The Big Challenge - The Big Cook

Will a surprised team of teachers be able to gather enough free local produce, cook enough food, and sell enough dishes at their local market to raise a tasty amount of money for Red Nose Day?

Tony Morris is an award winning maths teacher in Ross-on-Wye, in rural Herefordshire, who has no idea that his world is about to be turned upside down.

Morris and two other staff members discover they have just 36 hours to complete a very ambitious task: to become money-making masterchefs to raise cash for Red Nose Day.

The Big Challenge is an exciting new series where schools across the country are set fundraising challenges which they have to complete in just 36 hours.

From morris dancing to helicopter rescue training, the teams have to use all their powers of persuasion and stamina as they race to complete the ultimate test.
