    I still watch them at least once a year. The show is one of my comfort series. I miss them and their banter so much. I miss Clarissa’s history lessons and Jennifer’s crazy stories about her youth.

      I do it even more than that. I once had to be hospitalized (pre-Covid) and binge-watched them while hooked up to numerous machines. 'Twas the only thing which allowed me to drift off to sleep. Their voices were extremely comforting. They really twinkled in this interview!

      I got introduced to them later in life unfortunately… Clarissa and Jennifer were no longer with us when I discovered them but… I would have considered it an EXTREME honor to have talked to them at least just once. I am thankful they left us so many videos to look back on and keep their memories alive.

      There is a part of me that wishes they would do a show like two fat ladies. Not a reboot by any means, you can’t reboot these two they were One of a kind. But something I liked about their show was how they went from location to location throughout the UK. You kind of got to survey the various counties and such, Which for those of us in the states was wonderful because we got to Learn more about the country. I would love to see a show like that again. Two cooks Going from town to town county to county.

    Jennifer seems to be monopolizing the scene, must have been some tension about this during their partnership. Clarissa must be quite a good sport and willing to play second fiddle. Would have loved more of the cultural time pocket of treasury.

      I read Clarissa's autobiography. She said that Jennifer was essentially an alcoholic, whereas Clarissa was a recovering alcoholic. She said it became tiresome for Jennifer to recount the same old stories again and again (due to the drink), so Clarissa had probably heard what Jennifer said here many times before.

      Many people who knew Jennifer well said she required ALL the attention of everyone in whatever room she was in. People loved using her to cater their parties because all she asked for was a large whiskey and a lot of attention.

      Clarissa in an interview said, (and I watched it) that when they met she wasn’t sure if she liked Jennifer but that when they got in the kitchen they just fell into a wonderful relationship as though they had known each other for years. There you have the story from the true source.

      @@adambomb30 Her sister wasn’t bitter she was forthright and honest that Clarissa stole money intended for the 3 siblings when their mother died. She also smeared their father as a wife beater when not a single person who knew the family backed up her claims. How would you feel if your alcoholic sister trashed your dad in the press when he couldn’t defend himself and the. blew through 2.3 million pounds on trying to impress men who wanted nothing to do with her ?? Sorry Jennifer had to put up with her when she clearly could have done the show solo.
