Denise emailed me to say that “Nation’s Favourite Christmas Food” (which REG narrated) will be shown this week. It’s not yet known whether the particular programme on Wednesday night is a repeat or not, as I’ve had conflicting reports. However, details are:

Wednesday 17 December
8:00pm
BBC2
Nation’s Favourite Christmas Food

Saturday 20 December
9:00am
BBC2
The Nation’s Favourite Christmas Food (repeat)

Wednesday 24 December
3:55am
BBC1
Sign Zone:The Nation’s Favourite Christmas Food (this one has signing for the deaf)

“Christmas pudding, roast goose, mince pies – which dish will come top of the Nation’s Christmas foodie countdown? We reveal your top eleven Christmas choices for the nation’s yearly gastronomic blow out.

Celebrity chefs argue about the fine art of trifle making, are scandalised that roast chicken appears on the list, and share some of their own seasonal recipes.

In a period when each of us crams in enough calories to walk from Lands End to John O’Groats, we celebrate the foods we will all be tucking into during the Queen’s speech.

It’s a festive feast with all the trimmings, narrated by Richard E Grant.”

So get those VCR’s ready if you haven’t seen this one already!
