Come Dine with Me

All in One: Comedians Christmas Special (24x23)

Air date: Dec 23, 2011

Four comedians do culinary battle for charity. Going head-to-head in this festive special are Sean Hughes, Gina Yashere, Paul Tonkinson and Duncan Norvelle. Sean serves up a non-festive, nonsense-sounding menu of `squibby's delight', `mumsy's surprise' and `Irish odlums', all containing the same ingredient - home-made vegetarian stew. He also hires a Smiths tribute band for entertainment. Duncan Norvelle's night includes a live nativity scene, a Cliff Richard impersonator, opera singers and fireworks. But how does his cooking hold up? Paul Tonkinson impresses with his home-made cooking and some feel-good Christmas carol singers, while Gina lays on a risky raw-food menu, some festive fancy dress and a group dance with a gospel choir.
