totaly agree, the program is rubbish except for Rick the show was benieth him. I would have liked to be more of Stien non of the others. But my fave is surfing the menu and the Best. Ben O'Donoghue is ab fab.

Well I have finally watched a recording of this programme which from the credits is presented, directed and produced by David Pritchard.

I have to say I found the convenience food tasting at least useful, though why I should trust Davids opine on food is questionable I certainly trust Ricks. I would have liked to know the sources of the losers. As for Davids ability to act, well the pie crust shone above him. Sorry for being a bit rude but he didn't even react to to Rick's words but just waited for his next bit of the script. Calling it wooden would be an insult to the memories of all those dead trees.

The young Delia's Speshul Kitchin. It would be nice to introduce some humour into the programme wouldn't it? Unfortunately this doesn't.

Simon & the Sous Chefs, can you imagine any of these taking charge when the head chef is absent? What does it add?

The wine tasting by someone who can't wine taste - why? Will someone please tell me he doesn't say "first taste with your eyes, then taste with your nose and finally taste with your palate" every time.

Now for Victoria's Dinner Parties. Nothing new here then. I did notice a laptop in one shot, email, message board or recipe from the internet?

Sir Robins's hash - well at least you knew he had actually cooked it before, did leave me wondering about the other 311 days though.

Deliberated summary - keep Rick's taste testing and ditch the rest.

Result - great informative filler between other excellent programmes.

Well, I put the tape in and started to watch it and was easly distracted from this programme. My daughter was taking about something and I even forgot it was on. Now if that doesn't tell you anything nothing will. I normally pause programmes or say I'll be with you in a moment! but alas no. I hope Delia's got a sense of humour. Very dissapointed to see Rick wasting his talent. The jokes made by the band are quite realistic. Do-not understand the singer at the begining. Could not take to Ricks friend. Waste of good viewing time . Will not be giving up neighbours for it. Perhaps it will be "Allright on the night"

The chilli recipe (and the cowboy shoot out) was plagiarised from an old Floyd on America programme where the mayor of San Diego beat Floyd in a chilli cook off. Curiously, a lot of the show seems like that. Surprising (not) therefore that the so-called presenter/producer, David Pritchard, was also Floyd's producer (and Stein's as well). He did have the good grace to mention the source of his recipe, but it was a poor way to rehash the idea. I suppose he is allowed, as it was his idea, but I think it just shows how few he actually has.

And yes, I do get that that it is all a parody. It just isn't clever enough.

Hi David, do you mean that Elvis impersonator who sings this to the tune of "Well it's one for the money?"

Well we blagged to get the money
Too make a cxxp show
It’s not very funny
Am I gonna watch it? NO!
So UK Food, listen to all these BOOS!
Uh uh uh
This show is is so bad
I’d prefer to watch The News
Uh uh uh

Sorry I said Amanda, I meant Victoria. The third episode in this disaster had an excellent recipe for a Chilli.

Linda, I accept that you are more than entitled to your opinion and I applaud the fact that in the face of all this adverse criticism, you have the nerve to stand up and say that the prog is good! Do you like Reality TV too?

PMSL again.

Siobhan, you missed out the Elvis impersonator (I use that term loosely)

HI Folks, just wanted to let you know that UKFOOD has just edited my message. Not becasue it was rude or had swear words, purely beacuse I made mention of their reason for being in business.

UKFOOD, I am only stating the obvioius. BAD programmes don't make you no money.

You know who should host this show? Paul Roseby! He loves breast jokes, leeking jokes and all the Br..er..rest. This is his chance!

Ian, I am not going to fall at your feet because you work for the channel. UK Food is a business and you are selling advertising space. I adore the channel and know most programmes off by heart.

This show tries to be humorous, zany and different. SHAME on the makers, it just fails abysmally. I have given it a lot of my time and I just can't see why this pointless programme was ever made. The dire and embarrasssing Delia paroday, the inexcusable wine tasting and the pointless migraine inducing sous-chef rock group make me embarrassed as opposed to interested.

Hi Ian,
I must be one on my own with this one - I thought it was fab. Especially the dinner parties and the corned beef recipes, oh and the other guy who appears with Rick Stein, he has had some good recipes to show
When are you going to start printing the recipes from the show?
I do agree, that it is somewhat disjointed, but really good recipes non the less.
Fab! Please let me know when the recipes are going to be available - Linda

oh dear, not doing so well that programme is it!!! lol. and blondie, thanks and no everything ok, just a friend needed my help. all better now. x

Saw the last few minutes of todays programme, the Delia Kitchen bit, and was waiting for the joke about the breast! However it was the "Now anyone for Stuffing" bit... Good Grief...

Never mind snoozy, easly done. Perhaps it will be shown again. hope everything ok now.

lol blondie, know what u mean!!! im still upset i never got to c last nights programme, coz i had to dash out for an emergency, nowt serious as such, but my daughter taped wrong channel. :( :( :(

I'll give it ago as well Terry but tonight. I'll watch my recording of it . 1.30pm is feeding time here and I watch nieghbours. Been watching it since i was little.. Hi snoozy this programme has now got me intrigued. Is the sort of programme that you would like to say more but are afraid to incase any body actually likes it and tells you off for posting an opinion.

I have now watched it three times now in almost 'morbid' facination. I am beginning to believe that it is going to be like Prisoner Cell Block H - so awful that it is compelling viewing. It is way over the top like a sort of 1970's Saturday morning childrens programme. But can't wait to get my next 'fix' - will it continue to be soooo bad? - yep - let's hope so.

im with you on that one mammachef, still cant quite work out what i make of it, not sure if im watching coz im intrigued, or hoping it will grow on me!!! lol.

I have been so amazed by this programme that I have refrained from posting my opinion until I knew what my opinion was. I still can't make up my mind why I am watching it, it's so incredibly odd. Whether I watch it to be amazed at how much weirder it could possibly get or just because I am hoping something interesting will actually happen, I'm still trying to work out.

Completely odd.

Seems that Jackjones is on his jackjones on this thread. Seems to be the only person to actually like it so far.

Consumate TRIPE.

I am baffled that some one of Rick Stein's reputation has seen fit to be associated with this drivel. Likewise, I cannot understand how some one with David Pritchard's obvious skills would produce such childish piffle. I feel sorry for Amanda? the welsh cook who does the only sensible (I use the term very loosely) element in the programme. EVRY other aspect is dire.


DRIVEL
PATHETIC
DIRE

How many more words will you need before the programme is transferred for Kirstie to show???

Oops, and Rena too.

Thanks Sharne.
