I am a little concerned.....I have noticed a lot of my adult friends going down with a severe love sickness for either big cook ben or little cook small can't see the attraction myself with big cook ben...although the little one does seem to have a kinky elfness about him!

Those outfits don't do anything for them at all do they. Saw them on a programme one evening weeks ago - unfortunately can't remember what it was (am sure that one of the MN's will know ). They were on there as "themselves" and they actually both looked very attractive in "real life".

this has come up before. apparently big cook has a large female following. i'm a fan, but not in that way.

toothache, so long as DH actually does the washing up and makes the kitchen sparkle and clean, then thats fair enough - let him dance away.

hamster, do they sing sparkle and gleam?
I always thought it was sparkle and clean.
Right, will have to check next time it is on.

alicatsg · 28/02/2005 14:47

I find them both worryingly desperate.

Personally I love Cbeebies Chris. I like a man who never lets the moment for a showtune pass...

i do unfortunately have the words welded into my memory, and the words are in deed; wash, wipe, scrub and clean, make the kitchen sparkle and gleam........

the cooks are great! they are so sarcastic and smart-ass it makes me laugh. i want that job!

HappyDaddy · 28/02/2005 16:24

hamster i actually caught myself humming the tune while doing the dishes the other day!

purpleturtle · 28/02/2005 16:29

My kids have seen today's episode 3 times, and mercifully I have not had to watch it the whole way through. Dd loves it. I hate it. Big Cook Ben looks like he never cooks a meal for himself in RL, let alone could he run the "best cafe in the world"

do u notice that the customers never order what they want.

Happy daddy, you too are under the bclc curse ....big cook little cook...welcome to our cafe!

SeaShells · 28/02/2005 16:35

Big Cook Ben is...Hot hot hot

Amanda3266 · 28/02/2005 16:41

But Big Cook Ben is no chef. Compare the thing he makes with the other bits presumably made by a real chef.
They are so camp it is untrue - give me Archie anyday but the pink jumper does worry me somewhat.....

HappyDaddy · 28/02/2005 16:57

I love it and my dd dances to the tune and always smiles when it starts. So there.

Well my DD is more of a Teletubbies fan, so I have to admit, BCLC is on in our house purely for my pleasure

alexsmum · 28/02/2005 17:05

i loathe this programme with a passion i find hard to express!!! the presenters are so ott, and patronising, and false.The stories are rubbish and so are the recipes.and the theme tune drives me nuts!
