Keith Floyd
Anyone else miss his shows?
I loved them, just his style and how he got through his shows. I remember he was doing a show in some Frenchwomans kitchen making a pipenade and he really mangled it and she took over saying that is wrong the way you have done it and then commenced to cook it how it should have been. To be fair with him he did say hers was much better than his, but in the mean time he was saying what a dragon she was, really good telly. Comparing him with todays chefs I just miss his flamboyance. I saw the docu with Keith Allen a bit before he died ad the years had taken it out of him but he was still good copy. |

He was very entertaining - we watched him a lot in his heyday. Our Best Man at our wedding went to work for him when he had his restaurant at Tuckenhay in Devon. He was a real character to work for apparently, cheerful one minute and raging strop the next !

I've only seem him through repeats, but it's fun to see him get progressively more drunk as each show progresses.

If you wiki/Google his latter years it's tragic - a la George Best/Alex Higgins/Oliver Reed. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith...ness_and_death Edit: I did enjoy his programmes but I can only see the tragedy now when he indulges in every programme. |

the only ones that comes close are the Two hairy bikers, It was cringeworthy. Two 15 minute ultra basic "cooking" spots and an hour or more of "comedy" such as riding kiddies bikes whilst dressed as cowboys and, at one point, literally dropping their pants to expose their arses. Please don't bracket dear old Floyd with those two. I can tolerate Dave Myers solo but the other oaf seems to think they're the answer to Morecambe and Wise. If the ticket hadn't been a gift I'd have walked. |
