Speaking of food - which is what this Kingdom is eminently suited for - does anyone remember the beauty that was the 1980's BBC cult series Floyd on Food, which properly speaking should have been called Floyd on Booz, or perhaps even more properly Floyd on Speed?


I loved that series. The apogee was the program where a tuxedo-clad Keith Floyd traveled around Britain in search of a good hangover cure. And boy, did he need one.

The Oz series with Floyd in khaki shorts and cork hat downing gallons of Australian Chardonnay wasn't bad either.

Wherever he is and whatever he does nowadays, here's to you, Keith!
