Review of Chef!

Well done until 3rd service

I have enjoyed watching the repeats of this series on Gold, this programme is based on an idea by Lenny Henry but is largely written by comic genius, Peter Tilbury. The first two series are excellent and still stand up by today's comedic standards. The scripts are witty and original, and Lenny Henry reins in his usual overacting to good effect. However by series three Peter Tilbury has gone, and this is very noticeable in the poor script and storylines, the overexaggerated acting with the addition of an annoying American, and stock pantomime characters. The series was not recommissioned and it's easy to understand why.

First two series 10/10 Series 3 2/10
