"Nailed it" is awesome

Nailed it is a reality TV show where people are given stupidly short times to recreate confections that must have taken a trained chef ages to make. It’s hilarious. I’m not usually a fan of programs that set people up to fail and then film them doing it, but it works fine if the people are in on the joke. And the prize money is enormous for the winner (although I reckon that all the contestants should get a share).

The host and the expert chef are excellent and they do seem to have a knack of finding appropriately crazy guests to join in the fun. This is not highbrow telly. But it is great stuff.
