Unfortunately we can not find similar sets for those brilliant early shows, so remain stuck with old VCR tapes that are showing signs of wear. If anyone out there has found some of the oldies we would appreciate any tips.

To the television viewer, Keith Floyd looked disheveled, bordered on drunkeness, and obviously didn't follow a script handed to him by a Producer--all qualities that him so thoroughly likeable and fun--yet he held inside his soul a serious knowledge and love of food and wine. It's too bad that we don't have more personalities like Keith Floyd cooking on television today.
