The only pretence is that it's a programme about cooking.

It's car crash comedy.

Every programme is cast with disparate people, they hope won't get on.

Though the Mayoress seemed to get on with at least one other person, and his twin, when she had both their tongue sandwiches down her throat at the same time.

On further reflection - does Carole remind you of Victoria Wood, as she was in Acorn Antiques. (she likely intended you to

)

(PS - so the joke is on you for taking it seriously)

I think she seemed good fun.

I liked her.

Though I wouldn't like to hear her fart, or have her belch in my face, if l was tucking into my tea.

Life's short.

I much prefer people that spend that life laughing, rather than spending their time on this mortal coil being buttock clenchingly uptight.

Though the Mayoress probably could do with a few yoga exercises, so she had a little more sphincter control, for those times when letting rip isn't such a good idea.

East Lancashire has some of the best freaks in the country.

The farting mayoress, the uptight BNP supporting plumber, the orange 'n' sleazy Teasy-Weasy.

It was never going to be Master Chef.

Freaky.

Cringeworthy.

Hilarious.

Happily I'm someone who doesn't pigeonhole people who happen to share a geographical location.

Which means I can still proudly state where I come from.

Freak out.

You not invited G

Some soft sap television producer would be after putting Pipinfart, Fleshy, naggy Maggie, and myself round a dinner table. Hoping there'd be disagreements, and fireworks, before the horse doofers had even been served. In order to rival last night's feast of freakishness.

They'd be disappointed.

We'd get on like a house on fire.

The other three would come to a civilised decision that my black pudding ice-cream had been a triumph, and make me the winner, and we'd all go home happy.

Unlike the programme makers. Who'd been hoping for some more Lancastrian culinary carnage.

I was introduced to the Premier of South Australia some years ago,when he visited our workshop.
What do you do around here, says he
As little as possible says i
Me too says my mate
He gave us a blank stare and walked away, and a voice from behind shouted out .
JUST LIKE YOU BASTARDS!
