Over to you

Do TV programmes such as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares benefit the industry?

Yes. It highlights all the things that need to be shown in the industry. You look at it and think, "No wonder he got upset." Chefs will look at it and know that there are a lot of people out there like that. I looked at the first one and it was a disaster - the lady that owned it shouldn't have been in business.
Michael Bedford, chef-proprietor, the Trouble House, Tetbury, Gloucestershire

Yes. I think he comes across as sincere. The industry is full of people who should not be in it, and I think he shows that and makes it more attractive to people who want to be in it for the right reasons.
Nicholas Dickinson, chairman and joint managing director, Alias Hotels

Any programme that gets people talking about our industry and raises its profile has to be good. However, I'd question whether it's good not to show how hard-working this industry can really be. The reality is that we work in a low-paid, long-hours business. There are great rewards on offer, but you have to be prepared to tough it out to get there.
