Justin Lee Collins: High Diver, Sky1

*****

3 Justin Lee Collins High Diver, Sky1: I enjoyed this programme in which Justin went from complete novice at diving and scared of heights to competing against the professionals and diving off the 10m board. I really felt his fear when he firsts steps on the high diving platform. Coached by ...

Masterchef - The Professionals Finale

*****

This is the Masterchef I want to see. Forget the amateurs and the celebrities, I don’t want to see mediocre cheffing, I want to see professionals who have passion for food, talent for cooking and can inspire me.

This short series came to a close last night with Derek from Scotland the deserved winner. From his initial appearance it was obvious that he had real talent. Though as the series continued and the contestants were whittled down to the final three, there was a brief moment where I thought that Murray was going to steal the title from him. There was obviously no love lost between them and Murray’s insistance to go solo and not ask for help when the 3 finalists were preparing food for 30 Michelin starred chefs probably was a factor in his downfall - teamwork,  I would think is a major requirement in a professional kitchen.

Overall the series was very enjoyable. The standard of cooking was excellent. In particular the work that went into the meal for the Michelin chefs stood out. It was immense, intricate and a credit to the contestants that they survived! Though I would have preferred more food challenges where the chefs are given a set number of ingredients and have to create a dish.

The replacement of John Torrode by Michel Roux Jr. was definitely a good idea. Though Gregg Wallace seemed to flounder beside Michel. His opinion of any of the food he tasted after Michel tended just to be “what he said”. Michel’s critique tended never to be all negative, he could find something in most dishes to praise and encourage the chefs.

Fingers crossed the BBC will drop the celebrity and amateur masterchefs and continue this series.

Weeds, Season 4 Finale

*****

This was a much better way to end than the OTT Series 3. Lovely twist. Getting very dark. Doug needed to keep the humour

Heat (RTE)

*****

A decent enough reality tv cookery show but nothing to grab you. Not as good as Top Chef or as bad as Hell's Kitchen.
