Instead I'm going to ramble on about a programme that has become a complete addiction.

Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares.
Before I explain why I love it, I feel obliged to say that I can't normally abide Gordon Ramsay.  He's everything I despise about the TV food industry at the moment.  He's a personality, a celebrity, a character who is more important than the food he allegedly cooks.  When I'm in a restaurant I don't really care about the personality, arrogance and ego of the person who cooks my food, I am only interested in whether it tastes good, is served hot and comes in large enough portions.  Ramsay is the opposite of that, he's a media-constructed TV chef, famous only for his incredible rudeness and arrogance.  The food comes in second place when Ramsay is on screen.
