Posh Nosh is one of the great parodies of recent times, a masterpiece of comedy, and although dreadfully too short, keeps getting funnier with each viewing.
Useful tip: if you can’t afford £16.80 for a kilo of Chipolatas, you shouldn’t really be starting a family.
Written by Jon Canter and Arabella Weir, directed by Chris Langham, and starring Richard E Grant with Arabella Weir, this faux cooking show from the BBC back in 2002 is nothing short of absurd genuis. The recurring themes around cooking, social status, marriage and sexuality are woven more deeply and eloquently in eight short episodes than most shows attain in their entire run.
A truly exceptional example of parody, Posh Nosh borrows the traditional conventions of the popular cooking show to mock and critique the genre, while also staying true to its own sensible nonsense, a stunning achievement for a show thats episodes last less than ten minutes.
Oh, thank you for posting this! I’ve caught bits of this from time to time but only by accident as filler between other programs.
Now I know how to embarrass an onion!

This show is so wonderfully awkward – thank you for posting. Next time I will remember to humiliate my bread before serving it as left overs…

wow these are great thanks

Hilarious! Thanks so much for the videos – by the way, I think there are a few ‘subtle’ hints about Simon’s sexuality…

What resolution are those H.264 files? Are they MOVs?
Just deciding whether to get from here or the box. Thanks :¬)

I love this little series, if only there were more episodes. I still love it, “that would be a first.”

Posh Nosh was excellent. I’m glad someone else knows about it. It makes me feel slightly less nerdy. I may just have to go and download them all for my brother, who actually introduced me to it.
