Britain’s Best Home Cook

After the first two seasons, we will immediately continue with a special celebrity series from Britain’s Best Home Cooka kind of cross between Master Chef and The Great British Bake Off. The knives are sharpened when the ten celebrities are given the first assignment from Mary Berry, Angela Hartnett and Chris Bavin: bake, boil, roast or fry your ideal dish. Who falls through the basket and can prepare for Angela’s dreaded elimination assignment.

Housewives Don’t Exist

Veronica Superguide Score: ★★★★

How do other women manage to ensure that their work and private lives are perfectly balanced? For career woman Gijsje (Eva van de Wijdeven) getting pregnant is an obsession; older sister Marjolein (Jelka van Houten) has just been fired and is getting used to her new life as a schoolyard mother. The fancy of Housewives don’t exist could have easily derailed or got bogged down. But the makers have managed to turn it into a smooth, contemporary comedy with many sharp one-liners and a strong cast – Loes Luca as a bohemian mother is golden. Plus points for producer Rick Engelkes, who returns just as self-deprecatingly in his iconic role of GTST– Doctor Simon.
