The Hairy Bikers’ programmes were as much about the joy of friendship as the appreciation of good food. There was never any doubt that the warmth between Dave Myers and Si King was as real as their enthusiasm for food and cooking. They also seemed to lack any trace of vanity or artifice which is such a rare thing among TV celebrities. This I think is what gave them such an effortless rapport with the people they met on their travels and was one of the things that made their adventures so watchable. Poor Si King must be devastated at the loss of his best buddy. RIP, Dave.
