BenI am FURIOUS about the way kitchens are portrayed in TV shows. Someone is cooking dinner but either end of the counter are chopping boards - both with 1 large onion, two large tomatoes, 1 shallot and a whole bulb of garlic. In the middle, a THIRD chopping board with 5 mushrooms on it. The food? Apparently ready. Why is all that food out? Why is it all over the kitchen? Who is designing these sets? Someone needs to pay me one million pounds to be a TV kitchen consultant. I will make the kitchens realistic. Immediate Academy Award for services to TV kitchens.

Rebecca Banner@toxy @TheBreadmonkey apparently the sound of water being poured ie from a tea pot or kettle, makes a different sound if it is cold, versus hot. Prop tea (and other poured hot liquids) still has to be hot, or the audience feels that something is off but can't quite put their finger on it.
Arratoon@rebeccabanner @TheBreadmonkey @toxy I remember some kid appearing on TV in the 80s, being blindfolded, and correctly discerning whether water being poured was hot or cold. Everybody needs a gimmick, I suppose.
David Cohen@rebeccabanner @toxy @TheBreadmonkey But to put your finger on boiling water will scald you, so audiences are a danger to themselves.
