'Two Fat Ladies' ride once more on DVD set

July 30, 2008

Two fat ladies, a motorcycle with a sidecar, and more bacon, cream and butter than is good for anyone.

It's an odd formula for compelling food television, but it became the stuff of genius when Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright transformed it all into the deliciously campy ''Two Fat Ladies'' cooking show.

The 24-episode BBC series, which first aired more than a decade ago and later was shown on public television and the Food Network, now has been released in the United States as a complete DVD set with a suggested retail price of $59.99.

The series followed Paterson (who died in 1999) and Dickson Wright as they traveled by motorcycle, cooking for unusual crowds (such as lumberjacks and boys' choirs) in unlikely places (including breweries and castles).
