John Burton Race and Angela Hartnett's attempt to reform some of Britain's worst cooks reaches its finale. Under restaurant conditions and with no help from their mentors, the finalists must create the three-course meal they have designed for the nation's leading food critics. Last in series.

Laura Vaughan, a lapdancer from Liverpool, and Harjinder Chaggar, an A & E doctor from Coventry, were the finalists in the competition, with Laura representing Angela and Harj as John's protégé. Both had come a long way since the auditions, when Angela and John were horrified by the pair's 'signature dishes' - Pot noodles for Laura and a ready-made fish pie for Harj.

Their determination and willingness to learn helped them to become accomplished cooks and their final efforts impressed the food critics.
