Regal R 03/01/2023 90/100 - If you can stand the heat of Gordon Ramsey's trademark intensity, go buy a bubble to live in and some tissues to cry into when you get a papercut. He's a great entertainer and the critics who complain about his voracity are animals with an underdeveloped frontal lobe. Dont be like them. Enjoy this fine entertainment. Joe and Graham are a fantastic addition to the show and the trio have beautiful synergy. They have good banter and this show is worth its weight in gold. See more Read all reviews
