Agree wholeheartedly. Good Food Live and Jenny Barnett are sorely missed. The new programme is pretentious and very boring.

Angry I can see there are enough comments about the new programme that has replaced Jennie but having finally managed to watch a whole New Market I feel as many people as possible should make their feelings known and get rid of this totally boring programme. It is such a waste of money, the people on it are dull, there's no character to the whole programme. Jennie and all the guests on the other show had a zest for what they were doing, they kept your interest and showed you that everyone could cook the recipes they were doing, passed on knowledge in a way that everyone could grasp.
I could go on ad infinitum but bring back what was a plain as the noses on the progammers faces!! a good entertaining food show that everyone could be a part of NOT this pretentious garbage.

I am very disgusted that GOOD FOOD LIVE has ended, Jennie is a fantastic women who brightened up my day, she was so full of life and so were the chefs that where on the programme, The New Market is very boring and the presenters have no life in them they just plod along in their work they don't show any feelings in what they do, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK JENNIE.
p.s why did you end GOOD FOOD LIVE?, beacuse you have alot to answer for.

Angry Since the removal of Jennie Barnett and Great Food Live, I do not feel an attraction to watch UKTV food, the programme which they have replaced it with is boring and has no appealing aspects to make you watch it, I used to love the innuendo and banter, that Jennie had with the chef’s keeping them all in there places. Market kitchen just seems to be a programme for all the self opinionated chefs to blow there trumpets and soon the whole channel will just be one chef ego waiting to explode!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE COME BACK JENNIE AND QWELL THE CHEF EGO

I have pretty much stopped watching UK Food. Most of the other shows are repeats and without GFL and Jenny there is no real news or enthusiasm about food and related subjects. I have tried but I cannot take a fulll hour of Market Kitchen it is dull, dull dull Frown

I've simply given up on watching UKTV Food at lunchtimes (which, previously, I always did) because of the embarrassing level of Market Kitchen. The worst is Parker-Bowles who is so inept that it is cringe-worthy, but Tana Ramsay isn't far behind - what made you believe that being the wife of a top (celebrity) chef is a qualification to be a presenter? Matthew Fort is excellent as a critic, but not presenting or, God help us, cooking! I can hear your execs saying 'Give it time, it will settle down and the public will take to it'. Well, it won't, and we won't. Jenni Barnett was a star and utterly professional, and if you can't / won't get her back then please try to at least find some presenters with some personality. If you fail to make the changes I suspect that in a few months time you'll simply be out of business.

I did enjoy Jeni and Good Food Live but I must admit I quite enjoy Market Kitchen. Some of it is boring so I now video the programme and fast forward over the boring bits. What I do like is that the recipes cooked by Matthew, Tom and Tana tend to be geared to the amature chefs among us and are simpler then the ones cooked by the professional chefs.

Do you know what I can't understand. There are so many adverse comments about Market Kitchen and only positive comments about Jenni and Good Food that I cannot believe UKTV have not taken notice. Is viewing figures available for comparison purposes. I always watched the 10pm Good Food and am now never tuned in. Can UKTV please address all the comments made by everyone.

I get the impression that UKTV just don't listen to"anyone" I e-mailed a complaint about their COTY competition which i was doing with my 11yr old daughter and the question was...."Whats my name?"....the first two were male names starting with the letter "D", the third?...Dildo. Still no reply from UKTV. So i dont think anyone asking about Jenny Barnett will be getting an answer any time soon LOL Bring her back i say. Develish

I'm afraid that the changes and the lack of responsiveness from UKTV Food smacks of a station in deep trouble. Losing so many presenters / guests suggests budget cuts...or worse? I wonder when our screens will go blank? (Although now that would hardly be a loss!).

Please bring back Jennie Barnett, sadly market kitchen cannot hold a candle to her & her lively & interesting Good Food Live show.Market Kitchen is boring & elitest, not for us normal mortals.

Yes we agree absolutely. Market Garden does not hold a candle to the Good Food Live Show. It must be boring as some of the people in the studio/cafe aren’t even watching it and talking amongst themselves. Some recommendation! It’s boring and pretentious!! Bring back Jenni, all is forgiven.

Well done Val, if we keep it up she may be asked to return. We do watch UKFood but only as there is so much other rubbish on these days choice is restricted.

PLEASE axe this dreadful Market Kitchen drivel and reinstate Great Food Live with Jeni Barnett.

Market Kitchen is sheer rubbish. A terrible and unprofessional production.

I so wish we could bring back the wonderful show Great Food Live with Jeni Barnett. It was such a joy to watch and really revolutionary television as it was the only live daily food programme anywhere. It was such a blunder to cancel this wonderful show.
