Oh that's sad. Didn't follow them more than casually but seemed like a very rounded and likeable chap.

RIP

Sad news

RIP Dave. Always enjoyed the shows with Si.

[Sheets Tabuer]

That is a shame, not a big TV watcher but I did like that pair.

He put up a brave fight.

[Fitz666]

Such a shame, had a beer with them once and they were exactly the same off screen. Great company, he will be sadly missed

[Time4another]

Sad times. Going to be greatly missed.

Sad news.

[Zoon]

Seemed like a very genuine nice guy.
RIP Dave

Aa, that's sad.

I don't know why, but i was under the impression that he was in remission, so this is a bit a shock. Seemed a very affable guy

Very sad news indeed, use to enjoy watching them, especially last years xmas special where it showed him getting on a bike again for the first time and then cooking a xmas meal for all those who had helped him on his journey to fighting Cancer!

Agreed. I enjoyed their shows and books and this episode was very moving.

Guess I'm going to have to make their sizzling balti this evening.

Yes a shame. Seemed a nice bloke.

I've used a number of hairy biker recipes over the years and they always came out well.

[Smollet]

Such a shame. He's been very ill of late but still managed on last series. RIP

[Skeptisk]

There are some people you see on TV who you suspect aren’t that nice in real life. And then there are people like Dave. I wasn’t a regular watcher but always enjoyed it when I caught one of their episodes.

[Quhet]

Really sad news. As others have said, he just seemed like a really nice bloke.

I thought that too.

Sadly too many people I have known go through this horror, then remission but then die. Awful.

As others have said, I didn't follow the show, but every time I saw him on TV, he seemed such a lovely bloke. Very sad to have died so young.

[OMITN]

A great shame.

Their apple pie is a long time favourite in the OMITN household. Might have to conjure something up of theirs tonight.

And their Route 66 trip was amazing - Mrs OMITN has driven some of it and it remains an ambition to drive the whole lot.

Also the only people to make me seriously consider riding a motorcycle on the road. They made it looked relaxed and fun.

A mate of mine met them a few years ago - pre their famous diet - and described them as lovely guys and also the size of giants..!

RIP Dave. I always used to watch them, definitely one of the better cookery programmes on the telly.m They were characters and the trips were really interesting.
