Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares is a Channel 4 television programme hosted by British celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay. In each episode, Ramsay visits a failing restaurant and acts as a troubleshooter to help improve the establishment in just one week. Ramsay revisits the restaurant a few months later to see how business has fared in his absence.

Episodes from series one and two have been re-edited with additional new material as Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited; they featured Ramsay checking up on restaurants a year or more after he attended to them.

The series earned a BAFTA award for Best Feature at the British Academy Television Awards 2005 and the 2006 International Emmy for best non-scripted entertainment

Series four began airing weekly from Tuesday 14th November onwards.

Ramsay has also inked a deal to bring an American version of the show (called simply Kitchen Nightmares) to US network FOX in summer 2007 (although the UK version already runs in the US on BBC America). Production will start in February and will follow the same format as the original but based in American restaurants.

In June 2006, Ramsay won a High Court case against the London Evening Standard, which had alleged, after reports from previous owner Sue Ray, that scenes and the general condition of Bonaparte's had been faked. Ramsay was awarded £75,000 plus costs.[1] Ramsay said at the time: "I won't let people write anything they want to about me. We have never done anything in a cynical, fake way."
