Competitive food show. The unprepared challenge features a meat and veg box from Tommy's farm, then the families must make two of Angellica's favourite desserts.

The competitive food show that celebrates the families who make ordinary food extraordinary is back! Over three weeks, 16 family teams battle it out in the showdown studio kitchen. They face a series of challenges based around family cooking, and they are judged by presenters Angellica Bell, herself a Celebrity MasterChef winner and cookery book author, and Tommy Banks, Britain's youngest ever Michelin-starred chef. In each episode, the teams are given two tasks - one they have had time to practise at home, the other a complete surprise, testing their collective ability to work together and think on their feet. 

Tonight, it is all about the judges. First there is an unprepared challenge that features a meat and veg box from Tommy's farm, then the families must make two of Angellica's favourite desserts - carrot cake and trifle. But which family will win a free pass to Friday's grand final?
