Is there nothing that Channel 4 won't push upon us, with Gok Wan at the helm? It seems we're now set for the Go Wank treatment on Chinese cooking. I am mightily annoyed, first that this new show has been commissioned, and second, that having been commissioned, it's not called
Gok's Wok. Surely there cannot be a better name? The only positive news about this further assault by Ga Know is that it's only 30 minutes per episode, which will reduce the opportunity for recap after recap, and too much looking ahead as well.
Meanwhile, during the rest of the week, there are numerous other cookery shows (as ever) and we have
Instant Restaurant on BBC2, and on Channel 5 we have both
Mexican Food Made Simple and
Chinese Food In Minutes. These are aside from the usual suspects [Saturday Kitchen Live, Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA, The Hungry Sailors, Hairy Bikers' Best of British, Great British Menu, Come Dine With Me, River Cottage Bites]
Over done or what?
