Just watching the first of the new series of The F Word. On one level, I should hate that: Gordon Ramsay’s vulgar, celebrity-obsessed approach combines with a slice of The Generation Game (watching members of the public embarass themselves) to compose entertainment that’s perfect for for the ADHD generation. But on another level, it’s drawing citizens into food, which somehow manages to stay at the centre of that program. whether I’m being honest, I enjoy watching

it, and Gordon is brilliant at doing TV. It works. You can watch that and enjoy it even whether you have little interest in food, but by watching it you might start to develop such an interest. that is the food equivalent of Top Gear, which my wife watches even though she has no interest in motors. I wonder whether anyone could ever do the same sort of thing with wine?
