Floyd’s memorable schtick was being a complete boozehound… which may or may not rule him out of contention. Fantastic and fun presenter, just kept hitting the sauce all the way through his shows.

It didn’t stick in my memory if the host drank during the show. I didn’t get a chance to watch his show as much as things like Wok With Yan though, so it is possible that he did and it went over my head. Does anyone have a link to interveiws/sound files of James Beard and Keith Floyd?

(I did a couple of searches to get Keith Floyd’s name, and better pictures of him. He also looks similar to the host I remember, but not as jowly.)
