What’s Cooking With Charlie Drake And Margaret Alden 1/2 (1960-1969)

A group of well dressed ladies take their seats and a chef welcomes them and introduces his assistant, Charlie Drake also dressed as a chef enters to applause. They decide to go ahead with the cookery demonstration without Margaret Alden. There is a lot of slapstick humour with Charlie Drake pouring flour all over the place, beating the eggs with a hammer and pulling out a Heinz baked beans can from the bottom of a stack. They fall over. The slapstick continues with water poured over the chef, flour over Charlie Drake, pies in the pants etc. The audience roars with laughter. When Margaret walks on Charlie and his side kick are covered with flour and icing and beans. They exit and the real demonstration begins, and Margaret says how pleased she is to see so many members of the “Young Wives Club“ present. The first dish she prepares is “Liver Casserole“. Onion’s in dripping, Pig’s liver with flour, salt and pepper. She tells the audience that it’s worth getting your kitchen scissors and cutting any gristle
