Another silly programme.

It was the law, any other way and the gravy police called round 'for a word'.

We had a York range till the back end of the 50s, so cooked with coal or logs. What eventually became the kitchen was more a scullery with a big pot sink and a cedar draining board. The washing machine was a big round tub with a paddle and the mangle clamped on to the draining board.

1960s next.

You might have, Vic, she obviously didn't.

Maybe I have super powers, NOT, but I find it hard to believe that people are so useless that they (four of them) cannot work out how a can opener works.

My God, I am loving this!

The family don't have an atom of practical ability between them, but then he's a lecturer and she's a teacher of some sort.

Watching them preparing vegetables had me reaching for the First Aid kit screaming "Keep them away form sharp and pointy things!"

And if you cannot 'cook' a Vesta meal by the time you are out of nappies it's time to give up.

[Workingman]

Bump.

[Workingman]

She's still not very good with can openers.... or gravy! And I did wonder last night if he was actually playing the part of 'modern man let loose in the kitchen' a bit too realistically, because if he normally cooks (as he claims to do) the way he did then it is no wonder they are all like stick insects.

Need to catch up with this on iplayer, if it's still available

[Workingman]

It is......

..... but wrap the remote in bubble wrap and keep Mick away from it.

I have been loving this programme - they are both so useless!

I'm half way through the 1980's one - the girls had just had their friends round for soda stream drinks and cheese toasties.

And she struggled with a can opener again!
