Posh Nosh - EP2 - Birthday Parties

[@madamewoselle]

I accidentally found this on PBS years ago and didn't realize it was a parody at first, until it started amping up the crazy. One of the best-written comedy shows ever. So close to the real thing, it's scary.

[@davidm4453]

Same! When she started talking about "embarrassing" the carrots it clicked

[@alansturgess1324]

Richard E. Grant - genius actor, no matter what genre. Arabella Weir - perfect, the way is so subtle when being abrasive and using her own brand of ridiculous cooking terms ... a serene but not comatose cake mixture. Brilliant. (I've never forgotten the way she embarrasses vegetables in other episodes when she peels them).

[@MsTimelady71]

Is it sad I know people like this?:) One of my favorite short lived shows. Love how Minty always has to be the cook while Simon drinks the wine!

[@SandraNevermind]

The British do humor like no one else.

[@rebeccatrafford2417]

DAMN RIGHT

[@thecheeseburglar8544]

Amen

"Now that's the perfect cakemix: serene, but not comatose."

[@WilfredCthulu]

I love how much tension you can feel building between Simon and Minty.

[@soundseeker63]

Cool I had no idea Arabella Weir was such a sharp writer. My respect for her has just gone up.

[@marcvcivsnoveboracensis]

Everything about this little series is perfectly executed.

[@soundseeker63]

Crisp flavour crisps!? Who wrote the script for this show? They are genius. I especially like that little gem of advice form Minty. "Useful tip: If you can't afford sixteen pounds eighty for a kilo of chipolatas, you should't really be starting a family. LOL !!!!Thanks Minty, i'll bear that in mind.

[@Genevois1205]

Useful tip: If you can't afford £16.80 for a kilo of chipolatas, you shouldn't really be starting a family. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

I shrieked at that one😭 Genius

"It's like sucking nectar through a hangman's noose" OMG BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[@bonbon1995]

No doubt the number one best theme tune of all time.

[@99fruitbat]

Thank you for posting this....been looking for it for some time now....his repressed homosexuality combined with his barely suppressed loathing for his wife make it so funny to me...Richard E Grant... : )

[@Genevois1205]

The colour of sunrise over the Duke of Dorset' s villa in Tuscany where I met Sir Elton John...😂

[@bowiechick]

Posh Nosh is amazing. I can't stop watching! I'm glad my fiance told me about it.

You can tell this is brilliant, clever and funny. The BBC never released it on DVD!

[@CourtneyPielok]

''And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, IF you don't REALLY love your children'' 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ZizziHorrorshow]

I love the theme song "Wraggle Taggle Gypsies" sung by the countertenor Andreas Scholl xD

[@michaelemory552]

Having seen only a minute of these two years ago, I needed a librarian’s help to come up with series title. When I said, “embarrassed vegetables” , she knew. Very professional keeping straight face - or might there be hours of outtakes?

[@xkelbix93]

This must have been really difficult to film.

[@JasonYork940]

Crisp-Flavoured Crisps!

[@SvenSvensvensonsson]

LMFAO... "So... put 120 grams of organic hand salted organic butter, plus 250 grams of organic caster sugar into your other mixer and disorientate until they're the color of sunrise over the Duke of Daucetts viller in Tuscani, where I met Sir Elton John."

[@EdgeXXI]

Like many of you, I too stumpled onto this after Hollywood at Home. Where has this bedazzled gem been hiding from me all this time?

"Gold! That's GOLD, Jerry!"

Would anyone please know who sings the theme song? I just love his counter tenor!

Alas, this is all there is!

The Russell Crowe of chocolate 🍫

If I was lucky ID catch this on pbs

Oh, how I loved this show. Sadly, though, Ina Garten does stuff exactly like this--without the irony of course. ;)

[@MomentsGap]

thats the perfect cake mix- serene, but not comatose

It's the Russel Crowe of chocolate

LOL this is hilarious

did you make sure to educate him on Belgium chocolate first?

Rich in every way

[@Onlichka]

i love them. what is the original, that this people try to copy?

[@garyfenlon5769]

I always thought that a lot of the snobbery was taken from the old british tv chef 'Fanny Craddock' she appeared with her husband 'Johnnie' but Fanny was the one that wore the trousers in that relationship!!! There's a fantastic BBC film called 'Fear of Fanny' based on them ,available on KZbin.

[@Onlichka]

Pirouette the adopted eggs 🤣🤣🤣

Disappointed Chestnuts.

[@RaysTrack]

Fantastic episode - but I should point out that dogs must not be given chocolate : it's poisonous to them.

[@DottieBengo]

He definitely swings both ways

[@Ascyltos]

Only 92% cocoa? What are you, a wuss? I've had 99% chocky in my time and it was brutal.

[@tomstickland]

Disorientate the potatoes.

[@whoijacket]

@pinballrobbie ..... yes, that's the joke.

[@asteroceras]

@coneyandapop You know you. Can use. Commas if you like instead. Of lots of full. Stops for no reason did. You actually go to school at. All. .

[@PurplePuppyPoison]

It's called aristocracy.

[@Ryuuie]

@talory Rats can eat chocolate just fine. Dogs and cats can't eat chocolate.

[@charlottemacdonald9576]

I thought chocolate was bad for dog

That's twisted British humour for you...👍😂

After all this, serving a chocolate cake to a dog. This show needed an American-length series run.

[@PNETriffid]

Less is more, as the Americans will never learn.

[@ariel_haymarket]

The actress for Minty wrote the script.

[@irenemalone]

Chocolate is toxic to all dogs. It contains theobromine. The toxicity depends on the dose, so the darker the chocolate the more theobromine, and the larger the dog the more it can eat before being poisoned. It's really not something you should ever feed your dog, no matter what the breed.

[@TheNotBees]

Thanks for killing the joke.

[@miyojewoltsnasonth2159]

Irene, you are American. Correct?

[@Pedgerow]

Wait a minute. If you give chocolate cake to a dog, won't it...die?

[@miyojewoltsnasonth2159]

Hopefully.

[@childrenofminervaofficial4316]

That's the point of the joke. A macabre joke nonetheless.

[@pinballrobbie]

Of course if they really gave chocolate to their dogs it would kill them.....

[@mhrgall]

And then all the dogs die from eating chocolate :-D

[@talory]

Do not ever, even at the suggestion of a cooking show parody like this, give your pets chocolate. Ever. It's poison to their systems.

[@TheNotBees]

That's kind of the joke.

[@Genevois1205]

Wasn't that the whole point of the joke? I assumed it was...
