FOOD SKETCHES

In Series 3 a new sketch began called ‘Historical Masterchef‘ parody of Masterchef, which looked at food and cooking from historical eras. This aired until Series 6 when ‘The Great Historical Bake Off‘ took over. These changes are probably to keep the sketches up to date as well as a change of cast in Series 6.
