Two incredible actors, used to tackling huge roles, now face perhaps their toughest challenge yet: our Fast Food Quiz. Dish Season 8 is finally here, and we’re kicking things off with acting icons Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman!
Nick and Angela welcome the pair, who star together in The Roses — a fresh reimagining of the 1989 film War of the Roses, playing a gloriously dysfunctional married couple. It’s available to watch in cinemas now.
It’s food and drinks galore at Dish HQ! We begin with pretzels, gin and tonics and a modified Hugo Spritz for Olivia, before serving a glass of Terre di Vita Organic Zibibbo Sicilia with roast spatchcock chicken, spiced with coriander, red chilli and charred limes. Angela adds french fries on the side and sprouting broccoli, sautéed with soy sauce, sesame oil and salt.
Across the episode, we get the full picture of their special friendship, with Benedict and Olivia spilling the details: what happens when you eat too many lentils on set, dressing up as Chewbacca for Halloween, and how their on-screen partnership finally came together. We also get Benedict’s incredible list of food likes and dislikes, hear about his unexpected stint as a sous chef, and discover just how much Olivia loves EVERY Sunday roast. It’s good to be back.
You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help. Send your dilemmas to dish@waitrose.co.uk and she’ll try to answer in a future episode.

Love spatchcocking. I’ve always found it easier to break down the chicken into parts that way
I thought Benedict was vegan?? Or did he stop?
Mmmmmm
❤❤
I am allergic to garlic but for this I would suffer a bit
The water molecules in my mouth are very social all of a sudden.
Did the chicken go in the pan at fridge temperature or did she leave it to get to room temp?
Now after watching the show with Benedict and Olivia I cant' stop repeating 'Spatchcock' when you say it. Damm you Benedict ! 🧐
Blunt force trauma chicken .. .
Alternative to coriander ???
Looks delicious 😋! Thanks for this amazing recipe, we will definitely be trying this one out as a family ❤
Confused. I thought Cumberbatch was vegan. Haven’t seen the episode yet.
Hate Coriander, can I use parsley?
that looks horrid. Cant believe people eat dead flesh
Josh Weissman did a video recently talking about how food programs are not what they used to be and they are no longer engaging, you guys have figured out a way to turn a food program into something that is both educaitonal and entertaining. Great job to whoever came up with this idea.
❤❤❤
How great would it be if you had Nigella Lawson on the show
Butter and red colour somewhere anywhere..
Doing that tonight!!
Thank You Angela 😊
Why are they always cooking for well off celebs like this pair who could afford to eat anywhere they want, better cooking for those less fortunate
SpongeBob Chicken? 😅
Angela doesn’t like corianda
Benedict cumberbatch has been a vegan since 2017.. Didn't anybody check that before feeding him chicken
I was looking forward to this recipe since the previews came out but will have to omit the coriander.
I’ll still try it tho.
Salt ?
Simple when you know how 😊
Odd…most chickens I meet already don’t have a backbone
Awww, the Parsons nose! Reminds me of my great grandmother, the youngest of 8 kids, said she only ever got the Parsons nose when they had chicken. I was obviously confused and slightly terrified, so I asked her what that was, "the part that went over the fence last"😂
Im such a Benedict, Cumberbihch
I wish my phone would 3D print out this meal so I could eat it now lol, it looks so delicious and Italianesque, all those flavours and herbs.
Mmmm fantastic 😍😍😍🎉
With all due respect, replace the sunflower oil with something that isn't poison, like olive oil, then you've got a good recipe. Seed oils are basically poison to your body.
ange knew the crew would laugh and still called them juveniles 😂 oh i love the fun times they have on set, they’ve really formed a close bond!!
Amazing dish , my next dinner project I think ❤
You make It look so easy!!!!🎉
“45 minutes to an hour” AFTER FRYING IT for several minutes?? Nice bit of leather!!
Getting a bit spatch chicken?? Worst
Epid
Sode
War of the Roses 🌹
She’s a Michelin star chef but she fails to realise that spreading marinade on top of skin does nothing to the meat under the skin. For a truly marinated chicken, stab it all over and spread the marinade under the skin and any leftover marinade you can put on top of the skin. Try that chicken!
Mouthwateringly Delicious!!!
yum yum yum
Be aware Waitrose is selling you halal slaughtered meat. It's absolutely appalling there are no symbols on front of the packs to warn me what I'm buying.
😋
That's gotta be a bland chicken, didn't see her put any salt or seasoning 😢😢😢
Remind me of grilled chicken in Thailand that I ate with papaya salad. So good!.
Why would you use seed -vegetable oil???? Puts me off. Ballymaloe chef told me she never has it in her kitchen!!!
