Mark Nicholas presents Britain’s Best Dish

< 1 minute read

Did you know about this? Why did no-one tell us?

Here’s what the Britain’s Best Dish site says:

“After a hugely successful transition to cuisine, Mark has returned to present the second series of Britain’s Best Dish.”

We suppose that if you make a hugely successful transition into something, you’re left with no choice.

So what exactly happens on the show?

Well, some people make some food and then some judges say which food’s best. To better ratchet up the tension, Nicholas announces the results over a slow, muffled beat and then a cheap Casio keyboard plays a short ‘ta-daaaa’ fanfare to honour the victor. The Wire it ain’t.

Also, Nicholas dresses like a snooker player throughout. The exact reason for this is unclear.

One of the judges is Jilly ‘damn it woman, just tell me if it’s nice or not’ Goolden. Apparently, her interests include gardening, animals, wildlife, horses, ghosts and palmistry, which we thought was worth sharing, even though it’s wholly unrelated to cricket.

The title for this post could easily have been: ‘Mark Nicholas – Britain’s Best Dish’.

You’ll notice that it isn’t that.
