Oh- I get it.........of course you cant grow spagetti in Switzerland......its the wrong climate!! Ha ha! Very funny april fools day joke! Spagetti only grows in a warm mediterrainean environment!!
I remember this. It caused a fuss at the time as some people were fooled. Mostly because Richard Dimbleby only ever did serious subjects and was respected for his honesty.
great sense of humor... but because of the date it aired (april fools), I wouldn't think alot of people would've been taken in...maybe they didn't expect it back then...
Yes indeed a super share for tomorrow, it's time this one was redone don't you think, using the original soundtrack, but modern images.!! perfect april fool share. i bet many would fll for it again, I remember it did cause a stir in 1957, with people rushing doewn to garden centres for seeds or plants, people in those days did not world travel other than to blackpool or Tenby hahaha, its so convincing that I can imagine many very many fell for it.The swiss are so clever.lol
lol this was an April fools joke. see if you can find the video of the Australian millionaire who claimed he would bring an iceberg to sydney harbor.

@MissSunshine128
I believe that was the underlying premise for the video, but at the time April Fool's jokes were rare in the media.

British humor, often hilarious for pre-school children in the rest of the world. But professionally well done.
