Episode 16
It's Finals Week, and only the six most exceptional chefs are left standing. Tonight, six become four as they battle for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cook their food for a dining room full of culinary legends at the Chef's Table.
First, the contenders must cook off against each other in the MasterChef kitchen to prove they are worthy of cooking at this incredible event. They have one hour and 45 minutes to pull out all the stops and cook a dish that showcases their best culinary attributes and technical abilities. Each must draw on all their knowledge and skill to create a stunning plate of food that shines out in a room full of talented chefs. At the end of this challenge, the judges will decide which four can continue in the competition.
The Chef's Table is one of the most prestigious events in the British culinary calendar, and this year it's being held at the five-star Lanesborough Hotel in London. For the remaining finalists, it's a unique chance to prove their talent to 20 of their professional heroes, who hold 19 Michelin stars between them. They include Matt Abé (3* Restaurant Gordon Ramsay), Nieves Barragan Mohacho (Sabor 1*), Lisa Goodwin-Allen (1* Northcote), Jason Atherton (The Social Company 3*) and the much-loved MasterChef judge and renowned chef patron of Mere, Monica Galetti.
Cooking for these culinary giants is a huge honour, and the chefs have five hours to prepare one course each for this unique dinner. The pressure is on to execute every single element to perfection and send 20 identical, exquisitely presented dishes out to the guests. Nothing can go amiss as the expert diners will be seeking flawless, mouthwatering, original food. For the finalists, these dishes could make or break their careers and their chances of winning the MasterChef: The Professionals 2022 title.

Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live is an Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
