Five minutes after playing it, I realised I was absentmindedly humming the theme song to myself. THIS CALLS FOR REVENGE

(The following anecdote will probably be funnier if you know of Ready, Steady, Cook. Really, the only necessary grounding is that they always give their dishes names, and the names are always horrible puns.)

At one point my mother and I were discussing slash fiction, and we tried to come up with a fandom that would have no pairing fiction whatsoever. It was very difficult. Eventually...

BBC PRIME: The next program is Ready, Steady, Cook; but first, more vapiditiy and horribleness from The Wonderful World Of Fashion.
PATRICK'S MOTHER: Ready, Steady, Cook, maybe.
PATRICK: I'll buy that.
(The show begins. It contains, among other things:)
AINSLEY: (of a mango dish) So what are you going to call it?
THAT COOK WITH THE BEARD, YOU KNOW, THE CROTCHETY ONE: Well, Ains, I thought I'd call it something you told me last night: "This man-goes a long, long way".
PATRICK: ...
PATRICK'S MOTHER: ...
