BBC
documentary goes behind the scenes at KFC.
You’d be
hard pressed to imagine it is possible to accumulate three hour’s worth of
interesting material on the running of the major fast food business KFC without
considerable repetition and you’d be right. What would have been an interesting
two part or even single documentary is stretched too thinly across three weeks
resulting in an unfocussed programme containing a lot of tiny detail but
lacking much wider perspective. There are some funny moments and interesting
characters but this food is definitely not fast. There is also the odd habit of flashing up
short sequences of thousands of live chickens waddling around a huge barn every
so often as if subliminally reminding us that many chickens were harmed during
the making of this production!
