Gordon, Hugh and Jamie serve up an exciting autumn Daytime schedule

All good things come in threes, or so they say, and this autumn Channel 4 has a trio of tasty delights in store set to brighten up those dark and cold afternoons.

For the first time, three of the channel's most popular and well-known chefs join Daytime to shake up the afternoon with three brand new series that prove quick and simple cooking is best.

First up, Gordon Ramsay gets back to basics and attempts to make good cooks out of us all in Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course. Straight from the River Cottage farm, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall sticks to the mantra that three is best in Hugh's 3 Good Things. And building on the huge success of Jamie's 30 Minute Meals, Jamie Oliver makes a triumphant return, taking fast food to a new level in Jamie's 15 Minute Meals.

Meanwhile, some of Daytime's favourite faces will return including Phil Spencer Secret Agent, Noel Edmonds and the Banker continue to test the nerves of contestants in Deal or No Deal, and Nick Hewer and Rachel Riley get the party-poppers out to see Countdown, Channel 4's longest running programme, celebrate its 30th birthday in November.
