Celebrity Best Home Cook Series 1 A British cooking contest that aired in January and February of 2021. There were 8 episodes with various cooking challenges and eliminations. I saw some of them last year but did not catch the last couple of episodes until recently.
After The Great British Bake Off moved to Channel 4, Mary Berry chose not to go and the BBC gave her another cooking show. It was called Britain's Best Home Cooks for the first series and Best Home Cooks for the second series. I watched a bit of the first series on YouTube but didn't find it that interesting and didn't continue to watch. So far there have only been the 2 series of the show and there haven't been anymore, other than the celebrity version. I have not heard if they are going to do any more of either version.
The Celebrity version was of more interest because I like some of the people involved. Claudia Winkleman is the host and Mary Berry, Angela Hartnett and Chris Bevin are the judges. The contestants are Ed Balls, Desiree Burch, Ed Byrne, Shobna Gulati, Rachel Johnson, Ruth Madeley, Ferne McCann, Tom Read Wilson, Gareth Thomas and Karim Zeroual. Good value entertainment wise in some of those folks.
There's a lot more joking around in this version than the regular version. I laughed a fair bit. There are some good cooks here. I might not eat some of their food but I enjoyed watching them get it cooked and on the plate. I wouldn't necessarily need to watch these again but I was entertained enough to get to the end.
