i think the lesson i have learnt from this series is that ALL plates are inherently funny....as long as you announce the chipped and cracked plates as "nan's china" you will be guaranteed laughter

As long as you polish the edges with a dirty cloth before service.
I found that chicken and egg dance incredibly cringy. Jeez.
Anyway, i agree with the whole self-indulgence of celebrities. I don't get these banquets anymore tbh, they are just wrong. It happened last year with the Olympic games banquet, we counted two or three athletes pre-selected for the GB team, the rest, celebrities.
I get the feeling that these "special events, and occasions" are merely a BBC thing, they choose a theme, invite one or two people related to that theme and call it appropriately. Don't get it.

I've enjoyed the series for it's pure entertainment values, but I must admit I did feel a bit uncomfortable watching so many celebrity freeloaders tucking into a sumptuous banquet in order to celebrate 25 years of a charity which started in response to a famine. I really do think it should have been the three resident judges, the chef's guests, and only those directly involved with the Comic Relief charity work.
This has been the worse series of GBM yet. The format is getting tired and this series was sometimes just downright outlandish.
I don't usually watch tv shows that are competitions (apart from a few quiz shows) but this series of GBM was taking the pish with the brief, the judges and the bombshells.
The final banquet didn't add any enjoyment to the experience.
It was nice to find likeminded individuals in this thread. The DS forums have a use after all
Agreement is breaking out all over! I'm agreeing with degsy about the series but I thought they did manage to inject some fun and a festive atmosphere into the banquet even if they had to bring on some strange performing characters to do it - humour must have been lacking in the food, after all. And didn't we say so all along? Those serious intense chefs are not exactly the pinnacle of fun.
All that tedious faked last-minute panic and drama was exposed for what it is when we learned that it was happening the day before. Yes, a whole day before, the chefs were there beavering away preparing their dishes and polishing their plates. Blimey. What a close-run thing that was, eh...

Wasn't it mentioned that it was the day before? I was certainly watching it thinking that

It was. She's lovely [He's lovely too
i've said it before it 's ALL about the plates this year....
TBF we've had some good ones though. Haven't we? we have, haven't we? tumbleweed...
Do chipped and crazed ones count?
I have 4 blue and white plates and one black and white one, ,my friends and I , how we laugh.
Eclectic is the latest fad.

I don't know what to do with myself any more and I am not ready to let go.

The chefs were mostly great, but Aiden didn't come across that well. He seemed particularly moody and more prima donna-ish than the others.
Daniel really was an all round good bloke.
Michael's new hair cut suited him muchly
