Not a lot of activity here, I see... not able to dig much up about it online, either.
Anyone know of any news about a possible DVD release, or any other seasons? I assume since it's been a couple of years, they're done with the show, but I had to ask... We love it!
Always form a relationship with your meat!
OK, this show has gotten my husband and me into laugh-fests galore. We just look at each other after watching these 2 abusing their food and wine and just burst out laughing.
It's showing on Saturday nights on PBS here and we have loved every minute of it.
I love the insane things she does to the food: "disappoint your sauce." "embarass your root vegetables." what does that even mean?????
very funny.
I just saw it for the first time late last night on PBS. It came on after a movie, and I thought it was hilarious! I was hysterical during the paella episode when she's stuffing her face with it before she even serves it. I had to come online to learn more about it, and although the BBC website has some info, it doesn't state (as far as I could see) if the show is still in production. But boy is it funny, and very clever as well. I love all of the underlying facts about their marriage that seep out during the show, it makes it all the more funny, in addition to what they do to the food.
shareI, too, discovered this culinary comedy delight just last evening...running from one TV for the Super Bowl and the other for Simon and Minty. The writing is wonderful. The characters are a riot and the actors must have had a BALL with these performances! Plus the recipes are real and can be found on the BBC website. Posh Nosh is like the perfect chocolate cake...you can never get enough! I'm addicted! I want MORE!
Where has this brilliant little parody been for the last three years! I stumbled upon it last night in the wee hours on my local PBS station and couldn't stop watching these hilarious, dry as a bone vignettes which perfectly skewer pretentious foodie presciousness (even the bowls they prepare food in are "organic"), upper class English twits and general food world snobbery. It's as if Oscar Wilde had written for Nigella Lawson. Is this show still in production?

BBC does not always film shows continuosly. Sometimes they can break for more than a year and then bring a show back. It's not like here where a show is back next season, or its permently cancelled. I hope they make more Posh Nosh, but I know I have not seen them all. I wish they would put them on DVD. We save them on DVR permently right now. I really want that space back on the DVR, so they better get those disks out soon!!!!!!!!!
shareI had seen it for the first time this weekend. PBS aired back-to-back episodes. This really should have a regular weekly timeslot on one of the cable stations like the Food Network or the Cooking Channel (or whatever they're called). They definately have a new fan here - I'll watch it where ever it's aired.
The only thing I worry about is that some station executive here in the states will get the idea to Americanize it with a new cast - and thereby lose the charm that it currently has.

I live in NYC.
I'd just finished watching the Flying Circus, and Posh Nosh came on.
I've never seen such a weird comedy show before. Seriously. That's a compliment. This show is so odd, but so utterly hilarious.
The food analogies are great:
"Oh, now embarrass your chestnuts"
Huh?
I love arbitrary humor like that. One of my favorite scenes involves the husband test tasting olive oil and in one test he spits it out on his wife mistakenly. It's hilarious!

I saw it on PBS the other night after Flying Circus too.
So ridiculously funny!
I believe (and I might be wrong) that she means to remove their skins or shells, as when she embarrasses a turkey or a vegetable, she seems to skin them, as if embarrassing them by stripping off their clothes, as it were.
shareI saw this when it originally aired on the BBC, I wish there were some repeats over here or I lived in America to get it on PBS. Brilliant programme, maybe I should ask a relative to tape it and send it over lol.
shareI am watching this right now and absolutely think it is funny. I did not know what to expect at first. I thought that the actor was Richard E Grant. I loved the episode on Shildren's birthday parties.

There are five or six episodes on YouTube.. watch them often.
i love this show...i found it randomly on pbs. its great, the husband guy is gay, or bi and hates his wife. she knows it but wont admitt it.. hah hes in love with his tennis instructor.
this show reminds me of arrested development.
"I never wanted kids, what do they know about food?"
shareThe outros by Joanna Lumley also crack me up. :)
It's a shame how this show is treated on PBS. It's basically used as filler due to its running time. If this were a proper series, it would be better syndicated to PBS stations, and would probably popup in their primetime britcom lineups.
It's also funny how PBS has edited out certain words like "piss" when PBS is usually given leeway with things like that, an since they usually use this as late night/overnight filler.
I hope we see more REG in comedies.
