This fabulous spoof of the famously cheesy 1970s sitcom will see me smiling for its entire duration tonight.
It’s non-stop tongue-in-cheek humour, but the biggest joke of all of course is how ridiculously out of place the Brady family are in 1995 America with their 1970s loud fashions, ultra-bright decor and beaming smiles.
Since it’s on when I’m usually having my evening meal, I’ve decided to go retro myself and I am planning a 1970s style TV dinner to get in the mood (although I’m talking British retro, not American). Here’s what I’m considering:
Starter
Chilled juice – orange, grapefruit or tomato
Soup
Prawn cocktail
Farmhouse Pate
Egg Mayonnaise (with a little bit of paprika sprinkled on top!)
Main
Steak Diane
Rainbow Trout with almonds
Coq au vin
Rack of lamb (wearing those little fluffy chef’s hats at the end of each bone)
Chicken chasseur
Dessert
What to choose? Trifle, profiteroles, black forest gateau, fruit salad or pavlova?
One thing’s certain, I won’t be opting for the classic cheeseboard – there’s more than enough cheese in the film.
