MasterChef (UK) The Professionals S17E13-E15 (1080p, soft English subtitles)
The hunt for the next superstar chef. Professional cooks are put through their paces. Who will cope and who will crack?
E13
It’s knockout week, and the 12 best chefs from the heats are back to compete against each other for the first time. They will need to raise the bar, as the pressure is ramped up. This week is all about getting a place in the semi-finals, and these fearless competitors will need to outshine the competition to get there. The terrifying invention test returns. Marcus, Monica and Gregg want each of the 12 to create a dish that sings on every front. Only stunning presentation matched with exceptional flavours will have the judges sit up and take notice. Standing out in this strong group of chefs won’t be easy. The judges will pick their favourites who then go straight through to the next round. Those that aren’t quite up to scratch will go another round in the kitchen to earn the right to stay in the competition. If they cooked savoury last round, they will cook sweet - and vice versa. They will have whatever is left of the ingredients to play with, but they’ll need to pull it out the bag to get through, as there will not be any third chances. Two will be given their marching orders, and those who have impressed will step up to the next challenge, as the race for this year’s title hots up like never before.

Knockout week continues and the ten remaining professionals are split into two groups. The contenders step out of the MasterChef kitchen for the first time, cooking for their toughest crowd yet, and then return to compete for a place in the semi-finals. In this edition, five chefs take over Market Halls in central London, which is the home of some of the country’s most exciting and eclectic food pop-up stalls. The professionals take charge of the market and deliver their own tasty treats for 22 of the biggest movers and shakers in the pop-up scene. They have three hours to serve up one dish each for the diners, but the quality of the food leaving the kitchens will need to be world class. This is a chance to see how the chefs cope with working in cramped spaces and with unfamiliar equipment. These diners know what it takes to succeed in this business, and their opinion on the culinary creations matters more than ever, as they will all vote on the dish that impressed them the most. The chef who cooks the winning plate of food will sail straight through to the semi-finals. The verdict is delivered back at the MasterChef kitchen and the four who fail to come out on top will cook again. Their brief is a tall order: to prepare a dish that celebrates their favourite drink. Whether their inspiration is beer, fine wine or a cup of tea, the level of creativity will have to be through the roof, as the judges will be calling last orders for one unfortunate chef. At the end, the best three will have cause to celebrate getting one step closer to becoming MasterChef: The Professionals Champion 2024.

It’s the last of the knockouts and time for the MasterChef pop-up to open its doors once more for the second group of five chefs. It’s their chance to show the who’s who of the pop-up world that they mean business, as they serve up delicious dishes to those who know what it takes to succeed in the industry. The contestants will need to bring their A-game, as the dish voted the tastiest will land its creator an immediate place in the semi-finals. The remaining four will need to fight it out for their places back in the MasterChef kitchen, as they are given just one hour and 40 minutes to deliver one dish inspired by their favourite drink. This is one of the most high-pressure cook-offs yet, so the judges are ready for a cocktail of emotions from their contestants. Three more will move on to form part of the exclusive club, MasterChef: The Professionals semi-finalists.
