Asked on 9 Jan 2019 by John
Hello, I have tried and tried to see the television episides of How To Cook series 3. I purchased the original series 1 & 2, could not purchase series 3, have looked and looked to see any screenings ANYWHERE of these TV episodes on any of the food networks, iplayers, or online elsewhere (even, I must say, the library). (Given the work which must have gone into this series on Delia's part I am amazed). I saw the series purportedly for sale at https://www.ioffer.com/i/delia-smith-how-to-cook-complete-3-series-6-dvd... but do not know if this is a scam. Do you or Delia know if this is a genuine source of the TV episides for How to Cook Series 3? Or, otherwise, how I might see these? Many thanks, John

Unfortunately John the BBC did not release series 3 on VHS or DVD.
A great disappointment to us all. However, there is light on the horizon
the Good Food Network (subscription channel) has taken a license from the
BBC to air series 1 and 2. We are hoping therefore that they will also extend this
to series 3 - we have not heard anything further as yet. Keep a look out on their
website for scheduled broadcast dates.
In the meantime you might be interested to know that BBC iPlayer has series
1 of Delia's original 70's Cookery Course tv series in their archive section - free to all
to view. More details here:

Once again we are hoping series 2 and 3 will eventually be available to view.
