It’s 2024 and I’ve not seen this documentary before. Keith Floyd inspired me in the ‘80s and ‘90s with his authenticity and wit, and honest cooking; what a breath of fresh air! It has been a joy and also heartbreaking to see this documentary. He was still the showman for the camera but clearly ravaged by his vices. God bless. Rest in peace.
As an alcoholic this is utterly heartbreaking. Especially when he meets his daughter. The man clearly needed help, alcoholism destroyed a great man and it's a sad sight. God help me this is inspirational. Thankyou Keith RIP my friend xx🙏❤️🇬🇧
@@burprobrox9134 I'm a chef and also an alcoholic; I recognise that mindset too; watching Keith there must be how I seem to other people when I'm pissed out of my skull. Any advice on getting sober?
@@Sr19769p Just to add I have alcohol problems, maybe not to Keith's level. But I am now giving up my 4-5 bottles of red a week, I don't want to end up like Keith. Who has clearly been ravaged by his alcohol consumption. I gave up for 3 years before, but fell into old habits during Covid. Time to get back on the horse
I remember watching this at the time. It was so well received and was a proper water cooler moment the next day. Everyone was talking about it. And then we found out Keith Floyd had died the previous night. He would got a great kick out of the fact that he’d managed to upstage himself like that!!
He lived a long life in a short time! That’s why he seems old when he really wasn’t! Rest in peace sir, you are loved and missed and part of why I have a love of cooking.
Wonderful and poignant to see my very first TV crush. I hero-worshipped Keith Floyd. He inspired me to drink; not cook - and to enjoy life to the fullest. The one and only blot on this superb landscape is Keith Allen - who, in trying so hard to be Keith Floyd, just came across even more as the “prick” Keith F correctly described as. A very unfunny, charmless man interviewing a TV great who brought me and millions of others pleasure and genuine laughter. RIP Keith Floyd, you wonderful soul ❤️
This is a hard watch at times. I am grateful for this upload. I've read his autobiographies, followed his career with joy and interest. ~The world is a different place, since Keith's demise.
@@benkasminbullock Wouldn't thé World bé an awful place if everyone was thé same. I détest blandness and at least Keith wasn't bland. Hé is deceased but his vidéos continue to entertain. I know plenty of ghastly people who never bring any joy with their présence.
Keith was unique and an absolute charismatic charming legend in absolutely everything he did in his life . A tragic loss , but so glad Keith Allen had the opportunity to capture him in all his glory before his tragic demise .
I will never forget sitting on my Grandma and Grandad’s rug in front of the electric fire on a Sunday night before school and watching Keith. He was like my mad uncle.
What an amazing video - real tv journalism. Showing it as it really is, but sympathetic and humanist at the same time. I would love to have met Keith, but I was sadly nowhere near his galaxial orbit! RIP Keith - you were loved!
As a recovering alcoholic, this is quite disturbing. To watch him struggle to bond with his daughter is just heartbreaking. After years of heavy drinking, my own daughter asked me to cease drinking and seek help, which I did. 10 months sober and sober just for today.
I recently read Keith's autobiography. It is clear Keith, in many ways, was a man of many vulnerbailites that many too advatnage of. He suffered from depression and fame bemused him. In the latter part of his life and as movingly articualted in his book, he seems utterely adrift, lonely, and viewed himself as a failure. His only true companion who nñwas always with him following several failed nnarriages was alcohol and deep personal introspection. Keith life was bitter sweat and far too short. However, he was a force of nature and he is greatly missed by all tjat3 admired him on a profesional and personal level. Slurp in peace, Keith and thank you!
I’m with you. This documentary was very difficult to watch due to Floyd’s condition, especially due to recent circumstances of my own. My mom was only 59 when she passed away due to cirrhosis of the liver. Growing up she was such a sweet, vibrant woman who loved me and my two brothers with all her heart and went above and beyond to provide everything we needed and most things we wanted. But she enjoyed her bourbon, even after she got diabetes, she never slowed down her drinking despite our protests, she did what she wanted and didn’t like being told what to do. She was a shell of her former self during the last year of her life. So needless to say, this documentary hit a little too close to home.
As heartbreaking as this is to watch, I’m glad it was made. He is so lucid, intelligent, had the quick wit and beloved unadulterated sense of sarcastic humour. Even, excuse me for saying, in his increasingly decrepit physical body. He was a treasure. No-one lives forever. But I think those who were “supposedly” close him, abused his genuine kindheartedness. To be successful in business you have to have a certain ruthlessness. I think all the women that married him were seeing him as an opportunity . None stood by him. And…Who takes away a beloved property from someone when he is in this state? He is a National treasure. Sorely missed.
Nice at the start but kind of a hit piece. He liked a drink and a laugh as did the reporter. So how easy it is for reporter to use Floyd's hangover as a metaphor for the end.
I think Keith was a legend and also feel for his daughter, it's really not easy and everything that goes with it just causes SO much heartache and totally destroys families and the person just WILL not change.
Loved Keith, I have his Dvd collection and several Books. There will never ever be another Keith. What a fabulous, talented man. If everyone i ever met in my life were like him, i would have had the greatest time ever over the past 55 years. Miss him terribly on our screens. Stevie in Scotland.
JonniePolyester thanks for putting this on RUclips.. my all time favourite cook/ chef he was a joy to watch so likeable and genuine .. not like this money hungry fame hungry bunch we have on television today .
Great documentary, this should perfect illustrate what drinking heavily from your early 20's until your late 60's will do to you. Can barely string a sentence together and just rambles at the table. A very sad and relatable scene at 40 minutes in. I respect his ability to cook, his commitment and also what he has done for the culinary world.
He showed himself to be sharp and perceptive. He had people round and wanted to party with them. Honestly I grew up with much much worse; people who drank to be drunk, throw up and be violent.
Should never had been made. Keith Allen served his own ends by going ahead with this, Keith Floyd was in no fit state, physically or emotionally to do this documentary. Very sad to see and much of it too personal for us voyeurs to witness. We should not have been given the chance.
also agree, its basically like asking a drunk homeless man on the street where did you're life go wrong then dragging some normal family members out. for all the people that call him a legend, I don't see much happyness there
@@Benaroundtown Showed more about the daughter - clearly miffed that she had missed out on her easy money inheritance. 'Sorry, babe, nothing left for you after I have paid off mama!' So obvious....
I agree, mind you I have never heard of keith allen ( lucky me ), but based on this, all I can see is a talentless, egotistical, prurient, voyeuristic, narcissistic arsehole who thinks that saying fuck and cunt on tv makes him cool, whereas, in truth, he is just some old git with delusions of adequacy...rip Keith Floyd... I loved watching you, you brought the sunshine with you every time you appeared....this disgusting ' documentary ' should be never have been shown.... Shame upon the makers....
@@amandaorourke3036 absolutely agree. It was painful to watch. Keith Allen came over as a complete arsehole, exploiting Keith Floyd's alcoholism. The dinner scene with his daughter is cringe making voyeurism. I really regret coming across this so called documentary and wish I hadn't seen it.
Thank you Keith for this remarkable and very real account of a true legend.. I love Oliver Reed too… I’d love you to do a documentary on him.. … it’s the REALITY that’s important. “ Silvo”
Right I'm 6 mins in, and this is the best thing I've ever seen. Will post again as necessary. The cans in the fridge don't think they would be needed today, but a slurp is a must dear boy.
I'm glad to watch this again, Channel 4 keep prohibiting it! Keith Floyd was brilliant, educational, entertaining and funny. A sad end to his life as he was clearly a troubled man. I loved his shows since he first appeared, I'm now about to turn 51 and still love watching his shows online. I absoluteley cannot stand that pretentious PR, money making machine mockney twat Jamie Oliver. He and his ilk are just interested in money. Floyd was passionate about food, educated us and made us laugh. Very much missed, along with David Pritchard.
People like Oliver are entertainers....in-and-out of posh shops, trendy scooter, poncey friends, dancing about prepping food. ....and then his fans sit there, alone, with a TV dinner and a wine box. At least his restaurant "empire" has crashed.
@His Masters Voice he did it his way. Traveled, laughed and had the odd tipple. Ate, loved and had another tipple. Made money, lost money and, you've guessed it, had another tipple. Rather sit next to keith at a dinner party, then some boring sheep who saved his money for a retirement that they may not even live to see. Each to their own I guess.
Awe, cheers for this. Recall it, but glad up to witness again.. So many classic scenes, but the one with his Daughter when he admitted he was honest about his loneliness + Drank to anaesthetize from the emotional pain (during life) was heartbreaking. RIP Keith you utter Legend.
I have only seen him in high spirits on the TV in the past having a great time drinking and cooking. To look at him like this, a truly ruined man in the end is terribly sad.
@@robertloader9826I heard a saying once in regards to how certain people live their lives: “I’m here for a good time, not a long time”. That definitely describes Keith Floyd.
I love Keith.. and (I'm a mad foodie) to this day I curse at the TV when a TV chef says they are performing a difficult technique, say filleting a fish, preparing kidneys, rope-crimping pastry etc, and the damn camera immediately moves to the presenter's face (presumably because the food-hating lovey director wants to catch the "human moment" of the chef concentrating) rather than showing the technique!! It happens 90% or more of the time. This is why RUclips chefs like Chef John of "Food Wishes", or Andrew Rea of "Binging with Babish" are so popular - almost never with a face on camera, only their hands.
Your welcome. no unfortunately the Oz series has proven very hard to obtain. there is one full episode on youtube. and recently in the Keith Floyd appreciation society on FB someone has posted two full episodes on their that you can watch.

An absolut original of a man. May he rest in peace.
Thanks for this I saw it once years ago, this man was a true inspiration to me. Im now a two rosette chef. I am saddened however how disrespectful this documentary is. Better than nothing though.
I haven’t read all the comments so unsure if this has been discussed (I suspect it has)... but this is a very sad doc of a man with Alzheimer’s. Those who have seen a loved one up close suffering will recognise this. I actually found the ending very upsetting and I’m surprised the family let it be broadcast
Wet-Brained up before midday as many with Chronic Alcoholism have/had. The responses are drooled speech, slurred insults & rude behaviour. Just glad am Abstinent "just for today" which hope turns to many. Cheers Keith. BLESS.
Bloody hell, I just found out when Keith Floyd watched this documentary, he had a heart attack and died. He really regretted doing this documentary, and I feel bad now. However, this documentary as awful as it is, really opens your eyes to how awful alcohol is and how life is not so glitz and glamour behind a happy man holding a glass of good wine.
Its pretty obvious that Floyds health was turning for the worst, he probrably could have done without the likes of Kieth Allen sapping whatever strength he had left for his own benefit.
The end....I still love him. Wouldn't want to know him. But a true man unquestionable unapologetic. Not a good husband or father. But to change the world , you have to drop a few balls in the juggling act of life. RIP Keith. God had a headache the day after you rocked up.
This is kind of sad, but I'm glad I've watched it. It's good to celebrate his life, and his work, and he was very good at it. But I suspect he'd give it all up for a better relationship with his daughter. A great character with obvious flaws, 99% more interesting than 99% of the people on tele these days
HA! Though this documentary isn't the best summation of Floyd's brilliant tv cook show history - it has brilliant moments of Floyd honesty... also check out 'A Farewell to Floyd - Keith Floyd Tribute Documentary' ... well worth the watch on the tv series Floyd created.
@KEITH FLOYD'S FINAL INTERVIEW You're the same person as the"His Master's Voice" account aren't you? The wording in both of their many comments here is so similar beyond coincidence.
I really admire Keith for his culinary mind, contributions to the food world and pure talent on screen. Sadly I found parts of this a little uncomfortable and cringy. The scenes with his daughter were particularly awkward. I could feel her discomfort through the screen.
Amen.. He was (RIP) a 'firm fave' always, but Booze ruined him & from Day 1 he glamorised it. His behaviour maybe messed up plenty of his life due to consuming too much 'Vino' let alone Brandy etc, but that was his business & just gutted he's a goner. Bless...❤
Many other people do Keith Floyd's travelogue/cookery type show. As Keith said to Rick Stein "you stole my act!".They are watchable but not half as good as the Floyd programmes as he was a unique broadcaster and very interesting person. I was sad watching this programme at the time as he looked in poor heath, and then it was announced he had died the next day. One series of his that is hard to find is Capital Floyd.
I have this nagging feeling that the programme was exploitative. Yes, Floyd was a big boy and knew what he was doing, but at the same time he was in his final days (as it turns out he died the night this programme aired) and you can see him shutting down in real time. It is at times a very uncomfortable watch and I do wonder what the ultimate point of it was. Don't get me wrong, I loved Keith Floyd and devoured his shows. He brought a fresh honesty to cooking that was very arresting. It was just sad to see him like that.

This guy was in his mid 60s when this was filmed... let that sink in... SIXTIES. All of that drinking and smoking made him look not a day under 85.
He died just shortly after this doc was made, at 65.
Bowel cancer.... too much meat usually. He said his liver was fine. Smoking is the killer. Worse things than wine.
I shall now go, rewatch some of the old Floyd on fish etc, and remember the Keith I loved and knew from the telly.

This is kind of sad, but I'm glad I've watched it. It's good to celebrate his life, and his work, and he was very good at it. But I suspect he'd give it all up for a better relationship with his daughter.
A great character with obvious flaws, 99% more interesting than 99% of the people on tele these days
HA! Though this documentary isn't the best summation of Floyd's brilliant tv cook show history - it has brilliant moments of Floyd honesty... also check out 'A Farewell to Floyd - Keith Floyd Tribute Documentary' ... well worth the watch on the tv series Floyd created.
Keith was the Errol Flynn of food. Sad but brilliant.
my dad passaway age 90 innit final days in pain and on drugs - flowdie look like him...
What a Guy..
Absolute legend
I made it to 34 minutes then i had to give up.so sad and i felt so sorry for his daughter,it just goes to show how selfish an alcoholic can be.
@KEITH FLOYD'S FINAL INTERVIEW You're the same person as the"His Master's Voice" account aren't you? The wording in both of their many comments here is so similar beyond coincidence.
Gonzo chef. Brilliant.
I really admire Keith for his culinary mind, contributions to the food world and pure talent on screen. Sadly I found parts of this a little uncomfortable and cringy. The scenes with his daughter were particularly awkward. I could feel her discomfort through the screen.
Amen.. He was (RIP) a 'firm fave' always, but Booze ruined him & from Day 1 he glamorised it. His behaviour maybe messed up plenty of his life due to consuming too much 'Vino' let alone Brandy etc, but that was his business & just gutted he's a goner. Bless...❤
Dave Brubeck in the background ! Golden Brown
when someone asks you what it means to be a true brit. show them keith.
It's good that Keith had some reconcilliation with his daughter before it was too late.
I still like a glass of Mateus Rose.
How many times does he want to use the word mendacious?
Many other people do Keith Floyd's travelogue/cookery type show. As Keith said to Rick Stein "you stole my act!".They are watchable but not half as good as the Floyd programmes as he was a unique broadcaster and very interesting person.
I was sad watching this programme at the time as he looked in poor heath, and then it was announced he had died the next day.
One series of his that is hard to find is Capital Floyd.
Very true Bob. i have the capital floyd series but was not allowed to upload it on here when i tried a few months ago
Poppy is very beautiful!
She is!
I have this nagging feeling that the programme was exploitative. Yes, Floyd was a big boy and knew what he was doing, but at the same time he was in his final days (as it turns out he died the night this programme aired) and you can see him shutting down in real time. It is at times a very uncomfortable watch and I do wonder what the ultimate point of it was.
Don't get me wrong, I loved Keith Floyd and devoured his shows. He brought a fresh honesty to cooking that was very arresting. It was just sad to see him like that.
Legend
❤
Terrible invasion of privacy.. poor guy. I will most end up like him
We all dig our own hole.
When we look at all the TV chefs now, lol, pale in comparison to the legend that is Keith. Marco is pretty interesting but Floyd is the king.
17:54 YESSSSS
Floyd is a legend. Lily Allens dad, not so much.
M. Allen, un pas venu.
Charles Bukowski of cooking art.
keith allen is cringe worthy in how fake he seems in this, though i wonder how much of it was intentional?
I think he was overwhelmed. Faced with the reality of who his hero really is.
He died a few hours before this was broadcast
Best thing for him.
That musical bit was weird as hell
the hunter s thompson of cooking
The best gastronome Bon Vivant alkie TV chef of all time, 2nd too far back to register.......
