I feel Steven's pain. I feel it every time I try to make a decent salad. I know it's good for me and good for my family. But, Good Lord, it's so hard. I Love you, Mr Fry.
@feuchster Cooking shows are usually filled with very polite and pleasant banter so this is funny because this cooking show host has no charm and his mood is not only ruining the salad but the hypothetical viewer wouldn't learn how to make anything so you have the added comedy of imagining some poor old woman who just wanted a nice salad and instead is being shouted at through her television set and still has no cocking food to eat!
Hehehe. For those who don't know, the men he mentioned (Eric Cantona, Linford Christie and Stephen Hendry) were great sports stars, not theatre actors.

@ChillyMan5 Q - "is this real, and if not what was he doing this for?"
A - Steven Fry used to be in a very popular comedy show double act with Hugh Laurie (the program was aptly named 'A bit of Fry and Laurie'. This is a sketch from it. If you are amused by it I would highly recommend typing A bit of Fry and Laurie into the search bar and checking out a few of their many brilliant sketches.
Maybe that's where I'm going wrong: I'm an awful sous chef. Can't cut things consistently no matter how hard I try. I'll just get mad next time. Thanks Stephen :)
This is brilliant! I actually had to make salad for my job the other day and the entire time I was giggling to myself because of this video. <3 Stephen :)
Sod-buggering on a lardy carpet and poorly-behaved tomatoes... seems perfectly reasonable to me. A complex man and a lovely human being (I've said it and if Stephen reads this, he must accept it as truth. Yes, truth.. even though I am being followed by his cake for more than a month, now). Stephen, I'm a square john broad and could care less about celebrity: you are a lovely man.
'Reminds', or 'is lifted from'? Of course, because it's Stephen Fry, he adds his own to it, so it's more a borrowing style than a stealing of an idea.
I love you so Stephen Fry ! live for ever
