Now when circumstances have put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flying harder than the food!
Dolly’s long-[suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly’s dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel’s, it’s a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!
