is a delicious tongue-in-cheek 13-part cooking series. It was conceived, written, produced and co-directed by Lady P.P. (a cross between Dame Edna, Absolutely Fabulous and Two Fat Ladies).

The portly, frumpily-dressed regal imposter, tells viewers which heads of state, dignitaries, and celebrities are coming to dinner. She invites them into her private kitchen where she creates dishes that are low carb, and easy for those with a weight problem.

By her own admission, she is a messy

cook, who has been known to cause damage with an exploding haggis, and while preparing flambé dishes at the Louvre, accidentally sets fire to the Mona Lisa.

What's on the menu for the first series? The Queen prepares a delicious rolled sole for the Archbishop of Canterbury, a mouth-watering bread and butter pudding for Paul McCartney, and a new Thanksgiving turkey recipe for the President of the United States.

We have no idea what she's doing aboard The Royal Yacht Britannia , nor what she will cook for King Letsie III of Lesotho, but there are whispers of a Royal Command Performance of Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol, followed by a sumptuous Victorian dinner of jugged hare and flummery.

is, what we royals like to call, a jolly good show.
