In the latter stages of each series of MasterChef the producers try very hard to find someone scary for the contestants to cook for. Last year it was an officer's mess. Last week it was some bigwigs from the Women's Institute. This evening it is an Indian royal family.
These supposedly scary diners seldom turn out to be fierce. Their comments usually amount to no more than "it was very tasty".
But isn't there something rather distasteful about this search for "important" customers? Something class based?
A good chef - a MasterChef - does his best whoever the customer is.

They've had them cook in factories and for likd before now. They took them somewhere to feed the Army last year. It's all a bit opulent this year but they have done a good range before. The common features are John & Gregg strutting about looking disapproving & generally being harbingers of doom.
If the producers of Masterchef want their contestants to cook for an unpleasant gastronome, why not just use Michael Winner and have done with it?
