Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

Why you love it: It's Super Gordon to the rescue! Flailing restaurants are injected with a bit of common sense and results are bountiful. All that's missing is his cape.

Best bits: The pointless, futile resistance to implementing Gordon's advice, then the moment of realisation that he does actually know what he's talking about.

Least likely to say: 'But you're doing so well on your own, I'm not sure there's much I can help with...'

Most likely to say: 'This isn't my kitchen, it's yours, but if I were you, I'd take my advice.'

They say: 'The thrill of watching Ramsay is witnessing someone so at peace with their own arrogance.'

Watched by: Anyone who likes their reality TV to have a purpose.
