Before he passed away, Mark Speight, along with Ciaran Murtagh, starred in a UK Discovery Kids TV Show called 'Star Munchies'. The premise of the show was that Mark and Ciaran were 'chefs to the stars', cooking a variety of unappetising meals for celebrities. As far as I can remember, they would unexpectedly turn up to the house of the celebrity after cooking the meal and appear as though they were crazed stalkers. This usually resulted in the celebrity closing the door on them (obviously this was scripted). An episode that sticks out is one with Dani Harmer.
After days of searching, I managed to track down the studio director of this show, Peter Demetris, and messaged him on Twitter. Unfortunately, he does not have anything from the show.
From memory, I've remade the melody of the theme song if that's any help to people: soundcloud.com/typeefaacee/star-munchies/s-TSDeEXkJLy4
As far as I can remember, the lyrics were
"? ? ? ? ? ? Star Munchies,
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?,
? ? ? ? ? ?Star Munchies,
Never in your life have you seen such crazy food"
(Probably not much help lol)
I've searched through Box of Broadcasts but the channel as a whole doesn't seem to be archived on there. I'm currently getting in touch with Ciaran Murtagh to see if he has anything from the show.
If anyone has even the slightest bit of footage from this show then that would be amazing. Thanks!
2022 UPDATE:
Sorry for completely abandoning this thread. More research has been done and more info has been found! bbryant99 has discovered old listings of the show along with the synopses!

I got in touch with Ciaran Murtagh (Spud) again a while ago and he showed me the only two bits of media he has left of the show.
