Please don't worry about Chopper Inadequacy, Alan. I'm sure you're well up to standard.

'Come Dine With Me' can be quite funny because the food can be either good or very bad (swiss roll and custard) and then it would depend on whether the contestants actually liked each other or not when it came to voting. The commentary is a little bit over the top sometimes, but that is my only gripe.

Really I am surprised that they haven't come up with 'Cooking on the Road during a Coach Trip' yet.

I seem to recall an early series of Huge Fearlessly-Eatsitall bobbing around the canal system in a boat called the Bain-Marie, and foraging a bit. He then tried to get Joe Public to try the things he cooked.

Sorrel from the tow-path where folks walk their dogs, and inflicting woodlouse omelette on some poor unsuspecting chap who was passing by with his little lad (who tried manfully to be polite and say it was OK, but whose face told another tale) are two episodes I remember.

The whole thing was a bit crazy, maybe Parry would have a different take.

Never knowingly, at least. IIRC he reckoned they taste like shrimp, which wouldn't encourage me.

Sorry C-flat it just reminded me of the Peter Kaye send up of reality TV Xfactor-Strictly-On Ice. My imagination ran away with me a bit.

Well, would you believe it - a new series with the Hairy Bikers on BBC2 this evening - number 1 of 8: "Mums Know Best".

Words fail me...

That's ok Patsy. I fully understand.

"Britains'-Got-Strictly-Come-Dine-With-Me-On-Ice-Factor-In-A-Camper-Van" is probably coming to us soon anyway!!!!
