He's never been about the stars though, I'd be more piss-taking of the Hairy Bikers who ovbously these days are about the the ponce but wont' ever see a star.
1) He has a lovely family, who he treats right, and they do well out of him
2) He's bought an entire revival of home-cooking to the homes of a lot of people
3) Ok, he's not star worthy in the slightest, but that is far from everything, and it _can_ be depriemental... look at how many resturants go under within the first two years of getting a star. Suddenly people think they have to book to get in.
4) His books and shows are actually very good.
5) His campaigning, not only schools but for troubled youths, is exactly what this country needs.

Ok, if I was given a chance to go to any resturant for free in london/uk/world/etc, he wouldn't be even in the top 5... and the meal I got at Recipease was very disapointing (but the pasta lesson was amazing)... but as a person and to a lesser extent a cook, I think he's a great man.
