That excellent BBC2 series Great British Menu has reached its closing stages, with the eight finalists lining up to present the dishes they hope will give them the chance to cook for returning British service personnel at a swanky banquet this summer.

Starters were presented last night and Glynn Purnell's corned beef, beetroot and brown sauce combo didn't go down at all well with the judges - coming second last.

Fingers crossed his fish, main course and dessert do better over the next three nights.

But don't forget that there's a public vote, too. So get behind Glynn, who went all the way last year. Get voting.

It was good to see Glynn Purnell in the latest series of the Great British Menu, which started on BBC2 last night.

The theme this year is to cook a meal for some of the soldiers returning from overseas this summer and Glynn dreamed up a starter of home-made corned beef and brown sauce, which I thought looked fabulous.

Best of luck to Glynn, who was one of the winning chefs in last year's show.
