Are you making your Bulduk 2x the right way?

Fucking hell. I did it exactly as Gemini said and it's much hotter than just throwing everything in. All the noodles are properly coated. This is utter death. In a good way.

I don't really know the best place to post this so I'll do it here. My Dad, Jeff Grant, was the director of the public information film Lonely Water, made in 1973, which some of you may know. Lonely Water was one of many jobs he did as a commercial director, and another was directing an advert for Crown Paints in, I think, the early 1980s. John Cleese did some of the voiceovers for those, as far as I know.

My Dad passed away on 13th March. Before we cleared his flat, I had the last-minute thought of taking the HDDs out of his computer, which comprised around 2TB of photos, writings, videos, as well as one large novel which I didn't know he'd written. He was a prolific creative.

One of the video files on his computer was this 'mockumentary' which he and John Cleese did about the Crown Paints commercials. Apparently one day Cleese just decided to ad-lib this on a whim, they had a laugh about it and that was that. It was just another day. According to my Dad it was quite normal for this kind of stuff to happen all the time in the film industry.

I'm posting this here because I think some people might be interested to see it. It was very nearly lost for good, but I think it's an important piece of film industry history so I am sharing it for people to see.
