On 1st April 1957 the respected British documentary series “Panorama” broadcast a closing article which reported the unusually bountiful Swiss Spaghetti harvest that year following the eradication of the dreaded spaghetti weevil.
The BBC switchboards were then bombarded with calls from the people of Britain who wanted to know how they could plant their own spaghetti tree.
In light of the fact that television ownership in Britain was, at this time, almost exclusively the preserve of the educated middle classes, and that it therefore made even the elite look like insular, xenophobic, change-resistant, potato-eating morons, the then prime minister Anthony Eden placed the director of the programme, Anthony Gargle-Strapworthy under house arrest on the Isle of Wight, where he remained until 1985.
