The BBC show celebrated 50 years of the band on tonight’s instalment by blowing up the actual Algie the pig – who Pink Floyd famously lost in the skies while promoting their album Animals – and sending the chefs to London Polytechnic at Regent Street, where Roger Waters met Nick Mason.
The museum are celebrating the Wish You Were Here hitmakers’ big anniversary and what better way to add to the huge occasion that sending The Hairy Bikers – real names David Myers and Simon ‘Si’ King – to the plaque outside where the band was formed, followed by a cameraman?
Viewers were quick to gush over the much-loved cooking duo’s appearance on the show – which was hosted by Angellica Bell and Matt Baker tonight and also had guest Virginia McKenna sat on the sofa – with one person posting on Twitter: “Nice mid dinner cooking surprise to see @HairyBikers on @BBCTheOneShow at the @UniWestminster @pinkfloyd plaque where the band was formed.”
“@pinkfloyd @rogerwaters @BBCTheOneShow great piece on Animals & Algie the Pig with @HairyBikers,” a second gushed.
Fans of the pair were also thrilled over their new vegetarian cookbook, which they were promoting on the latest episode.
One person posted: “So so so happy that the @HairyBikers have a veggie book out faves!!!!!”
A second added: “I love the hairy bikers!”
While yet another shared: “@HairyBikers so excited about your new book #TheOneShow @theoneshow.”
The One Show continues tomorrow at 7pm on BBC One.
