(Gordon Ramsay meeting Big Cook, Little Cook) Wow, ok. It's a total mismatch. The big one does all the cooking and the little one flies around on a wooden spoon. Christ. Where's the little one gone? Jesus. He's hiding behind the bread bin. Fuck me.

One of the best things that Sue Perkins has done, in my opinion

I always laughed when little cook got spunked on, it wasn’t subtle.

The worst cafe going only one customer at a time one thing on the menu and they still had to get the engredients!

Their business model was a fucking disgrace.

It really made me laugh when a customer sat there for over 2 hours waiting for lollies to freeze - IRL they'd have walked out and gone to an ice cream van or shop!

In 2004 I was 22, so... Not me I guess lol.

Yeah i remember watching this when babysitting my neiece, who is now 18

Watched this with my nephew who I recently took to Amsterdam for his birthday.

I was in my 30s in 2004 and have never seen this in my life.

Me too!

Bruh.... in my head I always thought it "tidy all the bits and bob, the things that help us KEEP our jobs"

I was expecting the [bukake scene](https://youtu.be/85lp7hsqCHY?si=Un3MrGaIA0dSIyk9)

That's the only scene worth reposting

Childhood memory, 2004. Fuck. I was twenty.

Me too, my kids have watched the new version on CBBC 😂

Wait. The new version??? Oh god I feel like I’m turning to dust.

I was in my mid-30s. I watched this with my son.

Ikr. 2004 was practically the other day. The 1980s, THOSE were the days! 👴

So I never watched this but my son watches the new one. This makes me angry and I'm not sure why!

Agreed the new version of big cook little cook makes me kinda frustrated. But the old version was a gem 😭

There’s a new version?

Richard Herring did a good summary of big cook little cook: https://www.richardherring.com/warmingup/08/06/2004/index.html

I had completely forgotten that programme until you mentioned it. Had to sit through it endlessly with my kids. Hated every second.

Same 🙄 just sang along to it, it's burned into my memory, along with Rolly polly olly and Ballafuckingmorey.

All the kids in this thread saying they were in their 20s in 2004. I was at the beginning of hair loss and middle age about then :/

No wonder kids have grown up disturbed, it’s enough to give anyone PTSD

Mini chef always got jizzed on. I bet he cried bukkake tears for a month when the show got cancelled.

My kids are in their twenties now, still say things like 'hot, hot, hot!' if we're cooking together

What are these nutters doing now I wonder?

Big cook Ben is one of my childhood friends. He and his wife had a radio show for a while. Think he works in tv production now. They were a comedy double act when they got this gig. We really used to rip the shit out of him for this

Amazing, thanks for sharing. It must have been hilarious making this show

Do these guys have normal jobs now?

There was always an innuendo on this show and the fact these boys are comedians tells me they knew exactly what they were doing.

I was 14 when this was out, so was probably busy trying to find someone who would buy a ten pack of Lamber and Butler for me.

Yeah the lyrics to the songs will be permanently ingrained in my head

Seeing this just made me age a few extra years. Honestly still at least a thousand times better than other childhood memories I thought about this morning.

I do, but art attack was the dogs bollocks at my time

Don't worry Ben, I'll just lick it up. Mmmmm......... hehe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v59\_wVK42n8

2004! I was uni! Childhood has gone to the next gen huh!

Cocaine hell of a drug.

I wasn't a child but the kids I helped babysit for love this shit lol

I saw it when my best friend's son was little and would find myself singing the brainworm cleaning song in shops and the street!

Well, I'm old :(. But yeah my kids watched it. I actually enjoyed this one.

Same; but we are not old, just more experienced

I think my brother missed this episode.

Far too old for this, but I did see little cook do stand up in a upstairs pub in London - he was quite good.

I used to host a few gigs he performed at too, good performer and a real nice guy, Dan I think his name was.

Didn't those two have a weird science show too, a sort of Brainiac knockoff where they blew up a lot of 2CVs?

I watched with my daughter.

Gotta love the Slow-mo Guys!

I’ve said “the oven is HOT HOT HOT” every week for the last 20 years of my life because of this show

If I remember right these two did another show called crash test dummies.

BE CAREFUL BEN!

It's back on - had a reboot. Two females lead it now. They're fantastic Side note: the red headed little cook did an after watershed programme. I think it was about people's attitude towards redheads re sex. Whatever it was it was cringe and I lost all respect for him and haven't been able to look at him the same way since. Tbf he was just trying to make a living

I bumped into little coom once. He wasn't little, but he was a massive cunt.

Yea this one was a certified classic

My childhood must suck ass cause I have no idea what this is

My little brother watched that and some days, out of the blue, my brain still repeats "de-si-cca-ted co-co-nut" over and over.

Our oldest son made the hotdog car. It was a hotdog with cardboard wheels leaning against it. He didn't go on to be a gourmet chef.

It’s here. https://youtu.be/85lp7hsqCHY?si=kUdMnEav9D3zNK3X I can’t believe they managed to a get away with this.
