What's Cookin' Today Hour ONE:

Jamie Campbell Bower of "Twilight: New Moon," " Harry Potter" and "Sweeney Todd" Will Introduce Us To The Story of Camelot That Has Never Been Told Before!


Jamie Campbell Bower, one of Britain’s brightest young stars, has already appeared alongside an impressive list of prominent actors in a number of box office hits and critically acclaimed films. He first gained notice playing the role of Anthony in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. His performances as Caius-Volturi in Twilight: New Moon and Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, have secured this talented British actor’s career on both the big and small screens.

Now Jamie is starring as young King Arthur in Camelot, an original 10-part series premiering on Starz Friday, April 1, at 10:00PM ET/PT. Starz’ newest original series takes a distinctly fresh approach to one of the most enduring tales of all time. Brimming with love, power and betrayal amidst breathtaking locales (shot on location in Ireland), this is a modern, relatable, re-telling of the classic story of Camelot, which has captivated the public’s imagination since the Middle Ages.


Sheila Conlin, the Casting Director for KITCHEN NIGHTMARES Gives Us the Behind the Scenes Scoop on Gordon Ramsey and How They Choose Their Restaurants!

About the show: World-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay is back for a third course of the ultimate restaurant revival show where he steps out of his own five-star establishments and travels the country visiting some of the most unsanitary and unsuccessful restaurants in America.

For many, Ramsay is their last chance to help turn around their businesses or else they'll be forced to close their doors forever. Chef Ramsay will observe the inner workings of the chosen establishment to try and get to the root of the problem causing the business to fail.

Each week, Chef Ramsay will observe the inner workings of the chosen establishment to try and get to the root of the problem causing the business to fail. Along the way, he'll reveal the sometimes harsh and stressful realities of running a restaurant and wastes no time getting down to business as he uses his expertise and professional experience to try and help turn an empty restaurant into the most popular, sought-after venue in town.

With Ramsay's reputation on the line, he will demand absolute excellence and perfection from the owners as he gives them advice on everything from new signature menu items and updating the decor to customer service and staff changes. With some training and reinforcement, Ramsay hopes to help breathe new life into these failing eateries or else many will have to make some tough decisions as they continue to stumble toward closure.
