Comedy series starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
When Steve is commissioned by the food supplement of a Sunday newspaper to review half a dozen restaurants, he decides to mix work with pleasure and plans a trip around the north of England with his food loving American girlfriend. But when his girlfriend decides to leave him and return to the States, Steve is faced with a week of meals for one, not quite the trip he had in mind. Reluctantly, he calls Rob, the only person he can think of who will be available. Rob, never one to turn down a free lunch (let alone six) agrees, and together they set off for a culinary adventure.
Over the course of six meals at six different restaurants in and around the Lake District, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, this ultimate odd couple find themselves debating the big questions of life over a series of culinary delights.
Their first stop is the Inn at Whitewell in the beautiful Trough of Bowland.

I want to see if those stepping stones in the trailer are at Morpeth.
… I like Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan, too.
It’s a bit self indulgent at the moment, I hope it moves on.
yes - can't really imagine where it's going from here :eek:
Waiting for the Ken Bruce and then I'll turn off!
The script was just gold for me, the randomness of it all...love the fact half of it was nothing to do with moving the story on like every other comedy drama feel like it has to do and thus ends up feeling so contrived.
To me this felt so real, charming, funny and calming which after the weekend dross of **** Factor and Strictly etc is such a welcome relief. Roll on next monday, I could have listened to them having the dinner conversation for another hour
yes so could of I, was quite sad when it finished all of a sudden.
shall watch next week.
ps i thought coogan looked like richard osullivan MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE. and i laughed at the dinner scenes which i dont often do.
"Arrr, so there be rumblings are there????"
Note to self - from now on don't dismiss books/films/tv shows cos of the newnight review panel....:rolleyes: It's not that I have total faith in them reflecting my opinions it's just there's so much art and literature out there that you have to scale things down and often them panning something is enough for me to tickit off my list.
