Gordon Ramsay's new show features him teaching inmates how to cook in the hopes of rehabilitating them. Apparently there's nothing like a perfectly risen soufflé for preventing double, triple and even quadruple murderers from reoffending. Now that it's been pointed out, it's amazing the government's wasted so much time on trying to keep the naughty buggers in school when all they actually had to do was give them a tin opener and a Delia Smith cookbook.

Having said that, didn't Jamie Oliver already pretty much do this with his restaurant, Fifteen London? Admittedly the food's not exactly amazing, but those little rascals certainly don't seem to have been robbing as many TVs recently. Not quite sure whether Gordon Ramsay's attempt to do it with slightly harder crims is going to be such a success though, what with most of them happily adding another few years onto their sentence just for a chance to give the craggy-faced narcissist a good old stabbing.

Either way, here's a hilarious story about how the production crew almost left a deadly weapon in the prison they were recently filming in. (Via The Sunday Mirror)

"This was all pretty farcical stuff. ­Obviously filming in a prison can be very challenging as you have to follow very strict security ­procedures. Crew have to draw up inventories of every ­single thing they bring in,"

"When they were ­counting up the ­kitchen ­equipment at the end of the day's filming they realised they only had 11 potato peelers, when they thought they'd brought in 12. In prison, a potato peeler could be used as an absolutely devastating weapon.

"Lo and behold, they realised they'd only brought 11 inside in the first place. The look on their faces when they had to tell these tough prison guards they'd completely wasted their time was absolutely priceless."

It's a good story, but our favourite bit is almost certainly the language used by the source. We reckon his name is probably Geoffrey or Archie.
