Two Fat Ladies: The Compleat Fourth Series
Aaaah.
There is something so magnificent about the way in which Jennifer Paterson enjoys a glass of wine and a cigarette at the end of each episode, bringing each to her mouth with long, crooked fingers, punctuated by knobbly knuckles and tipped with red lacquered fingernails.
Pleasant-looking but woefully bland presenters of generic lifestyle shows have dominated our television screens for far too long, along with eating-disordered celebrities and celebrity chefs. It’s refreshing to rejoice in the unapologetic bountifulness of these two self-assured grand dames of good, old-fashioned cooking and their natural, matter-of-fact presentation.
Join Clarissa Wright-Dickson and Jennifer Paterson as they hop aboard the motorbike and side-car, and take their unique blend of culinary know-how and comic repartee on the road to interesting locations. The recipes, like the women themselves, are robust and no-nonsense fare.
