What Was The Best About?
The Best was a fun cooking competition. It featured three professional cooks: Silvana Franco and Paul Merrett from Britain, and Ben O'Donoghue from Australia. In each episode, these chefs had a friendly challenge. They had to create the best dish for two different food categories.
How Were Dishes Judged?
A special group of three judges decided which dish was the best. These judges changed for each episode. A cool part was that the judges didn't know which chef made which dish. This made sure their decisions were fair!

The show first aired on BBC Two. You could watch it every Tuesday night at 8:30 PM. The first episode was on April 23, 2002, and the last was on July 16, 2002. There were a couple of weeks when it didn't air because of Wimbledon tennis.
