You only ever buy one bottle of Lindemans! Never heard of Domaine ZD so we have to stick to Roederer or Krug. I didn't realise that the yellow stuff really is antifreeze or more likely a sample!

I think that use of the word great to describe Australian weather/cricket/rugby is valid but not for bubbly. I see that sales of that buttery,deep yellow Australian chardonnay are falling in the UK whilst sales of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc are on the up; from personal experience that would probably go with the seafood and oysters better than a bottle of sparkling Lindemans!

Gastrosurf,
I would stick to 'Porridge' if I were you. Both Jeni Barnett and Ainsley Harriot ruined perfectly good cooking shows with their inflated egos and self importance.Loud and overbearing she was over-compensating for a complete lack talent, empathy and sensitivity. Keep her off the screen.

I don't want GFL back nor the loud mouthed boorish Jenni Barnett, in fact I was pleased when I heard it was being replaced,but Market Kitchen is a truly dreadful programme.It lacks pace, certainly doesn't entertain and Tana Ramsey is just as bad as she was on day one. I suspect the target audience for all cookery programmes is fairly middle class and Waitrose as a sponsor would seem to support this view, but Market Kitchen does have a Home Counties bias in the choice of presenters.Market Kitchen looks to be a low budget dumbed down affair and sadly to my mind it has failed. I don't watch it anymore,but that is irrelevant if market research says it is successful.Personally I think the BBC programmes with James Martin have the right mix of entertainment/cooking but it has taken him several years to develop his style and it is a different ball game producing one programme per week compared with a daily schedule. Be like me if you don't like it don't watch something else.

Dear Amanda,
I don't support the bring back Jenni campaign nor GFL; she was neither funny nor entertaining just rude beyond belief and GFL was timeserved. However this is a poor show and when it has bedded down and you conduct your market research you will discover just how bad it is. There is so much TV available the success or failure of one programme only matters to the company and it's sponsor because viewers will move on to something else.Listen to your customers and put it right.

What a dreadful programme; frankly I could not stand the borish overbearing Jenni Barnet but this programme is no alternative to GFL. And who was that dreadful woman with no neck cooking rabbit? Come on guys get a professional presenter in to do the show and lets face it Tania Ramsey would not be on if she wasn't married to Gordon. Bring in someone to inject some pace and liven up this pedestrian show and no more amateur presenters;Tania and Tom aren't chefsbut just trading off their names
