During the programme, Si will pick out the key moments of Dave and Si’s TV careers over the past 25 years, commemorating a special friendship that would change cookery shows forever.

It follows the 45,000 plus bikes that joined Si on a memorial journey from London to Dave’s hometown of Barrow-in-Furness in June this year.

In memory of the late TV star, who died from cancer in February at the age of 66, motorcyclists from across the UK met up to ride in a convoy to pay tribute to Dave.

The emotional ride was Si King’s last as a Hairy Biker as he closes the chapter on an incredible 25 years of memories with his biking brother.

Archive, new interviews, and previously unseen footage help celebrate Dave’s life, charting a journey that took him around the world and cooking up a storm as one of television’s greatest double acts.

The Hairy Bikers: You’ll Never Ride Alone has been produced for BBC Two by South Shore. Catherine Catton, Head of Commissioning, Factual Entertainment and Events, commissioned it. The Commissioning Editor is Jasmyn McGuile. Executive Producers are Andrew Mackenzie and Melanie Leach.
