	>"Voiceover explains how Mrs Beeton died very young and her husband
	published the books posthumously.>
	But that is plain wrong. While Isabella Beeton did die young (she
was 28),
	it wasn?t until three years after the publication of her Book of
Household
	management. And her husband was forced to sell off the copyrights
less than
	two years later, so any subsequent changes were made by the new
publisher
	and had nothing to do with the Beetons at all. Later editions may
have done
	a lot to ruin British cooking but after 1906, they contained very
little of
	Mrs. Beeton?s original material.

Yes, and unfortunately the way it sigued made it sound like something
Clarissa said. It seemed obvious to me the WetBehindTheEars Male Reporter
(who also did the Voiceover) was one of the school-dinner-brigade who
thought what Clarissa said was sacrilege <smile> How much actual research he
did himself is debatable. The rest of the commentary was mediocre, and he
let other people do the indepth stuff. It seemed obvious on TV (to me at
least, possibly not to the public) she was talking about the book rather
than the actual person.
