Clarkson's Farm

[arsenal]

Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip.

The idea is 3 chefs travelling together collecting ingredients for some wedding in Italy.

This is ITVs attempt at a buddy buddy buddy style show a la Clarkson, May and Hammond. And it stinks. More forced than a foie gras goose, more laboured than a stone quarry, it comes complete with camper van, terrible driving and 'comedy' set ups that wouldn't be out of place in a 1970s sitcom. Unwatchable, I gave up after 20 minutes such was the cringe worthy embarrassment of the show.

ITV have a history of trying to copy successful formats usually with very poor results but this is in a league of its own. Gruesome.

Gordon, Gino and Fred's Road Trip..... it stinks....... Gruesome.

Aww we actually quite like it, it is a bit contrived for sure and Gino ( as usual) plays it up for the camera just a little too much ( as per every other programme he does when on other TV shows too with his fake Italian mispronounciations from a guy who's lived in the UK for over 20 years now).

Apparently Gordon and Gino are actually good friends in real life so I think that side of things isn't so fake perhaps and in fact it seems Gino's son is banging .....sorry dating...Gordons daughter even it seems.

So while it's not ground breaking TV when sitting with a glass ( bottle ) of wine of an evening relaxing we're not averse to sticking it on for a laugh or two.
