Anyone watching this show on ITV?
What can i say, but it is a pile o crap.
Let me just say that I am sure Marco must be an excellent cook as he has won many awards over the years and built up a great reputation for himself, but this show is PURE, how do we say it on the Internets, FAIL.
Firstly, naming the show "Great British Feast". This sounds to similar to BBC's show "The Great British Menu" which has been around for a few years now and done really well. The BBC show brought together many chefs from around GB, brought together some great ingredients from around GB (locally sourced) and produced some amazingly looking food. In Marcos show, he seems to think that it is a new idea to talk about sourcing this local produce and make out as if he is the only one doing it. I mean WTF, get with the program man. This stuff is cOld and been done by loads of shows already.
Secondly, all the stuff that has been on the show has been done in recent shows already by other TV chefs. Hunting wood pigeon - Ramsay, Collecting Cockles - Hugh funrly whatshisname, making stake tartar - Simon Rimmer. It seems to me as though the people who have made the show have just run out of ideas and stolen bits from other shows.
Thirdly, why the fuck have they stolen the music from the show Dexter and just stuck it randomly throughout the show? Also they seem to have this Tim Burton (dark music) going on as well as if everything is SOO dramatic in the show that it needs the dramatic music!
and fourthly, the guy is just a nob. He seems to produce food that I could knock up easily, and then go on about how good it is. If you look at the food that he has prepared over the past two shows, he has hardly pushed the boat out on what people consider as "Modern day" food. Look at the menu he has as it stands: main course - fish pie, starter - Venison tartare. Fish Pie! fuck me.
