Andi Peters - the man who killed Top of the Pops and someone who hasn't been on TV in years.
Joe McGann - from Tv's the Upper Hand (which finished in 1996)
Claire Grogan - darling of the Scottish media because they were all impressionable teenagers when she was lead singer in Altered Images.
Hwyel Simons - from "The Bill" and apparently a much loved actor.
Ninia Benjamin - who?
Steven Pinder - Max from Brookside, used to run the shop in the original Crossroads and the dog killer in that advert for Harp lager.
.....and that was just episode 1. The bottom of the barrel has been well and truly reached.
I was hoping that Max (I kept thinking of him as Max) would win but he was beaten by the Welsh bloke who was in the Bill (about 10 years ago).
Still from the previews for tonight it looks like Mick from Brookside is on, hoping it will be Jimmy Corkhill next.

Oooh I loved Hwyel in a slightly inappropriate way. Although they were really pushing it with "much-loved star of The Bill and (onesketchinoneepisodeof) Little Britain". I was surprised he went forward instead of Max as well, although I was too busy being amused that they were pretending Ninia (who fucked everything up and served raw fish) still had a chance to really get too shocked over it.
Andi Peters is such a nob. Crying because you got through the first round of Celebrity Masterchief? Jeez.

Quincy MD - Ninia Benjamin was one of 3 Non Blondes, and is therefore comedy royalty in my eyes (Jocelyn Jee Esien, however, has been demoted back to pauper status after the second series of Little Miss Jocelyn).
And if bloody Andi Peters can shed a tear for getting through the first round of Masterchef, he'd better have cried a fucking ocean for single-handedly murdering music television. How he can even bring himself to show his face on telly again is a mystery.

But! The South African woman was genius. 'Loveless! Madame wants a latte.' I had absolutely no idea who the 2 blokes with Ninia were. And all of the food looked kind of gross. I know they're on a time limit, but how many times can you make bruschetta? |

I was more underwhelmed by the repeated foul-looking risottos/"risottos". It's like when seemingly everyone in the main series decided that everything needed to have figs in.

Kaye Adams! It's so great to see her on TV again.
I'd seen the pictures already, but was still quite shocked by Claire's 'fuller figure'. Sorry, I meant, new mum!Claire.
And what's wrong with that guy from Brookside's skin?

Poor Vicki Michelle. Never do a chocolate fondant on Masterchef. Never.
I give India Doo-Dad credit for not sniggering every time the voice-over script caused her to mention Claire's "love for food".

Oh I loved her chocolate fondant cos it was the kind of rubbish that I'd make, mind you even putting parsley on his pudding couldn't stop Mick from getting through.
....and what shows is Spencer from Eastenders presenting?
....and Vicki Michelle is legendary is she?

So last night we had Linda Robson v Him from Brookie that died when the Swimming Pool exploded v Denise Lewis.
Brookie man won and started blubbing like Andi Peters.
Then we had - Mike Beurk v Julia Bradbury (who could quite clearly not cook for toffee but still managed to get more praise than the famine man) v the one no one remembers from Atomic Kitten who has never used an oven in her life but who still won.

I thought Liz did amazing considering her complete lack of oven-experience, but she is so dead in the next round when she has to face people who can actually cook. And Julia Bradbury is clearly an utter nob - she had the most hateful "excuse me"s I've ever heard.
Poor Denise and her raw potatoes. Not that she would have won against a man who Cried! With Passion! For Cooking!

Have the whole former cast of Brookie signed up for this then?

I don't imagine they've got much else to do. Anna Friel aside.

It makes a change from them appearing in every other theatre production round here (Jimmy Corkhill did Talking Heads last year! Just the male parts, obviously; he didn't drag up for A Cream Cracker Under The Sofa. Not onstage anyway). Presumably they're paving the way for Sinbad/Jerry Morton's appearance next year.

I think I'm in love with Josie D'Arby. Yea don't get me wrong Josie's great. But was anyone a bit surprised when she won over Frankie from Corrie? I mean, come ON, she made a perfect chocolate fondant! When was that last done on masterchef!? Surely that should have been a win by default. |

Frankie from Corrie came good breaking the curse of the chocolate fondant, but I don't know how much more I could comfortably stand of her serving up food to Gregg and John with the same demeanour as Little Mo used to serve food up to Trevor.
I was appreciating the Friday Show reunion though. Whilst slightly expecting Frankie to break into her shit Cilla Black impression.

To be honest I was more worried about the chef at the National Gallery who died, in a motorcycle accident, rather than the third rate celebs and Spoony.
Still it was good to see that no matter what Andrew Castle turns his hand to he's still rubbish.

It's the weekly quarter final between him off Brookside/Holby, Liz McClarnon, Wendi Peters and Josie D'Arby tonight. Two of the four will go through to next week and be up against Andi Peters and him also off of Brookside in the Final Four.

Is Andi Peters not a LowCulture hero?
I think he is rather lovely, and was hoping that his complex comfort food roast was a winner. Torode and that other cunt though, sheez they annoy me, smug, fat pompous bastards.
