I can't be sure you can run these first two shows from every web address.

rotuts - How do you get it to work? Do you have to use VPN or something similar?

 

I signed up (which I hate to have to do just to find out something doesn't work, leaving my info exposed and me with no joy) but though it looks as though it will work, it just goes black. Seems as though too that, like PBS (and BBC I believe) they only leave the shows up for x amount of time and then they are gone so it wanted to start at Episode 2 for me - but even that doesn't work. Too bad because they have a whole pile of food shows available right now apparently.

 

There are a lot of good food shows out of the UK and Australia. I would rather watch them than most from North America.

I can't tell youi much

 

I asked for me to turn off my ad-blocker-+ then it played.

 

I also have them on my Hard Disc, but that's another matter.

 

I wonder if indeed the Fat Duck has closed, and more importantly why.

 

nothing wrong with " tasty "  gossip.

 

 

there are a huge number of outstanding cooking shows from down Under

 

the best  and its have several years worth is

 

Food Safari.    Ive learned more from that show than any other on ethnic cuisine of all type.

 

the host and the 'chef' go into enthnic markets and tell you what to by even if the items are not in English

 

its the same stuff shipped world wide.  love the show.

I got no messages at all. Looked as though the segment was loading then just went black. I did just turn off my popup blocker (thanks for that note) and I got the preview to run (but it is very short) and another program (not Heston) seems to run also - but when I try the Heston 1st or 2nd segments I now see they show 0;00 as the time left to play once the loading whirligig thing in the middle of the screen has stopped spinning, and yet the 2nd at least should be viewable for the next 16 days. Frustrating. But thanks anyway.

The series screened recently here on pay TV, but my black box decided that two episodes was enough and didn't record the last two!

 

But it was quite a nice look at the challenges of bringing something like the Duck to the other side of the world while rebuilding the original.

 

I missed out on the ballot for places while it was in Oz, unfortunately.  It's one I'd very much like to add to my list of special restaurants I've eaten at.

Thanks for sharing this! It plays fine for me using VPN with AdBlock disabled. While searching for more information on this show, I came across Heston's Dinner In Space which also aired recently:

I also saw the Space show.  It was indeed interesting, 

 

No Bread in Space ?   Heston comes to the rescue.

Both episodes of Heston's world have been on You Tube for two days, played fine when I tried just now. No doubt they will be taken down as soon as the copyright holder becomes aware.
