Absolutely. I discovered the program about 15yrs ago whilst living in America. I still pine for those 'boring' Friday nights sat on my couch watching the Britcom line-up on WLIW 21 NY.
This whole Posh Nosh thing is so hilarious for me, as it reminds me of a pretentious couple my parents knew in the late 70's, who gave extravagant dinner parties to show off. It was an era of fondue, cheese and wine parties, and formal barbecues on the patio.
He knows which side his Brad is battered (and so do we) but she doesn't seem to!! LMAO "Pour hot bubling water over your fish, until its nicely, completely nice".
I remember watching these when I was a boy, before “Last of the Summer Wine” came on PBS. Being a literal child, I took all this rather seriously! It was only later I realized this was actually a parody of cooking shows, and have come to appreciate the subtler humor.
Absolutely love this! Architect's fish and chips..... Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young.......lol! Annoy your stock for 25 minutes............. Cracking stuff this! Thanks for putting this up.........going to watch the rest now!
loved this first time round, got a terrible memory and couldnt remember the name of the show or the actors, watching a repeat of QI tonight with Richard E Grant and it suddenly came flooding back, thanks for sharing
I agree with Squeaky1423 -- this show is howlingly funny, and nothing like what they play on TV here in the states! The first episode I saw was #8 (about the "comfort food," haha) and I literally burst into laughter the moment Richard E. Grant started talking.
This is one of my favorite shows! Now I can see it again instead of trying to hunt for it as filler after Monarch of the Glen! Thank you, thank you! I love the theme song. My mother used to play it on the piano when I was little. Sounds rather like a man singing falsetto, imitating a woman, but it is good singing regardless.
The American Food Network show The Barefoot Contessa reminds me of a real-life Posh Nosh: the obscenely snobby hostess spends more time eating with her gay friends than with her own husband and in one episode she made a meal for some builders in which she created a centerpiece using a metal pail as a "vase" and paintbrushes as "flowers".
I love how Barry isn't as culturally unaware as Simon thought he was. Simon is actually mad that Barry recognizes the type of wine and cooking method for the veg! He clearly gets off on lording his "superiority" over others.
8 years later, buuut it means rubbish, lame, of-low quality, a bit shit. Also used in the term 'naff off' which is a gentler form of something you can guess the meaning of.

"Simon's mother, Lady Marchmont, gave me this colander just before she died. Which was sad -- but also happy, because it's a lovely colander."
well done
Such and unknown gem of a programme. Lost count how many times I've watched these.

What care I for my house and my land?
What care I for my treasure, O?
What care I for my new-wedded lord,
I’m off with the raggle taggle gipsies, O!
I can’t believe this was TWENTY YEARS AGO!!!!
"If you haven't got an AGA..."
(pause)
(Snort of contempt)
''Nicely completely nice'' LOL.
I could watch Richard E. Grant describe wine all day.
"W want the finest wines known to humanity; we want them here and we want them now!"

The language used is superbly funny. Things like "As you can see they have already been embarassed". It draws a real picture of the characters.
"There's a famous saying: Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young."
"I'd be happy to defrost it with my breath..."
"Ooo, that sounds nice!"
"So if you hear someone banging away at the bedroom..." "...That'll be a first." God damn I miss this show.
Duncan said David Bowie was a fan?
@@ElleLillian Ok if I come
I adored this show. It was glorious in its irreverence.
Do you adore the 'nosh'? If so, come on our podcast!
He knows which side his Brad is battered (and so do we) but she doesn't seem to!! LMAO

"I love the way Angus uses space."
Oh I wish Posh Nosh caught on...sad sad me.
Absolutely love this!
Architect's fish and chips.....
Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young.......lol!
Annoy your stock for 25 minutes.............
Cracking stuff this!
Thanks for putting this up.........going to watch the rest now!
Ok if I come
'Now, always roast your veg in the finest olive oil we can afford.' 😂😂😂
''Err, school days'' LMFAO. BL00DY HYSTERICAL series.

"Fabulous work by the way. Don't know how to thank you"
"Pay the bill"
LOL.
Here because Lord Glimbus himself recommended it.
"I know which side of my Brad is battered" 😂
They played this on PBS some years ago. Not nearly often enough. Absolutely brilliant series.
HA that's Joanna Lumley doing the voiceover... brilliant.

Love this. Wish it was on DVDs
Loki brought me here. Well, I've been here many times in the past 12 years... but Loki brought me back.
The prostate massager brought you here?
The little dance Richard does when he correctly guesses the extra ✨virgin✨ olive oil 😂🤚

First time viewer! This show is a scream! 🤣🤣😍
"That's school days"...."oh"......LOL!
This is awesome! I've never heard of it before, but I'm about to watch all of it.
Ok if I come
I love this show so much. I miss these halcyon days. "If you haven't got an Aga...😐
Now if you haven't got an Aga.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you haven't got an Aga... you really aren't equipped to cook your own meals now, are you.
Classic, I love this parody...
Oh good Lord this is such a discovery, why can't American TV be funny like this???? I want architect's fish and chips, LOL
Oh, Posh Nosh, how I have missed you!
The feeling is mutual. BAZINGA
Glad I found this little gem of a show :)
I must have that recipe book. I want to embarrass potatoes 😁😁😁
I love how Barry isn't as culturally unaware as Simon thought he was. Simon is actually mad that Barry recognizes the type of wine and cooking method for the veg! He clearly gets off on lording his "superiority" over others.
WHY is this not on the BBC store?
Thanks for uploading this. I remember when WLIW used to air them in between shows. Missed it loads.
this needs a revival!
This show was my introduction to Richard E. Grant - he plays such a perfect assh ole in this!
I've never seen him be bad in anything. Even stuff that everything else was bad in.
I wish it caught on too!..its brilliiant!!
Mummie always used to pay the tradesmen with rosebushes.
Oh this is just amazing
Barry reminds me of Alfred Molina - the mug comment was the best
I know which side my Brad is battered.
this is just pure british comedy
@SuperKnowledgeSponge "Disappoint the veg ... give them a frisson, they like that." (frisson - a little thrill or shudder - I had to look it up!)
These are so funny!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Posh Nosh!
I'm appalled he holds his wine glass incorrectly.
First World problems, eh?
Richard E Grant is a lifelong tee totaller. Don't worry, he's suitably posh.
Lol..this is adorable!
Re-annoyance times may vary.
Put that in, Barry.
I'm constantly searching for double entendres 😂
"Like schoolboys, rieslings are best enjoyed young!"
Mr. blue shirt is the twinky man I've ever set eyes upon
Great parody of ....at least a few things.
Saw this on pbs. funny stuff
Coming here after seeing Classic Loki
Wonderful so yummmmy yum . Precious Barry hahaha
Is that Richard E. Grant?
OMG, American foodie loving this. Now I want to watch all the episodes.
BTW, what does naff mean? I would love to understand the caviar joke.
8 years later, buuut it means rubbish, lame, of-low quality, a bit shit. Also used in the term 'naff off' which is a gentler form of something you can guess the meaning of.
Hmmmmm.... I could have sworn that Posh Nosh was a unaired pilot that Christine and Neal Hamilton made.
That is really cool! Thanks for explaining that. I have wondered who that was.
Never gets old
I've missed it.
@Enid35 Thank you for being so nice! :D
WHERE in North Africa?!
I love Barry.
who is that singing during the credits? is it alfred deller?
I HAVE A GLORIOUS PURPOSE TOO.
need a reboot of this where they copy Nigella’s pronunciation of microwave lol
I want the good old fashioned ones. :D
I love how awkward it ends..😂
"Hints of freshly mown grass"
What did she say at 2:17?
"A freesom, they like that"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisson
Hilarious. You can't even read the credits xD
be sure they are "completely nice" as well :)
14 people don't own an aga
I had to Google it 😆 ...holy crap, a used one on eBay $4800 🤯
This is clever comedy. No outright laughs, but a LOT of dry wit.
Classic Barry
Love this show. lol
i have a question. if british people call fries chips, then what do they call chips?
(hopefully someone understands and doesn't call me stupid)
masteraj57 Crisps.
Crisps, stupid.
@smillsy71 Thanks!
is this the guy from hudson hawk?
Hannibal Lecter enjoys a good filleted surgeon, har har har.
Is this a play on The Hamiltons?
I swear, I can't tell the difference between this and Her Majesty Queen Nigella Lawson...
At 7:01 she says "filleted SURgeon"... eek!
@Chiffa321 I do :( I love this show.
@Foeke ah ok. thanks :)
anyone else think simon is like super cute old man lol.
Oh. My, God.
