Panorama (1953)

The spaghetti harvest report, April 1, 1957 Three minutes of a family in Switzerland picking spaghetti from trees, narrated with complete seriousness by Richard Dimbleby. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC afterward, some wanting to know how to grow their own. It earns a laugh every time, and it opens a conversation about how unfamiliar pasta was in 1950s Britain and what went on the table instead.
