Is this the same studio they filmed in previous series?
I am not sure if I like the new studio though

This looks incredibly small. I agree the workbench and the back wall are far too close together and panning up and down it constantly makes me feel slightly sick.
I think it was commented on the last time he was on the Wright Stuff a few months ago.
I agree about the panning is hurting my eyes now
Its a shame they havent refreshed the format -we still have the omlette challenge even though we all complain, we still have the Great British Menu which doesnt work as we cant watch a 5min clip and expect to be hooked. They should show The Great British Bake Off and split up the last episode of the series where mary berry and paul hollywood show you how to do each technical challenge properly
Of all the kitchen designs out there today I can’t believe they came up with something so retro, ordinary, dark and dreary. I really don’t like the brick wall with bars on the fake windows. And there is that blank space behind the cooking centre with just a shelf. The sink is over to the side and it just looks all so disorganised, depressing and like others have said, like any other staged programme. I actually would have been happy if they would have stuck with the old set, it seemed much more welcoming on a Saturday morning.
I’ve also noted that there seems to be a clumsiness in the live programmes that have just come back from summer holidays. It’s like they’ve forgotten what they are supposed to do and seem to trip over their words. It’s a bit funny really.
EDIT: I also think they should have put on the British Bake Off as well. I am so tired of hearing about the Olympics now. Not only that but 'ground-breaking' and 'pushing the boundries' being said over and over again drove me crazy when I watched the original showing of the programme, now I have to listen to it all again! ugh! :mad:
Basically he said he didn't change what he ate or drank he just limited the amount.
As for the show, my Sky planner didn't pick up on it being back so I missed it :mad:
Off to iPlayer I guess.
Television is a poorer place without him.
Are they still persisting with that stupid omelette business...? you can carry an idea too far for too long, it is silly...I mean, how much faster can someone do an omelette? I think it is an amateurish thing to ask professional chefs to do. They need to change the record. Best cooking show ever was ol' Floyd...the one from back in the 80s' when he travelled around France showing us the real provincial cooking. I think that was his first - Floyd on France - nobody has bettered it yet. On the other end of the scale, Nigella with her eyelash-fluttering and her black satin night robe, she is not about the food she is about selling herself as something she is not - a domestic goddess because we all know she employs a cook, a nanny and staff...makes me want to kick the TV in. Floydy once said the show should be about the food, not the person stirring the pot. I miss him:(
60 minutes of the show is filler. Take this off the air and put something decent on instead on a Saturday morning. Who wants to watch a bunch of self-important chefs faffing around making foams and emulsions?
Judging by the threads on this forum, many people other than yourself maybe?
There are other channels available on a Saturday morning of course.
I saw him at the Good Food Show once which was the first time I really noticed as I don't watch SK regularly, but this morning there were a number of things he did which made me cringe:
When I saw him at the GFS he made a big joke of people saying he was dirty. He blew his nose on a tea towel - he definitely touched his nose and mouth with it. He then proceeded to wipe a couple of plates with the tea towel - all the while acting as if it was hugely amusing. He served up the dish on the same two plates and then two 'lucky' people from the audience were called up to taste. I wouldn't eat anything served by him. Nasty.
I noticed him coughing over the dish when he took it to the table this morning. I think it was Glyns dish
My other gripe is the total disconnect from reality. The chefs use ingredients most of us can't buy down the supermarket and even if we can, they're not the standard these chefs get e.g. a sea bass fillet from Morrisons is tiny by comparison to the size and thickness the chefs use. I know people will say go to a fishmonger, but not all towns have one - I live in an ex mining town, ain't much call for a fishmonger here.
Saturday Kitchen shows wine being bought at normal supermarkets, why not show the food shopping being done as well? Show us how to cook great food using normal ingredients we can all access.
Happens regularly when Purnell is on.
Sometimes in backfires like when Galton Blackiston was asked by Purnell whether his wagu beef was from Japanese cows and he said something like "no, they don't have slanty eyes" :eek:
There was an audible gasp from the celebrity guest.

That was brilliant! I hope that clip ends up on Youtube!
I know a lot of people love undercooked meat, but it always safer to eat it only when it is well done.
I used to really like James Martin's Sat Kitchen program, but he is now on tv so much that even that has become boring. And as mentioned above I hate the omelette challenge - not only has it been done to death, but it's a morally wrong waste of food.
The Omelette challenge is stupid, and the ridiculous puns just annoy me. I don't see what's morally wrong about it though, there's plenty of food to go round for everyone.
Regarding the lamb - I don't normally mind my meat a little rare but that was way too undercooked for my liking, he made a total mess of it.
