[Photo caption] Bare essentials: Jamie Oliver gets down to the nitty gritty in The Naked Chef

The Naked Chef 8.00pm BBC2
The title is bound to elicit all manner of coarse jokes but it refers to "stripping down the recipe to the bare essentials" and not to 23-year-old Jamie Oliver cooking in the nude.
Oliver, who sounds like Alan Davies, gets "stuck into" shoving sage and pancetta into a leg of lamb ("or you could use dried apricots and smashed up thyme and butter, that works beautiful") then "chuffs up" potatoes ready for roasting and prepares some "wicked fruit" with "amazing vanilla sugar, bloomin' useful stuff".
From this you may realise that he's an instinctive chef rather than one for precise measurements and careful methods. Traditionalists - and fans of Delia - may find him and the rock 'n' roll camerawork too much to take - but you can't help being swept up with his gutsy approach.
