This one is for older grans…..not ageist honestly!

I remember Fanny Craddock demonstrating cookery, some of her recipes were horrendous. She was awful to her husband, they may not have even been married 😳He was her assistant.

Was it Fanny Craddok.She presented a programme with her husband.but I think it was mainly cooking

Sorry Crosspost

Was Katie Boyle not the original presenter of The Eurovision Song Contest, who impressed us all with her fluency in French so we all learned how to perfectly pronounce "nil points"?

Yes, and she was born Caterina Irene Elena Maria, Imperiali dei Principi di Francavilla and became a Boyle upon marriage, later marrying Sir Peter Saunders and becoming Lady
Saunders.

Douze Points!

Oh my goodness

I wasn't alive till the 70s but I've just read this entire thread to see if you got your answer

I'm now completely invested

Fingers crossed for you, this sort of thing drives me around the bend. Hopefully it will pop into your head when you least expect it

Calendargirl

Maybe not Doris Rogers!

Philip Harben did a show with Marguerite Patten, could it have been her?

I can't imagine Margeurite Patten using * clingfilm*, * Calendargirl*! 😁

I could be wrong of course

Was it Jim's Inn with Jimmy Hanley and his wife Maggie? Set in a fictitious pub, a kind of early soap opera, but they introduced products too.

I see aquagran has already suggested Jim's Inn, apologies aquagran.

But it sounds very similar, if not that one.

I remember the programme but have no idea what it was called. Wasn’t there also a male presenter? We didn’t have a television until 1958 so it would have been late 50s.

I think the do-it-yourself male presenter was Barry Bucknell. He always made a bookcase or something but all the holes were already made for him and he used a lot of Fomica.
I remember him because he did something called Flushing door and my gran got my father to do all her doors for her hiding all the Victorian mouldings. When he had finished she decided she liked them the other way best. that would have been late 50's.

‘Doris Rogers’ is still plaguing me though!

Have googled the name, but some actress comes up which isn’t right.

The OP spoke about how she recalled the woman looked, my vision of this person looks a bit like Agatha Christie, a bit plump and matronly.

Am sure we are thinking of the same black and white programme, but the name ‘Molly’ doesn’t sit right with me.

Jimmy Hanley's wife in the programme was called Maggie.

His daughter, with Dinah Sheridan, is Jenny Hanley, who is a well-known actress and presented the children's programme Magpie.

Could this be it?

Have found this under TV Advertising.

‘The hostess was always Doris Rogers. It was first aired on Sunday, September 16th, 1956, 5.55-6.10pm.

No title, could it have been ‘Shop In The Corner’?

Definitely Doris Rogers, and on a Sunday at tea time?
Surely this must be it?
