The following are all (or at least most of) the shows that the ilustrious Lay-dees who lunch have helmed over the years. If anyone knows the details of any that aren't in the list, feel free to mail me.
| Casting Couch | November 1999 - December 1999 |
|
| Mel & Sue return to top form on our screens once again with a celebrity panel game, featuring Chris Moyles and Tamara Beckwith | ||
| Movie Babylon | October 1999 - December 1999 |
|
Sky's newest movie show, helmed by none other than our Perks. Half an hour long with a commercial break in between, Movie Babylon is only available to people who can recieve Sky Moviemax. So far we've had such wonderous events as Les Dennis talk about the Blair Witch Project, and Alan Davies having a long discussion with Sue about porn. |

| Back To Our Roots | Tour, April - May 1999 |
|
| Mel & Sues latest tour of the UK, Back To Our Roots, was a smashing extravaganza featuring cigarettes on poles, handbags, Sharon Stone, and that bloke who did the voiceovers on the product ads in The Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer... | ||
| Mel and Sue's Comedy Breakdown | March 1999 - April 1999 |
|
| Starting on BBC Radio 2 on 13th March (at 1pm) this show was described as 'a six part series exploring the best of comedy', with their first show concentrating on 'Fitness and Rehabilitation'. Actually it was a pretty stadard collection of comedy clips with Mel & Sue providing the links... | ||
| Late Lunch Series 2 | October 1998 - March 1999 |
|
| LL returned in October for its second series with the 'Late' flavour. Airing on Channel Four every Wednesday at 6pm until 3rd March (they had a break for Christmas though), the show returned to its one hour length and this pleased everyone... however, this was to be the last series of the program ever (at least with M&S as presenters anyway) and now it is gone, a nation mourns.... | ||
| Late Lunch Series 1 | April - May 1998 |
|
| The first series of Late Lunch was very similar to Light Lunch with the exception of no cooking.... this was a shame as some of the funniest moments on Light Lunch occured in the kitchen (Ben Unwin and Dawn French spring to mind)... the set had been completely redesigned and the band moved to accomodate a larger audience. Another downer is that the show lasted for a paltry 30 mins including an ad break. However these bad points were more than made up for by Mel and Sue's hilarious antics, there were more sketches in the show ("Will it be the maid? Or the man in the hall with the drill?") and altogether it was a rollercoaster prime time ride..... | ||
| Light Lunch Series 1 & 2 | March 1997 - February 1998 |
|
| Light Lunch was a comedy/chat/cookery show. It was presented by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, who have now been recognised as comedy deities. The show began with a member of the audience introducing what guests will be on, then the titles roll. After the titles Mel & Sue came on and do a few gags and introduce the band (It had a different food related name every week, e.g. Bake That). The action then moved to the kitchen where either Mel or Sue would oversee the cooking of a delicious meal by a top chef (usually), while the other half of the top comedy duo investigated the audience, and what they had brought to eat (each person got £3 to buy lunch). Several puns and a commercial break later, M&S introduced the guests and everyone sat down to have lunch, with M&S asking the occasional question. After another commecial break M&S did a few more gags, and one of the pair went into the kitchen where either a chef or celeb. will have made/bought pudding. Then after it had been dished up, the guests were asked questions by the audience, or people on the phone. Sometimes a cakeshop question was even used. And then, after it seemed mere minutes (an hour in fact) after the titles have rolled, it would be the end of the show. Or I could have just said, "Light Lunch was bloody good." | ||
