Come Dine with Me

2005 · 51 seasons

A breezy, bitchy dinner-party contest where snarky narration turns petty cooking rivalries into easy, giggly comfort viewing.

Overview: Amateur chefs compete against each other by hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, light and campy. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Work, class, identity, friendship
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
