Keith Meets Keith
Ch4, Monday 14 September 10:00pm - 11:10pm
Whatever happened to Keith Floyd? It's a question that crops up now and then in discussions of celebrity chefs because when it comes to food on TV, Floyd wrote the book. Sure, the likes of Fannie Cradock and Delia Smith had done dainty recipes in studios before him, but starting in the early 1980s, Floyd did something different. Instead of bringing great food to us, he took us out to it, touring the world and often concocting his dishes on a makeshift kitchen in the middle of a field, while gulping from a glass of wine and barking at the cameraman. Since he vanished from our screens, we've missed his panama hats and leathery vowels - and so, it seems, has Keith Allen. So for this one-off documentary (for which DVDs were sadly unavailable), Allen hunts down Floyd to his home in rural France, where the two Keiths compare notes, we're told, on "the mendacity of television, the state of modern Britain, and the human condition". It should be a fascinating encounter.
