The word according to Saint Barry of Cryer

I’ve a lot of time for Barry Cryer. He was rather wasted as one of the panellists on an otherwise uninspiring Radio 4 6.30 comedy show last night. On the subject of celebrity chefs, he related how at the end of the Fanny Craddock show, viewers used to be invited to write in and request copies of the featured recipes.

Or as the announcer phrased it one week, “Please write in for a recipe, if you want your doughnuts to look like Fanny’s.”
