“A revolutionary pioneer of robotic surgery specialising in prostate cancer and the most prolific prostate robotic surgeon at London’s Royal Marsden”, Chris Ogden discussed the evolvement of prostate cancer surgery and in particular the use of the da Vinci robotic device “which was initially researched and pioneered by NASA and enhances the use of key hole instruments which are manipulated remotely through a console which the surgeon sits [at] to carry out the procedure.”

He continues on how this safe, successful surgery has “empowered [men] to be diagnosed and treated early and therefore the outcomes are much better for men.”

"It depends how special the chef is"

Ellis Barrie, representing the North West, scored a perfect 4 "tens". Each of the four judges found his food to be faultless and clearly worthy of inclusion in the banquet.

Before the dish was served, Matthew Fort posed a question about Ellis's dish:

"Chris, is mackerel special enough for a banquet?"

Chris's response "It depends how special the chef is!" turned out to be a great prophecy.

Ellis was duly selected as the winner of the fish course final. The quality of his cooking was outstanding but most importantly the way his "Bun In The Oven" met the brief of the competition was also greatly admired.
