There was a criticism section added by an anon. I have removed it and put the text here, as I can't find one reference:

• The show has been criticised for its tediously lengthy structure and also for constructing a non-event (the meeting at the Gherkin) in order to justify its existence. Others have accused the show of "playing to conservative British values" and, concerning the introduction of rules that allow ingredients from around the world to be utilised, "only just embracing Britain's multi-cultural society having aggressively ignored its existence in the past" (Hedgewick, 2008). The show suffered a further setback when allegations emerged that Jenny Bond had, at a private dinner, asserted "we chuck a few 'pakis' in to keep the lefties sweet", when addressing the inclusion of certain talented chefs with non-British backgrounds.
