Here is how people responded to the programme on social media:

I like that the Raby Hunt dudes wear blacks instead of whites. Looks a bit cooler and smarter... #masterchefuk

And finally, proof you can't please everyone...
Really? What a load of tosh. A few bits of green and a ju, How anyone, other than pretentious pratts, can think this is 'cooking to a high level' is beyond me. Guess I shan't be booking any day soon.
