    Ah the joys of TV food shows.

    As someone with a little experience of this, I was asked to say most things in 2 or 3 different ways in order to give them choice in the edit. It was all variations on a theme - but they did want a variety of expressions of the same thought.

    I can easily imagine that Jack said something like 'It was inspired by something that I ate' or 'I tried this at Tom Kitchin's and thought I would do my own take on it' - and they used the version that eventually went to air.

    The power of the edit to create a 'narrative'....

    not disagreeing and accept those things happen , was just commenting on what was said on the broadcast

    Of course, we must also remember Jack is an amateur cooking a single starter once on television. Tom Kitchin might well be more miffed if a rival top chef/restauraueur "was inspired by" his entire menu.

    I saw it, and I saw one of the judges cut it. It even wobbled :D ( the panna cotta not the judge :D )

    It must have been a minute panacotta then!

    I can see the foam air between the tuiles but I don't where there was room for panacotta below it. At no time did I see any footage of a panacotta being produced, it just made mecurious as it was the central component of her dish.

    I'll stick my neck out and say, it looked fine at the time of serving, but had disintegrated by the time Shrek and Toad had scripted their critiques (which must be fairly lengthy for the final as they have match comments to the decision), and so it was left unshown for editorial reasons.

    I think the pannacotta was actually set in the bottom of the bowl - I seem to remember one of the judges digging down to get a spoonful. Although it looked like a plate, I think there was a hollow in the middle.

    Yes, I think that is correct. Did we not see similar bowls earlier in the series, perhaps in Adam's restaurant kitchen?

    They seem to have become a fashion, didn't earlier in the series one person talk of hiding something like panacotta in one so it was only found when they had moved/eaten what was on top?

    I just watched the final week on catchup. Work commitments damn you! The Barcelona episode was excellent, yet strangely almost devoid of Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. Coincidence I wonder?

    She was only on the show for four minutes.

    I watched to especially see Ping. One of the best chefs I have seen.

    The other bonus of using that sort of dish for a pannacotta is that it is a little more forgiving in that you don't have to unmould it to serve it!! So a less than perfect pannacotta can be served with people not noticing if it hasn't quite got the perfect wobble.

    Not saying this was the case with Ping's version - but it certainly can help!

    Also not much room for a smear ...

    From Ping's appearances on BBC breakfast yesterday and The One Show did she give any indication what she has been doing since the show finished given that it will have been several months?

    Probably keeping her head down and trying to not give any clues to having won!

    It's probably been asked before, but do they actually WIN any tangible prize, apart from a trophy that looks like an electric cooker ring?

    Many BBC programmes just have some sort of trophy as the prize, Masterchef of course opens up lots of opportunities for the winner (and finalists).

    I thought the final was a damp squib, apart from Ping's amazing looking food. Who normally judges the final? I had a expected to see some proper professional judges.

    BIB - John and Gregg, as has been the case with the 'normal' version of MC right from the first series. :)

    The final week has disappeared both off my planner and the iPlayer. Anyone know where I could find this to watch? Or if it's even worth watching?
