I spent the last two evenings watching episodes of the Two Fat Ladies that I rented from Netflix. They are just as insane as I remember. I'm constantly surprised by the number of innuendos they were able to throw out there and still have this show shown on US PBS :D

Oh, I loved the Two Fat Ladies! And how they unabashedly used butter and full cream and made REAL FOOD. Such a shame they didn't make more episodes before Jennifer Paterson died.

A while back, I saw a show where Clarissa Dickson-Wright used recipes from the oldest cookbook (in England or in existence, I can't remember). It was Henry II's cookbook and she made several dinners for historians, food critics and friends and they rated the food according to their modern sensibilities and discussed the historiocity (I know, not a word) of each dish. It was very interesting, but I doubt it will make it to these shores.

ETA: Sorry, it was Richard II. And here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuvbtFOm01o
