- In 1990, MasterChef would make its debut on British television. A TV cooking show pitting the country's best amateur cooks against each other, it continues to this day and remains one of the world's most popular shows. Let's take a look at the story of the origin, development and continuing story of MasterChef in the UK.
MasterChef was created in 1990 by director Franc Roddam in an attempt to elevate the perception of UK food and cooking by focusing on finding the best British amateur cooks. Loyd Grossman presented the show in the 90s, followed by a brief stint where Gary Rhodes fronted the show. John Torode and Gregg Wallace took over the job in 2005 and are still the hosts of the main show. On 1st April 2024 the new series of MasterChef UK will premiere on BBC One.

I don't think America's PBS networks ever picked up Masterchef from the '90s, so I wouldn't have had a chance to watch it. I came here via that bizarre comedy sketch and then HAD to watch some of the archived episodes here on YT. Once I did that, the surreal portrayal of Grossman made a lot more sense; he really was a (likable) snob and made dining feel like something you could do only after you studied French fine cuisine.
I've never found a definitive answer if OG MasterChef made it to the US; I've never heard anyone outside the UK mention it. Lloyd Grossman was always ripe for parody and Reeves & Mortimer's is the definitive.
It’s been a long time but I remember sitting there watching Loyd… great show back then. I feel it kinda lost its way though over the years.
It had to move with the times. It felt slow then, now watching a whole episode is really langurous. I quite like the shape the show is in now.
@@BigSpud each to our own 👍
I actually auditioned for series 2 of the revamped version. I think I blew it when I criticised John and Gregg’s presenting ability!
That's hilarious! Did you make it to the programme? It's on the cutting room floor but I did audition once (obviously I didn't get on to TV ).
😂😂😂
Absolutely loved this exclusive documentary Gaz! I’ve never watched it, not sure why, as it’s quite good. You’re so right, British cuisine has a bad name. Superb to see the history of this show. Can really see your passion come through with this. I know a quarter finalist who would love this @thuycooks I actually have some of Tim Anderson’s books on Japanese food and cover them on my channel. Just love the mixture of culture and cuisines. Excellent video Gaz, keep up the great work. Liked 👍🏼 HHH
There was a part I considered scripting where I've been lucky enough to work with quite a few Masterchef contestants. I think Billy & Jack were the nicest.
I didn't even know there was a pre-reality TV version! 😮
When I hear that overblown classical muzak it hurls me back to Sunday afternoons. The modern version is much better TV.
Yeah, it was a lot calmer back then.
Great documentary!!
Thanks! It's taking a while to find an audience, please share with people you think might enjoy.
Oh wow, I didn't realize it wasn't always like it is today. I also had to laugh out loud at the sentence, "Who would want to watch people eat."...😆
It's so difficult to imagine, but I can remember DJ Terry Wogan mocking how many shots you used to see of Gregg Wallace shovelling food into his mouth. It's commonplace now but it was odd at one point.
One of the reasons I loved the original masterchef was the music that was used. Hated the 2001 revamp. Can’t get away with current version although I did enjoy the Australian version
It's one of those themes that transports me back to Sunday afternoons.
Bravo, Gary! 👏 Your documentaries are some of my favorite of your videos to watch. They're interesting and so professionally done.
Thank you, that's very kind! All I can see loads of little glitches I would fix if I had more time.
I keep trying to find who did the MasterChef 2 early music to cooking...they got chops hehe got me into this show...now more generic but still love it! Great duo lol
Which year do you mean? I've done so much research for this, maybe I have it somewhere.
i wonder if marco pierre white, pierre koffman, etc. were ever on the uk version. i am also looking for any episodes with jocky petrie, ideally in the professionals series. once online i did see i think one of the finnish cooking shows, that jocky was featured in, i think they did a rabbit wellingtion, unfortunately i have not been able to find that video again, it was a whole episode of the show.
i really only watch the professionals series, i as well was able to track down all the australia episodes which marco pierre white was in and watch those
Fairly sure MPW never did MC UK. He was contracted to ITV in the early years. Jocky was in several MC amateur, sure he did a dessert masterclass and has been on lots of those "cook for a room full of scary chefs" challenges. In the past few months the MasterChef UK RUclips channel is getting on for putting everything up so you might have your wish. I also used the MasterChef wiki a bit though it's not very comprehensive.
Agakn with Koffmann he's definitely been in the banquet hall, and as I mention in the video he's in the first series of MasterChef in 1990.
@@BigSpud ah cheers, you mentioned koffmann then, i had not watched your video yet, sorry. yes, that is how i was watching the professionals episodes, i avoid the other ones, unless of course i can find out if jocky or someone or something like that is featured. it was good to see albert roux in one of the professionals episodes, i think a finale episode which was won by a contestant named ash. and yes, thankfully the australian one seems to have a better documentation or a documentation that is easily accessible.
