The Chuckle Brothers are in business making desserts and Mrs. McCallister has asked them to make a blancmange, but, due to a faulty phone line, they assume she is catering for 'hundreds of thousands',rather than wanting 'hundreds and thousands' decorations on top. As a consequence they set out to make the world's biggest blancmange and it's not long before it's going to explode.

00:00Ch-Ch-Ch-Chucklevision!
00:08Now that's what I call a carrot cake!
00:12Hello, Chuckle Puddings?
00:14Yes, we make all sorts of scrummy sweets, delightful desserts and appetising afters.
00:19How can we help you?
00:21Hmm, we can certainly make that for you.
00:23When was that before?
00:25Hang on, I'll check the book.
00:31Yes, that should be fine.
00:33Was there anything else?
00:35Sticky fudge fingers?
00:37Oh, we're famous for our sticky fudge fingers.
00:39Er, excuse me a minute.
00:41Barry, what are you doing?
00:43I'm rolling the pastry, like you said.
00:45I meant roll it flat.
00:46It won't roll if it's flat.
00:48Not roll it flat, roll it flat with a rolling pin.
00:51Oh, with a rolling pin.
00:54Sorry about that.
00:55Now, how many sticky fudge fingers did you want?
00:58Ten.
00:59Sounds like quite a handful.
01:01Paul?
01:02Just a minute, I'm sorry.
01:03I told you I'm on the phone.
01:05It's all sticking.
01:06Then put down some flour.
01:09I do apologise.
01:10So difficult getting the staff these days, you know.
01:13Can we deliver?
01:14Oh, we've got a very good delivery service.
01:16It's called Barry.
01:17Pardon?
01:18Nothing.
01:19We'll send them round then.
01:20Thank you very much.
01:21Bye.
01:23Hey, it's busy today.
01:24Yeah.
01:25What are you doing?
01:26Putting down some flours, like you said.
01:28I meant put down some flour.
01:30Oh, silly me.
01:32Silly you.
01:33How are you getting on with the sticky fudge fingers?
01:43Done them.
01:44Right, put them in the fridge.
01:45In the fridge?
01:46Well, they won't go hard otherwise.
01:56What are you standing there for?
01:58Waiting for me fingers to go hard.
02:00You don't have to stand and watch them.
02:02What else can I do?
02:03Leave them in there and get on with some work.
02:05I can't leave me fingers in the fridge.
02:07Why not?
02:08They're stuck to me hands.
02:09Well, cut them off then.
02:10What?
02:13Take them out.
02:17It's okay, I'll pick it up.
02:23I can put them back in the bowl.
02:24You can't do that, it's been on the floor.
02:26I'll have to make another one now.
02:31Cover with custard and top with cream.
02:33Have you got the custard ready?
02:35I thought you were doing it.
02:37Oh, dear.
02:38There's no time to do any now.
02:40I know.
02:43There you are, custard creams.
02:45Nobody will know the difference.
02:47Hello.
02:48I wonder if you could help me out.
02:50You see, the thing is that I am having a little garden party.
02:54And normally I would do all the catering myself,
02:56but I just haven't got the time.
02:58It's ten past nine.
02:59So what I was wondering was, could you do the puddings for me?
03:02You can count on us.
03:03We won't desert you.
03:08What can we do for you?
03:09Blancmange.
03:10Blancmange?
03:11My special blancmange.
03:13I've got the recipe in here somewhere.
03:15It was handed down to me by my grandmother.
03:18And I suppose she got it from her grandmother?
03:20Oh, no, no.
03:21The top shelf of the bookcase.
03:23Oh, I've copied out the recipe for you.
03:25It's in here somewhere.
03:27Oh, dear.
03:28Oh, excuse me.
03:30Here you go.
03:31Here it is.
03:33Do you know, I've never tasted another blancmange as light and fluffy.
03:38Oh, yes.
03:39I'm sure we can manage this for you.
03:40And you will bring something to serve it in, won't you?
03:42Of course.
03:43Thank you very much.
03:44Bye.
03:46Blancmange!
03:50Blancmange?
04:00Oh, I forgot to tell them.
04:04Did she say how many people were going to this party, Paul?
04:07No, she didn't.
04:08I'd better give her a ring.
04:16Hello?
04:17I beg your pardon?
04:18Chuckle Puddings?
04:19No, it's Mrs McAllister.
04:21I think there's something wrong with your phone.
04:23I don't play the trombone.
04:25You're breaking up?
04:26Oh, no.
04:27No, really.
04:28I'm fine.
04:29Oh, I'm ringing up about the blancmange.
04:31Blancmange?
04:32Oh, I was about to call you.
04:34There's something more.
04:35How many was it for?
04:36That's right.
04:37There's something more.
04:38Don't forget the hundreds and thousands.
04:40Sorry, what did you say?
04:41I was saying...
04:42Blancmange!
04:43Blancmange!
04:44I was saying...
04:45Don't forget the hundreds and thousands.
04:48A hundred thousand?
04:50And you still want us to serve it up?
04:52Oh, yes.
04:53Yes, of course.
04:54I think we'd better get a marquee.
04:56No, no, it's not parquee at all.
04:58I'm quite warm, really.
04:59I will see you at six o'clock.
05:03Forget it, Barry.
05:04We'll make this one up on sight.
05:10Have you ever made a blancmange as big as this before, Paul?
05:13It's a mere trifle.
05:14No, I'm sure she said blancmange.
05:16No, it's simple.
05:17All you've got to do is get the right ingredients.
05:19What are they, then?
05:20Well, um...
05:21What does blancmange taste of?
05:23Nothing on earth.
05:24They are.
05:25We get lots of that, then.
05:26And we've got this, of course.
05:28Well, that won't taste very nice.
05:30Course it will.
05:31This is full of lovely ingredients.
05:33Is it?
05:34Yes.
05:39Nice?
05:43Tastes of nothing on earth.
05:44Well, there you are.
05:45Blancmange.
05:46Come on, let's go and get a bowl.
05:50To me.
05:51To you.
05:52To me, then.
05:53To you, then.
05:54To me.
05:55To you.
05:56To me.
05:57To you.
05:58To me.
05:59To you.
06:00There.
06:01Right.
06:02I think we should move the bowl a bit.
06:03Right.
06:04Come on.
06:05Just a minute.
06:06I think it's lighter at your side.
06:08Well, you come round here, then.
06:13Ready?
06:14Right.
06:17I think it was better the original way.
06:18OK.
06:19Come round here.
06:25What's the matter?
06:26I can't lift it.
06:28I think it's all right where it is.
06:29Right.
06:30Right.
06:31Ingredients.
06:32OK.
06:33Eggs.
06:34Eggs.
06:36Milk.
06:37Milk.
06:44Flour.
06:45Flour.
06:51Wait a minute.
06:52Wait a minute.
06:54If this is for a hundred thousand, we're going to need a lot more ingredients.
06:58What are you doing?
06:59Wait in a minute.
07:01Come on.
07:09Milk.
07:14Milk.
07:15Eggs.
07:16How many?
07:17A couple will do it.
07:30Eggs.
07:31Corn flour.
07:38You're putting too much in there.
07:40That's better.
07:56That's done it.
07:57Now, whisk it all together.
08:04Not that.
08:05The blancmange.
08:06Oui.
08:07I'll get it.
08:08You carry on.
08:12Ah, Mrs McAllister.
08:13I bet you didn't expect this, eh?
08:15Well.
08:16Well, no.
08:17Well, here at Chuckle Puddings, we do aim to give you your just desserts.
08:23You did understand about the hundred and...
08:25Oh, yes.
08:26Don't worry.
08:27Everything's under control.
08:28Excuse me.
08:31Well, I suppose they must know what they're doing.
08:38Don't do that.
08:40Don't you realise that hygiene's of the utmost importance in the kitchen?
08:43You can't go putting your finger in like that.
08:45People have got to eat it.
08:46Now, what's your problem?
08:47I dropped the whisk.
08:48Well, don't just stand there.
08:50You'll have to go in and get it.
08:51Go on.
09:03Are you sure about this, Paul?
09:05Get in there.
09:09Don't mess about.
09:11Have you got it?
09:12No.
09:13Try over there.
09:18Can't you remember where you dropped it?
09:20Try over there.
09:23Come on.
09:24Don't mess about.
09:26Oh, forget it.
09:27I'll think of something else.
10:05That's it.
10:18This is what we need.
10:19What do we do now?
10:20We beat it.
10:21Right.
10:27What are you doing?
10:28I'm beating it.
10:29So you've got to put it in there first, haven't you?
10:32Of course.
10:35Now what's wrong? I can't reach it.
10:42Tip the ball to me and I'll get hold of it.
10:44It's too heavy. That was before we put the stuff in.
10:54Is that far enough?
10:59Oh dear.
11:06I wonder if it'd be alright if I used your bathroom.
11:08Is everything alright?
11:10Fine, fine. Everything's under control.
11:12Only I do want a light and fluffy blimond.
11:19I'm not keen on this, Paul.
11:21Don't be silly. We've got to get the spoon out somehow, haven't we?
11:24I suppose so.
11:29You can't put your paddle in there.
11:31Why not?
11:32Somebody's got to eat that.
11:33Imagine if you got a bowl of blimond and somebody had a paddle in it.
11:36You're right.
11:38Of course I am. Now use your hands.
11:47That's it. You're doing well there.
11:49We'll make a head baker of you yet.
11:51Now get the spoon.
12:04That's it. I can reach it now.
12:06Here I go.
12:10Just a minute, silly me.
12:12We don't need the spoon at all.
12:14All you need to do is run round and round and round until it gets all mixed up.
12:17It's not the only one. I'm not doing that.
12:20Nonsense. All you need is a little bit of encouragement.
12:22Leave it to me.
12:24Close your eyes.
12:28You can open them now.
12:34See? I told you.
12:36All you need was a bit of encouragement.
12:39Stop!
12:40Not quite right.
12:43I remember my mother used to use this in all her puddings.
12:47Right. Off you go again.
12:51Stop!
12:53Still not quite right.
12:56Off you go again.
13:00Stop!
13:04That should do it. Off you go.
13:09I can't move, Paul.
13:15I just thought I'd let you know I'm off now to pick up my guests.
13:19What, all of them?
13:21Oh, yes. I have got up Morris Minor, you know.
13:24Oh, I see.
13:26How's the blancmange going?
13:28Oh, fine, fine.
13:30It will be light and fluffy.
13:32Oh, yes. Trust me.
13:34Well, have a sunnier then.
13:40Next, place in the refrigerator and cool for 40 minutes.
13:43Right. Let's get it in the fridge.
13:48I don't think this is going to work, Paul.
13:50You're right. You know why?
13:52Why?
13:53It's too heavy.
13:55It's too heavy.
13:59If we can't put the bowl in the fridge, why don't we put the fridge in the bowl?
14:02Yes!
14:04No.
14:06You know what we need?
14:07What?
14:08Another one of my ideas.
14:10Oh, dear.
14:13To me.
14:14To you.
14:15To me.
14:16To you then.
14:17To me then.
14:18To you.
14:19To me.
14:20To you.
14:21That's a big fan you've got there, Paul.
14:24All set.
14:25What, already?
14:26No, when I say all set, I mean I'm all set.
14:29Oh, that's probably with standing in the blamange.
14:31OK, switch it on.
14:35Turn it off!
14:37What?
14:38Switch it off!
14:39I can't hear you.
14:40Switch it off!
14:43I can't hear. I'll have to switch it off.
14:47What were you saying, Paul?
14:50What were you saying, Paul?
14:54You know, I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
14:56All we've got to do is leave the fridge door open and the blamange will soon cool down.
15:00Are you sure?
15:01Course I'm sure.
15:11It was a good idea of yours, Paul, leaving the fridge door open.
15:18Told you so.
15:19It'll work.
15:23Do you think it's ready now?
15:27I think so.
15:29That's better.
15:30Have a look.
15:31Right.
15:33It's ready.
15:46Doesn't sound that light and fluffy to me, Paul.
15:48I'm going to have to use the secret ingredient.
15:57What secret ingredient?
15:59It puts lots of air into the mixture.
16:01It's a secret.
16:03Start pumping.
16:09Good, eh?
16:11I'll just go and set the tables.
16:15Barry!
16:28Ha!
16:32Achoo!
16:43Paul.
16:44Not now, Barry.
16:45But it's about the blamange.
16:46Not now.
16:47You've got to get your priorities right, one job at a time.
16:50Then we can go and see it.
16:52I think it's coming to see us.
16:54What do you mean?
16:55You'd better come and have a look.
17:02Do you want your oil, Skin?
17:05It's here.
17:06Quick.
17:07Close it up.
17:10Ah, Mrs McAllister.
17:11How nice to see you.
17:12Isn't it nice to see Mrs McAllister, Barry?
17:14Very nice.
17:15Oh, you're too kind.
17:16Not at all.
17:17Now, where are all your guests?
17:18Guests?
17:19For the garden party.
17:20Ach, it's only the vicar.
17:24The vicar?
17:25Well, what about the hundreds and thousands?
17:27Well, I won't tell you.
17:28The vicar?
17:29Well, what about the hundreds and thousands?
17:31Well, I was rather hoping that you would provide them.
17:33What?
17:34So, have you got the blamange?
17:36Yes, we've got that.
17:38Oh, I do hope there's enough.
17:39I think there will be.
17:40Let me show you to your seat.
17:46There you are.
17:48Well, this is all rather formal, but very nice nevertheless.
17:52Isn't it, vicar?
17:54It's very nice, isn't it, vicar?
17:57Now, the blamange.
17:59Is it pink and fluffy?
18:01It is that.
18:02Come on then, give it to me.
18:04Are you sure?
18:05I'm sure, very sure.
18:06Very, very sure?
18:08Very, very sure.
18:09You can't have too much blamange, I always say.
18:12Right.
18:13Let her have it, Barry.
18:14It's just like grandmother's.
