they're all right.
:undefinedOh, wow. I mean...
13:05That really is...
13:07It's beautifully baked.
13:09Do they pass muster?
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined273
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedonly a few minutes ago.
13:21Ooh, one thing
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined278
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe closing of the circle.
13:33You've sowed the seed,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined282
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedin doing that.
13:43You...
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960

14:33It's there.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined298
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpaintings changed gardening
14:53when they arrived on our shores.
14:55The 18th-century, of course,

undefined:undefined303
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedpostcard from your Grand Tour.
15:10So this is their version
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined309
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedan idyllic landscape
15:20'quite unlike anything
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined314
undefined:undefined315
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedwith clipped box
15:39and raked gravel and stuff,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined320
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedof a Claude painting.
15:58In Yorkshire, the ancient ruins
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined325
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedtowards a graceful lake.
16:16And look -
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined329
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedplant and building
16:32was carefully placed
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined333
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlike these.
16:55So next time we walk past,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined337
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedgave us what we think
17:12is the British landscape of today.
17:14It's actually European.
17:16Yes, it is.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined345
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedever created.
17:40It's frightening, now, to look
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined349
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcreating 17 cut rose blooms,
17:55not for gardens, but for bouquets.
17:58So this is Juliet.
17:59This open-petal form,
18:02in terms of cut rose,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined356
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe perfect form.
18:22For sheer ambition alone,
18:25I can't think of
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined364
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedlate in life.
18:42And, boy, has it bitten him hard.
18:45Alan.
18:47Lovely to see you on a lovely day.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined370
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe house itself sort of deserves.
19:11What I love down here is the scale.
19:14I mean, these are stonking.
19:15And you started with all these yews
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined379
undefined:undefined200
undefined:undefinedIt...
19:25Yes. Theatrical. Drama.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined384
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthe drama hits you at every turn.
19:38The next vista, which goes...
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined390
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedfor a certain chocolate bar,
19:52and that helped to pay for that.
19:54Oh, that sort of Wispa Cottage!
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined395
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedYes!
20:09The puzzle is, you arrive,
20:11you walk around,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined402
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedcome for the weekend.Right.
20:24'Nothing prepares you, though,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined408
undefined:undefined409
undefined:undefined410
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedAll black.
20:40Just got nothing but black...
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined415
undefined:undefined416
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat I'm afraid I sort of...
20:59..I rather think life
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined421
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedthat when you start doing it,
21:17you're just...
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined425
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedOh, yeah.
21:28I'm really, really too happy here,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined430
undefined:undefined431
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedand just finishing off here.
21:48I like that you've got two of these.
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined435
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedI'll take this one.
21:57CLIPPERS BUZZ
22:05Well, do you know?
22:07I think Alan might
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
undefined:undefined441
undefined:undefined442
undefined:undefined
undefined:undefinedamazing nature-rich habitats.
22:28As you know,
undefined:undefined00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,960
