This is Drama of the Week. And that's all for today, but you can hear more dispatches from around the world on BBC Sounds. We'll be back again next Saturday morning. Do join us. From our own correspondent was presented by Kate AD. Now, before the 10 o'clock news, here's Jay Rayner to tell us about a very special edition of The Kitchen Cabinet. Hello, this week's kitchen cabinet comes from the Potato Museum in the village of Pisac in the sacred valley of the Incas in deepest Peru. What? In this living museum, visitors can experience some of the 2,000 indigenous varieties of potato that grow in this region of the Andes. We'll be with celebrated chef Mateo Salazar, who will talk us through some of the 500 different methods he uses to prepare the humble's bud.
If you think all potatoes are just chips and mash... Shut up. Ridiculous.
Hi.
You're late.
I know, there was... It was...
Expected.
Yes, right. Sorry, sorry. Everything? Yeah. Sure? Dad. One last look around? If I've forgotten something, then it's my subconscious telling me I didn't need it in the first place. Does your subconscious know about passports? My subconscious doesn't recognise international borders. Chloe. I'm not a dick, Dad. Bloody hell. Hello? What's in here? It's fine. We put it on the bathroom scales. Can
I go in the back?
Barry's in the back. We're taking Barry. Mick never showed up. Mick. He was going to have him. Mick. Mick was going to look after Barry. Well, just for the... Mick can't look after himself, Dad. No, right. Clearly, that's why I was... Mark could have had him. Yes, right. No. No, she... she can't. Why not? Dad? Barry's mine. What? He's mine. What does that mean? It was agreed. What was? I get to have him. Seriously? Until we've sorted everything. You're joking. I know it sounds... Spiteful. Well... Vindictive, petty, childish. I thought she'd have
told
you. She didn't. Well, settle down, Chloe. Can I drive? How much have you had? None of your business.
It is if
you're driving. Chloe? Mum opened one of the fancy ones. The French ones? Under the stairs. They're 45 quid. Wrong. No. 90 quid. You had two? Good maths, Clive. A bottle each. Might have. Those were for your wedding. I'm never getting married, Dad. I am never getting married. How is she? Pretty rubbish. Is she coming out? We said goodbye. I thought she'd want to see you off. See me, Dad, not you. Right, then. Right, then. Come on. Oh, good Lord. He'd have survived one night on his own, wouldn't he? He's not brilliant, Chloe. His guts. Oh, lovely. He's 15. Stuck in the car. He likes it in the car. Us. I mean, his guts. Well, we can open a window. Give me a minute with this. Get the route up here with the... Six hours, 43. Well, that includes charging my... Kill me.
We can get a cup of tea, Chloe. Let Baz out, stretch our legs. Be nice. Chat. Chat? While we charge. Chat while we charge? Got lots to chat about. The coach would have been quicker. This is nice, though, isn't it? You excited? About seven hours in a car... About the adventure. Suppose. I've got mints. Oh, well, now I am besides myself. You'll be on a plane for much longer. There are films on the plane, Dad. I can't see any films here. Have you got films? What's your entertainment system? Barry, a packet of mints and a chat? You're drunk. Maybe I am. Maybe I am... OK, then. Are you all right? Why? What? Driving. I do nights, don't I? Only on call, Dad. You don't have to stay awake on call. I've had a nap. We should have got a hotel at the airport.
I'm fine. But that would have cost money, Chloe. It's not that. Always that. I thought it'd be nice. I haven't seen you. Bye, house. Look after Mum.
Bye.
What do you have? Taj Tandoori. Cote de Nuit with a poppadom?
Garlic naan, actually.
Unbelievable.
You won't call
tonight, then? Only if there's a crisis. You'll be miles away. I don't have to physically be there. Saturday night, Dad. So? That's when people have crises. Crises. I've got tomorrow off. But not tonight. It'll be fine. It'll be fine. Do we not have this the whole way? No. Staying down, anyway. What are you going to do? I haven't decided. Mystery man. Single man. Sounds weird, coming from your dad.
