MARION MCMULLEN turns up the heat for the 30th anniversary of Can't Cook, Won't Cook

- 

IT WAS time to rattle those pots and pans when Can't Cook, Won't Cook launched on the BBC 30 years ago.

The energetic cookery show served up its first contestants on November 20, 1995, and the series saw hopeless cooks nominated by family members to come up with something edible on a plate.

Contestants were given a helping hand by a top chef and it was up to the people who had nominated them to decided in a test taste who had come up with a worthy winning dish.
