Well today we're in a very sunny Looe in Cornwall and why are we here Mel
after seeing Beyond Paradise which is a spin-off of Death in Paradise which is actually set
in South Devon but was filmed here in Looe Cornwall. Let's go and have a look around and
if you're lucky we may get some chips, ooh! a bit early, never too early for chips!
So just to recap we're in Looe and it's our first time here and it's beautiful
weather and we've come here to have a look around and I'm going to start off the day the best
way with a bacon sandwich, the only way, healthy food. And this is our view, not a bad way to
start the day
so this is where we're having breakfast, Tasty Corner, Cafe on the Quay
In war-torn Looe, I did say the West Bank, on the west side of the town, well your bacon sandwich
has arrived I know it looks nice and fresh nice soft bread, I will, Lots of ketchup, has
to be Heinz, why am I always being filmed eaten?
I feel like David Attenborough.
Well that's all gone
the Black Pearl 2 hour mackerel trips and pirating
and at the entrance of the harbour there's a blubbery old thing, no it's not what Mel calls
me, it's a seal, well actually a statue of a seal called Nelson
well Mel, Nelson the seal a distinctive one-eyed scarred bull Gray Seal, soundslike me and
you got the same amount of blubber oh Charming they may erect the statue of me at Porthcawl Harbour
Why did they name it after Nelson Mandela, it's Nelson, Nelson, Nelson I know
I'm just joking, the one-armed one-eyed bloke and just look at the colour of the water not bad
for the sea around the UK
just a little shout-out to Anita yes, we were stopped when we were filming in Looe
and Anita lives here and she recognised us from our Dalyan Turkey video, Hello thanks
for watching!
Mel, do you want some Cornish Delights?
A fisherman takes you on his boat, and does what to me, and shows you his tackle OK
so if you've watched Beyond Paradise you may recognise this building it was used as the
police station
a very suspicious looking character
this says it was built in 1430 and restored in 1595 with beams salvage from
the Spanish Armada
it's getting warm now
makes a change and we're just coming up to Looe Beach.
Back to the TV show Beyond Paradise I think the promo shot was taken on this spot was
it yeah I'm sure they're standing here on this little jetty with that in the background
It's really nice now isn't it Mel I forgot my sunglasses yeah well we were planning to
have chips but we thought after the bacon sandwich and sausage roll so what we'll do
I think we'll come back, sausage sandwich,
what we'll do, we'll come back tomorrow evening and have some chips for dinner, yes we will do that
I think so and I just noticed something, look at the state of these cars oh
Watch out for the seagulls here, anyway we'll see you tomorrow when we come back for chips
A Ha!
It' Alan Partridge
So we're back in a very sunny Looe, Mel is with me, she's hiding and we're back for one thing, Chips!
So there seem to be two main chip shops within a few hundred yards of each other we're gonna
check them out and get back to you. randomly we've decided to go to Kelly's, no reason
just tables available and it's the closest
that's the only decision wasn't it, nice yes yeah it looked nice yesterday so we're gonna
try Kelly's. That place was chaotic so we're going to try the other chip shop, don't know what was
going on, there was a massive queue with not much action going on, so a change of plans
we're gonna try this place, Catch, so I've just ordered £15.45 regular cod amd chips large chips
a curry sauce and scampi's there it's mistake that's taken off, don't know where that came from
that's yours
and I've got
a large chips
guess what Mel has brought her own tomato sauce Heinz
let's try this
oh sweet good chip shop curry sauce medium to mild my chips are okay
wow looks nice and yeah
looks nice and white and crispy
it's nice to have a bit more salt, nice fish flaky white hot the batter's crispy.
What fish and chips is like isn't it
the cod is very nice very flaky um the batter is very light and crispy just can do with a tiny
bit more seasoning I think, yes good fish
I'll let you get on
thank you, Mel's going in for some extra vinegar
get off my curry sauce!
Mel's enjoying the curry sauce and the fish as well, that fish is nice isn't it but
not so keen on the chips, not bad, had better,
curry sauce is good though
anyway
the food's getting cold we'll catch up with you , we'll Catch, Catch up with you later
mine's gone how about you Mel um nice yes
so Mel how are your chips, oh the chips were OK, better fish, the fish was decent and
I liked the curry sauce, I think because we are connoisseurs of chips I think where we
live ,we've got very high standard of fish and chip shops really and I thought all of
the places I've been to where we live, it hasn't lived up to those, so there we are, but they were nice
though, it was okay yeah. I enjoyed the curry sauce and chips, take your
own ketchup, though somebody else, we had to share a table because look at the evening
look how nice it is and we're sharing the table outside and somebody else turned up
with their own bottle of Heinz sauce so it's not just Mel, it's something some else does as well ,oh
Well 40 pound for a little sachet is quite a lot of money, 40 pounds! 40 pence 40 pence
[Laughter]
so that was Looe. I liked Looe, yeah we really enjoyed it, the weather did help
it's quarter to eight at the moment and look at this, the sun's going down I'm looking like
a big conker, we actually went swimming this afternoon in an outdoor pool, yeah it was heated
in our holiday park yeah it was lovely, anyway that was Looe and our other video
Polperro and we'll see you in another video coming up shortly [Music]
