"A great show & the reason I came to love Gordon Ramsay in the first place (from the airings of these episodes on BBC America). These episodes are uncensored, so be prepared to hear F-Bombs droping throughout the shows.

But be warned: If you were lucky enough to pick up "Kitchen Nightmares: Vol. 1", then you already have all the episodes on this release. Volume 1 actually has all the episodes from Series 1 & 2. Volume 2 has all the episodes from Series 3 & 4. Volumes 1 & 2 were a Canadian release & were sold thru Amazon for a short time (Amazon is where I got mine). Sadly, it looks like they are no longer available thru Amazon.

If you don't have Volume 1, then by all means order this Series 1 DVD. If you do have Volume 1, then you are just buying the same episodes that you already have."

It's simple, it's rustic and it's DELICIOUS

"Finally, in all it's uncensored glory, the first series of the UK "Kitchen Nightmares" has arrived! The first four original episodes and Gordon's revisits are:

1. Bonaparte's

2. The Glass House

3. The Walnut Tree

4. Moore Place

Bonaparte's is notoriously known to KN watchers as the restaurant whose owner, Sue Ray tried unsuccessfully to sue GR. Also, the young head chef Tim not only served Gordon a rancid scallop, but didn't even know how to make an omlette. The Glass House features one of Gordon's least favorite (and bad risotto making) chefs, Richard. The man seriously had a risotto with pomegranate on the menu. The Walnut Tree, whose owner basically refused to take Gordon's advice is a classic example of a restaurant desperately holding on to past glory. Moore Place was the big purple monster where the deep fryer and microwaves worked longer hours than the kitchen brigade.

It's a great show, with none of the overblown music and 'impending doom' narration of the US version. Bring on Series 2, 3, 4 & 5!"

Great Show If You Cook or Not!

"I caught this one night on tv and was hooked! I love to cook and be in the kitchen, so this was a good fit. Its interesting to get an inside view of some fancy (and some not so) restaurants and see how things work...and well don't.

Ramsay is hard on these people and its good, you can tell he has a love for food and quality! All in all the show is pretty quick paced, with some pretty rough times for these restaurant owners and employees. I will caution you though some of the episodes will make you never wanna eat out again :(

I will be purchasing this on DVD as soon as it releases!"

A supremely entertaining show by possibly the most entertain

"I have been a big fan of Gordon Ramsey for years now. From his books to various shows, it really doesn't get more entertaining the chef Ramsey. I find that the BBC kitchen nightmares has more of a refined & professional feel as opposed to the American version but still is equally as hilarious. You also get to see a somewhat kinder side of Gordon. Yes he's still very intense but uses it more to motivate owners & employees to get their acts together so their restaurant will succeed. Overall just a great show for anyone, especially those who are a fan of cooking."

"I was always aware of Gordon Ramsay but never watched any of his shows till recently. I have become hooked on the US version of KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. So hooked that I just had to purchase both of the British series that are available. I am so glad I did and cannot praise it enough. Here I am reviewing the complete series one of RAMSAY'S KITCHEN NIGHTMARES. What Ramsay does here is exactly the same as he does in the US version. Restaurants in trouble have contacted him seeking his expertise and help. He goes to them, investigates in depth what problems exist and helps them to see the problems and implement changes that will hopefully stick.

Here is some news. If you enjoy the US version the British version is better in every way. With British television very little is censored and you see and hear everything and it is much more real. You also see how the producers sensationalize the US version which is of course how US television is done. But it is not necessary. By being uncensored you get to see more of the real Gordon Ramsay. He is very tough and very honest while at the same time being very compassionate. The restaurants and their problems speak for themselves. No sensationalizing is necessary. Just make sure you notice how many bleeps there are in the US version for the language is totally unedited here and there is much f----, etc. So be prepared. But what you get is a world class chef showing us the problems that exist in many restaurants. He does an amazing job at this as well as discovering the true positive entity that exists within each restaurant.

Some say each episode is the same. This is in no way true. The premise of the show is that he goes to restaurants and does what he does but each restaurant is a different unique experience. I find the British version to be so much better than how reality shows are done in the US. If you love Gordon Ramsay and his honesty and skill this series is a highly recommended must. Not just for the fun of watching him but also for an education on restaurants, food and what to watch out for when you think you are just going out for a nice dinner."
