KEITH FLOYD - 'FLOYD ON HANGOVERS' (1993)

The 3 day self-preservation plan!
It’s no great secret that legendary TV chef and bon vivant Keith Floyd enjoyed a drink or two, both on and off the camera. The story goes that when he first started filming his shows he didn’t know what to do with his hands, so kept a glass of wine close by to occupy them. Therefore, when Keith Floyd tells you he has a hangover detox plan, you sit up and listen, because it is likely few have had quite so many epic hangovers as he.
In an hour long episode for the BBC filmed in 1993, Keith sets out (and, remarkably, follows) a three day post-party detox plan to have you feeling spick and span for the next round of festive drinking. Remedies vary hugely, from an egg, cream, sherry and nutmeg drink, to bowls of ramen and early morning gin and bourbon concoctions (which go heavy on the spirits and light on the mixer...). Not all of Floyd's gags have aged as well as his cooking, but this episode is one for the annuls of TV cooking history.
