Cheese boards became a serious subject
Scott became fascinated by the theatre around ordering cheese in restaurants. Listeners and the team compared conventional boards with more elaborate presentations, including the idea of cheese appearing as though it were floating.
The programme found competitive cheese behaviour
Stories included people using cheese boards at clubs and gatherings in ways which turned a simple course into a display. Scott’s interest lay in the disproportionate ceremony: small pieces of cheese somehow demanded more explanation and equipment than the rest of the meal.
Ray Winstone joined the show
Ray Winstone came in for a guest conversation connected with his work, while Guinness World Records and What’s Occurring? supplied additional challenges. Even with a major actor in the studio, the episode retained the unusual distinction of being remembered for an argument about how cheese ought to arrive at the table.
