Anyone else watch last night?
I used to find this show quite funny, but the previous episode about New Years' Eve and last night's episode about food were really short on laughs.
I noticed that no mention was made about Come Dine With Me's influence on modern attitudes to food. I know this is a BBC show, but I thought they were supposed to be impartial. Maybe they didn't want to pay Channel 4 for the rights to show clips.
I'm still waiting for Neil Morrisey and Russell Kane to say something amusing.

... don't hold your breath!
Yes i didnt find it funny, as the jokes have all been said before about food/wine snobs and pretentious recipe names etc. Just really boring. Come dine with me does a far better job.
I won't be watching any others in the series.
Oh I don't know - I smiled at his joke about playing Revels roulette with his mates with nut allergies.
Didn't watch it, just wondering what exactly is the effect of Come Dine with me on modern attitudes to food?
How many people do you think actually watch Come Dine with Me?
Now it just feels forced and laboured. Feels more like painfully ignorant on-the-spot responses from people who clearly make terrible social commentators to things they're being shown on cue cards.
Certainly not getting the wry observational humour the show obviously needs.
I watched a few of the celeb ones, well tried to only stuck it out with a couple.
The one with the Ex-england footballers (Carlton Palmer, Razor Ruddock, etc) was a good craic.
That's about it though, it's the comic asides from the narrator that make that show IMO.
True - I have an intolerance to lactose and I get quite a bad reaction. It was making my life quite difficult until I found out what the problem was.
How old were those clips of Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay :eek:
Yeah, that hacked me off too. I'm quite happy to eat the foods I have a reaction to and then spend the next 16 hours vomiting on them if it'll prove it's not a made up condition.
