Sound was recorded with a directional microphone rather than using tie clip microphones, and the vision was mixed by [[Tim Hackett]] in the 7 normal format shows. Because the mixer had to be squashed into the crampt kitchen no camera comms were used and the camera operators (usually [[Tim Pollard]] and [[Helen Rix]]) were left to frame their own shots. | Sound was recorded with a directional microphone rather than using tie clip microphones, and the vision was mixed by [[Tim Hackett]] in the 7 normal format shows.

Mixed footage was then passed through one more stage of processing. A [[Timeclock]] was first recorded onto a blank MMatic tape followed by the opening titles, then the source SVHS tape lined up to about 10s before the action started, a fake 'in' point was set and the two players left to free run - sometimes leading to a slightly long pause after the end of the titles. | Mixed footage was then passed through one more stage of processing.

For [[Cooking With Chocolate]] a mini black and white pinhole camera was used to film the beating together of ingredients. Of course this was actually recorded earlier and the 'pancam' view simply edited over the main soundtrack. | |||
Overlayed graphics came from a [[Commodore Amiga]], which at the time was only equipped with a floppy drive. This meant that the closing titles had to be loaded one page at a time, and due to the graphical backdrop this also meant loading the backdrop too. For this reason the closing credits could often reach 3 minutes - enough time to load all of the pages and usually play the chosen track in full. | Overlayed graphics came from a [[Commodore Amiga]], which at the time was only equipped with a floppy drive.
