Posh Nosh- Ep 1

Ep 1, Posh Nosh

"Simon's mother, Lady Marchmont, gave me this colander just before she died. Which was sad -- but also happy, because it's a lovely colander."

[@mrashtoast4330]

well done

[@GriggsC123]

What care I for my house and my land? What care I for my treasure, O? What care I for my new-wedded lord, I’m off with the raggle taggle gipsies, O!

[@sararussell1560]

This whole Posh Nosh thing is so hilarious for me, as it reminds me of a pretentious couple my parents knew in the late 70's, who gave extravagant dinner parties to show off. It was an era of fondue, cheese and wine parties, and formal barbecues on the patio.

"If you haven't got an AGA..." (pause) (Snort of contempt)

[@ThomasHarding1990]

''Nicely completely nice'' LOL.

[@shadyadiethegreat]

Such and unknown gem of a programme. Lost count how many times I've watched these.

[@wisecrack4645]

Absolutely. I discovered the program about 15yrs ago whilst living in America. I still pine for those 'boring' Friday nights sat on my couch watching the Britcom line-up on WLIW 21 NY.

[@lilycam90]

I could watch Richard E. Grant describe wine all day.

[@steveparadis2978]

"W want the finest wines known to humanity; we want them here and we want them now!"

[@nicholaslivingston8098]

"I'd be happy to defrost it with my breath..." "Ooo, that sounds nice!"

[@scunnyboybenji]

The language used is superbly funny. Things like "As you can see they have already been embarassed". It draws a real picture of the characters.

[@copywritergena1225]

"So if you hear someone banging away at the bedroom..." "...That'll be a first." God damn I miss this show.

[@ElleLillian]

Duncan said David Bowie was a fan?

"There's a famous saying: Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young."

[@magicaltour1]

I remember watching these when I was a boy, before “Last of the Summer Wine” came on PBS. Being a literal child, I took all this rather seriously! It was only later I realized this was actually a parody of cooking shows, and have come to appreciate the subtler humor.

[@soundseeker63]

He knows which side his Brad is battered (and so do we) but she doesn't seem to!! LMAO "Pour hot bubling water over your fish, until its nicely, completely nice".

[@andrewthompson9988]

I adored this show. It was glorious in its irreverence.

[@thenoshcast8695]

Do you adore the 'nosh'? If so, come on our podcast!

[@sue42r]

loved this first time round, got a terrible memory and couldnt remember the name of the show or the actors, watching a repeat of QI tonight with Richard E Grant and it suddenly came flooding back, thanks for sharing

[@TheChapelMouse]

Absolutely love this! Architect's fish and chips..... Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young.......lol! Annoy your stock for 25 minutes............. Cracking stuff this! Thanks for putting this up.........going to watch the rest now!

[@thenoshcast8695]

Ok if I come

[@berliozophile]

"I love the way Angus uses space." Oh I wish Posh Nosh caught on...sad sad me.

[@tonys9923]

I can’t believe this was TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!!

[@CourtneyPielok]

''Err, school days'' LMFAO. BL00DY HYSTERICAL series.

[@Genevois1205]

'Now, always roast your veg in the finest olive oil we can afford.' 😂😂😂

[@millardforever]

I agree with Squeaky1423 -- this show is howlingly funny, and nothing like what they play on TV here in the states! The first episode I saw was #8 (about the "comfort food," haha) and I literally burst into laughter the moment Richard E. Grant started talking.

[@angelicuh7626]

"I know which side of my Brad is battered" 😂

[@allys744]

The little dance Richard does when he correctly guesses the extra ✨virgin✨ olive oil 😂🤚

[@stevenbray9056]

I must have that recipe book. I want to embarrass potatoes 😁😁😁

[@horribleguts]

"until it's nicely completely nice"

[@janeeyre1990]

The American Food Network show The Barefoot Contessa reminds me of a real-life Posh Nosh: the obscenely snobby hostess spends more time eating with her gay friends than with her own husband and in one episode she made a meal for some builders in which she created a centerpiece using a metal pail as a "vase" and paintbrushes as "flowers".

[@carmenmckenzie4090]

Love this. Wish it was on DVDs

[@axecalibore]

This is one of my favorite shows! Now I can see it again instead of trying to hunt for it as filler after Monarch of the Glen! Thank you, thank you! I love the theme song. My mother used to play it on the piano when I was little. Sounds rather like a man singing falsetto, imitating a woman, but it is good singing regardless.

[@paddydoublems]

"Fabulous work by the way. Don't know how to thank you" "Pay the bill" LOL.

[@seandicken7620]

Loki brought me here. Well, I've been here many times in the past 12 years... but Loki brought me back.

[@nuladee787]

The prostate massager brought you here?

[@GinaSigillito]

I love this show so much. I miss these halcyon days. "If you haven't got an Aga...😐

[@Squeaky1423]

Oh good Lord this is such a discovery, why can't American TV be funny like this???? I want architect's fish and chips, LOL

[@Juleesuz]

First time viewer! This show is a scream! 🤣🤣😍

[@talory]

HA that's Joanna Lumley doing the voiceover... brilliant.

[@Catpoppy502]

Classic, I love this parody...

[@owliegirl64]

"That's school days"...."oh"......LOL!

[@Genevois1205]

Now if you haven't got an Aga.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gavinthor4479]

If you haven't got an Aga... you really aren't equipped to cook your own meals now, are you.

[@1984potionlover]

Glad I found this little gem of a show :)

[@delphinia99]

I love how Barry isn't as culturally unaware as Simon thought he was. Simon is actually mad that Barry recognizes the type of wine and cooking method for the veg! He clearly gets off on lording his "superiority" over others.

[@AliasUndercover]

This is awesome! I've never heard of it before, but I'm about to watch all of it.

[@thenoshcast8695]

Ok if I come

[@stephenshackleton7173]

this needs a revival!

[@futurfry]

Oh this is just amazing

[@TonyHightower]

I know which side my Brad is battered.

[@mydarlinglana]

Thanks for uploading this. I remember when WLIW used to air them in between shows. Missed it loads.

[@cyanidebreathmintz]

I wish it caught on too!..its brilliiant!!

[@renbabe21st]

Oh, Posh Nosh, how I have missed you!

[@thenoshcast8695]

The feeling is mutual. BAZINGA

[@nycbearff]

This show was my introduction to Richard E. Grant - he plays such a perfect assh ole in this!

[@UncleBoogieRF]

I've never seen him be bad in anything. Even stuff that everything else was bad in.

[@TheSuperQuail]

WHY is this not on the BBC store?

[@cumbobaggins]

Mummie always used to pay the tradesmen with rosebushes.

[@liliwalker-pratt6615]

These are so funny!!!

[@fynanjen]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Posh Nosh!

[@rayblack2004]

Barry reminds me of Alfred Molina - the mug comment was the best

I'm appalled he holds his wine glass incorrectly.

[@neilaspin008]

First World problems, eh?

[@FuuuckOffff]

Richard E Grant is a lifelong tee totaller. Don't worry, he's suitably posh.

[@ConstantCompanion]

Lol..this is adorable!

[@judysteadman799]

Wonderful so yummmmy yum . Precious Barry hahaha

[@anelisamorgan8590]

I love how awkward it ends..😂

[@ProNorden]

Great parody of ....at least a few things.

[@Eatmyyshorts]

Saw this on pbs. funny stuff

[@RPGmancer]

Put that in, Barry.

[@matthorn1710]

Hmmmmm.... I could have sworn that Posh Nosh was a unaired pilot that Christine and Neal Hamilton made.

[@Enid35]

@SuperKnowledgeSponge "Disappoint the veg ... give them a frisson, they like that." (frisson - a little thrill or shudder - I had to look it up!)

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

This is clever comedy. No outright laughs, but a LOT of dry wit.

[@Karl0010]

"There's a famous sayning: Like Schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young". Obviously coined by Catholic priests.

[@hollywoodartchick]

That is really cool! Thanks for explaining that. I have wondered who that was.

[@Jellybeantiger]

[@thenoshcast8695]

I've missed it.

[@SuperSoupysoup]

Hilarious. You can't even read the credits xD

[@GinaSigillito]

I love Barry.

[@joecurr1971]

I HAVE A GLORIOUS PURPOSE TOO.

[@ivmeer1976]

OMG, American foodie loving this. Now I want to watch all the episodes. BTW, what does naff mean? I would love to understand the caviar joke.

[@theyos88]

8 years later, buuut it means rubbish, lame, of-low quality, a bit shit. Also used in the term 'naff off' which is a gentler form of something you can guess the meaning of.

[@BenPanced]

I swear, I can't tell the difference between this and Her Majesty Queen Nigella Lawson...

[@bright_young_thing]

need a reboot of this where they copy Nigella’s pronunciation of microwave lol

[@AkiraChan24]

be sure they are "completely nice" as well :)

[@timyee446]

Is it just me or is Barry simply an overweight Simon Cowell?

[@talory]

At 7:01 she says "filleted SURgeon"... eek!

[@SuperKnowledgeSponge]

What did she say at 2:17? "A freesom, they like that"

wot? yes.

[@Amcgleish]

That might be true in some parts of the UK, but where I grew up in Scotland it's definitely sexual. I recall being surprised by a Welsh friend calling herself a slut.
