Thank *** for that. Sealed his ranking.
To get No 1 from a bye and then not win would have been a bit hollow I think. |

Oh wow I haven't had boiled fruit cake (boiled cake we called it) in 25 years. My mum used to make it every week but not for years now.
![]() is it anything remotely like a steamed pudding? |

![]() Indeed. *gives chins a hard Paddington like stare* Not at all! It is just a moist fruit cake. The boiled bit is that the first stage is to heat up the butter or marge, dried fruit, water or juice and sugar in a saucepan and cook for a bit, which makes the fruit very soft and juicy. You let it get cold before adding the flour etc. Makes a very moist fruitcake, not as heavy as a crimbo cake, a lighter fruit cake ![]() Yes the 'boiled' cake was a staple in our house. |

I'd better make a second one since it's proving so popular! Mum used to alternate between a boiled fruit cake and a sponge of some sort. It was always one or t'other

Cor, that was an exciting episode. I thoroughly enjoyed Ross giving that smug git a thrashing. Shame he didn't fry his odious face on that fireplace!
![]() lovely to see Dr Ennis get his girl and for the reconciliation of mr and mrs ross at the end. all those clips after does that mean they've filmed lots of series 3 already? |

Elizabeth in the previous series and in the books is a weak insipid character so she's got that right. The last Elizabeth was truer to the books though. You can't ever imagine Ross preferring her to Demelza for a nanosecond. This one's just so BLAND.
![]() george's eyelids annoy me too ![]() ![]() perfect for the role of course ![]() this permanent nausea business is making me a bit crotchety ![]() i'm with you on the can't imagine Ross preferring Elizabeth to Demelza i thought they got round that with his little speech rather nicely. |
