Come Dine with Me

All in One: Stamford (29x16)

:

Come Dine with Me begins in Stamford, Lincolnshire, where the first host is retired aerobics instructor Sue Quinn. Arriving at her door is snobby publican Michael Birt, florist Sophie Cullumbine and foodie Adam Baxter. Sue kicks off the week with a riotous night that sees her immediately clicking with Sophie. Adam thinks he knows why, observing that the pair are the young and old version of effectively the same person - and what's more, he and Michael can't get a word in edgeways. Michael attempts to bring a touch of class to proceedings on his night, with upmarket food and conversation. Sophie, however, has other ideas and is equally as outrageous as on the first night; even Sue despairs of her. When it's Sophie's turn, she realises she needs to reign herself in and be the hostess with the mostess. The boys warm to her over the course of the evening, but after offering up a surprising and unique squirrel dish, the food misfires spectacularly. On the final night, foodie Adam is supremely confident, but a kitchen clanger and a dodgy stomach means it could be an uphill struggle for him to walk away with the £1000.
