The working title 'plate expectations' has now become 'Out of the Frying Pan'. It is supposed to start this month but I can't find a date. Here is what information is available:

Meanwhile, James appears to have a job at a cookery school:

After the disaster that was the Restaurant 2009, I can't wait for this programme:)

Anyway, I'm very curious about the programme.
Tatty has bricked The Gimp in their country dungeon and refuses to release him to fulfill their promotional commitments until The Gimp’s punishment is complete. Stale bread and water for two more weeks..........
It’s a harsh diet but fair, as I’m sure The Gimp would agree,
I'm subscribing to this thread (thanks for alerting me Shar) and relying on you lot to wake me up when it starts

Perfectly timed too to deal with our Masterchef withdrawal symptoms. Do we know how many episodes?
Looks like two fat ladies is returning. Clarissa hasn't changed a bit, but Jennifer is looking remarkable considering she died ten years ago, and has acquired a tattoo in the meantime.
Thank you - counting down the hours :D:D I'll nearly forgive the Beeb for the mess of the last series of The Restaurant for providing us with this potential gem
thanks sharw i almost forgot about this
yes, me too; good job I bookmarked the thread.

"Out Of The Frying Pan is a new six-part series following two of the most popular contestants from The Restaurant as they launch themselves into the world of event catering.
Since they were runners-up in the 2008 series of The Restaurant, chef James Knight Pacheco and front of house Alasdair Hooper have been taken under the wing of Raymond Blanc for intensive training at his own restaurant.
Now they're cutting the apron strings to try out their new skills in the real world. How will they manage as they take on six challenging events guaranteed to test their culinary skills to the full?

which are worth reading while we wait for the 12th!
Details of programme 2 now available:
Out Of The Frying Pan – The Shooting Party Ep 2/6
Monday 19 April
9.00-10.00pm BBC TWO
The Restaurant runners-up James and Ali join the country set in the second programme of the series, catering for a family throwing a shooting party for friends on their country estate.
James and Ali have spent the last nine months training under Raymond Blanc but are now ready to step out of the professional kitchen and into the real world.
In today's programme, chef James is keen to put a modern spin on a six-course game banquet, while Ali, working front of house, needs a crash course in how to be a butler. Can they give the family a night to remember?

Fingers crossed.
Just what is needed to deal with MC withdrawal!
Can't wait for this to start - T&G are my all time favourite couple from the restaurant.
