Clarissa Dickson Wright, the TV chef who starred in "Two Fat Ladies" alongside the late Jennifer Paterson, passed away on Saturday (March 15) in Edinburgh, Scotland.
"Her fun and laughter, extraordinary learning and intelligence, will be missed always, by so many of us," Wright's agent, Heather Holden-Brown, tells BBC News in a statement. "Loved dearly by her friends and many fans all over the world, Clarissa was utterly non-pc and fought for what she believed in, always, with no thought to her own personal cost."
Wright, who passed away in Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary at the age of 66, traveled through the U.K. with Paterson on a motorcycle and sidecar in search of great food on "Two Fat Ladies" from 1996 until Paterson's death in 1999.
Following Paterson's passing, Wright continued to appear on TV, starring in "Clarissa and the Countryman" until 2003. In that same year, she also popped up on an episode of "Absolutely Fabulous.

Sam Bain lifts the lid on 'painful' decision to turn down HBO series, Three Men in a Boat stars enter choppy waters – and Britain's smelliest-looking celebrity
This week's comedy news
Laughing Stock this week brings you news, not of something that's happened in the world of comedy, but something that didn't. According to an interview with Peep Show creator Sam Bain on the Stateside podcast A Bit of a Chat, Bain and his writing partner Jesse Armstrong "were about a week away from flying to La to co-create Flight of the Conchords, and then Peep Show got recommissioned and we couldn't go".
Bain and Armstrong had agreed to make the HBO series with Conchords stars Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement – "[although] we didn't know it was gonna be as good as it was," Bain told interviewer Ken Plume. (It turned out – with the Conchords' eventual co-writer James Bobin – to be very good indeed.

One of the stars of the famous Two Fat Ladies has suggested that Brits should eat badgers. Clarissa Dickson Wright has said that people should consume the bodies of animals killed as a result of culling. Badgers have recently come under scrutiny after fears emerged that they spread tuberculosis to cattle, leading to questions of a cull licence in Gloucestershire. Orange News reports that she said: "'It would solve the problem. There's going to be a cull, so rather than just throw them in the landfill site, why not eat them? ''I would have no objection to eating badgers. I have no objection to eating anything very much, really.'' The TV personality insisted that badger was frequently eaten in Britain centuries ago, and she also said that it was still a popular (more)...

In case you haven’t noticed, the Food Network has been overflowing with cooking shows lately. So the masterminds behind everybody’s favorite food destination decided it was time to do something with the leftovers.
Their new concoction, the all new Cooking Channel, is truly yummy. The Cc is designed to appeal to a new generation of foodies with shows like Food Jammers (think Mythbusters meets the Naked Chef), Indian Food Made Easy (seriously, you won’t be afraid of tumeric tumeric anymore), and Chuck’s Day Off (this dude makes things like alphabet pasta for grown-ups, cool).
And still, instead of being too hip for its own good, the network also pays homage to some unexpected godmothers and godfathers of food. We were delighted to see the Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr, the French Chef Julia Child, and the Two Fat Ladies Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson.

TV chef Clarissa Dickson-Wright has pleaded guilty to hunting offences. The 62-year-old admitted that she attended two hare coursing events in North Yorkshire in 2007, contravening the 2004 Hunting Act. A private prosecution brought against Dickson-Wright by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (Ifaw) was heard at Scarborough Magistrates' Court today. The Two Fat Ladies star did not appear in person for the trial. According to Sky News, prosecutor John Cooper told the court that the events had been "significant and concerted" attempts to flout the law, which bans hunting with dogs. He added: "What we have is a sophisticated, large and well-attended gathering which was consciously trying, by the methods it used - muzzling and the use of the gun in particular - to blur the distinction and avoid prosecution under the Hunting Act."
