Ronnie Corbett to Front New Food Series

LONDON: UKTV’s Good Food is working with TalkbackTHAMES and Ronnie Corbett on an exclusive commission tentatively titled Ronnie Corbett’s Supper Club.

The hour-long pilot episode will see Corbett delve into the food memories and life of Gavin and Stacey‘s Rob Brydon. Corbett will also prepare Brydon’s favorite meal and treats. Throughout the show, Brydon will reveal recipes for his "last snack," "last comfort food" and "last guilty pleasure." He will also provide a list of the five people he would invite to his last meal.

UKTV’s director of commissioning, Jane Rogerson, commented: “Ronnie Corbett is a passionate foodie, a great host and a comedy legend. We’re thrilled to be welcoming him onto Good Food, for a show, which sits at the heart of our food entertainment strategy. Who wouldn’t want to be at supper with Rob and Ronnie?”

The editor of factual programs at TalkbackTHAMES, John Comerford, said: “Ronnie Corbett is a national treasure and we’re delighted that he has come on board for this exciting pilot to share his love of food and explore the unique culinary journey of Rob Brydon.”
