Or red v brown, various taste tests carried out as Ketchup came out on top, which seems about right as it sells more, however & disappointingly for me Mayonnaise out sells both.
Personally, I've always been a HP man, (I fit into the stereotype, Northern & Male) latterly ketchup on some foods, & mayonnaise occasionally.

I knew you were alright really

HP vs Ketchup
About 5-10 minutes of info stretched out to nearly an hour. At least they kept celeb views out of it. No mention of salad cream, though, the animals. I'm also sure "HP Fruity sauce" has been available for years. Also no mention of "seafood sauce" (salad cream & ketchup) either. Call this definitive? Actually, they probably didn't.

Songs of Praise - One Hundred Years of Religious Broadcasting
Pam Rhodes does some Beeb-bragging, though later admits that a church managed a broadcast on its tod in 1922 anyway. But this was after talking to some "modern" Beeb religio-broadcaster who turned to Christianity when she was caught shop-lifting and prayed for deliverance. You might think this was not a story to be telling on national telly, but there it was.

Boulting Bros larks, and Steve Punt stays on. At least they tried to cover the wider politics about a missile factory rather than just falling for Peter Sellers' masterclass.

Classic Movies: Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
Regular Stephen Armstrong is AWOL, so Sarah Gristwood makes a return after many years/series, and they even bring back Angela Allen who actually worked on the film in question.

In My Own Words: Billy Connolly
The Big Yin watches old clips and is quite frank about his early material not being there yet. He was done on TIYL around the time his 1st marriage was falling and he was heading for Pamela Stephenson. He has been coping with Parkinsons for over a decade. He ruefully acknowledges his "Audience With" now is full of celebs who have died.

Poughkeepsie Shuffle - Tracing the French Connection
Back in 2000, Mark Kermode looked into the real-life origins of an Oscar winning 1970s movie, plus Friedkin, Scheider, Hackman and others talk how they put the film together, including an attempt to outdo Bullitt's "greatest movie chase ever".
