==Plot== Henry starred as Gareth Blackstock, a talented, arrogant, tyrannical and obsessed [[chef]] who has endlessly inventive insults for his staff, unknowing customers, and almost anyone else he encounters. Chef Blackstock's traditional [[French cuisine]] with an eclectic flair is served at "Le Château Anglais," a gourmet [[restaurant]] in the English countryside that is one of the few in the United Kingdom to receive a [[Michelin Guide|two-star rating from Michelin]]. The chef's quest for perfection and his lack of awareness about the costs of that perfection mean that the restaurant is on the brink of financial collapse when he and his wife Janice (played by [[Caroline Lee-Johnson]]) buy it early in the first series. The establishment mostly remains on that brink, despite Janice's best efforts as manager, eventually coming under the control of the boorish Cyril Bryson ([[Dave Hill (actor)|Dave Hill]]) in the final series. Although focused on the restaurant's kitchen, the countryside (with its [[black market]] suppliers) and the Blackstocks' home life are also backdrops for the show; the chef's long hours mean that Janice is routinely neglected in the bedroom, and their plans for a family remain delayed.
