Farmhouse Kitchen - Yorkshire TV 80's

[canadianhoneyinmytea]

That sticky malt loaf looks really good. I would love the recipe for that.

[dazloveskylie]

..and you look at afternoon TV on ITV now... loose women? Dickinson? Ohh give me this any day of the week!

[pugthing]

I loved Farmhouse Kitchen! So much better than all the cookery programmes we're getting shoved down our throats these days! Thanks for posting

[LouishWaltz]

What a duff version of the original theme.

[oakesy68]

ah the 80s the dole and masturbating all day

[neil73]

Ive got munchies now

[keef71]

excuse me i thought farmhouse kitchen was that northern lass dorothy summat? and the theme tune was much better than this, flutes and vibraphones? was this 'farmhouse' for the thrusting yuppie era

[Stratoszero]

Meh, Dorothy Sleightholme was the boss.

[katherine500]

so much better than todays dreadful celebrity chefs

[78rikkers]

oh those were the days -  you could stick a bit of kiwi fruit in anything and make it look good

[Long23]

Intro bloke manages to make "She's *baking* again" sound like a filthy euphemism.

[kawasaki5187]

Sorry to argue powerspade but I'm sure she was called Dorothy Sleightholme

[graciepitch]

The Farmhouse Kitchen Microwave cookbook was written by Jenny Webb, who never featured in the series.

Jenny can be seen on YouTube on the Appliance Historian channel.

[medicdeano]

I think this started in the very early 70's

[powerspade]

Dorothy slieghome was the orginal presenter

[electrogeek77]

"Baking Again" sounds so passive-aggressive.

[cailingaelach1970]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOh, her accent! I love it.

[mistofoles]

Did she have a slight stutter?

[zaftra]

A whole 1:21 mins without mentioning her books, can that be a record? Nicely displayed though.

[harryrochester]

Thanks Grace. I bake only occasionally and need some encouragement so this was particularly helpful for me.

[lillabethsmum]

Don't like this theme as much, its like when acorn antiques them was revamped lol

[doubledeckers]

What a ridiculous voice that announcer has! And I wonder why they changed the theme music?

[sdaonline]

thanks all for the very interesting comments!

[franksmith109]

The BFI database suggests this was the last ever episode. Incidentally, Paul Lally was a co-presenter on the programme in one of its early series. Dorothy Sleightholme was its best known host, but Mary Berry presented for a while too. It was also, briefly, made at Tyne Tees in the early 70s before returning to Kirkstall Rd.

[tyreburster]

Where is Dorothy Sleightholme ? The original and best. Respect to Grace tho'.

[chopchung]

The YTV announcer sounds as bored as can be introducing this-"shes baking AGAIN!!"

[Visonu]

Announcer is Paul Lally

[mrslmathers]

Wow, haven't seen this for years! I remember my mum watching this when I was a kid. It was such a sweet show.

[TheYak4]

this is my grandma still makes fantastic chocolate cakes

sam

[fraserkatie]

Is she your grandma? Wow! her programme rocked! I loved listening to her and watching hw she made great food sound great! Thames showed it at weekday lunchtimes at 2pm I remember!

[borgduck]

@TheYak4 Couldn't make me one?

[burlearth]

I remember this with a better theme tune.

[j4wn]

I know the one, Burl. I was disappointed, nevermind.

[cailingaelach1970]

Oh, how I loved this. And the lovely Scottish accent really added to it. Does anybody have the theme tune from the 70s?

[j4wn]

Cailing, scroll down the related videos on the right of screen and click "Channel 4 continuity into Farmhouse Kitchen" It's on at the very end so skip the first 10 mins.

Dig that funky xylophone.

[cailingaelach1970]

Thank you so much, it's fantastic to hear it again!

[fraserkatie]

I loved this! Watched in the London region!

[magpied70]

I used to watch this at my Grandma's when I was off school on Tyne Tees too. She'd change over to Pebble Mill afterwards I think.

[2DD]

Wewant more... and do you have houseparty too? (not Noel's but the one that had the women visiting and exchanging recipes and knitting tips)

[turkeytreat]

Remember when this would be on when I was off school...Afternoons on Tyne Tees
