There are four of them again! Hooray! Here comes the slow motion walk to the studio, and these are the headlines: • Jahdre got 3 hours sleep. • Joe thinks he can go all the way. • Luke is nervous. Again, imagine not getting chosen to do that bit because what you said was duller … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 8

Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 7
I feel sorry for the three blokes who took part in this episode, not just because for large parts of it they weren’t very good, but because everyone watching was more interested in what happened to the fourth contestant who was subsequently edited out. The start of the show told us: ‘this programme had been … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 7
Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 5

Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 4
Yes! GregGbot 2000 is back, he’s been plugged in to charge and he’s ready to pull his faces again, it’s also good for me as I now have something to write about. No female contestants tonight, which I think sets the horrid tone for this episode. First skills test, Marcus wants them to chop up … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 4
Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 3
How is it possibly the quarter finals already? One of these people has made it this far having only proved he can make custard. I made strawberry Angel Delight tonight and you don’t see me being jerked off by William Sitwell as a result. No GregG at this stage of the competition, not needed, his … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 3
Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 2
That’s right, I’ve decided to start writing reviews of episodes of Masterchef. That’s also right, I’m starting at episode two as the idea only came to me during episode two and I’ll be damned if I’m watching episode one again. Four contestants tonight, Victor, Michaela, Dave and Harrison. First up the skills test. Wareing, who … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 2
We need to talk about hand sanitiser
Look, we've discussed face masks until we're blue in the face... (See what I did there? More often than not people are wearing those blue face masks. It is indeed a strong start.) ...the argument seems to sit pretty squarly on whether you believe: A) They are used to prevent you firing globules of infected … Continue reading We need to talk about hand sanitiser
Restaurants are dead – good
That’s right, restaurants have no place in a post COVID-19 world, and frankly, it’s a good thing. Restaurants are bad. They’re bad for all sorts of reasons which I’ll explore later in this thought piece, but fortunately a global pandemic has hopefully put an end to them. As a result of Coronavirus the eating landscape … Continue reading Restaurants are dead – good

Some of you may be surprised by the number of pizza restaurants rising up in Birmingham recently - research suggests we can expect no fewer than four dough flinging outlets per person in the city centre by 2020, quite the prospect.
