Come Dine with Me

Come Dine with Me is a British reality series that has aired on Channel 4 since 10 January 2005 and is narrated by Dave Lamb.

Format The original format features four/five amateur chefs who live in the same town or area, who each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home over successive episodes. Each competitor then rates the host's food and hosting skills during the taxi journey home, with the highest-scoring chef winning £1,000 cash at the end of the four/five-episode cycle. If more than one competitor receives the highest tied score, the cash is divided between them. The show often features guests with clashing personalities.

Episodes produced for primetime broadcast feature four contestants over a single hour-long episode.

Dave Lamb provides a voiceover, which sometimes includes sarcastic comments on the chefs' food and interior design.
