    Interesting that the pie factory in this week's programme has gone
    bust. I wonder if the programme makers give a company's accounts the
    onceover before deciding to feature it, especially one that's family
    owned.
    While the production process didn't put me off pork pies the finished
    product didn't look very appealing. Anyone know who they supply?

    I suspect the grinning buffoon presenting what is otherwise an
    informative programme didn't help. Vale of Mowbrey must have been
    pushing their luck too.

    Spouse and I both noted as we were watching that there was far too much production labor required and that a number of the processes could easily have been automated. Especially the placement of the dough in the cups. Easy to see how material cost increases and labor shortages killed the company.

    I suspect gas prices didn't help either.

    Since they were at the jaffa cake factory, the previous episode, the
    pack size has been reduced from twelve to ten.
