When
& where can I watch GET STUFFED?
GET STUFFED is being transmitted throughout the UK In the ITV late
night schedule. Check out your newspaper or TV Guide to find transmission
times. If you are going to video the programmes, we suggest that
you set your recorder to run at least 20 minutes before and after
each episode - this is because the space/time continuum becomes
weirdly disjointed after midnight and things don’t always happen
quite when they should.
Why
is GET STUFFED on sooooo late?
It’s like when you were a kid and, sometimes as a big treat,
you’d get to stay up way past your usual bedtime to watch something
special on TV. Well, getting to watch GET STUFFED *IS* a big treat
so, just to make you appreciate how special it really is, we put
it on as late as possible.
What’s more, if we put GET STUFFED on any earlier, you might
not be able to watch it cos you might be out, or at work, or in
a pub, or something. With the show on so late, there’s just
no excuse to get to your television.
How
can I get hold of copies of the GET STUFFED recipes?
Your best bet is to video GET STUFFED and make your own notes of
how to prepare the individual dishes. At the end of each episode,
there is a summery of the things that you need to do to prepare
any dish. If you’d like to try some typical GET STUFFED-style
dishes, there are a few recipes elsewhere
on this site.
Can
*I* be on GET STUFFED, pleeeeese?
Sorry, the episodes that are currently being transmitted are all
repeats and the series is not now in production; but who knows what
the future may hold.
Who
are the people who appear in the series?
They are all friends, or friends of friends, of Last
Ditch Television who produce the series. They all lived within
30 minutes drive from Last-Ditch TV’s headquarters because
we could never afford to travel any further afield.
Who
are the Mystery Chefs?
They are a couple of raging idiots who dress in chefs’ uniforms and wear silly kids’ party masks. They accidentally did a good deed for GET STUFFED at its very beginning and we haven’t been able to shake them off since. Soon they became famous and, trapped within almost every episode of GET STUFFED, you’ll find their own even more ludicrous cookery show called “THE MYSTERY CHEFS”. Unfortunately, The Mystery Chefs are a fixture, viewers rave for them and it’s impossible to get rid of the sods. To prevent further trouble, their true identities must forever remain a mystery but I can reveal that they are a couple of louche, loudmouthed, dangerous and untalented louts who should be avoided at all costs. Once, one of them hurled a plate of spag. bol. at Johnny Vaughan and he hasn’t sent us a Christmas card since. Wot a birddog!

What’s
the weirdest thing that ever happened during the filming of GET
STUFFED?
The Mystery Chef inserts were always filmed late at night in the
producer’s own sitting room and, as you might have guessed,
there was always a lot of alcohol sloshing around. Once, the very
last thing that needed to be filmed was a pastry making demo - which
the Mystery Chefs explained with their usual gusto; i.e. great clouds
of flour whooshed up in the air and all over the face of one of
the chefs. As soon as the filming was over everybody left, except
for one white-faced and inebriated Mystery Chef who immediately
collapsed and fell asleep on the sofa. At 4 o’clock in the
morning, he woke up feeling very, very groggy and totally disorientated
but, no matter how hard he tried, he was totally unable to open
his eyes. It took him half an hour, groping around on hands and
knees before he remembered the earlier incident with the flour and
realised that it had mixed with his drunken tears to form a kind
of flour-paste glue around his eyelids. That was weird because nobody
ever thought that something so stupidly unpredictable could be the
cause of so much damage. I suppose that’s what they mean by
“Blind drunk”.
How
many GET STUFFEDs are there?
Altogether, there are 284 episodes of GET STUFFED. Most episodes
are about five and a half minutes long, but some episodes have also
been re-formatted into thirty minute specials. There is even a GET
STUFFED cookbook!
