"Some people are still surprised by just how fast you can cook frozen food."
Surely not Carol?
I do hate the way that she uses the same condescending "I'm ever so good at maths so what I'm saying MUST be true!" voice in this, in exactly the same way she does in dodgy loan ads. Its bad enough when she's trying to get people into debt, now she wants everyone to be obese! Presumably so we'll all be stuck at home watching Countdown...

They've clearly blown the budget on Vorderman as the advert itself seems to have been made for 5p. Very reminiscant of JLB adverts circa 10 years ago that were played on a stand in the local co-op

Ads like this offend me. It's like they couldn't be bothered paying for something entertaining and amusing and just set Carol up in a Barratt showhouse with a webcam. If an ad budget can't stretch to amusing dialogue, pretty cast members or at least one CGI effect then that product is not worth my time or money.
Does anyone believe that Carol even knows what Farmfoods is, anyway?

I am desperately awaiting the advert in which dear old Carol says something like:
"Don't worry about about our 2003 food scare where our food was deemed as unfit for human consumption. Don't worry about the appalling conditions we keep our animals in, that are so atrocious that they're barely legal - you'll save a few pennies if you shop with us. I'm Carol Vorderman - I present lovely, cuddly Countdown and therefore I wouldn't support any company with an unethical policy. So stop asking questions, shut up and buy our lovely, lovely produce."

I never thought I'd hear the day when Carol Voderman said "Chippy Chips".

It's a covert plot by Vorderman to create more future customers for her detox books.

Carol was on Richard & Judy today flogging her new Brain Food Diet Book. At no point did she mention you can buy 15 pies for a £1 at Farmfoods. Although you can improve brain power by chewing gum.
The lighting on this ad is awful. It reminds me of when my granny was losing her sight and used to read with the shade off and an exposed 200 watt bulb.
