BBC Two - Alex Polizzi: Chefs on Trial, Miners Arms Heat 2

Twenty-one-year-old Joshua is pitted against 48-year-old events chef Leslie.

Alex Polizzi takes on the difficult challenge of finding head chefs. It's David v Goliath as 21-year-old Joshua is pitted against 48-year-old events chef Leslie.

Alex tackles the Miners Arms, a gastropub in the Forest of Dean. Mario and Karen Constantinides have found it impossible to find a new head chef to help them transform their menu from good pub grub to a destination restaurant. They've now turned to Alex for help to find the right person. 

Over a week, Alex will offer up nine candidates to be put through a rigorous interview process. As well as testing their technical cooking skills, all candidates will have a face-to-face interview and a chance to cook a signature dish that shows off their culinary flair. But at the end of the week, only one can get the job. 

In the previous episode, the first successful candidate was put through to the final. This time, the next three candidates are put through the gruelling hands-on interview process. 

Their first test is about local ingredients, and the chefs are presented with the little-used ingredient of kid meat. It's David versus Goliath as 21-year-old Joshua is pitted against 48-year-old events chef Leslie. Also in the mix is local boy David, who hopes his understanding of the area will push him through. This round is far from clear-cut as a confident Leslie clashes with owner Mario and questions are asked about young Joshua's experience. 

Competition is intense, as only one will be selected to go through to the final interview at the end of the week.
