Channel 4 must have known he was on his way out, watched that "Keith meets Keith" last night (Keith Allen interviewing Keith Floyd).

Oh sad news, he was hilarious! He should have called his shows "Squiffy Snacks". He was wonderfully fun and exuberant.

A great shame, according to his obituary in the paper today :- "On one occasion he gleefully recalled serving a serially ungrateful diner a carefully cooked beer mat disguised as a breaded escalope of veal. The man ate it without comment but criticised the topping on his crème brûlée. "

RIP Keith Floyd.
A true legend.
He was a fan of the Stranglers and "Waltz in black" was the theme tune to his programmes.
Just listened to it at full blast in memory of the great man.

"Peaches" was also used if I rember (but without the lyrics-by which I mean just the instrumental version but still including the ugh,ugh,uuggh)

That's the one - I was never much of a singer.

Remember being young and watching Floyd with my culinary-genius of an Aunt. Astonished at how much wine went into his meals - and himself!
Truly a role-model!
...except the cooking

Cooking versus Drinking. One round, one knock-out.
Ding Ding!

A shame really as I have cooked his tropical chicken many times.
He will be sorely missed.

Cooked his tropical chicken - I bet there's room here for a few anagrams
