Come Dine with Me
On Channel 4
A long-running competitive cooking reality show where amateur hosts are gently roasted by dry narration, balancing light social stakes with the reassurance of a weekly reset and a clear winner.
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.
