Program
The show centered on Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson, traveling around the UK for most episodes, except for an episode in Ireland and a special Christmas in Jamaica, on a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle piloted by Paterson. This sports registration N88 TFL (British bingo call for number 88 is "Two Fat Woman") and has a Jubilee GP-700 "doublewide" Watsonian Jubilee where Dickson Wright rises.

Uncle Paterson, Anthony Bartlett, was Gentiluomo of the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, and several episodes were recorded at Westminster Cathedral and Irish monastery. While cooking at Westminster Cathedral, Paterson cooks original dishes, Peaches Cardinal Hume . In the same episode, Dickson Wright demonstrates bubble and squeak recipe using two ounces of pork fat, which he insists is the only fat besides dripping beef that can be hot enough to produce the recipe as it should be produced. Similarly, the recipe for spatchcock buttered saw the chicken covered with a layer of thick butter, bread and more butter on the bread. Such recipes lead to criticism by some who consider it a bad influence on the British diet.
Optomen Television says this, as if in response to their criticism: "The Ladies are chefs instead of chefs - they reject the pretensions and elaboration of haute dishes and are aggressively outdated, happy with ingredients like cream, lard and fatty meats."
