Marco starts his journey to find the best British food he can by exploring the idea of serving fresh game as a main course at the Great British Feast.
He goes lamping for rabbits with a gamekeeper. He says: “When I was a boy everybody ate rabbit. It was delicious. Today people think they’re pretty little things.”
Back in the kitchen Marco shows how to make a stockpot using rabbit and vegetables.
Next, he travels 400 miles to the Scottish Highlands to visit Bill Cassell’s farm, and see for himself the pure Highland cattle which are one of Britain’s oldest native breeds.

Andy Scott Lee has accused Strictly Come Dancing star, Matt Di’Angelo of ruining his marriage to Michelle Heaton.

George is performing in his home town of Warrington this afternoon and his dad Brian, who has only seen him once in the last five years is planning to attend.
“I can’t wait to see George dance,” Brian told the Daily Star Sunday. “At first I wasn’t going to go along because I wasn’t sure he’d want me there. But I have decided I have got every right to go because he is my son and I would give anything to see him perform.
“Just to see him dance would make me the proudest dad in the world. But I have also decided I will stay at the back to start with and just see how things go. If I think there could be any trouble I will just leave for George’s sake.”
Brian split from George’s mother Lesley five years ago. Their divorce was finalised earlier this year. Read more & comment »

ITV2 are getting ready to launch a new celebrity reality TV show called ‘CelebAir’. Think of it as ‘Airline’ with celebrities and you would be about right.
The budget airline Monarch are thought to be leasing one of their planes to ITV, and the celebrities who take part will have to perform all the duties of regular airline staff, including check-in, cabin crew and sales, though thankfully they will not be piloting the plane.
“This isn’t frivolous or celebrity TV for the sake of it – there’s a genuine outcome at stake - such as people’s business trips and holidays,” one ITV source said.
“CelebAir takes reality shows literally to new heights, where famous faces will take over a commercial jet and fly paying passengers to a host of destinations. Read more & comment »

DAY 231:14pm - Following last night’s argument where Dennis spat in Mohamed’s face, Dennis is called to the Diary Room by Big Brother. Dennis confirms that he remembers the incident and says “I really regret this incident”. Big Brother says: “Big Brother is in no doubt Dennis, that spitting in another housemate’s face is an act of aggression and therefore unacceptable behaviour. Big Brother is therefore left with no choice but to remove you from the Big Brother house. Do you have anything to say before you leave?” Dennis replies “I’m just really sorry and so disappointed in myself. I’m really sorry”. Dennis leaves the Big Brother house.
1:42pm - Mario is reading a laminate to the other housemates about Dennis’s removal. They are told the eviction will still go ahead. Jennifer shouts “yeah well let’s hope justice is served. Let’s hope Mohamed goes!” Some of the housemates start arguing again and Dale is up close to Mohamed’s face when he gets called to the Diary Room. Big Brother tells Dale to take a moment to calm down. Dale says Mohamed is a “f**king little weed” but when Big Brother asks Dale is he would have done anything differently the night before he says he could have been calmer in the way he spoke. Big Brother tells Dale that his behaviour was deemed aggressive. Dale concedes that if he’d been the one spat on, he would have wanted the person responsible to be removed. Read more & comment »

For today’s Big Brother task, housemates will be required to master the art of topiary.
Big Brother has placed 11 buxus trees in the garden which housemates must prune into various designs.
Big Brother has provided housemates with a watering can containing 11 cards. When instructed to do so by Big Brother, housemates must each draw one card from the watering can. Printed on each card is a word describing the shape that the housemate must attempt to prune their bush into.
Housemates will then have one hour in which to create their design.
If housemates prune their bushes to an acceptable standard, Big Brother will reward housemates with one token. If housemates fail to prune their bushes to an acceptable standard, housemates will receive nothing.
