The host Jim Bowen said later on that the guests were offered a cash prize worth the same as the grand prize if they didn't want it.

I loved the show but jim bowen was an Awful T.W.A.T. and i could never stand him...i used to think he deliberately put contestants off by his incessant talking

His voice is brilliant...listern to willow the wisp if you cant sleep.

No better quiz show host imo. RIP Jim

The music is scary enough. Also, as though a woman would turn down a dance date with Spader 😂❤❤

I don't think this guy is funny at all.

This video should really come with a disclaimer stating, 'Preparation of this product as demonstrated could be hazardous to your health!' I'm certain that the germ theory of infection and kitchen cross-contamination protocols had been fairly well established by 1975. It's amazing then to watch this woman give a turkey the massage of its life(or death), inject a veritable 'enema' of stuffing into every orifice she could find before passing the carcass off to her assistant, and then begin her next assault on a poor goose, all without ever pausing to rinse her hands or do even a superficial cleaning of her work surface. That distant groaning sound you hear is Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur simultaneously turning over in their graves! I wouldn't want to be the next one to use that kettle to boil water for my Earl Grey cuppa, and as for that jar of honey, let's just say that I pity the poor soul who spreads it on their toast the next morning after it had been incubating salmonella and clostridium for 24 hours. Sure, honey has anti-microbial properties, but would you really want to be the one to test that out? "What's our word for the day Captain Kangaroo?" "So glad you asked, Mr Greenjeans...it's 'enteritis!" Having cross-contaminated four more birds after the turkey hit job, she finally gave her hands a cursory wipe, but at this point, why even bother, because let's face it, the damage has already been done, right? Well, not entirely. This Yuletide Hiroshima, this disco-era precursor of 'Outbreak' and 'Contagion', continued as she dissected and presumably contaminated an already cooked bird. Yes, even Typhoid Mary would've turned green with envy! I'm reminded of stories our high school Latin teacher used to tell of how the ancient Romans placed their version of the toilet(really just an indoor 'outhouse') right next to the kitchen for all the household, including the kitchen slaves, use. Some 1800 years before the germ theory of infection(and toilet paper), you can just imagine those slaves, after doing nature's business, going back to preparing the family meal without a thought of hand washing. It's entirely plausible that a quarter of Rome was ill with e--coli and other enteric infections at any given time. The Romans at least had an excuse for their ignorance. I wonder what Fanny's was? I get it that this was only for entertainment purposes for mid-70s wannabe gourmands, but I wonder how many bottles of Pepto Bismol needn't have been consumed, how many forests destined to become toilet paper rolls could've been saved and how many hospital ER visits might have been avoided had the BBC shown just a little kitchen asepsis and some good old fashioned handwashing?

If Longlegs had a cooking show

“It wouldn’t make friends would it?” Don’t get yourself into a tizzwazz

There's never been anything else in entertainment like Sir Les. So many layers of comedy going on. The visual, verbal and physical performance is perfect.

I’m sorry, but that thing looks like a turd that was dropped by a T-Rex.

honey to turkey back to honey someone arrest this person

Brilliant .. seems like yesterday.

I can remember this as if it was yesterday..

i remember when she was making ring donuts and Johnny says, if you follow the recipe then yours will look like Fannys..😂

My grandad had a Qualcast concorde lawn mower and when he use to mower front garden he used to let use the Qualcast concorde

That aggressively made omelet looks stomach churningly terrible. And then to be dusted off with a blizzard of icing sugar. One doesn’t know if it’s dessert or a main course or just meant to be tossed in the bin, of course, at sharp angles, to one another as you do so

Family Fortunes was a shambles with Bygraves at the helm

😧😦🤢

Fantastic,

That opening theme... So nostalgic

I worked in the London Ambulance Service many many years ago and one night around 2am we were returning from a hospital to our station. At the side of the road was a police car that had obviously pulled over the Rolls in front of it. The policeman, who we knew well, flagged us down . He was trying to hold it together but was having trouble. “ Its Milligan “ he’s croaked , “ Come and have a look “ Driving the car was Peter Sellers and in the boot was Spike Milligan , with a torch and a piece of chalk ! Evidently, the car had developed a squeak in the boot so he persuaded Sellers to drive him around Hampstead so he could find it …. I met him several times in Hampstead and he was charming and respectful, often sad as his depression ‘ got to him ‘. He will be sadly missed.

Tina, with her Lady Di haircut was cute

Monkhouse was a professional game show host, Bygraves was amusingly amateurish

She was back on tv on Bbc red button (channel 601) this Christmas. I always look forwards to it. The booklet fetches around 100 on Ebay😮 so its still popular and like gold dust. She was very good though at cooking

Too bad the last 2 questions weren't these: - Name a country on the Mediterranean - Another word for 'loser'

Well, this is the star prize, but let’s see what you could’ve won 🙄

Her lovely pink dress must have been I tatters after all that bird prep.

nobody holds a microphone like alvin

When men didn’t need to whine and whinge and drop their panties to perpetrate Male Rapey attacks.

What an old bag. Poor sarah.

soccer? ffs

1 min 11 - the winner (seated) gives the loser the wnaker sign under the desk...

If only she had a booklet or something so that I could read or follow along with her. 😢

@29:57 THANK YOU!!! I haven't laughed that hard in decades!!! THANK YOU!!! You're an angel!

Poor sarah. You cant help feeling sorry for her.

Bob Monkhouse he ain't.

he doesn't look to be in his late 30s.. vim and vigour of a 20 year old

The top prize sometimes was a Speedboat That will look good in your back garden miles away from the sea😀😀😀😀

'I'm no women's lib, don't think for a moment, I'm not such a clot' 😂

The carving instructions are really handy.

Is the parsons nose a uk thing because I’ve never seen one on a turkey here in the states. Also did all the homes in the uk have gas ranges? Because she keeps mentioning gasmark which I researched and is a temperature setting for ranges

Mincemeat Tacos for Everyone!

Is it me or is that chicken raw still....

Suggesting "if you are deaf use a skewer" 😂😂😂

The Martha Stewart of her era.

'Lubricating the dry bird' 😅😂

Think she was a deeply insecure lady who turned her insecurity into aggression

Who was the deputy hardmaster at bushey hall? Mr craddock.

She is so patronising, i love it. Very very 'arsh
