Tonight’s final sees Ronan, Jade and Callum go head to head in the hopes of lifting the trophy. Gordon Ramsay’s latest culinary competition has failed to deliver the (expletive-filled) pleasures, or tasty-looking dishes, of, say, Kitchen Nightmares or MasterChef (Ramsay is a judge on the US version), but it has been entertaining enough in the main. This fascinating three-part documentary follows the hunt for the perpetrators.
In May 1985, Greenpeace’s flagship the Rainbow Warrior was returning from a visit to the Marshall Islands – whose residents were suffering the horrific effects of nuclear fallout – when it was hit with two explosions, sinking the ship and killing a crew member. Tonight they must design a new men’s skincare product – but one team lands themselves in trouble when their product is found to stain skin. The disaster-prone contestants continue their march towards becoming Lord Sugar’s new favourite business partner, while two face the axe in a dramatic double firing. This series celebrates local caulkheads whose families have lived on the island for generations. With its breathtaking natural beauty, it’s no surprise that the Isle of Wight is one of Britain’s most popular domestic tourist destinations. Historical documentaries such as this one offer an important reminder: for everything we know about the atrocities of the Nazis’ rule, there is yet more still to learn, particularly of the smaller human stories of bravery and sacrifice hidden behind the leaders – and to never forget. Understandably, Fry gets emotional at points, as he talks about his family’s experiences in the Holocaust and learns about Willem and Frieda’s respective homosexuality.
In an inspiring bout of bravery, Willem came up with a plan with fellow artists to destroy the building, and, in turn, the second copies. The feat is made even more incredible when we’re informed of just how sophisticated the Dutch Nazis’ identity card system was each card the authorities issued also had a backup, stored in the Amsterdam Central Records Office.
This moving, personal documentary sees Stephen Fry travel to the Netherlands to explore the story of Willem Arondeus and Frieda Belinfante, two artists who used their creative skills to forge identity cards that saved thousands of Jews from the Nazi death camps in the Second World War.
