KEITH FLOYD (1943-2009)

For a long time I have admired this exuberant and unconventional chef. One of the few TV people I would make an effort to watch. So much so that last night I left a reminder on my mobile phone not to miss "Keith on Keith" a rather chaotic programme on CH4, which in a way reflected the whole life of Keith Fletcher the unique TV chef. Sadly, this morning I could not believe my eyes when the news ticker on my TV set announced that this hillarious, irreverant and yet professional chef had passed away. No doubt he'll be raising a glass as he steps through the golden gates of heaven! R.I.P.
