    The sense of raw humor between Jeremy and his mother is fantastic. I know this scene is about 10/15 years old, but you can clearly see how these people are fond of one another.

      Yes, same concept, but Kilner patented his design well before Mason. To avoid the patent Mason made the lid out of metal.

    Shirley Gabrielle Clarkson passed away in April 2014, 1 year before Clarkson's row with the BBC. Based on Wikipedia information, this was filmed in 2008.
    "Shirley returned briefly to Home Farm and Burghwallis in June 2008 to film a piece for the BBC TV One Show to coincide with the launch of the book."
