Thank you alloallo3 and sadly no, it was / is no joke. At least it was not intended as such....I do agree with you by the way that many people may indeed watch these shows because they are interested in cookery. But the question still arises, why do they like watching cookery and in this from and in such numbers? Clearly, this is not simply a matter of individual interest. There is a material 'something' driving millions and millions of people across Britain, Western Europe and beyond to watch these kinds of programmes.
