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.
