mint Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Looks good, Clair, and I particularly want to hear from Bocuse because I have heard conflicting reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I've bookmarked the first one. They're very odd timings - are they repeats do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Could it just be the one programme, do you think? I shall be out for the first one this evening. On the other hand, they can't possibly do the subject justice on only the one programme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 My understanding is that this is a one-hour program, repeated several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mme poivre Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hi allJust put the programme on to record on the sky box, just incase, and it wont let me series link it so I think it must be a one off.Judith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I agree as I had no option to set up a season pass on my recorder either. Looks interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 EDIT:Yep my cooking does that to, Ern.Now we see how by the addition of a simple comma, the whole context of the sentance has changed.Now Teapot who does not cook for Ern has explained that his cooking repeats on teapot and other victims.

AnOther Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Twas not the comma which caused the problem teapot but the misspelling of 'too'[quote user="teapot"]Yep my cooking does that to Ern, try some gaviscon [/quote]then becomes 'Yep my cooking does that too Ern, try some gaviscon' which is now perfectly clear and unambiguous [;-)]But I'm being a pedant [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krusty Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 What a boring program ........the opening was enough to put people off French food for life.The birds were traditionally taken alive, force-fed and then drowned in armagnac before being roasted and eaten, bones and all, with a napkin over one’s head.

Hoddy Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I missed the beginning of this, caught the interview with Paul Bocuse and went on to watch the Maigret film. I can't call it a triumph of the film maker's art, but at least he spoke slowly enough for me to understand.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluecat Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Didn't think I'd like this programme especially after the opening sequence but found it to be an interesting concept, marrying the history of France through it's culinaria (excuse the Italian). I think Hussey's voice is absolutely right for this and I've enjoyed the fact that it's his spoken French rather than a translated dialogue we hear.

babcock Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I thought it should have been renamed Paris on a plate because except for a brief outing to Lyon it was essentially about Paris. Also in his statement that couscous is the favorite foreign dish he had evidently overlooked the pizza which is far more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you could do the hard bit and try to explain your bald statement.' a PhD and a professor' so automatically worthy of respect? Again this as is subjective as your assumption that my reaction was any thing to do with his accent.My (subjective) reaction was partly to do with the clumsy expression with an inadequate vocabulary, as well as the 'Willy Russell' academic image.I believe I detected the same thing in French, with quite a few grammatical errors surprising in a 'Professor of French' but there I will of course bow to our French posters.

Must be a lout.Why, out of interest, is it ok for you to be 'subjective' but not anyone else? Perhaps you could try 'the hard bit' and explain why the programme was 'vapid' and how it was 'ill presented' and in what ways the presenter was 'inarticulate' and how his behaviour was loutish?Or, you could just vent spleen and bluster, I suppose.
