Albert Tatlock Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I saw the giant potato on BBC Northwest TV this morning. I tried to contact Esther Ranton on 'That's Life' (only be told the show has been off the air for some time) as I wanted to tell them that the potato had similar dimensions to my nob. They also said they'd had already about 20 emails thinking it was Peter Karren's missing brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that tomorrow the DTL will be changing the name of the Island to:- The Isle of Hideously Oversized Vegetables and Similarly Ludicrously Oversized Farm Produce in celebration of the title coming back home!!
