Gordon Ramsay's Lancs and Lakes nightmares including 'sex shop' restaurant

It's been nearly 20 years since Gordon Ramsay headed to these Lancashire and Cumbria venues to help get them back on their feet.

This year, we've taken a look back at the episodes in Lancaster, in Blackpool and Ambleside and what went down. And here's a round-up of how the restaurants have fared since. Early on, we learn Brian has 30 years experience in the kitchen and running pubs alongside Elaine, but that they are currently losing £1,500 a week in their Lancashire pub.

On Bank Holiday Sunday, the pub is empty and Gordon takes their thick, tar-like gravy that you could "retile the roof with" from the kitchen to cover up a pothole in the car park. To tackle the emptiness of the pub on Sundays, Gordon comes up with a campaign of being known for the best gravy in the area, which sees them cheering and chanting through the village.

Clubway 41, Blackpool Insults flew in the hot kitchen of 'Blackpool's best restaurant' after Gordon Ramsay paid it a visit. The episode of his visit to the seaside resort's Clubway 41 appeared on our screens in 2006. It's agreed the restaurant will be renamed Jacksons before the hard work of teaching the ailing head chef how to cook before the next night's service for 50 guests begins. It's here where the two chefs hot tempers bring the already simmering kitchen to the point of boiling over.

Months later, the top TV chef returns to see how Dave and Dawn are faring in the recently transformed Jacksons restaurant. Things, however, have not gone well. Head Chef Richard Collins, who trained at Claridges, couldn't get any of his kitchen staff to respect him and spent much of the episode trying, but failing dismally, to follow Gordon's advice. Soon after the episode starts, the camera shows a table of unhappy customers as Gordon tells us restaurant owner Neil is "about to crack up".
