No, not Bodie and Doyle, but real professional chefs.
Good series. I particularly enjoy the way it avoids all reality telly histrionics. If people win, they lower their eyes and smile, often with tears of relief in their eyes. If they lose, off they walk, more often than not with tears in their eyes. What they DON'T do, reality telly stylee, is jump up and down screaming like they do on The Apprentice.
The great thing about Masterchef: The Professionals is that it's heads down, no-nonsense cheffing. Totally not dumbed down - which in this era you would expect.
Star of the show isn't Gregg Wallace, or Michel Roux, Jr - or any of the contestants. It's Monica Galetti, Roux's sous-chef - a slightly over-serious woman who pulls hilarious faces when the contestants have made a mistake.
