Delia Smith's Christmas - Episode 4, Part 1

Delia's suggests some Christmas gifts. First broadcast in 1990

[@mayagar6796]

Adore this as it brings back such sweet memories. Is it just me but I start to get a Christmas feeling in June?

[@sunnyshine2215]

This series is so nostalgic, a staple of Christmas

[@ibaisaic]

How things have changed, now it’s the norm to buy Christmas gifts online. I miss the thrill of looking through the big mail order catalogues, filling out your order form and waiting up to 28 days for your items to arrive.

[@suemills9045]

I’ve followed this Christmas video for years and still revert back to it

[@TraceUK]

Same here! Every year

[@kayeuglow2150]

Me too

1990: "I do a lot of my christmas food shopping by post"... 2020: "Tesco click and collect please"... oh how times have changed! 😂😂

[@dinkydink2840]

I remember this series ❤ doesn't seem that long ago lol 😁 how times have changed too. Looking to buy whatever from a catalogue 😱 now it's called online shopping 🛍 brings back great memories 😊

[@annacollier2936]

I used to have this on video, I had it for years but it got lost so I thought I could get it on a DVD, but alas cant get it! Always wait for the repeats of this series round xmas time. I always do a delia xmas and my food turns out to be absolutely delicious! Yes Delia taught me to cook, I got many compliments when I had guests for my xmas dinner. A huge thanks to Delia x

[@sarah9330]

I did as well, I loved watching it and her! Her one chocolate dessert that had a pourable sugar, and I actually made it, was quite sweet

[@j.t.masters1934]

Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@daisyj5837]

I never saw this one! Thank you so much!

[@carolmooney822]

Thank you so much for posting this. I LOVE IT, so nostalgic. I remember my mam watching this all those years ago, I was 11

3:37 Clarissa Dickson-Wright behind the counter at Books for Cooks, which she managed for many years, pre- Two Fat Ladies fame.

[@ah7910]

Incredible. Thank you!

[@redfraggle77]

Brilliant spot! RIP Clarissa!

[@CookwitchCreations]

How I wish I could get the whole series. I love this so much, and yet it is so very hard to find!

[@peefuzz351]

It always used to be in food network, but nothing this year, just hairy bikers and Gordon Ramsay. Not even nigellas Christmas is on.

[@teresaosborne8373]

Lovely to watch ☺

[@peefuzz351]

Love this series. Couldn't find it anywhere on tv this year, so thanks for uploading it.

If you close your eyes, you could imagine a much older, probably retired and contented Lara Croft speaking to you

[@michaelibk418]

Time flies. Ordering by Catalogue instead of online because no Internet back than;-)

[@moonshadow4083]

Ilove this video 😘😘

[@cioccolateriaveneziana]

Wow... What an elegant style of product placement. Also, the soothing pace of the programme is charming to me. If this was Nigella (also nice!), it would be 3x faster and consist of close-ups and shots of something blurred and glittering in the background...

[@adam4757]

So charming!

[@irishinusa1615]

Wow. Stated in the 90s. Ahead of game. I never liked doing that then. Preferred shopping. Made it an outing with sister and friends. Such a shame this was cut short🙄

[@deliasmithfan]

Yes Delia I agree was certainly ahead of the game 30 years ago! will try and upload the next section for you or some other sections.

[@irishinusa1615]

@@deliasmithfan thank you. I have majority of her books. Still cook Roast beef and Turkey her way. After 25 plus years, dosent let me down. Delias Happy Christmas book gave to friends and gifted to our 2 daughters this year. All love it🥰👍

[@ventibreeze6648]

Mail order lol how quaint!

[@yarisar8105]

I saw a video of yours which was made in 78, that year was also of my birth, today I have a desire in my heart to see what you look like in 2023 today.

[@reginamariniello1558]

Thanks Delia 🌹🌹🌹

[@annieanonymous611]

Delia doing her bit to kill the High Street before the Internet :-)

[@user-yd6sj3pe4j]

High street shopping center in England In Ceylon residential areas

[@andrewscott2893]

Is that a cameo from Clarissa Dickson Wright at 3:36? I believe Books for Cooks was her shop.

[@joanbroad3528]

Good grief!
