The Hairy Bikers

[d000hg]

I quite like them.

I bought their 'Hairy Dieters' cookbook for Mr ms for Christmas.

We have it. Pretty good ideas in there and they don't taste "diety" which is the important thing.

I'm sure there's a bible pun in there somewhere......

[vetran]

they don't swear, they cook manly stuff so attract the modern man audience.

a lot lighter than mr Pukka. or Gordon F**********************
not as green and geeky as HFW. (who reminds me of some old friends who brewed their way through life.

Along the diety/deity route?

They clearly no nothing about food which to be honest I am not going to hold against them as TV is filled with food people who know nothing about food. They also seem to think they can get away with an Ant and Dec type on screen relationship which they cant, they are not funny and it all seems terribly scripted.

And they can't go 5 minutes without talking about carry out food they have 'up north', chip butties, bacon rolls. They spent last nights show in Hong Kong wittering on about what they get in their local Chinese. They might as well went down their local take away and asked Sammy the chef to go through the menu.

It is TV for people who go on holiday to Spain and complain the English breakfasts are not as good as back home.

I can't stand them. The hariy bikers are just plain annoying with their overly camp voices. It would be funny if they hated each other in real life. They have a good gig from the beeb though. I'd like a roadtrip through the US, filling my face and getting paid for it.

But then I can be easily annoyed where TV is concerned.

One thing that bugs me is all the camera work that happens now. like that poncy Nigel Slater. He's supposed to show you how he's making something but the camera is on his face - then they cut to the food.....out of focus....in focus....back to out of focus. Its like a trip to sodding spec savevrs. Then he puts whatever slop he's concocted in his mouth and its all HHmmm Hmmmm you get a hint of Nom Nom hmmm basil and hmmmm nom.,.. **** off you poncy tulip! Result is another broken telly and another refusal from the BBC for a replacement.

It's light entertainment, not a school for haute cuisine. If you want serious information about how to cook, sign in to Cordon Bleu or some other cookery school but don't expect it from two blokes making a telly programme.

Lowest common denominator light entertainment programming is not what BBC 2 is for.

When tulipe like this is served up I can see why people get fooked off about paying the licence fee.

Oh, I don't know.

I love some of the road trips they do where they buy local produce and knock up something typical of the local area. Particularly enjoyed the Turkish one they did.

Let's face it, they're not as annoying as the fat tongued mockney.

Not as good as Rick Stein though.

Anyhow, for the record, give me triple D or MVF any day of the week!

WGGS. Saw a bit of the hairy bikers last night in Hong Kong in an overpopulated tower block. They were acting very suspiciously as if it was the first time the cameras were on them. Either that or they were very uncomfortable with where they were. Painful to watch, so didn't. Triple D or MvF any day.

Because they don't make the kind of food you like they know nothing about food?
