Hooray, the Beeb have put Masterchef on at a commuting friendly time. I can get home, cook tea and still have time to watch - and the new series started yesterday.
Now, long-term readers will know that I have long cherished a crazed idea that I might be good enough to get into the first round (if I could learn to overcome my issues with fish and seafood)… but this year, at least on the evidence of yesterday’s programme, the standard seems to have vaulted several levels.
I think that the final three yesterday might all have got through in different heats or in previous competitions. I certainly wanted them to break the rules and puty all three through!
My heart went out to little Welsh Art student - he really did have a magic touch. But after the barrister’s story about his father making him apply to the bar because he could always cook later I really felt that he had to go through. And was it my imagination? Or was there a touch of “so there” in his phone call to his dad?
And I suppose if I miss something there’s always the iPlayer….
