Posh Nosh- Ep 1

[@chamekke]

"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

[@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.

[@makerofjam]

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

[@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.

[@ThomasHarding1990]

''Nicely completely nice'' LOL.

[@tonys9923]

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

[@nicholaslivingston8098]

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

[@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!"

[@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.

[@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.

[@CourtneyPielok]

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

[@tonyle72]

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

[@Genevois1205]

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

[@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?

[@thenoshcast8695]

@@ElleLillian Ok if I come

[@berliozophile]

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

[@andrewthompson9988]

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

[@thenoshcast8695]

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

[@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

[@stantheman719]

Here because Lord Glimbus himself recommended it.

[@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".

[@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

[@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?

[@paddydoublems]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@carmenmckenzie4090]

Love this. Wish it was on DVDs

[@angelicuh7626]

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

[@horribleguts]

"until it's nicely completely nice"

[@devonvergiels5185]

They played this on PBS some years ago. Not nearly often enough. Absolutely brilliant series.

[@AuDHDarling]

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".

[@allys744]

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

[@Juleesuz]

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

[@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

[@Catpoppy502]

Classic, I love this parody...

[@1984potionlover]

Glad I found this little gem of a show :)

[@talory]

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

[@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

[@mydarlinglana]

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

[@renbabe21st]

Oh, Posh Nosh, how I have missed you!

[@thenoshcast8695]

The feeling is mutual. BAZINGA

[@stephenshackleton7173]

this needs a revival!

[@TheSuperQuail]

WHY is this not on the BBC store?

[@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.

[@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.

[@futurfry]

Oh this is just amazing

[@cumbobaggins]

Mummie always used to pay the tradesmen with rosebushes.

[@cyanidebreathmintz]

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

[@stevenbray9056]

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

[@TonyHightower]

I know which side my Brad is battered.

[@rayblack2004]

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

[@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.

[@fleetingselfconfidence612]

this is just pure british comedy

[@fynanjen]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Posh Nosh!

[@danielbakergill]

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.

[@_MSD75_]

Re-annoyance times may vary.

[@RPGmancer]

Put that in, Barry.

[@liliwalker-pratt6615]

These are so funny!!!

[@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.

[@ConstantCompanion]

Lol..this is adorable!

[@rainwire6704]

Mr. blue shirt is the twinky man I've ever set eyes upon

[@cybercita]

who is that singing during the credits? is it alfred deller?

[@ProNorden]

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

[@patrickwhite1826]

"Like schoolboys, rieslings are best enjoyed young!"

[@superclack]

Coming here after seeing Classic Loki

[@Eatmyyshorts]

Saw this on pbs. funny stuff

[@Enid35]

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

[@Acrimonius1408]

Is that Richard E. Grant?

[@Jellybeantiger]

Never gets old

[@thenoshcast8695]

I've missed it.

[@shukterhousejive]

WHERE in North Africa?!

[@hollywoodartchick]

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

[@badminton5920]

"Hints of freshly mown grass"

[@matthorn1710]

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

[@EChai900]

I'm constantly searching for double entendres 😂

[@SuperSoupysoup]

Hilarious. You can't even read the credits xD

[@joecurr1971]

I HAVE A GLORIOUS PURPOSE TOO.

[@GinaSigillito]

I love Barry.

[@judysteadman799]

Wonderful so yummmmy yum . Precious Barry hahaha

[@MGD313]

14 people don't own an aga

[@Texaca]

I had to Google it 😆 ...holy crap, a used one on eBay $4800 🤯

[@LordFoxxyFoxington]

I want the good old fashioned ones. :D

[@25pappy]

Is this a play on The Hamiltons?

[@anelisamorgan8590]

I love how awkward it ends..😂

[@masteraj57]

i have a question. if british people call fries chips, then what do they call chips? (hopefully someone understands and doesn't call me stupid)

[@zahrachopra2367]

masteraj57 Crisps.

[@stevehecht]

Crisps, stupid.

[@bright_young_thing]

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

[@SuperKnowledgeSponge]

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

[@user-qf6yt3id3w]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

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

[@SuperKnowledgeSponge]

@Enid35 Thank you for being so nice! :D

[@drjamyma]

is this the guy from hudson hawk?

[@kevinamuir]

Love this show. lol

[@BenPanced]

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

[@yerk3]

Hannibal Lecter enjoys a good filleted surgeon, har har har.

[@humansforbreakfast]

anyone else think simon is like super cute old man lol.

[@Karl0010]

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

[@accountnamewithheld]

Classic Barry

[@AkiraChan24]

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

[@ThomasMurphy55]

Oh. My, God.

[@timyee446]

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

[@plumeretbonnet]

"partridge"

[@ivmeer1976]

@smillsy71 Thanks!

[@HaikuMalta]

wot? yes.
