POPULAR television chefs the Hairy Bikers rode into the region yesterday to film an episode of their Christmas series.
Simon King and Dave Myers’ filming tour took in a visit to the Georgian Theatre Royal, in Richmond, North Yorkshire.
This year, the duo will celebrate the festive season with shows themed around the 12 Days of Christmas.
The programmes will aim to take viewers on a culinary and musical journey, using the verses of the popular Christmas song.
Appropriately, the episode filmed in Richmond’s theatre has links to the pantomime character Mother Goose – and to “six geese a-laying”.
The Hairy Bikers said: “Mother Goose is one of the classic Christmas pantomimes.
“Our flamboyant friend David Marcus, a famous pantomime dame from Barrow, in Cumbria, will teach us the art of becoming perfect pantomime dames.
