The Hairy Bikers

Aired in 2007 as a winter special, this one-off programme featured the Bikers looking at their own British (more specifically, northern English) cuisine. They visit Dave's hometown of Barrow-in-Furness and visit a local pie shop, before being invited to an Oriental cuisine by some of the town's large Thai community. They stop at various other locations including Bury Market sampling such foods as Black Pudding before tasting the famous Cumberland Sausage on top of an old Roman fort in Cumbria, before finally heading east to Si's hometown of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The episode gained a series-high audience of 3.4 million viewers.

On brand-new motorbikes, the Hairy Bakers travel round the country cooking up their favourite festive recipes as they plan an early Christmas party for families who won't be spending Christmas together: fire-fighters, nurses, police and ambulance crews.

The Hairy Bikers, Si King and Dave Myers are on the search for the most interesting food that Britain's mums are cooking for their families this Christmas. Celebrating the very best of Christmas Cooking in Britain, Si and Dave tour the nation hunting out Britain's festive favourites and a few surprises. On their journey they find mums cooking everything from roast goose with all the trimmings to Pinnekjott (that's salted cured lamb steamed over birch twigs to you and me) and from festive gingerbread to Christmassy coconut samosas! The lads also conjure up their own seasonal specialities including Loin of Venison in home made sloe gin and Lime seared scallops with smoked salmon fritters. The celebration of Christmas favourites culminates at a stately home filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each others' favourite dishes.

The Hairy Bikers are throwing their very own Christmas party for many of the people who they’ve met over the years on their TV adventures. There will be family, friends, a good stiff drink or two and plenty of indulgent food - just, don’t expect turkey and trimmings. There will be no basting, stuffing and roasting. Instead, the Bikers will be preparing the very best party food washed down with the finest yuletide drinks. Si and Dave will visit specialists including a canapé champion and an expert in delectable deserts to discover the secret of making your festive do go with a bang. They will also take on the daunting task of designing and building the centre piece for their party, a vodka ice luge, putting their creativity and skills to the ultimate party themed test.

A typically madcap Hairy Bikers' journey through the verses of one of the most popular Christmas songs. For each line of the song, the boys have come up with a fantastic twist on a classic Christmas dish. From roast partridge with spiced pears (a partridge in a pear tree) and a classic trio of top-end poulets de Bresse chicken dishes (three French hens) to spiced Christmas pannacotta (eight maids a-milking), and of course the secrets of a perfect roast goose (six geese a-laying).

The Hairy Bikers are back. After Dave received his recent cancer diagnosis, it looked like the Bikers’ adventures could be over. But now, reunited with his best mate Si, the boys are back on the road, searching for wonderful seasonal ingredients to create a festive banquet to thank all those who’ve helped Dave throughout his recent struggles
