[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.

Home Front 8.30pm BBC2
Just moments after Home Front in the Garden has finished, we're back indoors for a new series of Home Front. It has much the same formula as before and there's nothing wrong with that: designer hints, tips and expert advice on how to make your home a thing of beauty plus a regular slot showing how one family (this time it's the McCoskers from Coventry) are transforming their home (it involves chucking out the chintz and bringing in items at the cutting edge of contemporary chic).
Features in this first programme include Jocasta Innes, inspired by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, turning a little bit of West London into thirties America. Meanwhile Lloyd Farmer demonstrates how to make plain plywood into an extraordinarily convincing faux Romanesque mosaic floor.
With Jeremy Paxman. Including at 11.00 News headlines.
