OMG. How brilliant was last night's episode of The Restaurant?

Raymond Blanc may not have the catchphrases of Masterchef's Michel Roux Jnr but this was still television of the highest order.

There is neither time nor space here to go over the full spectrum of genius moments. It was like a program entirely created for the amusement of Harry Hill.

But top marks for genius have to go to the couple who thought that it would be a good idea, when asked to cook one dish that would show Raymondo what they could do - their very own signature dish - decided to serve him Asda smoked salmon . Asda! I ask you!

A close second comes "hospital chef Simon" (as he'd be known in Masterchefland, where everyone has a two-word prefix). He was cooking chocolate fondant, a signature Blanc dish.

But when Raymond said: "Is it my recipe?" Simon's facial expressions did little to hide his panic. I'd guess his thinking went like this.... "Raymond's got a fondant recipe? Raymond cooks fondant? Fondant is Raymond's signature dish? Omygod I'm going home".

He didn't, of course, because Raymond admired his nerve. Personally I'm not sure it counts as nerve when you clearly have no idea what you're doing, but fair play to him.

But the thing that made me laugh the most were MissyBaba and their coconut disaster.

if you didn't see it, click HERE - the segment you're looking for starts at 25.52 if it's doesn't start automatically - and then tell us: how would YOU crack a coconut..? (if you like, you can send us pictures or a video of the best coconut cracking method... email sam.shepherd@bournemouthecho.co.uk .)

PS: feel free to let us what your favourite moment or couple was in the comments too!

And here's one method of cracking coconuts, from the sadly now closed Gourmet magazine... not sure how Ray would feel about the screwdriver though!
