In 2011 the Hairy Bikers undertook their biggest challenge yet, riding to the rescue of meals on wheels. They wanted to rejuvenate the vital service, which delivers a hot lunch and a much needed face to face visit to Britain's elderly and infirm, into a lean mean catering machine fit to roll out across 21st century Britain. Now Si and Dave are back on the road, keen to find out if their plans have flourished or fallen apart at the seams.

The Bikers head north to Slaithwaite in West Yorkshire where Si and Dave helped a team of volunteers start a brand new meals on wheels. They want to know if the group has managed to keep the scheme going but when they first arrive, they find an ominously empty kitchen.

There's some sad news about the larger than life recipient of the very first meal, 92-year-old Christine Clay, but Si and Dave take comfort after a chat with her daughter Fran. Spirits are then lifted with the results of a secret survey the Bikers have conducted to discover what the local old folk make of the meals they get delivered. Just how important the service is to the recipients comes across loud and clear leaving the ladies and Bikers moved and emotional.

Si and Dave always wanted other local communities to be inspired to start their very own meals on wheels so they're thrilled to discover a pub along the valley in Golcar now cooking meals that are delivered by volunteers around the village. In the mood for a celebration, they gather friends old and new for some slap-up food and a good old dance. Show less
