Three of Scotland's top chefs attempt to impress a veteran judge.

Creative culinary competition. Three top chefs from Scotland, all competition newcomers, aim to impress this week's veteran judge and be crowned Scottish champion.

Great British Menu is back and the nation's top chefs are competing for the ultimate prize - the chance to cook at a banquet held at the Palace of Westminster, in celebration of everyday great Britons honoured by the Queen.

In the year of the Queen's 90th birthday, the chefs are challenged to showcase contemporary cuisine and demonstrate the transformation in British food during her historic reign. The 24 chefs competing in eight heats have travelled the country meeting great Britons who have been recognised for their tireless and selfless work for charities, for local communities and for the country.

In this episode, three top chefs from Scotland - all competition newcomers - are out to impress this week's veteran judge and be crowned Scottish champion. Adam Handling, the youngest competitor, has already won a number of industry awards and is full of confidence. His starter sets out to take the diner on a tour of the UK's best producers. He is up against Aberdeen-born Michael Bremner, who now runs a restaurant in Brighton. Michael is hoping to impress with contemporary ingredients including birch sap and douglas fir oil. Ally McGrath, the only chef who is cooking in Scotland, is celebrating his nation's finest produce and making his very own version of haggis.

Knowledge, drama, comedy and the arts for a broad adult audience.

BBC Two is a lively channel of depth and substance, carrying a range of knowledge-building programming complemented by great drama, comedy and arts.
