i agree, i used to love nigella, now i am soooooo disillusioned......did you see the picnic 'basket' ffs

and i don't think the other mothers knew her.

more tv fakery, methinks

Raahh · 01/10/2007 21:17

and when she ate all te honey comb stuff in the taxi... and the soup 'to keep her going between meals'......

Nigella, you need help....

dollyk · 01/10/2007 21:18

was that an old one, as she was on the old red double deckers bus

UnquietDad · 01/10/2007 21:18

Pea soup 'on the go' in a taxi... FFS indeed!

massivebigpantsface · 01/10/2007 21:19

god, saw this last week and had to turn over - she fluffed herself right up, its like a parody!

dollyk · 01/10/2007 21:19

yeh soup on the bus soup in the cab who really does that

lilolilmanchester · 01/10/2007 21:19

So, the children have been packed off to school and you've 10 minutes til you leave for work. Do you a) shove in a load of washing b) iron a bit of yesterday's washing c) make a sesame noodle salad to take for lunch/eat on the bus at 10:30???

munchkinmum · 01/10/2007 21:25

and the picnic!

I would have been well p'd off if I had been at that picnic... A chicken leg and a bit of coleslaw?

Where were the butties, pringles, strawberries, pork pies, shop bought hoummous and carrot sticks?

I'd have been in the chippy on the way home!

I wonder if she watches the programmes back? She's become like someone doing an over-exaggerated impression of her and it drives me nuts. It's almost enough to stop watching it BUT I love her recipes and do like to see her make stuff because you really can see how quick it is and what it's supposed to look like. I also really liked her in previous series, just found her coquettish ways kind of quirky then. Now just REALLY ANNOYING. Nigella, if you are a MNetter, this is intended as constructive criticism!! (and watch you don't dribble pea soup on the keyboard!)

DarrellRivers · 01/10/2007 21:42

she ate so so so so so much food, and on public transport as well
maybe it was her who martianbishop saw eating a whole chicken on the tube.
i did laugh at the picnic basket, i reckon i could have carried it for about 5mins before collapsing in a heap.

aDead · 01/10/2007 21:45

the soup was v funny
she made it 'as a snack'
had a cup before leaving the kitchen
a cup on the bus
a cup sitting on a park bench (i thought she was too busy for that?)
and then a cup in a taxi home

lolol. it is pure comedy!

Rytzy · 01/10/2007 21:50

blame teh producers I say...

the script is so not Nigella.... the idea of eating in soup in a bus, or a taxi.... fuck me!!!

Fucking awuful!

The last bit was horrid too.... JUST GO INSIDE THE HOUSE NIGELLA!

cRAPITY CRAPITY CRAP!!!

SACK THE PRODUCERS!!!

Rytzy · 01/10/2007 21:51

ALSO... you can so tell the bus is not a real bus... I bet you we see the same people every week but with differnt jumpers.... come on who wants to accept my bet>!?

DarrellRivers · 01/10/2007 21:54

I'd be a bit if someone turned up for supper and had eaten all the present they had bought for me.

DarrellRivers · 01/10/2007 21:54

I am however still very fond of her....

ruddynorah · 01/10/2007 22:02

rofl. when she said she had such a busy day ahead..off she trots with her flask of pea soup...and what's she busy doing? sitting on a park bench looking at a fountain....busy busy busy!

MsHighwater · 01/10/2007 22:03

I read that the bus and the passengers were hired, some of the interior shots are not at her house (tho some are) and the "friends" are not necessarily particularly close friends (I think her father and kids are real, though!), more like acquaintances.

Don't really care, though.

BeenleighOfTheDead · 01/10/2007 22:07

It is ridiculous, and her healthy attitude towards food is so ott it's virtually neurotic. I have gone off her too, she's a bit of a joke, and completely insincere.

Jacanne · 01/10/2007 22:14

She does seemed to have turned into her own spitting image puppet. I find it quite difficult to watch now.

brimfull · 01/10/2007 22:16

totally agree she is a parody of herself,I was laughing all the way through.DH drooled.

NotAnOtter · 01/10/2007 22:16

what was all that 'hair perfuming'??

filthymindedvixen · 01/10/2007 22:17

I was PMSL at the PANT (ry) closeup.

Dh was most amused as i kept hsouting SMUG! like some touretty madwoman at the screen!

brimfull · 01/10/2007 22:19

She's obvioulsy watched Ronnie Ancona doing her and decided to go one better

Tommy · 01/10/2007 22:19

lol
DH and I were sat there saying "she is mad isn't she?"

agree - crappy picnic - wouldn't have gone down too well with my DSs - no mini rolls

sallyfubsylittlebat · 02/10/2007 12:36

Jeez, how many calories were in yesterdays programme?

If I ate like that I would be twice the size I am now.
