Anyone watching this? I know he's at times annoying and a bit self obsessed, but it looks like he is doing a proper good thing here.
He's set up a bakery in Brixton prison, selling cakes outside, and he's trying to give jobs and experience to people who've been released.
That's proper rehabilitation - much better than throwing away keys I reckon.
* ** *** ***** as ramsey himself may say
Reports post for ******* swearfilter avoidance.
It's amazing. I can't believe any other sleb chef hasn't tried something similar...
What, free labour supply, yeh? ****** brilliant yeh, bigboy, yeh?
In the words of Alan partride -
Arm wrestling with Chas & Dave?
Cooking in prison?
Monkey tennis?
Slowly but surely Alan's list of rediculous programmes is becoming reality. Can.t wait for Youth hosteling with Chris Eubank
It's demonstrated very well that when you give someone some hope, pride and a future what can be achieved.
Now shoosh, I'm watching it on 4+1 and don't want to hear any spoilers - I'm expecting big personal triumphs over adversity and new leafs turned.
EDIT - talking of Eubank, I spoke with him at a small provincial boxing venue near to me two weekends ago - surreal.
FTW
INNER CITY SUMO - You simply get fat people from the inner cities, put them in nappies and make them fight each other. Could be done in a pub car park.
It's one way to smuggle out the shivs made in the metalwork shop 😉
searches Tv for monkey tennis...... is disappointed
We have got an obesity epidemic and he is getting people to make more cake - completely irresponsible.
Sampras was pretty hairy.
I wondered how long it would take before this just descended into Partridge references.
"Smell my cheese you mother!"
I reckon prison rehab is far more important than people seem to think.
This is a blatant rip off of what is being done at Highdown prison in Surrey.
There is a top notch restaurant in the prison. Where surprisingly the inmates cook and serve. The veg is grown there as well. Its quite amusing as you are eating your dinner with plastic cutlery while in the open plan kitchen the inmates have eff off big carving knives.
Alright, well good job putting it on tv then so people know about it.
Doesn't matter if it's being done twice imo.
Years ago Ramsey visited a prison in one of his shows and worked with some lads doing time and working in the kitchen. One lad wanted to work as a chef outside and Gordon said come and see me when you get out I'll give you a job, and he assured the guy he meant it. And I believe he would.
As someone who wasted a lot of their younger years and has a fairly serious conviction (but luckily, well actually due to a very understanding judge, never incarcerated) and a few minor ones, one thing I'm always telling people to remember, is that there are a whole load of people in our prisons who have done nothing more than made poor choices and shit decisions, and who given half a chance would be model citizens. If my partner, who does know of my murky past, told her family, they wouldn't believe it. In fact, I reckon they'd wager money on it not being true.

If you don't do it Sky will ....
Big smiles on my face now lads 😀

It's actually being done in various prisons throughout the country, including the one I work in, just that GR has highlighted it.

He does seem quite two faced though. To the prisoners he's on their side, helping them out. In pieces to the camera it's more like 'They're scum, about time they gave back' or at least it was on the first two episodes. Not bothered since then.
Jesus - the food is bad enough in most British pubs and restaurants that serve up microwaved 3663, Food Service and Brakes garbage. Now we're going to have it microwaved by former prisoners?
been watching it with mrsconsequence. there's a good drinking game to be made if you drank every time he said 'bad boys' 'bad boys brigade' 'my brigade of bad boys' 'bad boys bakery' and 'graft'
