It always use to come on late at night, me and my brothers would watch this, then creep into the kitchen while my parents were sleeping and cook up something all while chanting 'get stuffed' its a wonder they never woke up from the noise we were making and the smell of the mad concoctions we were cooking which always seemed to include eggs. those were the days, great memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-47809616254008540072022-10-31T16:22:59.471+00:002022-10-31T16:22:59.471+00:00Get Stuffed - seminal show!!!

That was similar slightly-rubbish but not bad after a beer and watching a film. (I could go and look up the title but in truth, I can't really be bothered). :D P.J.

I never had any interest in cookery shows but it was the strange kind of thing that one would come across on through the night t.v. back in the 90's.<br />It is a terrible, unspoken shame that there is no proper, diverse programming on t.v. through the night nowadays and its probably not going to change any time soon. as no one, anywhere wants to encourage the public to stay up through the night as the Government needs us all to get to bed so we can go and work a 12 hour shift somewhere and be good little taxpayers.<br />Society in the 90's needed people to work and pay tax as well but they showed GREAT TELLY.<br />Television programming now is so bad people might prefer to go to bed/ work.<br />Terrible shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-80956507375469455232018-04-11T09:34:07.408+01:002018-04-11T09:34:07.408+01:00A superb classic!

It was pretty addictive stuff, sometimes presented by a really cute girl I recognised from Norwich Arts Centre, using locations in and around... erm... Norwich. Low and budget are two words that spring to mind. But it was fun! Back then, Keith Floyd was The Man, and this show had a hint of his bung-it-all-in-and-keep-talking philosophy about it. Some episodes are on YouTube, by the way.Humboleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970983871911834944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-53938121606083681562016-01-23T17:02:12.905+00:002016-01-23T17:02:12.905+00:00I wish someone would upload them to the pirate bay...I wish someone would upload them to the pirate bay, i'd love to see them again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-953343234081012732015-12-10T03:06:44.768+00:002015-12-10T03:06:44.768+00:00I have a vhs video of get stuffed.

They had some ridiculously easy recipes including a couple of skateboarders instructing viewers how to make beans on toast. I loved the fact you got to see the interiors of real houses and it was somehow comforting that some were even scruffier than my own shared abode. It felt like you say, a simpler time where there a cooking show where I actually had the ingredients rather the strange and exotic cooking shows prefer nowadays. I'd love it if someone bought this out as a compilation DVD. It was an anarchic, joyous and simple affair, or was that just me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
