Mentorn Scotland has added to its factual slate with three new titles headed for the BBC, including the traveling culinary show Corner Shop Cook-Off<\/em>.<\/p>\n For BBC Scotland, the 6×60-minute Corner Shop Cook-Off<\/em>, presented by Clare Grogan, sees a professional chef go head to head with the show’s resident chef\u2014MasterChef: The Professionals<\/em> winner Gary Maclean\u2014to create three courses using only ingredients bought from a featured corner shop. Each week the cooking roadshow will turn up to a different corner shop, traveling all over Scotland.<\/p>\n Comedian Mark Nelson will front Bad Influencer<\/em> (6×30 min.), also for BBC Scotland. This weekly show, which will see Mark joined by two comedy guests, will look through the funniest social media posts relating to a range of set topics, from family and friends to dogs and the Scottish diet.<\/p>\n The one-off Get Rich or Try Dying<\/em> (working title) for BBC Four will look at the legacy estate industry via some of the biggest names in pop who are no longer with us. Hosted by Radio 2 presenter Ana Matronic, from the band Scissor Sisters, the documentary will look at what happens to pop stars and their estates when they die. Using a combination of interview, archive and investigation, Get Rich or Try Dying<\/em> will peel back the complicated mechanics of the entertainment industry when it attempts to deal with the business of the afterlife.<\/p>\n Paul Murray, executive producer for Mentorn Scotland on all three titles, commented: \u201cI\u2019m really proud of all these projects; Cook-Off<\/em> is a really innovative format that is both entertaining and surprising, Clare is a brilliant host and the cooking is bonkers at times, but also really inspiring. Bad Influencer<\/em> is a cheeky take on the world around us and how we interact with it, and Get Rich<\/em> is a fascinating insight into a part of the pop industry that most people will not have given much thought to, but is actually worth multi-millions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mentorn Scotland has added to its factual slate with three new titles headed for the BBC, including the traveling culinary show Corner Shop Cook-Off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":13060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3920,669,714,3921,3922,3923],"class_list":["post-13059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bad-influencer","tag-bbc-four","tag-bbc-scotland","tag-corner-shop-cook-off","tag-get-rich-or-try-dying","tag-mentorn-scotland","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
