MasterChef The Professionals Uncovered – BBC Two

For the first time ever, this one-hour one-off special takes a humorous and very emotional behind-the-scenes look at the highs and lows of the past five series of MasterChef: The Professionals.  Judges Michel Roux Jr , Monica Galletti and Gregg Wallace uncover the secrets behind the series – the best and worst food , what it’s like to take part, what it’s like to be judged by them and how to impress.

As well as taking a look at the series form the judge’s perspective, this one hour delightful overview of the countries’ most gripping cooking competition also gets some extra insight from this year’s finalists Olli, Kerri and Anton.  They reveal just what it was like to survive this year’s four terrifying ‘M’s’: Monica, Michel, the MasterChef kitchen, and Marcus Waring –  along with the pressures of cooking exceptional food under the nation’s gaze.

Highlights also offered are a humorous look at some of the crazy food trends, and obsessions over the years as well as some of the most disastrous food ever seen on the series such as the now mythical Chocolate Quail Cake.

A treat for both MasterChef fans, foodies and those who just want a glimpse behind the scenes of this iconic BAFTA-Award winning series.
