2. We want to present an original show that I have created.
We believe this show provides something that is missing
from current British TV programming. There are a lot of
cooking shows on television at the moment but none of
them focus on the family or present cooking as an activity
that parents and children can do together. I hope that my
TV show will be able to demonstrate how cooking can
bring families together, while also being entertaining and
enjoyable to watch.

3. The Big Family Cook-Off is a TV show that we are
proposing to air on British Television. Parents and
children must enter together as a team. They
compete against each other in a variety of cooking
challenges with a potential contract for a joint TV
cooking show as the final prize.

4. TARGET AUDIENCE
• TV show is for families from 13-60
• Competitive reality shows like Strictly Come Dancing, The Voice
UK, The Apprentice and Master Chef have proved consistently
successful with this audience.
• Mark Linsey, the BBC's current controller of entertainment has
himself said "There is so much competition for viewers' time across
so many different platforms that big-hitting entertainment shows
are some of the few programmes that bring people together. They
are hugely important to broadcasters as they can bring the
families together in a way other programmes cannot.“

5. UNIQUE SELLING POINT
• A variety of cooking shows have been
successful in the past such as Nigel Slater's
Simple Suppers, The Great British Bake Off,
Nigellissima, Saturday Kitchen Best Bites,
Nigel Slater's Simple Cooking and
Masterchef.
• This show is different from such shows
because the audience can get involved
in interactive ways. They can call the live
show and vote for the participant that
they like, or can go online and vote.

6. HOW CAN CONTESTANTS
APPLY?
• Any parent with a child aged 12 and up
can enter together. They must initially fill
out a form online and then will be invited
to an audition.
• The link they should visit is
• www.Thebigfamilycook-off.org.uk

7. THE JUDGES
There will be five different famous
chefs. Possible candidates include:
Jamie Oliver, Gordon
Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Nigella
Lawson and Delia Smith.

8. • The Audition: Thousands of potential contestants audition for the
judges and a theatre audience, who both vote on which performers
to accept.
• Boot camp: At boot camp, parent and child teams are sorted into five
groups where they create different types of food based on the
individual judge they are assigned.
• Judges' Restaurants: After the contestants have been further narrowed
down in the boot camp stage, each judge picks six teams to work in
their restaurant for a week. At the end of this week, each judge selects
their three favourite teams to mentor and take through to the live
shows.
• Live Show: Judges mentor their teams through the live show process. A
contestant is eliminated each week by audience vote, until a winner is
finally announced. The live final will take place in the O2 arena.

9. THE WINNNER
• The families on The Big Family Cook- Off
compete for the chance to win a Television
contract to produce their own cookery
program, with £100,000. The winner will have
their recipes released and promoted
internationally.
