Fuji Shooter Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I watched the program on TV last night - he didn't look too well then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Some people didn't like his style... I used to love watching him cook. Quite refreshing against all the "delias" of the celeb cooking era. Sad to see him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 shame, always liked him. so was the Keith Allen programme last night a coincidence in timing or planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddster Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Just found out. Absolutlely gutted. I've followed KF round the world via his programs and was watching him only the other day in Madagascar.Read his autobiography and he was a hoot and a chancer. Funnily, when the docs were doing the fill MOT when he discovered a lump, they found his liver to be in perfect order-suppose its preserved through pickling. We've lost a genuine British icon-never to be matched. Have a drink on me Keith. regards Fudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I too watched the Keith Allen programme on Floyd. I have to say Keith Allen's "sweary geezer thug" act is wearing thin - no make that "worn out". Floyd looked awful; "ravaged" even. That much food, booze, cigs and ex-wives is obviously not good for you. As much as I liked Floyd on telly you just know he would have been impossible to live with or work with. It was a shame to see that despite watching endless re-runs of Floyd on Sky (and therefore Floyd on Food remaining a current and fresh memory in the Mungler household), he had in fact dropped off the face of the planet about 3 years ago. I suppose if Jeremy Clarkson got kidnapped tomorrow no one would notice for at least 3 years until Dave ran out of Top Gear re-runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashman Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Damn shame. Great personality, not the best businessman. But I know in whose restaurant I would dine, not Ramsay, not Harriett, not Worrell Thompson. The only restaurateur close was Patrick Gwynn-Jones at Pomegranates: all meals started with his special bloody Mary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Great shame, but you can't say he didn't live the life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I have always enjoyed his cooking programmes and still do. He was a true pioneer of TV Gastronomy. Watching Keith on Keith yesterday surprised me as to how old and frail the man had become. For me at least, I didn't like the picture that was painted of the man. As much as he carved himself a life of wine women and song, he obviously had far too much heart ache in his life, to become so bitter. RIP Keith Floyd.

TonySmith Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sad news, was not at all interested in TV chefs till I saw Floyd, made for compulsive viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Watching Keith Floyd got me intrested in cooking, such a sad loss, but i will wait for the re-runs with baited breath and a glass of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexr Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Great man Ever since Floyd on france my family have indulged in 'Floydian cookery'. No family meal, when all three generations are there, is conducted without the consumtion of vast amounts of wine in the cooking prosess.I think that's fitting personnal tribute to a great man, never to cook sunday lunch sobber again.

LEFTY478 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'd loved to have been on his crew, when he was a Subby. Not only would he have been a willing brew-biatch, he'd have knocked up decent scoff too. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
