What is the name of that one on Food Network I keep drunkenly stumbling upon at 1 in the morning featuring the female presenter with an exaggerated Italian American accent who intersperses cake recipes with faux relationship advice and says things like "now throw it all in the bowl and whip that poo poo up"? That's the best one.

I think that's about it I cant think of any more that id consider worth mentioning theyre all much of a muchness.

If anyone would like to hear my conspiracy theory about Food and Drink's 90s presenter Chris Kelly then please, just ask.





edit: i've also got one about dale winton

I'm interested in the Dale Winton one

The one with the Italian American woman is Bitchin' Kitchen with Nadia G. Someone I know swears it is absolutely hilarious once you get into it but I'm yet to be convinced. Also her accent is actually Italian-French-Canadian I think, it's absolutely bizarre

Because one day in the 90s, from out of nowhere, this orange supercamp guy appeared and took over the TV and started rattling his shopping trollies. I think he decided to adopt a gay demeanor to achieve televisual success.

And fair play to him, I'd do the same.

Graham Norton did the same. Straight as anything on Father Ted and then suddenly "poof!".

There was a really great cooking show called something like "Britain's Worst Cooks" where they had to throw out one dish because they'd washed the salad in the same water they'd defrosted a chicken in or something equally disgusting, it was brilliant. I'd like more programmes about absolutely incompetent people being bad at things. Worst British Bakeoff. Worst Portrait Artist of the Year. Britain's Worst Model.

I'd like that. My favourite bits in the bakeoff are where they get it disastrously wrong, it's glorious. I watched a bit of the Australian one and this one bit where the guy's huge cake is literally crumbling to pieces in his hands as he tried to move it had me in stitches

Yeah, gently caress putting people who are good at things on TV, that's not that entertaining. I want to see someone blindfolded trying to make meringue or having someone try and make a full meal in less than 5 minutes. I would sit and watch that for DAYS.

While we're in cooking show territory, I will have to agree that the Australian Masterchef is much better than the English one. They don't have any of that ridiculous "cooking doesn't get tougher than this" bullshit and everyone seems to actually like each other. Australian Masterchef the Professionals started Monday at 7 and is on daily if you're interested, not sure how this one compares yet though.
We do need an English version of Chopped though.

Fearne Cotton is the single most annoying thing on TV, especially when she tries to play up to her character. I still get a bit mad when I think about how I used to listen to Jo Whiley over lunch and she got replaced by Fearne Cotton

this is the best thing Fearne Cotton has ever been on

Mad enough to leave her threatening messages?

quote:

It was reported in the press[33] on 21 July 2009, that whilst presenting the Radio 1 Chart Show two days previously Cotton had been the target of threatening text messages. These messages had been sent via the station's listener SMS service and seem to relate to Cotton taking over Jo Whiley's show.

I caught it, yup. It was awfully good, the cinematography was stunning, without being overly flashy, and the plot seems solid. Plus, Saga attempting to behave like an standard human being was both amusing and rather touching. I like how she's still appallingly blunt around Martin though, and he's just so very grateful for it, given how everyone is is treating him like he's made of glass.

I think that the eco-terrorists must have another plotter behind them, at least two of them are pitifully naive and we've been given way too much info on them all so early on in the series for them to be anything other than red herrings or fall guys for another group or person. Perhaps the bee-keeping owner of the boat is involved? Or perhaps we'll be seeing more of the Truth Terrorist from series 1. He was properly creepy

Yeah as in the last series it is gorgeous to watch and feels so well made.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping. Maybe like some kind of industry financed backer, as in the ep the news showed that the pharma companies did well from the plague panic.

I wasnt a Jo Whiley by any means but her show was good to listen to at lunch time as she mainly played music and ocasionally had a decent live lounge guest who would do a half decent cover, like Arctic Monkeys doing Love Machine.

Fearne Cotton spent most of her show being Fearne Cotton

I've been really confused as to why the girl who presents 10 O'Clock Live ever had any fans and then I googled her only to find out Jo Whiley is someone even further down my ladder of recognition. loving hell.

Generally speaking is someone vanishes into a loving nether-realm when their first gig ends they probably didn't have much going for them.
