is the revived British version of the competitive cooking reality show, MasterChef, produced by Endemol Shine UK and Banijay. The revival series has been broadcast by the BBC since 2005, originally titled MasterChef Goes Large, before being renamed to the original name MasterChef in 2008. Since 2005, the series featured a new format devised by Franc Roddam and John Silver, with Karen Ross producing.
The UK series currently appears in four versions: the main MasterChef series; Celebrity MasterChef; MasterChef: The Professionals, with working chefs; and Junior MasterChef, featuring children between the ages of nine and twelve. The format and style of the show have been reproduced around the world in various international versions.
Since the original series back in 1990, the format has adapted, much like the series' international versions. Since 2008, each series is broadcast on five nights a week, running for eight weeks. During the first six weeks, the first four episodes of each week are "heats" and the fifth episode is a quarter-final. Six contestants enter each heat and the winner of the heat becomes a quarter-finalist. At the end of each week, the four quarter-finalists compete and a semi-finalist is chosen. After six weeks, the six semi-finalists compete during the final two weeks.
In 2010, the judges were given more flexibility, allowing them to advance more than one contestant to the quarter-finals or, in one instance, none at all. During Series 7, there was an audition-style setup, similar to the setup for MasterChef USA, where the hopeful chefs cooked in front of the judges to secure a spot in the competition. More than 20,000 people applied to audition for the series.
MasterChef is a competitive cooking show television format created by Franc Roddam, which originated with the UK version in July 1990. The show aims to discover the culinary talent of chefs of varying skill levels, through a series of cooking challenges, watched over by various acclaimed food critics and chefs.
