Jamies great escape

[greenbean]

Greatly enjoying this prog -3 so far. Not learning much about cooking but he's very keen.

[LilacBump]

i like that he does the narration himself.

[yoyo]

Is this repeated? Missed everything last night. Ever hopeful!

[greenbean]

dont think its repeated sorry.

[edgetop]

[MaryP0p1]

I'm sooo jealous, We live in Italy and are big fans of Jamie and we can't see it. Is it good, where has he been? Tell me more.....

[cupcakes]

It's repeated on Sunday afternoons on More 4 if you have digital.

He's a really creative bloke! That idea of making food on the roadside and then asking for donations were very imaginative.

[yoyo]

Thanks Cupcakes - don't have digital but know a Dad that does!

[MaryP0p1]

Not in Italy it isn't

[MaryP0p1]

Did anyone see this last night, can they tell me about it, I understan it was based where I live.

[MaryP0p1]

In Marche

[MaryP0p1]

Where in Tuscany did you live?

[hotmama1]

Last night, it was in Marche (sp) next to Tuscany - the other programmes have been in the south near Sicily and the surrounding islands.

Was good - but then I am a JO fan. He killed a sheep - wasn't happy about and did look a bit green - but he made the point that he has cooked thousands of pieces of lamb - so he should make the effort IYSWIM.

Wednesday night TV rocks - this straight after River Cottage!

[MaryP0p1]

I wonder where in le marche he was, must have been the mountains if he was killing sheep.

[MaryP0p1]

Now are you in the UK?

[fishie]

am loving jamie, who i never really enjoyed watching before. but river cottage is an utter con - its the second series of rehashed 'best of' why could he not do something new?

[Carmenere]

I am more and more impressed with JO- he repeatedly demonstrates the courage of his convictions and put's himself in uncomfortable situations to demonstrate a belief. With his last 3 programmes - 15 - School Dinners and now this one he has gone out on a limb. Admittedly this series is more about cooking but there are very few 'celebrity chefs' who will happily go out of their comfort zone on camera to try to learn new stuff. He rocks!

[spacedonkey]

I am loving it too. This programme really seems to capture something about Italy that other programmes don't.

[MaryP0p1]

I've just heard somewhere in the series he is going to go to an Italian School to see what they have for their dinners. If its anything like my childrens school, all organic, fresh, local. Her menu today was, soup to tuna and veg, then pasta (unspecific) and fruit for finish. Yes a three course meal even in school. We pay 4e 50cents for this meal. What value.

[MaryP0p1]

excuse me let me correct myself, tuna steaks with veg, then pasta then fruit.

[Nbg]

Watched it last night, fantastic!

Did turn it off at the sheep execution though and yes they were in the mountains in La Marache.

I think it's next week they go to the school.

[MaryP0p1]

I hope they put on DVD for sale at xmas, I'll ask for it as a present then. I might then get to see it.
