    The justifications for how the dishes meet the brief are laughable.

    I realise there is a thing about modern life not having meals at the table together but surely many will have had a sunday roast (or christmas) together with the family's 'best' cutlery etc.

    So what's so good about this apart from probably being a very, very tasty dinner.

    "Properly made me laugh" Are we all missing something hilarious? No, we are not, it's not funny.

    oh for ****s sake 8 for a normal roast dinner and a tablecloth.....what world are they in that a tablecloth is "fun"?????????

    eta does that mean at the banquet the waiters will come along remove everything off the tables and throw a tablecloth on (presumably on top of the tablecloth already there)? oh how people will laugh...

    I know. Not sure why he thought it was funny. He's a west country boy and looks like he's had plenty of family dinners thoughout his life.
    And then he said it was just a roast dinner so i'm amazed at the score.

    Quite so. Really pleased for Emily but Peter's was a nice roast dinner, some pretty china, and a 78.

    I use pretty china, and I don't find it or me funny.

    My mother is probably the age of any nan of Peter's or even older. If she put music on for Sunday lunch it would be a CD on her laptop....

    A bit of a cliche all round, I fear.

    :D :cool: I do think they must live very dull lives.


    I properly don't like Peter, he's a smug twerp and he said "the proof is in the pudding", which is just nonsense.

    The expression is "the proof of the pudding is in the eating", which makes sense.

    Previous experience of Tom Kerridge made me think he had a decent sense of humour.

    It seems I was wrong.

    Unless Peter has some compromising photos of him or something.

    I really don't remember my childhood gastronomic encounters resulting in me peeing myself laughing. Tomorrow's dessert is going to be an arctic roll with a load of drumstick lollies shoved into it designed to look like a hedgehog isn't it? Except that sounds a chuff of a lot more amusing than anything Peter's managed so far.

    I'm a teensy bit annoyed now. Never have guessed would you? ;)

    This week so far, only Emilys starter has really met the brief.

    Its a God send Corrigan isn't judging this or we would all have shot ourselves by now, listening to him going on about the humour.

    Oh please! :rolleyes:

    I fear we have sunk to a new low, and I'm absolutely gob-smacked that TK has helped plunge the depths!

    Nan's nicely-cooked but BORING roast dinner on old plates is not funny. It's not even mildly amusing! It has nothing to do with Comic Relief! :mad:

    (Cue forced laughter from the judges on Friday!)

    ... and if one more chef justifies the comedy element by explaining that "food is nice and makes you smile", I swear I'll reach into my TV and grab them by the goujons!
