Another site (http://www.cooksinfo.com/fan...UPDATE!<br />Another site (http://www.cooksinfo.com/fanny-cradock) repeats another claim that it was none other than Scotland's very own Bill Tennant (anyone else remember him?) who was responsible:<br />"In the early 1970s, Fanny hosted the "Home And Garden" slot that was part of a talk show on Scottish Television hosted by […] Bill Tennant. The show always ended with her handing out food, and a recipe, to the audience. In one show, she demonstrated how to make doughnuts. That night, as Bill closed the show, he said goodbye to his viewers, and said, "The recipe will be on the screen in a moment ...and I hope all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's". Apparently the audience sat there in shocked silence while Bill slowly realized what he'd said."Cad Delworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-34137848407738794832013-12-24T13:16:26.337+00:002013-12-24T13:16:26.337+00:00Oddly enough, a) I'm in Edinburgh as well, and...Oddly enough, a) I'm in Edinburgh as well, and b) I was researching the quote myself today. Opinions vary: take your pick!<br />1) The line was said by Frank Bough following a live cooking demo. on Nationwide; OR<br />2) The line was said by Johnnie Cradock at the end of a TV show; OR<br />3) The line was the punchline of a Benny Hill parody where Benny played Fanny (no jokes please!), and Bob Todd played Johnnie.<br />I do remember hearing the line on live TV myself, and my admittedly vague recollection is that it was indeed Frank (sniff sniff) Bough; and that Benny Hill 'pinched' the line for his later spoof.Cad Delworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2989495098344372691.post-28794989147127670912013-11-17T17:02:16.061+00:002013-11-17T17:02:16.061+00:00No idea if it is true or not, but grab your blindf...No idea if it is true or not, but grab your blindfold anyway and give it a try!
