BBC2 has a new cookery competition show that aims to find Britain’s best family cookery team. The food will no doubt be delicious – but I bet there will be the odd dish that will have you asking, “I can’t believe they think that’s a good idea!” Like the family that once served raspberry blancmange with hot custard.

I remember the very first episode, grey and grainy with William Hartnell, and in the 70s. Our wedding-day celebrations were interrupted because we all wanted to see what happened next.
