@Karohemd - I somehow missed Kirsty on Celeb MasterChef. And thanks :0)

@Alex - Extremely bizarre. Really threw me.

@Pavel - Woop woop! Love you Pavel - go Team Epicurian Fails!

@Platter - Aberdeen Angus Deayton? *groan*

@Katy Salter @ Pinch of Salt - I wibbled too :)

@chumbles - I was wondering if you were okay - haven't seen you around

I don't think it's William Sitwell's fault he got given a duff role. The whole balance is wrong. As Platter said, it should have one presenter who can do the quiz, the facts, and the banter. It all felt very staid and joyless.

You were great though MiMi :-)

I like the idea of this show and enjoy the questions. However I find Kirsty a really odd choice of presenter for a light hearted show and am bothered by the set featuring IKEA Expedit bookcases (clearly the BBC want everyone to know they are saving money on set designers).

Lovely to see you on telly!

Sitwell was hopeless: "food Statto" about sums it up. The problem is that Kirsty Wark can't do banter or lighthearted (or if she can the people who edited the show badly need to be replaced). Apart from the format, host, "expert", set, credits and pacing I thought the show was top notch.

[You were good though.]

Wonderful! I was out last night and have been laggardly in scanning the web so hadn't realised you were on. My neighbours must think I'm mad; cheering "MiMi" at the top of my voice and only a small scrap of sanity stopped me giving the LED TV a big big hug! You always make me smile, and that's hard to do in these times. And your team didn't do badly against what I

I feel honour-bound to stick up for Sitters here (...

I feel honour-bound to stick up for Sitters here (even though he's more than capable of sticking up for himself!) as he was my boss for 4 years and has just written a rather epic book on the history of food, so I'm sure there's one or 2 facts he knows that Kirsty doesn't. Well done Mimi, it takes a lot of guts to go on a show like this - I'd panic and wibble...

Completely agree with Karohemd on Sitwell's role. BBC should combine his role with that of the quizmaster. Call it an efficiency saving. So questions, answers and banter, all from Kirsty.

Then you have something more like Have I Got Food For You, with Ms Wark as an Aberdeen Angus Deayton.

Was great fun MiMi! Here's to more adventures...

It must be actually bizarre to see Stephen Fry tweeting about a programme you're in on TV. As opposed to, well, the opposite.

I'm not sure if I knew or registered Sitwell before this but the general consensus on twitter was wholeheartedly negative and to me (as many others) his role seemed rather pointless. There was nothing he pointed out Kirsty couldn't have, especially as she has some rather good kitchen cred as a recent Celebrity Masterchef finalist.
Anyway, nice to see you on the telly. :o)
