Is it me or is Michele English a spoilt brat? The way she spoke to that guy!!!
All she's done is paint a few bumblebees on a wall, choose some cultery and a couple of aprons. Tsk!

Best part of the whole show: finding out that "the boys" are now working at Le Manoir.

Dh and I ROARED.

Agree - she's a whiner, neon

I love "The Restaurant" and was so pleased to see that Russell and Michelle are actually making a go of it.

I believe that Jermey and Jane, the winners of the first series, gave up after about 6 months.

I have also read that there will be a new series - apparently it was being filmed over the summer in the Bristol area I think so hopefully it will be on soon.

The thing I like about this is that you feel that the people who enter genuinely want the prize - they are not just doing this to be on the tele like many of the people in The Apprentice. Oh and of course I love to listen to Raymond's accent and wait for another of his howlers where it sounds like he has said something very rude and everyone looks stunned!

My favourites last series were james and Alistair and I read on another forum that there is a plan for a spin-off series called "Plate Expectations" which is supposed to be following them as they set up a catering business. Not sure how that sits with their current employment at Le manoir
