There was a criticism section added by an anon. I have removed it and put the text here, as I can't find one reference:
The show has been criticised for its tediously lengthy structure and also for constructing a non-event (the meeting at the Gherkin) in order to justify its existence. Others have accused the show of "playing to conservative British values" and, concerning the introduction of rules that allow ingredients from around the world to be utilised, "only just embracing Britain's multi-cultural society having aggressively ignored its existence in the past" (Hedgewick, 2008). The show suffered a further setback when allegations emerged that Jenny Bond had, at a private dinner, asserted "we chuck a few 'pakis' in to keep the lefties sweet", when addressing the inclusion of certain talented chefs with non-British backgrounds.

"Children's literature", but why? In earlier episodes we were told it was "about 200 years since Oliver Twist was written". It isn't, and how does "about" mark a significant anniversary? On 12 May, we were told it's "150 years of children's literature"(!). What literature exactly? Though they didn't say, it seems it's 150 years since Charles Dickens died - not the same at all. So, is there a genuine reason for the theme or is it just that the BBC ran out of ideas and anniversaries and made one up? Emeraude (talk) 20:17, 12 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
