Anyone watching this, its about Marco Pierre White primarily but also about how chefs became like rock stars

Heston Blumenthal is on it, looks dreadfully ill and Marco Pierre White looks shocking, real shame how ill they both look.

MPW is a huge narcissist.
He behaves abominably and when someone stands up to him he focuses only on their actions, which were caused by him, with zero reflection.

I presume he is a lonely old man because nobody could cope with anything more than very limited contact with his toxic behaviour. He must have to pay well for any human to tolerate him.

I never thought I would feel sorry for or like GR but after watching this I have changed my mind.

HB seems a very delicate and vulnerable man now. I hope he has happiness in his life.

Im also fascinated in how MPW seems to view HB very kindly or likes him at least. Why is that? He doesnt seem to like anyone else

Apparently MPW is extremely close and supportive of his kids and they value him hugely. Dont know the truth of that. Read it online!

Is that dandruff on MPWs top?

I've not really had a view on HB previously but the way he describes the food and the science behind it is bloody genius.

His speech is as if he's had a stroke. Poor HB.

I can't decipher if its specks in the wool of his cardigan or dandruff!

He does look a mess. Isn't he a millionaire? He could invest in cleaning himself up a bit, a hair cut and nice clothes.

I really enjoyed the three episodes.

I like Gordon more than I did previously. He came across as warm and caring.

Heston is an absolutely lovely man who has been through so much. His down to earth nature really shine through, and despite success and riches, he is humble. A very real talent.

Marco came across as an absolute twat with a huge ego. What an insufferable twat. I noticed he didn't thank the wait staff for his food when the others did. He lacks manners.

He’s on heavy duty meds for his mental health illness. He was sectioned a year or so ago - Bi-polar disorder. His staff seem very fond of him as does MPW.
