Following two series warmly received by critics and viewers alike,
Dave Myers and Si King - aka The Hairy Bikers - return this spring for a third
series, gunning their long-suffering steeds across four continents in search of
top food, great places and a damn good time in The Hairy Bikers Ride Again on 91Èȱ¬ Two.
Ìý
Currently starring every Saturday
morning on the 91Èȱ¬ One favourite Saturday Kitchen, the boys will be
crossing Southern India and enjoying the finest vegetarian food on the planet,
sampling the glories of Belgium (liquid and otherwise) and the rarefied
gastronomy of Alsace, storming through Argentina fuelled by the best beef and
the newest great wines, and eating their way through Morocco, from Marrakesh to
the Sahara.
Ìý
Along the way they'll be searching for the perfect chip, wondering why they
speak Welsh in Patagonia, trying Moroccan skiing, donning Magritte's bowler hat
(and apple), and discovering why the Royal Enfield Bullet is still India's
best-loved motorbike.
Ìý
Trappist beers, massive dhosas, couscous from Ostend to
Ouarzazate, home-made empanadas, gin and chocolate, coconut and tamarind,
saffron and harissa ... all this and dozens of other unlikely combinations as
unlikely as the boys themselves.

Dave says: "Four journeys and four big adventures; we have laughed and cooked
and eaten our way around the planet. Now it's time to come home and share our
memories and some bangin' food too – the best yet."

Si adds: "We are two best mates and bikers who have travelled the world
celebrating and rejoicing in the people, places and food we have encountered.
Ìý
"We've brought back some great food discoveries and a good crack to share. It's
as simple as that."
