Master Chef (UK TV Series)
MasterChef is a BBC television competitive cooking show. It initially ran from 1990 to 2001 and was later revived in a different format known as MasterChef Goes Large from 2005 onwards. In 2008, the "Goes Large" part of the name was dropped, but the format remains identical. The revamped format was devised by Franc Roddam and John Silver with Karen Ross producing.
The series now appears in three versions: the main MasterChef series, MasterChef: The Professionals for working chefs, and Celebrity MasterChef. All three versions have been commissioned up to and including 2011. A further version, Junior MasterChef, for 10-to-12-year-olds, was also broadcast in May 2010.
Series 6 of Celebrity MasterChef began 12 September 2011 and finished on 22 October 2011, airing in a new daily daytime slot on BBC One at 2.15 pm. Catch-up shows were aired on Fridays at 20:30 (30 minutes long) and early evenings on Saturdays (60 minutes long) during the series. The winner was announced on the final Saturday catch-up show. Series 7 began 13 August 2012 on BBC Two, in a new regular slot at 6.30 pm for six weeks.
Series 4 of MasterChef: The Professionals began 7 November 2011 on BBC Two and ended on 15 December 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or chef:
“[Women’s] apparent endorsement of male supremacy is ... a pathetic striving for self- respect, self-justification, and self-pardon. After fifteen hundred years of subjection to men, Western woman finds it almost unbearable to face the fact that she has been hoodwinked and enslaved by her inferiors—that the master is lesser than the slave.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
“The trick, which requires the combined skills of a tightrope walker and a cordon bleu chef frying a plain egg, is to take your [preteen] daughter seriously without taking everything she says and does every minute seriously.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
