Despite being an amalgamated rip-off of The Apprentice, Kitchen Nightmares and Our Restaurant Rules, BBC2's The Restuarant looks set to be the reality TV series to get us through the next few weeks. Teaming with less originality than the EastEnders writing team, The Restaurant's a winner purely because of it's whole-scale derivitive concept.
As Kitchen Nightmares and Jamie's Chef have proved, running a restaurant is a stress-inducing, temper-flaring business. Thus, it's perfect TV viewing. While it's too soon to be rooting for any of the couples on The Restaurant - or at least find any that are instantly hateful - we're sure it's only a matter of time before the heroes and villains are unveiled. At which point the series will become compulsive viewing, and finally provide some use for that button marked 2 on our remote control.
