One Potato Two Potato is a joint venture production company founded by Gordon Ramsay and Optomen Television which exclusively produces all of Ramsay's new worldwide audio visual output. Renowned for high quality programming, OPTP has produced hit series on both sides of the Atlantic. In 2010 OPTP joined the All3Media group.
One Potato’s LA office is run by Vice President, Programs and Development Adeline Ramage Rooney who oversees all US production and executive produces major US projects.
In September 2011 the company announced it was in production on Hotel Hell (working title) for FOX. In the new unscripted series, Ramsay and his team of hospitality experts will travel across the country to fix failing hotels, mediocre motels and bad bed & breakfasts. To get to grips with the problems, Ramsay will endure hotels at their worst so you don't have to. From dirty bedrooms and mold-ridden bathrooms to incompetent staff or customer service that’s not up to par, Ramsay and his team will work with the hotel owners and employees to turn these hapless establishments around.
The company’s first US series was Masterchef for FOX. The culinary competition series takes wannabe chefs who cook as a hobby and transforms one of them a Masterchef. The show stars Gordon Ramsay who also serves as an Executive Producer. The second season has just finished on FOX and garnered huge ratings.
One Potato Two Potato's UK office is just finishing production on My Kitchen, a major new series for UKTV Good Food. My Kitchen is a 40 episode prime time series that sees ten top chefs, including Antonio Carluccio and Angela Hartnett, cooking the dishes they love to cook in their home kitchens, and sharing the secrets of their lives in food. Gordon Ramsay brings his experience to bear as one of the show’s Executive Producers. OPTP UK is also in production on a new series for Channel 4 – as yet unannounced – which will see Gordon enter a completely different world and attempt to bring about radical improvements.
One Potato Two Potato has a number of other projects in development – both in the food genre and outside of it – in the UK, USA and Australia.
About One Potato Two Potato
Renowned for high quality programming, OPTP has produced hit series on both sides of the Atlantic.
One Potato's first major UK series commission was Cookalong Live (7 x 60') for Channel 4. The series built on the success of Gordon's first live Cookalong that achieved an audience of over 4.5 million viewers and encouraged people across the country to cook with Gordon, live. The Cookalong format has generated great interest around the world and Optomen International (who represent the format on behalf of OPTP) have successfully sold the format across Europe and into the US. The US “Cookalong Live” (One Potato’s first US show) aired in 2009 on FOX and was a huge success in getting people across America cooking. The latest country to embrace the magic of the Cookalong format is Israel where a local production will air in Autumn 2011.
Back in the UK One Potato Two Potato have successfully produced two series of Gordon's Great Escape, Ramsay’s Best Restaurant a huge restaurant competition series, and Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Christmas, Gordon's most instructional food series yet, in which he shared a lifetime of chef's secrets and explained how they translate to the home so everyone can cook the perfect food over Christmas, without breaking the bank or getting stressed.
