RIP Chalky

I was really gutted to hear that chalky had passed away, i am a great fan of rick stein and watch him all the time, chalky was allways a great part of his tv programmes and could imagine how sad rick is about losing his bestfriend.

i was very sad to hear about poor chalky we enjoyed watching him run rick around on his programmes such a wonderful happy dog could not believe he was 17 wowjust imagine what a wonderful life he had lets hope its as good where he is now sending warm wishes to rick and his family too

So sad to hear about Chalky who was the most wonderful little dog - so naughty in a good way. I know Rick and the family will be very upset. As one of the fisherman on Fruits of the Sea said "That dog's more famous than Ricky Stein". RIP Chalky you'll be missed.

I feel so sorry for Rick and his family, I had a jack russell just like Chalky and lost him 7 years ago, and we still miss him. We have watched all of Ricks programs and Chalky is one of the highlights. He and Rick were a great team. RIP Chalky, you will be sadly missed.

I was very sad to hear of Chalkys passing. I was thinking when I heard the news and something instantly came to mind a little song "I'm Chalky, I'm Chalky, I'm terrier through and through. I'm Chalky, I'm Chalky I've got my eye on you. I'm Chalky, I'm Chalky, I'm always on the go. Chalky on the Rick Stein show! Loved the end of series montage - I even videoed it! Favourite bit - when he fell of the boat!!! Condolences to Rick and his family - I am sure they are feeling a little lost. What a great little dog!

Can't believe the news about Chalky. I was watching repeats on UK Food last weekend, and was singing along to 'Chalky, Chalky on the BBC' and having a good laugh at his antics - only to find out today that while I was thinking how great he was, he had already passed away the day before. I feel so sorry for Rick and his family - he was a real little character and will be sorely missed.

Hope he is enjoying a big bone and chasing postmen - wherever he is!

chalky outlived my jack russell by 9months.
I know how you feel Rick. I was so sorry when I heard chalky had passed on. He was a wonderful little character. My jack was very similar to Chalky. He had his own style and could be very bossy.

He was a star in his own rights. A real trouper

it was a dog..people die in the world every second....get over it

im so sorry about chalky he was a good age,im still grief stricken over my dogs the died several years ago,a dog breaks your heart when they die,people say its just a dog but they leave a great big hole that cant be filled.times a great healer.
god bless chalky hope your playing with my dogs in doggy heavenxxx
very best wishes to rick and family.

frankies abc1 farce testamonie

well what do you expect the

channel became a farce when it

started
to constantly rehashing

episodes of 8 simple rules

home improvement
and hope & faith week after

week and if you want to put it

to this stand
point abc1 became stale after

they continued by removing

great programming like sports

night moon lighting and mad

about you
and people got fed up with

abc1 and started to turn over

and
the channel keeping making

blunder after blunder

including showing
a scene from one episode for

the next program and showing

an completley
differant one disney should

have acted on this to say that

they syndicated abc1 and did

something about it but they

did not until it was to late
abc1 realy should be a network

channel that cattered everyone

and
they simply let the viewers

down and i am not surprised

that abc1 has gone to the

failed tv & satellite channels

grave and i have no sympathy
with abc1 when they became

shambolic.
