The Isolation Creations are the work of Jamie Honeybourne and Alan Gibbons - two comedy actors living in Scarborough and out of work thanks to the pandemic. Instead of whinging and bingeing they got creative!
"The Isolation Creations started when we were put in lockdown in March 2020 due to CV19! We live in Scarborough, UK and as comedy actors we found ourselves with no jobs, no money, no bookings but loads of creativity and a great big bag of wigs which was just going to waste! Every week we recreate, reimagine and remake our favourite movies, TV shows and pop culture moments starring us! It has kept us safe, sane and silly in what would otherwise be a really difficult time."

I laughed when pink sprinkle cake appeared

[@kentuckianaboy]

“Rubbed my face afterwards w a rancid smelling dishcloth.” Bloody Hell!

[@simonjones7727]

Very funny. A case of "Ooooh, you are offal....but I like you!"

[@4oclocktimefortea794]

Yes! There was always someone walking around holding hands with the dinner lady in the playground - I’d forgotten that and it made me laugh out loud! You are both so brilliant!

[@sdm3447]

I can't believe I am about to say this, but I was one of those children. I always thought I held this shame in isolation, until I saw an episode of Will & Grace where Grace was talking about those weird kids at school, the sort who "always hung around with the lunch lady". I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up.

[@4oclocktimefortea794]

Bless you! That probably means you are kind and gentle. I think I must have been greedy and a desperado as I used to sneak back to the kitchen and pretend to be starving to get second helpings of lemon meringue/apple pie - my favourites! @@sdm3447

[@jpv5139]

Big square cheese flan! 😂😂😂 Takes me back. I remember grey chicken supreme, green custard on chocolate sponge, and the pinkest milkshake. You two are ace, but dear Peggy always steals the show for me. ❤

[@sdm3447]

"Wheel in the big telly". That genuinely made me roar out loud. A lot. Too much, possibly. The kids today will never know the joy of sitting crossed legged in the small hall, staring up at a TV screen in a faux wood cabinet, bolted to some scaffolding on a set of industrial castors that wouldn't look out of place in a modern day IKEA showroom. Also some of the mums and grandmothers waiting to pick up their kids used to come into the hall to surreptitiously watch "Sons & Daughters" if they were early and it was pissing down with rain. It was even more of a thing when I went to senior school, because the numerous arson attacks on said school meant that most of our teaching took place in old huts and portacabins, so seeing two prefects and the laboratory assistant trundling a TV across the car park was nothing unusual. And the reason it took three of them? Two to push the frigger up the wheelchair ramp into the classroom, and one to steady the VHS video recorder on the the shelf underneath (God forbid it should fall off and smash, as they cost an absolute fortune back then). It was even worse getting it all down the ramp. But moving on...I can accept the fact that several items on the food list must have been universal across the national school meal menu (I recall well spam fritters, square cheese pie, mash served with an ice-cream scoop, and chocolate concrete with pink custard - we had all that at junior school), but what I can't get my head around are the dinner ladies at 0:28 and 2:46, as these are the spitting image of Doreen and Glenys respectively who were supervisors in our school hall. Indeed, Glenys could often be spotted walking to the school gates with a ciggie in her hand, which she'd toss to the ground still burning on her way in. Our plates at junior school were blue and made from the same material as the lavatory seats, only thinner. And they were always scalding hot too (the plates, not the bog seats). I remember this as I dropped one when I was six and it shattered into several sharp pieces once it hit the floor. So not only could we get burned, but we could also get third degree lacerations, but this being the 1980s the only thing that happened was I got thoroughly bollocked by Mrs Marsh for dropping the plate in the first place. I was also one of the kids who held hands with the dinner lady. I always thought I held this shame in isolation, until I saw an episode of Will & Grace where Grace was talking about those weird kids at school, the sort who "always hung around with the lunch lady". I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up. I think the dinner ladies from my time at senior school deserved a medal for putting up with us, when I think of all the things we did, such as adjusting the flow valves on the mobile MaxPax drinks machine, so that when the dinner lady pressed the dispense button the cup overflowed with boiling water, like something from the story of the "Magic Porridge Pot". We also used to rig the legs on the trestle tables so they would fold at the slightest touch...I seem to recall that Olive with the boot-polish black hair practically shat herself every time she dropped her trusty dishcloth onto a table, only for it to collapse with an almighty bang before her eyes. I'd beg for forgiveness if it weren't for the fact I still think it was hilarious. If anyone watching this video thinks it's an exaggeration of 80s school meals, you're very, very wrong...this is barely a parody, more so a re-enactment. And now I need to wee. You can't laugh this much in your mid 40s and not need to wee.

❤❤❤❤

[@WillVenusASMR]

Manchester tart!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mimulus2717]

I from the states and went to parochial school with no hot lunch or lunch ladies. I really feel like I missed out on a character building experience. Although the rancid dishcloth is universal.

[@grumpy_poo]

🤣😂

[@startpoorgetrich2132]

Most of these lunches look a lot better than what most of public schools in the states served. Repulsive, plastic-flavored chunks of technically-edible substance.

[@stephenguppy7882]

I remember such delicacies as spam fritters and tapioca pudding, hungarian goulash, roast stuffed heart, chocolate sponge and green custard. This is so funny. Good one, lads.😂👍

[@lectorintellegat]

Oh my word, iced sprinkle cakes. It’s like you reached back 30 years with that one! It was the smell about 9.30am wafting down the halls. Amazing. Shortbread and roast dinner. Oh… and the big telly… how apoplectic did you get with excitement when that came out!!

[@sdm3447]

At junior school, our big telly on wheels was always kept in the small hall, indeed I have no idea why it was on wheels at all. The computer (note: THE computer, as in singular) did get wheeled about on a long trolley, and the excitement of hearing the rumble of a trolley in the corridor getting closer and closer and thinking we were going to get the computer could only be matched by the undiluted disappointment of seeing the door swung open by Mrs Newbury the classroom assistant, pushing her ancient overhead projector into the room so as to do draw some more wall art. I was nine years old before I realised the woman had no artistic talents, and that all she did was use a marker pen on the wallpaper to go over a projected image. Gutted I was, I'm telling you, gutted.

[@happyandblessed5640]

HA! Brilliant! Here's my order Ding Dong. Bolognese and white noodle things, they tasted nice but no shop sells them. Chocolate tart with a pear on top. Anyone remember that?

[@PupRiku]

If I can have squares of jam sponge and thick custard delivered I'll take it every day. I had a sudden memory of my Primary School trying to be posh giving us "Marquis Potatoes"...they tried...they were bad haha

[@zoeschofield]

Anaemic Liver! 😂 Takes me back to the early 80s at primary school 😂

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Lemme guess the Manchester Tart is an acquired taste. 😅 Definitely colorful though.🪅

[@michaelwebster8577]

The Boy from Space - brilliant

[@ashleyCNesbitt]

Inspirational. Come up to Ayrshire and serve me some battered pork n’ onion pie 🥧 Braw.

[@claymitchell2335]

Offal surprise. Yes. Absolutely!

[@carolineibbetson5395]

Absolutely fab x like ve Toby le rhone and Gwyn Reeper xxx what a poignant moment walking hand in hand with a dinner lady xxx

[@SoulFaeWorld]

A slightly vacant assistant lol. Ding dong dinner ladies. Gwyn reaper lol love the name. This is hilarious spoof 😅 thank you for this 👍🏻👏🏻

[@brettgibson8558]

Oh my god, I had all these dinner ladies at my school, and all those bloody dinners, especially the cheesy flan thingy, cooked within an inch of its life and swimming in its own grease. Such memories, thanks guys.

[@iangrice329]

Lol 😂 so glad i went home for dinner.

[@StuAcker]

My fave school dinner was crust pie with potato bricks. There was also lard omelette and river of beans (and chewy green nubs for vegetarians...)

[@claymitchell2335]

Lucky!

[@augabby7]

2 arteries in the liver ugh!!! This is brilliant😂🤣😅

[@rieniekramer1912]

Two artery tunes in my liver ... how revolting ,,, luv you ladies ❤❤

[@robertspalmsprings]

Always good for a laugh! Thank you boys from Palm Springs California

[@claymitchell2335]

The ciggy had me laughing!

[@sdm3447]

While I will say I never saw a dinner lady smoking while on duty, many would be seen puffing away as soon as their shift was over - they didn't even wait to leave the playground before sparking up. Our classroom assistant was another one, this being the early 80s, always the first off the coach on a school trip to light a ciggie and I still have clear memories of her in a blue anorak, clipboard clutched in her left arm, ciggie dangling between the fingers of her right hand, as she used her little finger to head count us all off the bus..."I've got ash in my fringe, Mrs Newbury!" "Oh shut up, it won't kill you".

[@gardengate1339]

Other than the accent, this was small town Louisiana lunch ladies in the 60's. The only thing missing is hairnets and lumpy chocolate pudding.

[@10beanz]

Two artery tubes in my serving of liver. Yummy! 😋

[@standrewpics]

Oh how lovely ! Takes me back . I remember being forced to eat liver at primary school . A horrible experience for me . Thankfully we have getter food choices these days. I liked the YTS assistant . Probably many illegal workers , working these days instead .

[@robertsmith5970]

Mmmm gorgeous memories of early 80s School scrummies ! A shame you have no greasy fried bread with a thin layer of greasy congealed scrambled egg that can be picked up in one piece.

[@Bevity]

I love you guys SO MUCH!

[@karenavey2183]

Harmony St. Regis is stunning!

[@danielderozarieux8832]

Excellent. Brought back memories. Slab of cheese flan was my favourite

[@sdm3447]

I liked the flan too.

[@claymitchell2335]

Now, come on! What did ole Bett ever do to you?

[@djjaseuk]

Just roared at Manchester Tart!

[@dameaustel]

This is hilarious!

[@RussellBury]

ooooh i hope they do chicken supreme, the one with the naturally square pieces of hard chicken style substances that you can continually enjoy the repeating tastes of throuought the rest of the day, evening and following morning and occasionaly months after, oh and and a bowl of something pink and almost not runny albeit the conspicuous lump sat within that does not delump when poked or prodded for desert.

[@TheSpinDoctor]

I bloody LIVED for chicken supreme being on the menu. I’m sure it took a month to digest, mind.

[@scottdavenportmckay]

Gwyn Reaper 😂

[@vanadisleeson132]

I actually felt slightly nauseous again as I saw these: that pink sprinkle cake and horror of horrors, the spam fritter (which I did actually throw up all over the battleaxe lunchtime supervisor - so got into trouble for not finishing it and for making a mess!) 😅😅😅

[@lukeporritt4179]

I love Gwyn Reaper 😂

[@brownsugar163]

Doing dong dinner ladies dishes are simply Divine and delicious. 😅😅😅😅

[@coraldaft6382]

Do Ding Dong Dinner ladies have any older ladies-from the 1960/70’s era ? Though guessing as I’m in my sixties any left would be using a smilier service themselves-not cooking horrendous dinners😂 Given me some great ideas for Paul’s menu this week 🥘🥧🍛🦴😂😂

[@robertbarnier45]

Anemic Liver was a big favourite. I’m looking online for the recipe. Aussie Bob ❤️❤️

[@zanducktv2398]

[@tracy30]

Loved it so much ❤

[@TraceySusanMixedMedia]

The extra tubes in the steak pie yes I remember those and the ghastly spam fritters dripping in lard yuck lol 😆

[@user-db6wv4rd9m]

Love Bird’s custard! Not sure about the Manchester Tart, although the marinade might make a difference, 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦

[@pedanticradiator1491]

My mam was a dinnerlady or mid day supervisor at the rival junior school to the one my brother and I attended

[@pedanticradiator1491]

Possibly one of the reasons i hated school dinners so much was the fact that my 2 parents and my paternal grandma were such good cooks. My other grandma wasnt as good in fact her meals werent too different from school ones. My brother and I have to some degree inherited our parents culinary skills

[@marycaparro6883]

I am from America and didn’t have the opportunity to encounter a Dinner Lady or enjoy their food, but I thought the entire video was hilarious. I did eat school lunches back in the day, but they were nothing like what was shown in the video and the school lunch lady was nothing like Dinner Ladies. 😂😂😂

[@grumpy_poo]

I loved the cheese pie and semolina for afters... ( always seconds )... we never got chips or roast spuds... you must have gone to a posh school...our lukewarm tap water was in a metal jug and we had metal beakers.😆

[@gareth3152]

Harmony haaaa

[@pxn748]

Asking as an American. Ok, so who is the Manchester Tart?

[@TheSpinDoctor]

Julie Goodyear playing Bet Lynch in “Coronation Street”, specially in 2002-ish when she came back. She was in it about 25 years from the late 60s and looked more and more like a drag queen each passing year.

[@texofplergux5953]

Not being from the UK I have not experienced the true originals. But having traveled there and experienced th cuisine as well as remembering some of these staples of the era from my own area; lumpy mash and knife and fork gravy sounds great but "lukewarm tap water" made me gag a little 😂

[@beverlyfish9654]

Oh, this was a great video. Some of those desserts looked tasty ❤🎉 the dog...omg lol

[@joshSpencerUK]

We didn't have this stuff. I was post Jamie Oliver. 😂😂

[@james7149]

Love you guys, so talented and always make my day a happy one! 👏🤗

[@NibblesandBubbles]

Ahhh memories! Brilliant job guys! So much work must go into videos like this ❤

[@danphillips84]

Amazing! Loved this!

Brilliant job again lads 😁

[@claymitchell2335]

Loved it!

[@smoothsailing75]

😂😂😂❤️

[@pedanticradiator1491]

At infants school our dinners came from a central kitchen facility then heated up and were awful. When i went to junior school they were slightly better though we had a right bitch of a dinnerlady who didnt like me as i wouldnt eat peas (still dont) or the terrible soggy chips. Secondary school was much better

[@claymitchell2335]

Seko pudding? Sounds kinda familiar. I'm a Canadian. Did you clever buggers in Merry Ole England manage to ship the uneaten portions over here?

[@pedanticradiator1491]

Sago

[@particlecloud]

Well that brings back unhappy memories from the mid 1960's. I used to nearly puke over spam fritters. I had an actual recurring nightmare about the cheese pie. They did a sausage pie that had minimal meat blended into an awful lot of cereal padding. Another puke-inducing creation that was a regular fixture. I can't remember what I ate last week but utterly revolting school meals from 60 years ago are burned deep into my hind brain. Most of all, l remember the cabbage.We used to come out at morning break and smell that they'd already started boiling it into oblivion. It was dished out with the same type of scoop as the mash whether you wanted it or not. So soft by now that it fortmed a perfect cohesive dome. If we wanted to leave any food we had to take the plate to the dinner lady for permission. Leave too much and you'd be sent back to eat more. Kids would be desperately patting down the cabbage, trying to make it look small enough that we'd be let off the hook. You'd think they'd have got the message that kids don't like cabbage but no, it was relentless. It took me decades to even try it again. I quite like it now.
