Milking the reindeer

If you missed it last night, you can watch Heston doing his thing here, at least for the next six days, at least if you are located in the UK. The guy is daft as a brush - who else would use a cement mixer to prepare the feed for the goose he is going to feed his guests at Chrissy? But he has an enthusiasm for what he is doing which is infectious; and he is not afraid to make himself look ridiculous. The programme is not exactly fabulous but it is good solid entertaining television, of the kind that is seen increasingly infrequently on telly these days.
