INTERVIEWER

Welcome to my Christmas Cooking Show! Yes! And what better way to spend the 23rd of December than eating Christmas Pudding?

As you can see I have cheated a bit and I have already baked two puddings - well, I say baked, I mean bought - one for Christmas Day, and one that we can try right now! Yummy!

So, today I will show you how to do that festive 'flambée'!

(HE OPENS A BOTTLE OF BRANDY BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN IT)

Oh. The brandy is out. Nobody ever drinks brandy around here. Every year we buy a bottle for the pudding, forgetting that we have one from last year, and in the end the whole cupboard is full of bottles. Yes, let us just try this one here…

(HE TAKES OUT ANOTHER EMPTY BOTTLE)

But it seems this year someone has actually finished all of it. Strange. What to do now… Ah! Got it!

(HE RUNS OUT. CLICK. STATIC. CLICK)

I'm back! I found this bottle in Kozlowski's lab. It's marked "Flammable - do not touch". So, that should do the trick!

(HE OPENS THE BOTTLE)

The first thing to do is to pour some of this into a ladle…

(HE POURS SOME INTO A LADLE. THEN HE HEATS IT OVER A CANDLE)

Then you heat the ladle over a candle. Don’t worry, I've got a candle ready right here, next to the pudding. Ooh, I didn't know that's what heated medical spirits smelled like... Heh, Never mind.

In a second now I will tip the ladle gently so the alcohol catches fire, and then I'll pour the flaming liquid over the pudding! Because there is nothing quite as festive as almost setting your house on fire, is there! Haha, I'm joking, don’t worry, nothing to worry about, seasoned professional here!

Now, let's tip the ladle…

THE LIQUID - WHATEVER IT IS - CATCHES FIRE AND EXPLODES!!! IN AN INSTANT, SPLODGY PUDDING IS SPATTERED ACROSS THE ROOM)

Uhm... Uh... Right... That was quite… something.

(BIG SPLOTCH OF PUDDING FALLS)

You know… I think I should ask Alvina to buy some brandy for Christmas Day. Yes…
