I saw the advert for this documentary on Channel 4, and thought it might be interesting, and it turned out to be very. Filmed in "fly-on-the-wall" style, this programme shows the efforts of British entrepreneur Willie Harcourt-Cooze, who lives in Tiverton, Devon with wife Tania, and three children - Sophia (nine), William (seven) and Eve (four). He owns a cocoa farm and forest in Venezuela, and he plans not only to make chocolate with it, but to sell this "cocao" off not only to eat, but to use as ingredients in many dishes, which he shows us how to make. So you see him get the cocoa beans, take them back to Britain to his chocolate factory, getting the machine to smooth the chocolate, making the mixture into bars/blocks, and eventually, managing to sell it to a supermarket chain, Morrisons, and he runs down the road nude in celebration. Willie is obviously a little eccentric, and obsessed with chocolate enough to use it in almost any meal he can, but you can't help but like the guy and hope that he succeeds in all he does. A Christmas special, Willie's Perfect Chocolate Christmas, followed. Very good!
