I think that it's a bit rich to expect me to go and catch my tea after I've been busting my balls all day at work. I know that some of the most wonderful food is (virtually) at my doorstep, but really, when I've finished working, I'm not trudging around a moor with a rifle looking for ducks. It seems this is what Wild Gourmets (Channel 4, Tuesday, 8.30pm) wants me to do. Well yaaabooo... sucks to you!

This series follows award-winning cook (aren't they all?) Thomasina Miers and outdoor type Guy Grieve as they search for the wild food in Britain. It's lessons in seasonal grub and the like. Thomasina and Guy found themselves in East Anglia for the start of the game season, shooting game birds and snuffling for vegetables. Sorry... is this exactly what Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall does?

If Hugh tells us all to stop buying crap from supermarkets and start looking to those who can provide you things that they've grown or reared themselves (good advice) then Thomasina and Guy are seemingly expecting you to go and hunt in your leisure time. If they don't expect that, then this show is a self satisfying excursion which enables the pair to show Britons just how wonderful they are.

It seems like a very middle class attitude to expect people to suffer for their food in this way. I mean, I come from a poor family and to this day, I can't bring myself to leave an empty plate. Food is not something to deprive oneself of. However, Thomasina and Guy are clearly from decent families and as a result, do not have the same attachment to food as the rest of the country. They can afford to take a moral high ground. They can afford to spend a week in a forest catching pike.

But let's not turn this into a class war eh? As a pair, they make for reasonable TV. Something about Thomasina leaves me frustrated though. She seems so very pleased with herself all the time. Guy on the other hand is perfect for the box. Although he's not my cup of tea, it's easy to see why some people would enjoy him prancing around on the box, chopping stuff up and getting his arse out every chance he can. He's like some action figure come to life. In fact, last night, I was sure I was a seam around his neck like Star Wars figures used to have.

The pair caught food and served it up at a wild food banquet (loads of people listening to folk music and eating great food in a village hall... it looked ace!) and spent their time trying to convince all that pike was a nice fish to eat. Most agreed. This came on the back of Thomasina's claim that "pike is the most hated fish in Britain". That may be true in certain circles, but I bet if you ask around your office now, which is the most hated fish in Britain, I bet most don't have a real answer, or, say something like 'I don't like the smell of tuna sandwiches'.

Wild Gourmets is essentially a diet version of two shows. Ray Mears and The River Cottage Treatment. The only unique thing it seems to be peddling is a mock sexual frisson between the two hosts. That said, in the last month, we've had roughly 20 chefs on our screen... do we really need these two?
