It's the 20th anniversary series of Great British Menu, and four chefs compete for north east England and Yorkshire with canapes, starters and fish dishes celebrating great Britons of the past for a banquet at historic Blenheim Palace.

The dishes are judged by past winner of the fish course Michael O'Hare, and they include a suffragette tea party featuring variations of onion, and a green banana curry inspired by Cornelia Sorabji, the first woman to study law at Oxford University.

The two highest-scoring chefs from north east England and Yorkshire must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.

They need to impress a panel of exacting judges: Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge, former Great British Menu Champion of Champions Lorna McNee, and comedian and food podcaster Ed Gamble. The guest judge is Greg Jenner, a historian and an honorary fellow of York University. How will he judge dishes celebrating great Britons of the past?

Only one of the chefs will triumph and go through to represent north east England and Yorkshire at the national finals.
