Italians are famously laid-back about their cuisine, so I’m sure they won’t have a problem with the reviews handed out by Danny Dyer and his daughter Dani on the entertaining travel show Absolutely Dyer: Danny and Dani Do Italy. What did Dyer Sr make of Italy’s garlic bread, you ask? “Not as good as Pizza Hut.” Did his daughter enjoy the arancini they tried at a Sicilian food market? “I like the one in Zizzi better.” Like I said, Italians don’t really care about that sort of thing. I’m sure they’ll be fine about it.
Food aside, this is a fun, breezy hour with the Dyers, as light and frothy as a decent cappuccino. Danny, famous for his acting and presenting, and Dani, a personality and former Love Island winner, are good company, if a little uninterested in the travel part of making a travel show. It begins with Danny admitting as much. “We’re not travellers, we’re not journalists, I dunno what we are,” he says, as they confess that they’re not really sure why E4 asked them to do this in the first place.
