Looking for Keith Floyd TV Shows

Floyd On... Looking for Keith Floyd cooking TV shows.

Do these exist in electronic format anywhere out there? Looks like they were never released on DVD and VHS tapes seem hard to find and expensive (and in PAL format, which doesn't help me here in the States). Here's a list of the shows. Help me get my Floyd fix!

I have never seen any legitimate DVD's of his programmes. I think one of his recent series on wine was being released on DVD, but it might have fallen through. They are in demand though - if you check eBay you can get bootleg 2 disc compilation DVDs of some series, "..On Italy" and "Around the Med" at least. Choice is yours if you want to go that route.

All series are shown regularly in the UK on the satellite channel UK Food as well as a few other lifestyle channels. Your best bet might be emailing UK Food or getting someone in the UK to record them for you. Well worth it, some of the best cookery programmes ever shown.

Otis, if you find any source for his old shows, such as "Floyd on France," I will worship you as a god for the rest of my days if you'll email me and let me know.

I have been so disappointed in the "Med" series. How I wish for the days when he would guzzle wine while cooking, make fun of French chefs right in front of their faces, and flirt with women while they prepared a meal. Best cooking shows *ever.* Oh - and that theme music by the Stranglers...

Good luck.
