Series 17: 2. Central Main and Dessert Courses



The three chefs are halfway through their heat, and the pressure is mounting. Once again, they each serve a unique take on the brief celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting. For mains, one chef is taking inspiration from Fawlty Tower’s famous Waldorf Salad episode. Another is paying homage to the world's longest-running soap opera, The Archers, and there is even a moon landing-themed dish. But whose landmark programme or event in the kitchen will this week's veteran judge prefer?\n\nOnly two will proceed to cook for the judges and have a chance to represent Central at the regional finals.
