This was not always the case. We use to buy veal ham and egg pie (Gala Pie) from a butcher who made his own. You'd sometimes get a slice with the rounded smaller ends of the egg sometimes with no yolk at all 😔. I guess this process was for larger commercial outlets and super market provision counters.
I think what you're describing here is technological advancement. At one time we were NOT able to land a man on the moon. And perhaps more importantly, there was a time when gala pies did NOT have a continuous egg running through them.
I heard some chef talking about this a couple of years ago he said casing is I fact sausage skins - a cylinder shaped one for the yolk and a ring shape for the white

Not for my grandfather, who died a slow painful death from lung cancer in 1981! ... Maybe you have a different definition of "happy?" ... The smoking ban was the best law ever!
@@marcse7en if he died in 81, that was the period when the dangers of cigarettes were just coming to the for front. I started smoking in 79...... stopped 7 years ago. I think you miss the point. We (as kids) were exposed to many things.....now kids (and society on a whole) are "protected" to much.
Proper children's television. Fred Dinenage & Jack Hargreaves; absolute legends.
how
Wonderful programme. Loved Jack Hargreaves (and his 'Out Of Town' programme) Fred, Jon Miller and Bunty James. Fabulously educational and fun.
Thank you for this. This was one of my favourite ITV programs growing up!
The greatest countdown presenter they never had
Rumour has it they spoke to him but he turned it down.
Super upload ... I loved this show when I was a kid .. Fred is still god! .. TY!

@@genwoolfe ooooh I could crush a grape...
Agree mate. The Tomorrow People, The Changes, Out of Bounds, Sky, The Kids from 47a...it was quality all the way
There is only one word for Fred Legend
Happy 80th birthday 🎂🎉🍾🥳 Fred Dineage
wow - the legend Fred Dinenage now age 77 and still hosting ITV Meridean News
ikr. But I only watch it for weathergirl, Holly Green. She sends my heart into the flutter, every time.
@@rob16248 - She's a dog!
@@rob16248 holly is very attractive, unfortunately she is on maternity at the moment 👶
@@jakethemuss5678 ...Again (sigh)😒
I do wish their put these shows on dvd.
This is the best clip I've seen all week.

No yolk? 😭
Utterly lovely! Fabulous TV. Playful and informative.
What a pity 50 years later, everything is “dumbed down “ to suit the lowest common denominator.
How very true.
PLUS the ever-present risk of offending someone! Somewhere! Over something! Which doesn't exist! Progress, eh?
how interestomg.
this is my first ever memory
Jack lived in our village. Often seen in the pub.
HOW ... many times was Jack Hargreaves seen in the pub? 🤣
Fred bore a passing resemblance to my (crazy, fun) uncle - for years I thought they were both the coolest dudes on the Planet. AND I WAS RIGHT!
That's cool
The true glory of How, we now realise, was Jack smoking his pipe all the way through it.
Also at that time Fred hosted the pontoon based quiz Gambit.
Did Jimmy Tarbuck host that show after...Jesus I'm getting old..stop I don't like it.
@@copee2960 No the late Tom O Connor replaced Fred as the host of Gambit.
the days of "Magpie", "How" and intellligent broadcasting aimed at younger people are long behind us. Thats why we have "love island" today.
Well said ! 🔝
Don't recall seeing Love Island on CITV but there we are
@@chloejones1548 Give it time, and it will be 'Trans Love Island' on CITV.
Damn it Fred I've missed you.
She did look quite excited about the 32".
I think she fancied him.

Who is the lady that isn't Bunty James?

I thought the same ! Great comment
How many times can a sheet of paper be folded in half?
Eight!

Smoking on a kids TV show....Happy days

She looks fascinated by that egg bit phallic.
Loved this series as a kid. Actually taught kids stuff rather than what followed which was an era of gunge and more gunge and nothing intelligent.
