Uh oh. I think somebody has been away from our televisions for too long so he has "cooked" up (excuse the punt) a new series, supposedly on food. I won't belabour the point whether women can or can't cook. But why on earth do I need to hear about Martine McCutcheon's views on whether she does journalists or not? I can't decide whether Gordon just brought her onto the programme because he fancies her (there was a bit of innuendo going on) or, to expose her imbecility to the world. She certainly made sure that, if we didn't suspect it already, we now all know she really only has one braincell. And do I really think that kebabs are made the way we were shown? Come on!! If you want to know how kebabs are made, watch "A life of grime" and not this staged farce. Is Gordon trying to do a Jamie? Now, while trying to save the health of the nation (mmm, with foie gras?) he's even dragging his family into his obsession with seeing his face on the telly. I cannot wait for the episode when little Tilly Pie goes out to feed Anthony in the morning and finds out that Anthony's for dinner that day. All in all, a pointless programme that serves no purpose.
You are a prat, people can ususally tell if they like a programme in the first 10 minutes or so.. you must have enjoyed it because you sat through the whole hour. Can't get enough of Gordon , he's a fantastic chef , at least he's not up his own arse. Wow he's a family man! Great to see considering all the celebrity marriages that fail. Stop being so miserable ,there are worse things in life to moan about!!
A good show I can't wait to see his kids faces when the Turkeys get it at Christmas. It' about time that the majority of the population of this contry woke up to the reality that meat comes from animals that need to be well looked after and dosn't naturaly come rapped in plastic
I think I might have to agree with you. I finished watching and looked at my husband (who's more or less nodding off already) and said that I'm not sure if I like this new show of Gordon....it has no concept at all.
I too also thought that it's just another show cooked up by 4 capitalising on Gordon's popularity and Gordon agreeing to do it simply to feed his own ego!
I pity his neighbours who will have a hell of a time with those turkeys once they start screeching! I hope he got a license/permit to rear those turkeys in a residential area.
Calm down, I was reading something else while this drivel was running in the background. You are a victim of the mass manipulation that the media is these days. A family man? If you had a family would you drag your four year old in front of a million viewers? Granted, he is a fantastic chef, but so is my Italian father in law and he doesn't need to take his shirt of on the telly.
You are right watching Gordon is boring its all the same old same old and he is acting for the camera, where as Jamie Oliver is natural. Family man? When is he at home?
Well I enjoyed it, it showed a softer side of him. I liked how he made cooking the lamb dish look so easy and quick that I might even have a bash at it. I cant believe that the other guys B&B pudding was chosen over Gordons, it looked scrummy.
i think gordons just fab its good to see that hes just the same at home as well what you see is what you get he's certainly got something about him ! brill show i'll be glued!
rubbish darcy! jamie oliver is fine and don't get me wrong he's great, but natural? who, nowadays drives his antique VW down to italy, complete with his own kitchen trailer, meet up with old friends that he has never met before and then knock up a special feast - i really like his show but i think you're being pretty naive if you think that jamies life is completely spontaneus and natural. i think they might have had one or two researchers on the show. Ramsay at least talks like a real chef (if you have worked in a kitchen before you'll know). love it. Bring on the domestic bliss being shattered when the turkeys get it!!

I am not being naive, i prefer Jamies approach to food, he is more fun and to be honest easier to watch on the tele. If you think Ramsey is being real you haven't met him!!

AMEN to ALL OF THAT!
'The F Word'?: what a crock of sh*t! Clearly Ramsay's nose has been put out of joint in the wake of Jamie's near-canonisation over the last year & a half.
'Meet the Ramsay family'? Nah. Not necessary. Not interested. Sorry.
Martine McCrutcheon? Was that really the best they could do; and is she supposed to have been some kind of celebrity coup?!?!!! He'd have been better off with Edwina Currie.
And then there's Al Murray....dear oh dear...
You've got the 'comedian' who thinks he's a cook, and the cook who thinks he's a ...
He only suceeded in conveying himself as a clown!
The show was an hour - oh, alright, at least half-an-hour too long, and was beyond dreary
If that drudgery is what escaped the editor's cutting room floor, Ramsay's gonna need more than a miracle to stop the series being smited in it's prime.
I can only agree with Sachsen opinion, this F word is the most boring Gordon Ramsay TV prog. ever. I have noticed that many justify it by saying that he is one of the most creative and outstanding chefs in Britain and I totally agree with that, being a chef myself I realize that what Gordon has achieved is incredible. And I am a big fan of him, especially after having enjoyed his magnetism on TV ( I have even loved the story of his life on CH.5)but I'm sorry this latest programme is just pointless, boring and doesn't do justice to Gordon's skills and/or potential. Just a quick reply to the one that said that The Fword is better that a great informative programme such as Full on Food, I think you are a bit confused about what a food programme shoud be...swap to soaps!!!!!!!
Yes, it was a waste of time. I only watched the episode (or part thereof before switching off) "featuring" Joan Collins. She is not only past her sell by date but also her use by date (unless you are into necrophilia) and if the make up had been any heavier it would have shattered when she smiled, chipping the crockery and damaging the table. Until now I did not believe in zombies, but now.....
