'The Celebrity MasterChef heats are over, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
'and tonight the competition gains pace.' | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
We're down to our final eight and today it's going to be brutal. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:14 | |
I didn't in my wildest dreams | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
think I would get anywhere near this far. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
I climbed a mountain and I'm here, which is fantastic. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
It's just a different level of competition now, it's like, | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
everybody who's here is more than a competent cook. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
If they don't keep me in, they're a bit weird. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
I'm definitely fired up, without a doubt, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
and I think seeing the other contestants has fired me up. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Let's do it, you know? | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
'They're about to face their biggest challenges.' | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
ALL SHOUT | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
This is when we get serious. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
No-one is going to want to go home at this stage. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
'If these celebrities want a shot at the culinary adventures that await, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
'first they will need to get through this test. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
'To cook their ultimate show-stopping dish.' | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
Welcome back to the MasterChef kitchen. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
You are the best eight from the heats. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
This is a wonderful achievement and you should be very proud of yourselves. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, it's your one show-stopping dish. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
You have one hour and 30 minutes. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
At the end of this, two of you are going to leave the competition. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Aw, give us something delicious! Let's cook! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
When you get eight good cooks fighting for six places, John, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
you are going to get great dishes, you're going to get fireworks. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Come on, guys, bring it on! | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
'Journalist Janet has earned her place in the competition with dishes full of flavour.' | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
I think the food tastes wonderful. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
'But she hasn't always pulled off the presentation.' | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
I think the only reason to use the shell is to serve crab meat in it, not to serve a salad in it. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:37 | |
Well, we'll have to agree to differ on that, Gregg. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
My biggest worry is they're going to start whingeing on | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
the way they've done all the way along about my presentational skills. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
I just think my way's right and their way's wrong | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
and that's the beginning and end of it. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:51 | |
-What are you going to make for us? -Lamb shank pie with the bone sticking out the top. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
-Lamb shank pie, pastry puff top. -Yeah. -In an hour and a half? -Yes. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
-Are you slightly mad or what, Janet? -You know I'm mad. That's why you like me. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-Yeah, that's true. Absolutely true. -I'm using a pressure cooker to cook the meat. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
Sometimes lamb shanks can be really rich and a little bit sickly, can't they? | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-Do you know what I mean? -Have you started moaning at the idea of the dish before you've even tasted it? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:21 | |
You've laid down a bit of a moan. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
Yes. Because I want you to succeed, Janet, I like you, I think you're a really good cook. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
But some people like it being rich. Just cos you don't, he might. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Janet is a marvellous cook, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
and I love the idea of eating her lamb shank pie with the bone sticking out the pastry. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
But where is the style and elegance? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
If she wants to stay in this competition, she's going to have to take it on sooner or later. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
-'Comedian Ade had a rocky start.' -The thing is, your rosti's a bit greasy. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
'But he's made great progress.' | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
Ade, the culinary term is "boom"! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
I've spent the last week in a vague panic | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
trying to think of what to make, | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
how to make it, whether it's good enough. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
You don't normally do that for your day job, do you? | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
The pressure is just enormous. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-Ade, what are you making? -I'm making you a seafood risotto. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
I made this for my wife the other day and she said it was the best food I'd ever made. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
So that's why I'm making it. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
Am I right in thinking you are making the stock yourself to feed the rice? | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
I am, yes. That's been the kind of heart of it, really. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
And the secret is trying to pack flavour into the rice. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
Although you don't see it in the end, it's what makes the dish. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
You're an ambitious cook, aren't you? You don't want to go home now. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Well, I am ambitious, yes. And there's no point entering this kind of thing | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
unless you want to go as far as you can. And that means winning, doesn't it? | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
For the whole competition, I have not played it safe. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
Rather than coming in and doing something boring and going out with something boring, | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
I'd rather destroy something fabulous, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
and go out with, "Well, I gave it a go." Do you know what I mean? | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-I'm cooking lobster tails... -Ooh. -..in a champagne sauce | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
and a hint of Irish. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-What? -Oh, some potatoes. -HE LAUGHS | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-Some home-made chips I'm going to do. -How many times have you cooked this dish, Shane? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
-I've never cooked this dish before. -Oh. -As per usual, lads. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
You know? Nothing's ever changed. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
I haven't ever done it before so, you know what, blaze of glory. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
A champagne sauce is not easy, neither is to cook a lobster perfectly. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
Very tricky for a novice to do. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
'From the beginning, actor Brian has shown a tendency to panic.' | 0:06:33 | 0:06:38 | |
HE GASPS | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
Brian, are you listening? Three more, yeah? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
So, four, two, two, three. Yeah? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
It's a nightmare! | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
'But demonstrated considerable promise.' | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
I think that whole thing is delicious. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
The more you achieve, you do get an inner confidence going. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
BLENDER WHIRRS | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-What are you cooking for us, Brian? -It's roast duck breasts with flavours of beetroot. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
So there's a beetroot fondant, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
there's raw beetroot, there's a little bit of pickled beetroot, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
and different colour beetroots. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-This is a hugely ambitious dish, Brian. -It is. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
Cos I'm also, I'm also wanting to show skill by doing my own fillet. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
Ah, you're going to take that duck off the bone, are you? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Are you going to manage this? -Well, I don't know. Time is an issue, without a doubt. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
-You all right, mate? -Yes, I am. Yes, yes. -HE LAUGHS | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
Naturally I'm always like this. I'm just a panicker, basically. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
I'm really pushing myself today, yes, into a fairly dangerous area. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
Although it looks like a very simple dish, it's a lot of effort. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Over half an hour gone! | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
You've got just under an hour left. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
I'm really keen to stay in. Absolutely. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
I've had a brilliant ride so far. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
Mm! Mm-mm-mm! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
That has got to be one of the best tarts I've ever tasted. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
What is the recipe today, Denise? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
So, we're going to have a monkfish, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
a bit along the lines of a tandoori. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
We're going to have a mooli and pomegranate salad, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
French beans just done in a bit of butter and garlic, and that's basically it. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:32 | |
How much do you want to stay in the competition with us? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
I've already designed my finals meal, | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
so, er, I've got enough time to stay for the finals, if you'll have me. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Spiced monkfish salad with vegetables. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:47 | |
My worry is whether it comes up looking like a plate that you picked up from the buffet. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
It's not special enough for somebody trying to get through to the last six. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
I hope that I serve up a really well-prepared, thought-out dish. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:04 | |
You're halfway! You've got 45 minutes left. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
'Comedian Katy has made some standout dishes.' | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
It's brilliant, really wonderful. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
'But they've not been without fault.' | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-That sauce is a little wishy-washy, a little watery. -OK. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:25 | |
Someone asked me the other day, "Are you a good cook?" | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
And I said, "I'm literally finding out on a daily basis." | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Katy, I found the remnants of some chocolate-looking puffs of stuff. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
-Yes. -Quite extraordinary. What are you making for us? | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
I am making chocolate and raspberry tortellini | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
with a white chocolate and cardamom sauce. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
-Classic Italian dish with ravioli, but in a sweet version? -Yeah. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
I really like making pasta and I wanted to just do something new with it. So I've sort of invented it. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
But I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
Wow! I am really impressed by Katy's attempt to make a chocolate tortellini. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:10 | |
It could be over-sweet, it could be over-sticky, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
but wow, that is one ambitious dish! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
There's only, sort of, two people in the world, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
both of whom live in my house, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-that have ever eaten this before. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
I'm slightly worried it might be not very nice. Or just a bit too weird. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
Guys, you've only got 30 minutes left. An hour's gone. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
30 minutes left. One show-stopper. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
I started off the heat, kind of, | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
like, firing, I hit the ground running. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
Fabulous flavour you've got in there. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
I like the flavour of the prawns with the strawberry sauce, it's sweet and peppery, I like it. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
Oh, get out of here! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
Er, Speech, we've got a soda siphon, a water bath, a plastic bag. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
Really? You... What the hecky-deck are you making? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
I am making trio of pork, | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
so there's jerk pork belly, braised pork shoulder with apricots, rosemary, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:29 | |
and sun-dried tomato and ginger-stuffed pork loin sous-vide. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:36 | |
Because it's a trio, I felt that the three bits of pork should be cooked differently. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
-This is dangerous, isn't it? -Yeah, it's dangerous, definitely. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
But you can't really play it safe and try and stand out at the same time. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
I've chosen to use a water bath, that's just the new thing, that's how they do it. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
I don't have a water bath at home, but that's what's hot right now. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
20 minutes left. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
'Presenter Les's early rounds were plagued with disaster.' | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-Come on, Les, this is all going to be ruined. -Sorry, chef. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
There's too much sauce. You have to replate. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Can you imagine that food to be served to these guys? No way. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:28 | |
-'But he's managed to turn things around.' -Not a fault to be found, Les. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-HE LAUGHS Brilliant! -Thank you very much. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
I am really determined, determined to show John and Gregg that they made the right decision. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:44 | |
-Whoa! -I want to prove to them, but most of all to myself, that I can do it. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
Your bench presently looks like you're cooking with four four-year-olds, Les. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
I know. I had a bit of an accident with my mango chutney, I'm afraid. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
I put too much into the blender and it went everywhere. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
-What are you making? -I'm making you lamb curry | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
with mini naan breads, | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
mango chutney and basmati rice. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
I don't mean to scare you but you've only got five minutes left. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
I can't believe the level of cooking and the level of ambition | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
going on in this room today, John. It fills my soul with joy. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
Last 60 seconds. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
It's got to go on a plate. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
That's it! If you're still working, you're over time. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
'The celebrities have been asked to deliver show-stopping dishes. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:23 | |
'Speech has chosen a trio of pork. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
'Jerk pork belly on a red kidney bean mash, | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
'pork shoulder in an apricot stew, | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
'and sous-vide pork loin wrapped in pancetta and stuffed with sun-dried tomatoes, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:38 | |
'on top of asparagus with a feta cheese foam.' | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
Your sous-vide pork, considering it's the first time you've ever done it, is properly cooked. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
But the sun-dried tomato inside is just a bit dry. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
And the pork itself, because it's such a tender, flavourless piece of meat | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
is lost with those big, salty flavours | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
of sun-dried tomato, asparagus and feta foam. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-It's just an odd combination. -Mm-hm. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
I particularly like the shoulder in the middle. There's a sweetness and a sharp acidity there, | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
and the meat is falling apart. I love that. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
I like the crispiness on top of the pork belly at the end, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
and I like the sweet fruits you've got underneath it, and I like your bean mash. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:28 | |
But I find all three of them are pork flavoured, obviously, | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
with a little bit of salt a little bit of sweetness. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
There's not a great deal of variation between one and the other. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
I went for ambitious, erm, and I ended up losing on flavour. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:44 | |
'Ade's made a seafood risotto cooked in a fish stock made from scratch | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
'with sea bream, mussels, clams, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
'prawns and fennel.' | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
I love the vibrancy of it. I can smell the saffron from here. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
You start off with a sort of heady dustiness that comes from saffron, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
then the saltiness from mussels, the sweetness that's coming from the prawns, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
then you've got this sort of very, very rich fish stock running through with that chalky rice. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
The rice itself could be cooked a tiny bit more. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-Oh, really? -Just a tiny bit more. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
But the rest of that I think is lovely. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
I mean, that is properly rich, opulent food. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
I'm happy with the rice, I'm really happy with the rice, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
and that lovely flavour of saffron that comes straight away. It's heady. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
It's almost an aroma on your palate, if that makes any sense. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
And then after that, you get sweet and salty shellfish. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
I think it's a very, very well-made, very tasty risotto. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
Thank you. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
It's delicious. It is delicious. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
'Denise's monkfish has been coated in a yoghurt and peppercorn crust, | 0:17:08 | 0:17:14 | |
'served with mustard seed potatoes, | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
'green beans on tomato relish, and a mooli radish, carrot and pomegranate salad.' | 0:17:16 | 0:17:22 | |
You went over time at the end. You were rushing around and I think that shows. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:29 | |
It's not the prettiest of dishes. It looks a little chucked together. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
It was, darling. It's a miracle it is on that plate. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
Uh-oh! | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
I think you've got some very exciting and different flavours going on on there. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
However, the dish really needs smartening up. It looks messy. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
The fish, the yoghurt coating around the outside is a bit sweet. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
It should be spicy. And the fish itself is not cooked all the way through. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
And presently, at the moment, I think your fish is swimming in a pond. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Sorry, Denise, it's not for me. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
I knew that that fish was an accident waiting to happen and it happened. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
You come in here and you think, "Maybe I got away with it." | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
But you can't fool them, can you? It's real. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
'Les has made a lamb curry with mini naan breads, | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
'mango chutney, cucumber raita and basmati rice.' | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
Loads of work to pack into an hour and a half. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-No wonder you had it all up your arms and your legs and... -Yeah. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
Your curry is really tasty, really tasty. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
Loads of turmeric, sweet with coconut milk and spicy with chilli. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
A little bit of cumin, but what I do like is that background ginger and onion amongst that smoky lamb. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
Thank you. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
I love your chutney! | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
It is sweet and it's light and it finishes in a bit of chilli heat. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
But these aren't really naans, | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-they are like mini scones. -OK. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
But these scones with your chutney is as close to a cream tea with a curry as you're going to get. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:17 | |
Les, you continue to surprise me, in a good way. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
Thank you. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
I feel that I did impress them, that they liked all the elements, | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
so, yeah, I feel good and happy. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
'Shane's lobster tails and chips | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
'have been served with a sweet pepper salad and champagne sauce.' | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
I like the sweetness of the lobster, cooked it very well. Like your crispy chips. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
However, that sauce could be slightly less thick | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
-and slightly less strong. Still taste booze in it. -OK. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
The sauce, 100 percent I agree. I was tasting it wrong, | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
I was tasting on my hand instead of on a spoon. And I think I over-salted it, too. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
-Saying all that, Shane, I've got to say, you can't be disappointed with that. -Thank you. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
Generally speaking, I'm actually really happy. It went way better than I expected. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
'Brian's duck breast has been served with beetroot four ways, | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
'pickled, fondant, poached, and a beetroot paint. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
'It's accompanied by a Madeira sauce.' | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
I tell you what, mate, that is incredible. Incredible effort! | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Beautiful dish, look at it! | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
Silky sauce, as well, look at that! | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
I love that salted beetroot that's sitting on that side, almost to the stage where it's burnt. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:59 | |
Your pickled beetroot, thinly sliced, sour and sharp, I think is wonderful. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
Brian, I am blown away by the amount of work on this plate. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:08 | |
For me, stunning. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-You're joking me. -Absolutely stunning. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
I particularly love the sauce John poured out of that jug, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
that's got a slight smokiness, real richness, a nice deep sweetness, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
perfect for the duck flesh. My only complaint is I would like that duck skin crispier. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:30 | |
And that is my only complaint in an otherwise absolutely stupendous dish. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:36 | |
Well, I feel quite stunned. Quite stunned. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
'Katy's showstopper is her chocolate and raspberry tortellini | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
'in a white chocolate cardamom sauce with hazelnut brittle.' | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
Your tortellini could be a lot better shaped. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
The mellow chocolate flavour of the tortellini | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
against your raspberry inside is nice, it's refreshing. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
But a white chocolate sauce with brittle, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
even for me, is a sugar-thick overload. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
It is hugely sugaristic. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
The actual tortellini themselves are just holding a soft filling, | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
and that soft filling is going into a soft sauce, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
so it's more like a sort of white chocolate raspberry soup, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:41 | |
than actually a bowl of tortellini. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
I definitely have made some mistakes and some flavour mistakes, which is a cardinal sin. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
'Finally, it's Janet, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
'who's made a lamb shank pie topped with puff pastry, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
'accompanied by wild garlic cabbage and honey-glazed carrots.' | 0:22:57 | 0:23:02 | |
I love that. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
And you may say, "I don't care about presentation." | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
Well, you obviously do. That looks fantastic. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
Thank you. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
I think that's fabulous. Really fabulous. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
The lamb is soft and there is a sweet, rich sauce in there. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:32 | |
I'm also in love with these veg. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
The veg are just delicious! You've got honey on the carrots, making them sweeter. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
You've got wild garlic leaf through the cabbage, which is giving it a lemon and a garlic flavour. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:45 | |
That is absolutely lovely. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
You've added a sweetness coming from some sort of apple jelly, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
lots of red wine, lots and lots of onions going with the meat. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
The meat is lovely and soft and tender, good job in an hour and a half. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
I like your crispy pastry on top. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
It's really very, very good indeed. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
I can't believe you've said that! | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
I can't believe it. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
-Surely you can find something to have a moan about? -No. -Go on, have a go. -No. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
It went very well. In fact, it went very well indeed, | 0:24:13 | 0:24:17 | |
and I'm concerned that if they like something that much, they'll never like anything I do again. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:24 | |
Let me tell you, that is a level up from what I expected at this stage. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:29 | |
And I'm serious about that, I thought that was wonderful. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
Thank you very much. We need to make a decision because two of you are leaving the competition. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
Off you go. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
-Oh, well, that was such fun! -THEY LAUGH | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
-Oh, thank God I took Valium! -THEY LAUGH | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
That was fantastic! | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
To get eight of them in the kitchen together and go, "Right, cook for your place in the next round," | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
just brought out some stunning dishes and some really fantastic effort. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
-Whose is the best dish for you? -Janet's. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
The whole thing was just delicious! | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Best I've seen Janet cook and she made an attempt at presentation, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
even if she doesn't want to admit it to herself. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
Good on you, Janet, you stay in the competition. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
I can tell you the person today who has absolutely surprised me beyond belief and that's Brian. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
That was a massively courageous attempt. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
I think he deserves to go through on the strength of it. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
-What do you think about Les today? -I think there is no denying his effort, his workload, | 0:25:42 | 0:25:49 | |
his desire for the competition, and more importantly, his progress. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
I think you might be right. We're going to keep Les, then? | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
Ade's rice dish today was quite amazing. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
It was layered, and surprisingly, you got so much going on at different times within your palate. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
He made his own fish stock that was very, very good. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
I think he's great. | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
For me today, Shane did really good. Really good job. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
Even though he's not the most experienced, he seems to have a very good touch. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:17 | |
There's one person who cooked today whose competition is over and that's Denise. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
I agree with you, John, I think Denise's time has come. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
The dish looked a mess and the fish wasn't cooked. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
John, it's about as bad as it gets. Definitely the worst dish in the room. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
One more person needs to leave the competition. Who's it going to be? | 0:26:31 | 0:26:35 | |
Katy, today, was really ambitious, | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
the only person in the room to do dessert, and for that I applaud her. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
But actually, it didn't eat very nicely, it was too sweet. And it was too soft. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
I really don't know if that's enough to stay in, actually, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
because I think there's some really amazing cooking from the others. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
Speech has a style all of her own. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
Caribbean meets London style, and I do like it, and I have to admire the work she put in. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:03 | |
Speech has got the skill, | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
it's just whether she can actually get those combination of flavours absolutely right. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
I didn't realise I'd be this emotional about it, | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
where it's something... | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
..that I'm realising now means a lot to me. A lot. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
So I don't want to go yet. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
Two of you are, unfortunately, leaving us. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 | |
The first contestant to leave us... | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
..is Denise. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
See you. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
I'm very proud to have got this far, or I hope I will be tomorrow. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:04 | |
At this moment, I'm just gutted that it's over. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
Cos it's a good ride, you know, it's a good journey. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
The second contestant to leave us is... | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
-..Katy. -Thank you. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
That's it. I shall never touch another pan or spoon again, | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
-except in anger. -SHE LAUGHS | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
No, I've had a brilliant time. And I've doubled, tripled my cooking repertoire. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:45 | |
There are things I can cook now that I'd never even have considered cooking before. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:50 | |
-Our final six. -Celebrate, by all means, | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
but you have absolutely no idea what's coming up next. | 0:28:55 | 0:29:00 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:29:00 | 0:29:03 | |
'It's 8am and the six remaining celebrities are travelling through Warwickshire.' | 0:29:13 | 0:29:20 | |
Historic Warwick. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
'Having proved themselves with their show-stopping dishes, | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
'they will now have to deliver on a much grander scale. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
'This is Warwick Castle, | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
'on a site dating back over 1,000 years | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
'and the regal setting for their next challenge.' | 0:29:36 | 0:29:40 | |
Welcome to the magnificent, medieval Warwick Castle. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
Today there is a battle enactment | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
between the two sides in the War of the Roses, | 0:30:00 | 0:30:04 | |
the houses of York and the houses of Lancaster. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
You have to create a banquet for medieval soldiers. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:12 | |
Two teams. Janet, Ade and Les. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:17 | |
Speech, Brian and Shane. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
Three hours, guys. Plenty of time. Off you go. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:25 | |
'The two teams now have to create their dishes from ingredients that would have been available | 0:30:27 | 0:30:32 | |
'in the 15th century. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
'And then serve it in the great banqueting hall | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
'that is nestled in the heart of the castle.' | 0:30:38 | 0:30:40 | |
I don't know whether they'll have knives and forks because of the times. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
'Shane, Speech and Brian have been given pheasant, cabbage, | 0:30:47 | 0:30:52 | |
'beer, pike, parsnips, | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
'carrots, wine, bread and plums.' | 0:30:56 | 0:31:01 | |
Do you think we're doing, like, baking those... | 0:31:03 | 0:31:07 | |
-What, whole fish? -So bake them out like a big thing. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:10 | |
That's the biggest thing we've got to look like a banqueting type thing, isn't it? | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
If we do it, like, as one whole thing, there will be bones. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
Fantastic! | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
'In the other tent, Janet, Les and Ade | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
'have been given rabbit, fresh herbs including lovage, | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
'figs, dates and apricots, | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
'quinces, mussels, | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
'clams, gooseberries and salmon.' | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
Does anyone know how to fillet those fish? | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
Oh, no, let's not fillet it. Let's not go there. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
I think looking like that is more medieval. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
Look, someone who worked with me earlier. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:53 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
What we could do for a dessert, | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
we could use more exotic fruits, medieval fruit tatin. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
-You'd want to definitely use these veg. -Yeah. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
We need two well-organised, very busy tents | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
because you've got 100 hungry soldiers to feed. | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
Big question mark on whether they're going to succeed or not. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
Is there a team leader? | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
-You mean like a supervisor? -Correct. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:27 | |
-Well, who else would it be? -All right. OK. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
All I've said is if Les cooks his fish now, cos they're very big fish, | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
then they can keep warm or they can be lukewarm, | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
but then he can make things to go with them and decorate them. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
He's got to allow time for the presentation. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:47 | |
I know what you're going to say! | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
I know it! All right, I said the P word! | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
I was going to come and give you a big hug. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
-All right, you can give me a mini hug. -Aww! -Aww! | 0:32:54 | 0:32:57 | |
She's doing presentation! I love you! I love you! | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
'Les starts his salmon main | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
'by stuffing it with a mixture of lovage, parsley and ginger.' | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
I've never cooked quite as big a salmon as this before. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
How long are you going to cook the fish for, Les? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Er, we reckon between 20 minutes to an hour and a half. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
-About an hour and a half. -An hour and a half? | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
-It won't take an hour and a half. -I think an hour. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:38 | |
-Two hours? Big, isn't it? -OK, let me just say something. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
-A chicken, as dense as it is, takes about an hour and ten minutes, right? -Yeah. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
-A duck takes about an hour and a half. -Right. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
-A fish takes longer, does it? -No. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
No, no, absolutely not. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
-That's... -HE LAUGHS | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
It's a salmon. About 35, maybe 40, Les, if you're lucky. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:08 | |
'Janet has decided to make a rabbit stew with apricots and shellfish.' | 0:34:15 | 0:34:20 | |
I'm going to cook the rabbit stew slowly and then I'm going to add at the last minute mussels and clams. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:27 | |
-Are you? -Got a problem with that, Gregg? | 0:34:27 | 0:34:31 | |
Sort of a medieval surf and turf. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
Exactly. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
A rabbit, dried fruit and shellfish. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
A combination I've never tried before. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
I wonder very much whether anyone's ever tried it before. But who's going to argue with Janet? | 0:34:43 | 0:34:47 | |
Meat and fish together are absolutely fine. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
It's shellfish. As long as you cooked it separately and you've taken it out... | 0:34:50 | 0:34:55 | |
There's beef and oyster pie, for God's sake, I mean, you know? | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
'Ade is going to make the fig and quince tarte tatin. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:05 | |
'And he's starting with the caramel.' | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
The quantities are always tricky if you don't know what they are. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:13 | |
I vaguely remember caramel being half and half. I'm somewhere close to that. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:18 | |
See, it already looks like quite a lot, doesn't it? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
-You're trying to make what here? -I'm trying to make a caramel. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:33 | |
-A caramel? -Yeah. -Right, just melting sugar makes caramel. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
-Yeah. -Putting sugar and butter together... -Yeah. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
..all you're going to do is boil butter to make butterscotch. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
Ah, so that's butterscotch? | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
That will become butterscotch eventually. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:48 | |
-You want the smallest amount of butter and lots of sugar. -Right. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
-It's about ten to one. -Is it? | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
-What have you got there? -One to one. -50/50? -Yeah. -Brilliant! | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
Ade's had a disaster with his caramel. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
We've got almost a cross between fudge and butterscotch, but not quite. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
He's back to the drawing board but, you know, Ade's resilient, he'll be OK. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:14 | |
'Meanwhile, the other team is also hard at work. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:20 | |
'They've decided to make pheasant and ham pie with roast veg, | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
'baked pike with sliced bread, | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
'and mulled fruits with cream.' | 0:36:26 | 0:36:29 | |
Can I ask, is there a leader? | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
-Yes, Shane. -Shane, you're the leader. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
Well, yeah, look, we're all in it together, boss. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
But we have direction. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:41 | |
'Brian and Speech are working together on the pie.' | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
I'm doing two big pies. I'm lining it with the shortcrust and putting puff pastry on the top as the lid. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:56 | |
Hey, so Speech is doing the filling for the pie. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:59 | |
-Yeah. -You're making the pastry. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
And then the fish is going to be done when, after that's done? | 0:37:01 | 0:37:05 | |
-After that, yes. -OK. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
It always works a lot better if you put that in. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
-HE LAUGHS -Don't tell anyone. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
I hope after they've done their medieval fighting, this is exactly what they want to see. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:27 | |
'Shane is busy making the pudding.' | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
Hopefully it'll be nice and tasteful, try and warm the cockles of the boys out there, | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
-cos it's going to be cold. -And what are you going to serve with the fruit? | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
-Not entirely sure. -So you've got wine and a bit of fruit? | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
Well... | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
OK. Well, have a think about it. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
It's a nice environment in here, it feels quite relaxed | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
in that respect, there's no... I know we're going to be under pressure at some point, | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
but at the minute, it's quite nice, everyone's just getting on. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
It's lovely. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
'In the castle grounds, | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
'the houses of York and Lancaster are preparing to do battle | 0:38:13 | 0:38:18 | |
'to take control of the English throne. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
'Back in the tent, | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
'Janet is planning her own strategy for the rabbit stew.' | 0:38:23 | 0:38:27 | |
People tend to be a little bit squeamish about rabbit | 0:38:29 | 0:38:33 | |
and it's the most delicious meat and it tastes exactly like chicken. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
So I think the trick to get them to eat it is to present it so it looks like chicken stew. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:41 | |
'For Les, the challenge is still how long to cook his salmon for.' | 0:38:50 | 0:38:55 | |
They're so big, they're not cooked yet. Come and have a look. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
OK. It's nearly cooked. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
-Just have a quick prod inside, have a look inside it. -Yep. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:15 | |
Pull the skin apart and see if it's cooked. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
What do you think, Ade? | 0:39:20 | 0:39:21 | |
-I think it needs just a little bit more. -OK. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |
The fish is doing all right. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
Er, but I'm going very much on Janet and Ade's instinct with that. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:36 | |
'Ade is still battling with his caramel.' | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
Oh, yes, I almost know what I'm doing. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
'While it re-melts, he fills his tarts with the quince and figs.' | 0:39:48 | 0:39:54 | |
It didn't start off this ambitious in my head. I thought, "Oh, that's simple." | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
I'm going to pour the caramel on. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Then I'm going to put the pastry on top, | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
cook it for 20 minutes | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
and then try and turn them over. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-HE LAUGHS -What an idiot! | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
Right. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:15 | |
'Over in the other tent, Brian is beginning to roll his pastry for the pheasant pie.' | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
Does your pastry look like it might have worked? | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
Er, it's seems to be working at the moment. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
But you've still got a puff pastry to make for the top, is that right? | 0:40:40 | 0:40:44 | |
-Yes. -Have you even started making your puff pastry, mate? -Well, it's already made. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:48 | |
-So it just needs rolling out. -Fine. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
And how is the inside of our pie? | 0:40:50 | 0:40:54 | |
It's nearly there. It's looking very good. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
I think at the moment the kitchen is calm. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
Everybody's just got their head down and they're getting stuck into what they need to do. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:06 | |
There's no point in having a hectic kitchen. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:08 | |
If it's going to go wrong, it will. No point in screaming and shouting about it. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |
But Shane, your dessert is now done, is it? | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
Yeah, it's pretty much done, it's just sitting there. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:19 | |
When you say pretty much done, it was fruit in mulled wine and some thickened cream, | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
-so what's not done? -The cream. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
-Right. -Cos Brian there is going to look after the cream. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
He is in charge of getting that pastry together | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
cos we need to get it into the oven, so as soon as he's done there... | 0:41:31 | 0:41:34 | |
Well, you've got about an hour and a half. How long is that going to take to cook? | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
-What to cook? -The pie. -How long is the pie going to take to cook, Brian? | 0:41:38 | 0:41:42 | |
-About an hour, I would think. -So you've got to get it in quick. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |
-Yeah. -But your fish, as yet, no-one's even looked at. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:50 | |
Haven't even looked at it yet. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
THEY SHOUT | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
'Battle has commenced, and in just over an hour, | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
'these soldiers will be in need of a hearty lunch.' | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
I do like the organisation that's going on in the tent of Janet, Ade and Les. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:21 | |
But with just over an hour to go before lunch, I'm very concerned about Shane's tent. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
-How about the pies? -The pies? -Yeah. -We're just going to fill them. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:36 | |
It's either this or that. This has got to go in. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
-Mate, if your pie doesn't go in, you've got no pie. -I know. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:43 | |
-You've been working on the pie for two hours, it's still not in the oven. -No. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
-OK. We are doing that now. -Get the veg in and then get the pie in. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
-Why would you put lemon on something before it goes in the oven? -Oh, I don't know. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
-It tastes awful. -No, that's true. Right, erm... -BRIAN LAUGHS | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
-Just get those... -Don't panic, Brian, it'll be all right. Don't worry, don't panic. | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
'Finally, Speech makes a start on the pike main.' | 0:43:05 | 0:43:10 | |
-How long do you think this will take to bake in the oven, Shane? -15, 20 minutes. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
Just get it in, anyway. We'll check it as we're going. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
'While Brian and Shane frantically fill their pies.' | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
Doesn't get any more medieval than that. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:33 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:43:37 | 0:43:40 | |
Move it just half an inch this way. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:43 | |
-To you? -No, no. The actual pastry itself. | 0:43:43 | 0:43:47 | |
That's it! | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
-50 minutes. -Oh, that's good, cos my pie's a 45-minute pie. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:54 | |
Well, seeing as it's taking you two and a half hours so far... | 0:43:54 | 0:43:57 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
-Don't panic now. -Don't panic. Don't panic. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:06 | |
Right, good. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:07 | |
THEY SHOUT | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
SWORDS CLASH | 0:44:10 | 0:44:13 | |
'In Janet's tent, it's the moment of truth for Ade's tarte tatin. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:25 | |
'And Les's salmon.' | 0:44:28 | 0:44:31 | |
Come on, Les, take the gamble, get the fish on the trays, mate. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:34 | |
Janet. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:38 | |
'In the final minutes before service, Shane's team realise the real challenge of the pike.' | 0:44:50 | 0:44:56 | |
-This fish kind of stinks. -The fish tastes like nothing. | 0:44:56 | 0:45:00 | |
You may as well lick a stone. There's more flavour in a stone. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
Yeah, this is really looking bad. Look at the bones, it's... | 0:45:06 | 0:45:10 | |
Someone's going to die on this fish. | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
There's a medieval army waiting for their lunch! | 0:45:20 | 0:45:23 | |
I'll just get this... | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
The pie's looking fab. The pastry's looking really good on top there. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:01 | |
Two tea towels. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:17 | |
Next up, please. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:20 | |
'Janet, Ade and Les are offering rabbit stew with apricot, mussels and clams with bulgur wheat, | 0:46:54 | 0:47:01 | |
'or salmon stuffed with lovage, served with a gooseberry sauce. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
'Shane's team is offering pheasant and ham pie with roasted parsnips and carrots, | 0:47:07 | 0:47:12 | |
'or baked pike with sliced bread and pickled cabbage.' | 0:47:12 | 0:47:17 | |
-Pie, please. -Pie, good man. Pie and veg, so it is. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:27 | |
'The pheasant pie is an instant hit.' | 0:47:35 | 0:47:39 | |
Would you like some pie? Yeah? | 0:47:39 | 0:47:42 | |
It's really great, delicious food, | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
but for somebody of my social level, I don't think I would've been eating pheasant | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
as a medieval peasant, unfortunately. | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
If this isn't fit for a knight, I don't know what is. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
The pie is looking a little bit short. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:07 | |
-We are letting our pheasant and ham pie do its talking. -HE LAUGHS | 0:48:12 | 0:48:17 | |
Most of their effort went into that dish and it shows. | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
It's tasty, it's moist, lovely filling. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:26 | |
Decent pastry, good roast vegetables. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
That's a winner on a cold day. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
'But there are fewer takers for the old-fashioned pike.' | 0:48:31 | 0:48:36 | |
There's plenty of bones in it so just be careful. | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
-All right. Thank you. -You're welcome. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:40 | |
Do I have to eat this? Well... | 0:48:45 | 0:48:48 | |
I've got to say, that pike is one of the nastiest things I've eaten on MasterChef for a very long time. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:53 | |
It's dirty, it's muddy, it's not cooked very well, | 0:48:53 | 0:48:56 | |
it's dry and it's on a piece of bread with over-cooked and over-vinegared cabbage. | 0:48:56 | 0:49:01 | |
'Back with Janet's team, no-one's queuing for their food.' | 0:49:07 | 0:49:11 | |
They seem a lot more popular than us. Look at that. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:15 | |
-Oh, yeah. Theirs is going fast, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:19 | |
I have made a fantastic stew, but all these people are complete wusses. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:25 | |
All the women go, "Ooh, I don't want rabbit!" | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
But if they were truly medieval, they'd be eating it. It tastes fantastic! | 0:49:28 | 0:49:32 | |
If they want to eat that fish that looks all white and drab, | 0:49:34 | 0:49:39 | |
and a meat pie, good luck. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:42 | |
Go and rustle up some business, Ade. Go on. | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
Rabbit stew and salmon this way. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:48 | |
HE HUMS | 0:49:51 | 0:49:53 | |
Evening. Do you all know what you're queuing for? | 0:49:53 | 0:49:58 | |
Because this is only for half of the food, | 0:49:58 | 0:50:00 | |
So the salmon and the rabbit are on that side. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
So if you want that, I'd go round that way. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:05 | |
-I've seen the pie. It's not very pleasant. -LAUGHTER | 0:50:05 | 0:50:09 | |
-Wow, they was no persuading them. -LES LAUGHS | 0:50:11 | 0:50:15 | |
-Ooh, that salmon looks good! -Ooh, it tastes good! -Look at it! | 0:50:15 | 0:50:19 | |
-It tastes really good! -Yeah. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
And that rabbit... wow. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:23 | |
Tastes exactly like chicken. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:25 | |
We're calling it chicken stew now. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:30 | |
-I'll try some of your rabbit stew. -Thank you. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:33 | |
'At last, their tactics seem to be paying off.' | 0:50:38 | 0:50:41 | |
Hang on, I'll give you a bit more stew. | 0:50:42 | 0:50:45 | |
This is excellent. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:54 | |
The meat from the rabbit was extremely well done. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:01 | |
The juxtaposition of the sweet from the apricots | 0:51:01 | 0:51:04 | |
and also the shellfish, the mussels, it worked very well. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:09 | |
Top marks for that. The army will be able to march once again on its stomach. | 0:51:10 | 0:51:14 | |
That's brilliant. Thank you very much. | 0:51:16 | 0:51:18 | |
Well, I've got to say, rabbit, shellfish and apricots | 0:51:22 | 0:51:25 | |
is not a natural combination, I've got to say. | 0:51:25 | 0:51:28 | |
Mm! | 0:51:30 | 0:51:31 | |
I stand corrected. That is lovely! | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
It's refreshing, it's filling, it's delicious, it's vibrant. Very good, Janet. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:40 | |
If the soldiers didn't choose that, they've missed out on a treat there. | 0:51:40 | 0:51:44 | |
-Would you like some clams with your salmon? -Yeah, go for it. Thank you. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:49 | |
-'The salmon has also had a surge in popularity.' -Thank you. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:54 | |
-Hello. -Hello. How you doing? -Good, thanks. -Would you like the gooseberry sauce? -Of course. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:59 | |
-Good day on the battlefield, sir? -A lovely day on the battlefield. | 0:51:59 | 0:52:03 | |
-Did you die? -Several times. | 0:52:03 | 0:52:06 | |
It's very, very tender, very well cooked. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
It's definitely an authentic dish for the medieval period. They've done a good job. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:15 | |
Look at that fish. Cooked nicely. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
I think the salmon's delicious, I love the salted clams. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
I like a small amount of gooseberry, but it's really sharp, | 0:52:31 | 0:52:35 | |
that gooseberry is really, really sharp and almost overpowers the salmon. | 0:52:35 | 0:52:39 | |
Saying that, those big fish all poached away, good job, Les. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:43 | |
Looked a picture. I think eats as well as it looks. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:47 | |
'For dessert, Shane's team is offering fruits in mulled wine with almond vanilla cream.' | 0:52:49 | 0:52:55 | |
That is delicious! | 0:52:55 | 0:52:57 | |
Wow! That's a lovely taste, Shane! | 0:52:57 | 0:53:01 | |
'And Janet's team has made fig and quince tarte tatin with custard.' | 0:53:02 | 0:53:07 | |
Oh, great. That's really great, isn't it? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
Mulled fruit. Boil up a load of fruit. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
# Who will buy? # There you are, look at that! | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
It tasted really good, so I'm happy. I lapped it right up. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:46 | |
It's got a toffee bottom that's almost bitter, | 0:53:54 | 0:53:57 | |
it's got tons of vanilla running through it | 0:53:57 | 0:53:59 | |
and the deep, almost rum flavour of figs and dates. That is lovely! | 0:53:59 | 0:54:04 | |
'How will Shane's fruit fare?' | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
It's really, really good. In fact, I couldn't see any negatives for it. The cream's amazing. | 0:54:12 | 0:54:16 | |
A winter warmer, a little Christmas present in a bowl, | 0:54:22 | 0:54:26 | |
tasting of mulled wine and smelling of Christmas, rich cinnamon, | 0:54:26 | 0:54:29 | |
almonds flaked across the top, a lovely, lovely dessert. | 0:54:29 | 0:54:32 | |
-Yeah, you like it? I like it. -Yeah, that's good. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:34 | |
Have you seen how much is left? Hardly any. | 0:54:37 | 0:54:39 | |
We've had three people come back for seconds. Great. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
Quick, quick! If you want any, don't hang around. | 0:54:44 | 0:54:48 | |
-Fantastic. -Well done, you. -All right. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:00 | |
-Well done, us three. -Yes! | 0:55:00 | 0:55:03 | |
-I'm really proud of us. -Really pleased. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:05 | |
-Did all that without any arguments. -Yeah, we had no arguments. -None. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:10 | |
Great day, great challenge. We asked them to step it up, | 0:55:16 | 0:55:19 | |
and by and large, they did. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:21 | |
The food that came out of Janet's tent today was fantastic. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:25 | |
I was kind of inspired by the medieval brief. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
People with taste chose my dish. | 0:55:29 | 0:55:33 | |
People that wanted food that was just like school dinners chose the other lot. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:39 | |
We worked very calmly as a team, Ade, Janet and myself, | 0:55:40 | 0:55:44 | |
and I think we did a great job. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
I thought we put on a brilliant medieval meal. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:52 | |
I was very disappointed with the medieval jousting people | 0:55:52 | 0:55:54 | |
who didn't seem to have any appreciation of that at all. | 0:55:54 | 0:55:58 | |
So we didn't sell as much as we should've done, | 0:55:58 | 0:56:00 | |
and they went instead for the 20th century pub grub that the other team were doing. | 0:56:00 | 0:56:04 | |
Erm, what can you say? | 0:56:04 | 0:56:07 | |
Although Shane's team struggled a little bit, their dishes sold, John. | 0:56:09 | 0:56:13 | |
You can't deny that. It sold. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:16 | |
It was nice to know that we made a good effort, | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
especially with the pie itself. Not a lot of them opted for the fish, | 0:56:20 | 0:56:24 | |
so it balanced out quite well for us in the end. We got away with it, I think. | 0:56:24 | 0:56:29 | |
I actually feel really good about today. I think it was a really good team and we got it done. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:36 | |
I felt really thrilled and quite a sense of achievement. | 0:56:38 | 0:56:42 | |
Hey, we won the day. Well, I don't know if we won the day, but we feel like we won the day. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:47 | |
No-one's going home yet, but this competition is really hotting up. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:51 | |
And what comes up next - what an education that's going to be. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:55 | |
'Tomorrow night, the competition moves up another level.' | 0:57:02 | 0:57:07 | |
GONG BOOMS | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
-I've got another one with a hole in it, Brian! -I'm doing my best. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:14 | |
-Just move your tushy-tush. -We're trying not to panic. -Agh! | 0:57:14 | 0:57:18 | |
'The celebrities must battle to keep their place.' | 0:57:20 | 0:57:25 | |
One of you is leaving the competition. | 0:57:25 | 0:57:30 | |
