Interesting TV

Just watching penultimate episode of Masterchef - The Professionals and it’s if The Day Today has made a spoof of high end Danish cooking - hilarious and often revolting

It must be me but when it comes to cookery programmes I would rather watch paint dry. Each to their own but I don’t see the attraction. Before you ask, yes I do like cooking.

It’s my favourite TV series , I knew what was coming and thought "pretentious twaddle " I mean it’s not like raw kangaroo , is it?

I’m afraid I’m a Rules person (if given the chance) a steak and kidney pudding , a nice sweet followed by cheese & biscuits

He wants to make people think about parts of animals not used but edible plus caged hens etc.
I thought his food was very thought provoking ,not saying I’d eat it though

Interesting idea. I suspect the people who can fly to Copenhagen for a weekend and blow £1000 a head on the meal aren’t eating battery chickens in the first place? Perhaps he might be better dissuading people not to emit huge amounts of carbon dioxide by flying to Denmark for a meal?

Or donate some of that £1000 plus to some who struggle to afford a can of beans.

Well done Tom. He was the equally the best all the way through with Philippe, before he went out. Enjoyed that.

Might give the pig’s windpipe and chicken feet a miss though.

Just watched season 1 of A Moodys Christmas, very funny. It’s on Netflix.

First seen it 10 years ago and worth a look.

In the beginning stages I had tagged Philippe as a finalist but he somehow blew it with his last couple of dishes. A real talent though

‘A Nearly Normal Family’ on Netflix is binge worthy, although ‘nearly’ doing some heavy lifting.

We just finished Bodies on Netflix almost gave up after the 2nd episode but stuck with it. Interesting if not confusing storyline.

We somehow missed “The Tick” until now.

Perfect brain off, wine in hand, weekend watching.

Watching A Murder At The End Of The World on Disney Star.

Very slow but quite intriguing. Like a futuristic ish Agatha Christy. Two episodes to go and get a vague feeling the end maybe a let down or left wide open for another series.

Yeah, we enjoyed that as very light entertainment. As you say, it’s pretty slow, like most of the things that are interminably stretched out into these types of series. Slow Horses is a great exception to this rule.

Underrated classic. Loved “The Tick”.
