Take two blokes, two bikes, ample facial hair, a large dollop of adventure and garnish with infectious enthusiasm. But Dave Myers and Si King aren't trained chefs; they simply love food. The amiable pair travel across the world, learning to cook regional delicacies which are linked inextricably with the cultures they visit. Full of zest, warm-hearted humour and plenty of surprising yet easily-made-at-home recipes, this is a down-to-earth series about two men, their beloved motorcycles and the only thing they love more - food. In Series Three, the boys journey across Southern India sampling the best vegetarian food in the world; enjoy the glories of Belgium (liquid and otherwise); explore the superb selection of seafood and the newest wines in Chile; and eat their way through Morocco, from Marrakesh to the Sahara.

Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "bouquet") goes to incredible lengths in her quest for perfection. Hers is a spick-and-span house. Her downtrodden husband, Richard, acts as chauffeur in their immaculately kept car. Their permanently absent son has a superior name, Sheridan. Even the empty milk bottles sparkle on the doorstep after their obligatory rinse in the dishwasher. Hyacinth delights in her "candlelit suppers", but her guests live in fear of receiving her invitations. Next-door neighbor Liz is so nervous that she is guaranteed to break or spill something. Her brother Emmet hides every time he sees Hyacinth. And the Buckets' distinguished friend, the Major, and the vicar and his wife all do their best to keep out of her way. In marked contrast to Hyacinth's meticulously ordered life, however, the rest of her family are as common as muck. They live together in a rundown house that looks like a junkyard. Sister Daisy and her husband, Onslow, are out-and-out slobs. Her other sister, Rose, is an aging tart. And her elderly father is a lecherous drunk, given to cycling stark-naked down by the canal, chasing the milkwoman. Whatever Hyacinth does, her family can always be guaranteed to show her up. Can she ever live down the disgrace?

Del is convinced that one day his schemes will make him a millionaire. Surely it's only a question of time - if only he could make a couple of good deals down the market that would be just the break he needs.
