moments magician through time balance who joins us as our special studio. but first for talk of her joseph for doesn't just doesn't just take pictures he likes to blend his subjects into the background of whatever he's shooting and this involves wrapping them in elaborate net where there's a lot of preparation that needs to take place before an image take shape we've got a closer look on a shoot with ford in the u k. it isn't often that internationally famous british d.j. and musician fatboy slim blends into the background but today is an exception here in the english town of brighton he's the model for photographer joseph ford for dresses his subjects in hand items matching their surroundings creating a chameleon effect for his knitted camouflage project that boy's slim agreed to

wear a new robe created specially to fade into the eight metre wide smiley face painted on his rooftop a series are so that's that's my street bike on a sense of humor. attention to the. ford has been interested in blending objects for years and his eyes are trained to see places that are perfect for melting them together i think the one thing that people of austin about repeatedly is it's all done for real is it all what you don't see joy is all the retouching but i was very interested working with something which is which isn't easy to work with. it isn't perfect you don't get something which looks absolutely perfect that's why i got so excited when i was a bit leaner and so that she was doing the thing. i needed dug provides the meticulously crafted knitwear for ford's shoots their collaboration began four years ago. i met nina crazy about mystic crazy about buses and she was working

on a jumper that fitted to a bus. and so we decided to work on this concept together and took the first picture which was of a guy with a big beard sitting across. calls herself the duke of wellington because of her love of knitting on wines from her day job as a student welfare advisor but picking up her needles and getting to work for ford's next project i met this guy who needed an enormous knitted micro so i said don't you worry safe hands so i miss. and that while talking to him i mentioned that i needed to jump that looked exactly like a bus seat and which point he said forget the microbe let's do a photo shot of that so that's what we did the rest is history actually. ford choose a location and brings the idea to nina for discussion he likes to challenge her but she rarely accepts defeat even when the project is the time consuming one.

the design is the difficult bit so i think maybe for six hours on the design and the knitting bit is kind of the easy bit but that takes ages and ages so . twenty hours forty i was i don't i don't count the hours i just sit here happily relaxing and knitting to the path i designed. only one photo brick wired a reversed routine french swiss street artist mr shah created one of his famous graffiti cats to match nina's already completed sweater sometimes we i knit the jumper first and i say it's quite it's quite a large one or it's a really teeny one so we have to model this kind of thing. the. sometimes when i go model in mind these i haven't met them and i've kind of go on i did it well is quite flexible which is good but it's it was a slightly terrifying maybe. but fatboy slim certainly proved to fit perfectly into

the world of need it camouflage. the charge to five sessions up to before but no he's been stupid enough to try and erect that kind of overhead camera and driving thing before so yeah just when that one you always get that one step too well one step further some might say too far but i just think the right one. to shoot grouse and the entire team is happy with the images. the fact that. it was was happy to do it for me because i've no idea how many people skip faith as because people he must be inundated with people asking him for this kind of thing and he was happy to let us into his house spend a day. after looking through his many photos from the shoot for chooses his favorite. the final image from today's shoot will be featured alongside all of the photos from this project in an upcoming book set to be released in late twenty nine

thousand. from start to finish the shoot only lasted about eight hours the knitting of course took a lot longer. love it or hate it there is no denying that social media is a great way to get a message across and thanks to twitter hundreds of people will appear in director danny boyle's new movie more on that story plus a beer shortage in the u.k. the has people up in arms in today's express. the three dimensional hologram of the mummy is to go on display in the image and painted salesman see him in the german town of fittest time on saturday. the nearly twenty eight hundred year old mummy a few gyptian noblewoman tough to do will reveal layer by layer from the sicko focused down to the skeleton. the hologram was created using high resolution

a lifelong dream is coming true. so says the little boy i had models of this train so it's always a dream to go on the train never going to get a chance and basically i think going back in time it was so like curious from the programs we've seen it something we've always wanted to do since my husband sam gets better they say we've decided to celebrate this way. we put the classic itinerary of the finished simpson orient express the alpine route from northern israeli via austria switzerland to france and further on to london. it's just as it was a century ago when trains with the most fashionable way to travel with the best possible service included in the fact. good morning sir michael moore my name is florida and they are your parents through our or her. dad in knows every detail of

his cock there's a cabin steward assigned to each one of the original pullman cars. this one was built in britain in one nine hundred twenty nine and it was recently turned to be refurbished. to have a specialized operator and this would actually lead their boarder to solve the problems where they will lead dismantle their own carriage and restore every single piece just polishing every single piece of bark it's very hard to air. this year six five is this month. as the dynamites roll by outside lunch is served inside three courses for each of the more than one hundred eighty passengers prepared and one of the two small galleys on board. with. six ships have just twelve square metres of space to cook up high class cuisine.

naturally everything is freshly prepared to. go if i love it the sea is wonderful they come in some really impressed by how much they get into the just small group and i have no idea yet how big the kitchen is that the food sometimes they really love and. the rolling across the continent in style the event is simply an hour and expressed pays tribute to the elegance and luxury of yes to here when the international jet set journeyed by train across europe to istanbul. is limited to carriages in one nine hundred twenty s. on take us style office passengers the chance to step back into the belly pocket of rail travel. like a five star about it's moving you know the cabbies of your region knows the training studio so you can be noisy and be moving but it's part of the experience we try to keep the train technically it's

a level of service modern bobs we have to give you for it you know. another original is the creation of head barman via tourney's seat he calls his cocktail the guilty twelve a nod to the number of ingredients and attributes of the twelve countries the train passes through their food is something we did seize up in this thing as a secret only on the i know they did for least i created there was taken a. long time to put all that all of them to be. the guilty twelve is the most popular cocktail in the evening when guests assemble in the public calm the social hub of the train. that's how they left jody years ago with all. the whatever they will.

while guests wind down the day in the box cabin steward to eat it ensures that they can full sufi's after a nightcap. overnight in the style to train winds its way through switzerland into france. breakfast overlooking the. next stop paris. for us the duty on the been is some sort of orient express ends here but there's more in still for the passengers on board as this legend on wheels rolls on to will it's not. in our culture merry series in your remarks our current chefs from all over europe share some of their best recipes and today we head over to switzerland where we'll learn how to prepare their own version of meatballs from

scratch however instead of going to a fancy restaurant we will partake in something called the swiss tavo laughs which allows people to enjoy traditional and innovative swiss squeezing in a real life setting. farmers live differently from city people. they are closely connected to animals and nature and mainly eat food they produce themselves now vacationers in switzerland can get to know this law. as part of the initiative swiss top a lot more than forty farmers offer regional cuisine at home one of the hosts is melanie jobs are. going to meet us there i want people to come here and experience farm life to see where the bench tools grow and where the meat comes from well that's a complete. their homes their family has thirty cows to the cattle are raised as naturally as possible and that makes the quality of their meat especially high.

because you see the animals eat fresh grass on hay throughout the day they're in the stall now but the animals can move around for a bit and they grow slowly that's just i said for the quality of the meat of this long. melanie uses be for her own animals to make hock tetchily meatballs serve with herb sauce. she'll make a side dish of zucchini mangold and potatoes all homegrown authentic suppose food for her guests you have fleshed out the meatballs are typical of switzerland it's easy to follow the recipe and both children and adults love them. and wash some reagan oh and chives and chop them finely. season the meat with top rekha and salt and needed until it's well mixed. so the trick here is to need the mass well if you're meats of good quality you don't have to add flour or bread crumbs and fresh

herbs give the meatballs a scrumptious flavor and. form the meat into little balls. saute them till golden brown at medium heat then remove them from the pan. in another pan mix oregano pesto celery paste and white wine and simmer briefly at the garlic and meat balls. if it does long it's important to reserve the oil because fat is what transports flavor. they could. just add a little water or milk if the sauce gets too thick for the side dish while the meat balls or cocaine. use the oil from the meat balls to brown the potatoes season the chop mangold and steam it. cut the zucchini into thick slices and crying. after thirty minutes the meat balls are ready. season with

pepper to taste the whole meal takes a good hour to prepare. mentally bombs are served dinner in a grain rebuilt in seventeen eighty two a colorful salad is the appetizer. then comes the hock to chile. delicious food in rural surroundings isn't all that attracts visitors to the swiss countryside here they can also take a break from the hustle and bustle of urban life. one hundred then you know we also have something to max is turning fifteen years old and in light of this big occasion we've asked you all this week to send in photos showing us how you watch the program we received hundreds of pictures some of which we'd like to share with you now and pay close attention because in the end we announce the winner of a bag of euro max. dying in bed shaking your tablet surfing the internet. all simply watching t.v.
