The White Elephant, Episode 3, Broken"

I’ve got an order from table 3.

Amazing, he wants the ‘chef’s special’ - duck a la plum. Now this should be good.

Duck a la plum!? Shouldn’t it be duck a l’orange Gordon?

This is my ‘chef’s special’ - just leave it to me.

I’ll go and tell him it’s on its way.

and give him a glass of wine - on the house.

Problem Gordon?

The oven won’t light - the cooker’s on the blink ! Where did you get this piece of junk from?

I bought it second hand. It was in good working condition.

Try pressing that button there.

What do you know about cookers, huh? Can’t you see it’s kaput - knackered ! We’re going to lose yet another customer now. I was really looking forward to cooking my duck a la plum!

Have you tried the gas connections?

Don’t be ridiculous - I have worked in some of the world’s top restaurants - and I know when a cooker has packed up - and this one has completely had it .

Oh. I’ll go and tell him the duck’s off shall I?

Wait a minute Peter. If I just press this knob here - now try that a try.

Ah, well.

Well done Mary.

So we’re ‘ cooking on gas’ then! I’ll go and give the customer the good news. Mary you’re brilliant!
