So for those of you who don't know, Nigella Lawson is a celebri-chef here in the UK. Her shows can mostly be classified as gastro-porn, with the emphasis on the porn. So when I found this video, I was slightly horrified. Highlights include her assertion that she just can't be satisfied with gingerbread and needs some Christmas cake to fill that void (I may be paraphrasing here, but the effect is really in the delivery). But I think my favourite part starts at about 5:30, when she asks (herself? the audience? the voices in her head?) if we can hear the choirs of angels, and the super-creepy background music makes it feel as though we're being invited to Christmas at Hannibal Lecter's house. But maybe I'm being a bit too harsh (it is Christmas after all!), or maybe the perpetual darkness in this country has finally driven me round the twist, so judge for yourselves:

That music is way creepy, especially when she says, "There's no turning back now." WTF.
