Second super blurry photo of the week! This one is the TV set of the new Channel 4 show Food Fight, which we went to the studio audience for this week. Last time I did this, I vowed never to go again. As entry is not guaranteed, you queue for two hours in the cold before finally being let into the studio. Last time we saw the 'comedy' show Argumental, which really wasn't very funny, but when the offer of seeing a food show came along, I found myself tempted once more.
The wait was awful, no doubt. Luckily, the show was quite good. It was hosted by Sue Perkins (we saw her with Giles Coren in a show where they ate the food from the Second World war) and she was absolutely hilarious, really made it. Team captains were Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (looks exactly the same as on TV) and Ruth Jones (apparently she opened the first UK gastropub) and guests were Neil Morissey and Fay Ripley (from Cold Feet).
The show is basically showing off their foodie knowledge and was reasonably interesting, but not earth-shattering. I'm not sure how it will present on TV, but Sue Perkins is probably good enough to carry it.
