This time it did all record, but was never edited - I think John had issues with the lip-sync, and since all the footage was on his personal machine we didn't get it back after he left York.

WoodenSpoon was [[Michael Prior-Jones]]' cookery show, done in a Blue Peter-ish sort of style. Michael wrote, presented and directed it. This was intended to be a serious cooking programme, unlike the [[Cooking With]] series that preceeded it. The programme has a reputation as being cursed in some way, as it never really got filmed satisfactorily after five attempts!

			This was much later - in February 2003. The show was shot on a Saturday morning at [[Lorna Mitchell]]'s shared house near the Victoria Hotel. The multi-camera approach was done away with in favour of some careful planning and a single DV camera, operated by [[Andrew Talbot]], and with [[Jonathan Bufton]] on sound. There were some quite inventive attempts at credits, with Michael and Jonathan spelling their names out in Lorna's alphabet fridge magnets and mixing them up, and later reversing the footage!
