## Key points

- A documentary revisits three chefs who reshaped British food culture.
- Supermarket products and Henry Nowak’s family feature in other programmes.
- Big Brother’s live final follows a series marked by complaints.

## Summary

A BBC Two documentary charts how Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal helped transform British food culture. Their rise from the UK’s culinary scene in the 1980s brought a new energy to cooking, though the three-part series still uses some familiar period-style presentation.

The programme is part of a wider evening TV guide. Other picks include a Channel 4 series about how supermarket products are developed, a film about Henry Nowak’s family, and the live final of Big Brother, which has faced complaints over a contestant’s behaviour. The guide also highlights the finals of Taskmaster and a sitcom, plus Europa League matches.
