Rick Stein's Cornwall

The magnificent natural scenery, friendly residents, and home-cooked food all come together to make a great viewing experience. It made me desire to travel to Cornwall.

This isn't really a programme about Rick Stein's Cornwall. It's a programme about Cornwall's Rick Stein.

This isn't necessarily a pop at Rick, who I am sure is an amiable sort of fellow, but every time you want to see lovely Cornwall, up he pops to get in the way.

In this he follows a long, long, line of celebrity-obsessed television productions. As if the world somehow revolved around the 0.1% of that demographic and as if they are the arbiters of anything and everything that's interesting about places.

Cornwall is a fantastic county. It would be even better if the 'me, me, me' brigade just stepped aside for a bit and allowed the rest of us to see it, in all its glory. Without someone's fizzog in the way.

Absolute pleasure to watch a man a professional to speak of one of the picturesque places in UK. With love, with passion and with tenderness. Definitely will be visiting this place some day.
