It's finals week, where the winners from the heats compete to cook a course at a red-carpet banquet in Liverpool's St George's Hall to celebrate the British film industry.

The eight rivals from all corners of the UK compete over a different course, from starter through to dessert, where they will be marked out of ten by an expert judging panel, including a surprise guest judge - in this episode, film director Marli Siu.

It's a nerve-wracking first day as the chefs settle into the kitchen and meet their rivals. Each wants to win a course at the banquet and get their name on the menu. Can they improve on their scores from the first rounds?

Eight regional champions cook their main courses again in a bid to secure a place at a banquet celebrating the British film industry.

The multi-award-winning director of such films as The Queen, Philomena, My Beautiful Laundrette and Dangerous Liaisons, Sir Stephen Frears, joins Tom Kerridge, Lorna McNee and Phil Wang on the judging panel. They're tasked with picking a winner from eight main courses.

And in a twist, a mystery wildcard chef is invited into the kitchen to enter the fray. Can they steal the winning crown from the other chefs?
