    Fanny Craddock looked like a cross between Margaret Thatcher and Bette Davis in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

    How the hell did chat shows get from this to someone like Gemma Collins on the sofa. 😂

      It’s a reflection of the way television has gone so 💩now. Cheap Chat shows like Jonathon Ross, Graham Norton are all about getting as many cheap laughs as possible , not about asking intelligent questions. Also with so many Celebrities having zero talent it’s shows how low we have sunk with the likes of Gemma Collins and Stacey Solomon

    This is superb, again I have to say this, there was so much good about Mrs Cradock, who she never legally was!
    So much negativity. The Gwen Troake incident was written by a BBC 'script artist.'
    Aunty Beeb, as Terry Wogan used, wanted to introduce a new face, a young girl/lady called Delia.
    Fanny has to be celebrated!

    • @Knappa22
      @Knappa22 6 років тому +14

      Gwen Troake was the intransigent one anyway. She flatly refused to take on anything Fanny suggested because she wanted to serve up her rich creamy stodge in all three courses. Apart from the over-dramatics, Fanny was spot-on in her advice to Mrs Troak.

    Bloody shame she didn’t write books as she woulda been rich and not ended up in a old people’s home. As it’s books that make the millions, Delia got her millions and Jamie got his millions from books hence why Jamie never stops writing them. If you can sell a book as it’s wholly your idea you’ll earn a fortune if it’s a best seller. Shame Fanny gave her recipes away for free in booklets on BBC. It’s why song writers earn more than the singer.
