Q: Which of Gordon Ramsay's many shows was his first to hit TV?
That depends on whose TV you mean.
Scotland-born Gordon Ramsay's TV career began, unsurprisingly, in Britain. Thus, his first TV series was the 1999 documentary miniseries "Boiling Point," which followed him as he opened one of his hugely successful restaurants, back when he was only famous as a restaurateur and chef.
That was his first series, but his first TV stardom came in 2004 when he launched the U.K. versions of both "Hell's Kitchen" and "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares."
