Keith Floyd RIP

[clivex]

The only TV chef I really enjoyed. His shows in the 80's were classics.

I find the dim Jamies and painful ainsleys of this world unwatchable....

KF was a true original and a nut

RIp Keith

 

[Aragorn]

Seconded. The original and best TV chef...

 

[Colin Phillips]

Original????.............surely not.

There was a documentary on Channel 4 last night about him, 'When Keith met Keith'. Hosted by Keith Allen. It was very funny, but also quite sad.

 

[Roddy Owen]

Original,surely not.

Phillip Harben would have something to say about that ,followed by Fanny Craddock

Not to mention her husband Johnny. Did he really say, " May all your donuts look like Fanny's" or is that another urban myth?

Graham Kerr would have given Floyd a run for his wine glass.

Graham Kerr was an egotisical, vain and humourless bore. A very typical chef

 

[Grasshopper]

Only just watched the Keef Allen documentary on C4 last night. To be honest, Floyd looked in tatters, and didn't seem to me to have much time left.

He exhibited the general despair of a truly helpless alcoholic - such a shame.

A legend. Still love watching old clips of him on Saturday Kitchen. A genuine breath of fresh air.

I quite liked his programmes but a lot of his food looked awful.
