    I’m fairly certain it isn’t the last series. They are looking for participants in Thanet, Southend-on-Sea, Watford & St Albans, Stoke-on-Trent, Grimsby & Scunthorpe, or Doncaster and have already found people to take part in programmes from Sheffield, Cardiff, Dudley, North Somerset, Cheltenham, South Manchester, South East London and Darlington.

    Thanks, no idea why I thought it was ending :confused:
    I guess when we heard the news of some C4 shows ending, I had Come Dine on my mind at the same time :D

    Starter: chicken salad with tarragon with a Quorn option for Spencer.
    Main:beef stroganoff with a mushroom version for Spencer.
    Dessert: profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.

    Gill’s recipes.

    Spencer, Sophie, Richard and Gabrielle arrive.

    The guests decide that Gill’s handbags are fakes from Turkey.

    Sophie didn’t like the starter, Gabrielle did.
    Sophie didn’t like the main, Gabrielle thought it had been cooked for too long.
    They liked the pudding. Richard was really impressed.

    Scores: Sophie , 7; Gabrielle, 8; Spencer, 7; Richard, 8. Total: 30.

    Thank you. I don’t need to do a lot for this programme because the web support is good. Petty the same can’t be said for some BBC programmes.

    Yes, please. I've moved to a part of Switzerland where I can't get Channel 4 any more and would appreciate being able to follow vicariously. Thanks, Gemo, your commentaries certainly tallied with the series I saw.

    I wish they would do one from Cornwall, the closest they have come is Plymouth in Devon, and don't seem to want to touch Cornwall with a barge pole :(
    Anyway, back to tonight's show. I thought the host looked like a fat Gillian Taylforth crossed with Stifler's mom.
    And the horsey girl boasting about being a kept woman was awful :rolleyes:

    I think in general they only tend to go to big towns and cities where enough people apply to go on within a reasonably short travelling distance, so that rules Cornwall out really - a shame as I would love to see a CDWM from Camborne or Penryn - that would be worth watching for sure!

    so cdwm is looking for participants in thanet.that will be a joy to watch as most of the people in thanet esp margate wouldnt even know what a dining table is.imagine they will either serve chips with anything from iceland or buy it in from a take away.

    Sophie has to unearth horseradish for Gill and manages to unearth some from her sugar daddy’s hi-tech kitchen.

    The guests liked the beef but noticed the unwashed carrots and the brocolli was overcooked.

    She reveals she has a secret crush on Jonathan Davies (Alan Davies).

    They found the pudding large and rich.

    Scores: Richard, 7; Gabrielle, 7; Spencer, 5; Gill, 5. Total: 24.
