Хороший дом (2021)

First to host is full-time mum Lydia Jones. She's opted for some French recipes that, although tried before, she's never had any success with. Her guests' responses aren't ideal: dental nurse Donna tries to work out what a canard is; hairdresser Marcello is convinced that Lydia is serving grated toast; and artist Anthony is confused by every course. As the evening starts, Ramsgate's 'most stylish man' Marcello wastes no time offending everyone he meets with cutting comments about their appearance. So, will Lydia manage to smooth the ruffled feathers with her French feast, or will they all just be rowing by the end of the first night?

It's arrogant hairdresser Marcello Marino's turn to entertain in Kent. He's really going to have to turn on the charm if he wants to win, having offended each guest last night, so he's hoping to impress with his Italian/Spanish menu - and salsa dance display. But the sound of his 'Lasagne a la Mia Mamma' main doesn't quite inspire his guests, and his starter leaves nearly everyone stumped as to what it is. The guests are amazed at what they find when they snoop around Marcello's bedroom and the risqué artwork on his walls. And, though the atmosphere is better than the previous night, the evening is destined to take a turn for the worse, leaving the host in a bit of a state. Can Marcello turn things round with a salsa dancing intermission? Or will his guests see through his veneer of vulnerability and go for the kill?

It's day three on the Kent coast and the host, Margate girl Donna Grieves, is hoping to impress with her locally sourced ingredients and a best-of-British menu. Unfortunately for Donna, Italian hairdresser Marcello is proving hard to please and, after yesterday's near-perfect manners when he was host, he's immediately back to his bad old ways. Anthony's attempt to lighten the mood with a startling revelation doesn't help matters, and things go from bad to worse when Donna gets all emotional over some news of her own. As Donna grows tired and weary, her dessert hits the deck, leaving one guest to eat pudding off the floor - much to Marcello's amusement.

Day four in Kent and experimental artist Anthony Wait is hosting. In truly alternative fashion, he's opted not to practise his cooking beforehand and just see what happens on the night. He also hopes to get his guests interested in his new art project, which uses body parts. Marcello spot-checks the house for dirt and dust, which upsets one of the other guests and causes a row. But Anthony has plotted revenge on the lippy hairdresser, and plans to make the troublemaker squirm with embarrassment. Will Anthony's improvised food prove a hit with his guests and give him a chance of grabbing the £1000 prize, or will their creative differences prove too hard to swallow?

It's the final night in Kent, and building boss - and confirmed foodie - Chris Newbold has the last opportunity to grab the prize. But he's also determined that Italian Marcello won't spoil the evening with his usual insults. Armed with a few choice words and a sophisticated, international menu, Chris hopes to impress his guests and keep Marcello in check. However, leaving much of his cooking until the guests are seated, Chris is taking quite a risk. And will Marcello's attempt to sweeten the others with gifts to win them over, or will they finally tell him exactly what they think? This is Chris' opportunity to win the £1000 prize, but only if he pulls off his challenging menu and impresses the pickiest guest of all.

A week of dining in East Lancashire with quite a lot of kissing, much belching and an unannounced twin. One of the funniest episodes of Come Dine with Me, this features the hilarious antics of mayoress Carol Stinton, perma-tanned hairdresser Jonny Kemp, spiritualist Sue Hartley and the plumber with Victorian values Nick Holt.

Part-time model, journalist and poet Azzi Kalili is first up in west London. Persian Aussie Azzi hosts her dinner party in a Moroccan marquee in her garden - on a cold London winter's night.

It's the second day of the competition and host plumber Steve Capel has a bit of an accident preparing his favourite dish, an African roulade of ostrich, kudu and springbok. Later on when he attempts a show featuring his nunchuks, Steve's routine is cut short by an injury to his thumb that causes carnage in the living room. Can he recover from these setbacks?

It's the turn of ex-wedding planner Zae, who hopes to impress with his wedding-style menu and his attention to detail. But when the guests arrive, things don't run quite as smoothly as the perfectionist host envisaged.

Events organiser Emma Boardman Magliocchetti is the latest host. The only issue is that Emma has never actually cooked a three course meal before in her life. Recently-married Emma wants to prove to her new Italian husband, and her guests, that she can be a perfect wife and create an incredible Italian feast. Will Emma's glamorous hostessing skills impress them all? Or will her picky behaviour over the previous few nights come back to haunt her?

Last to host in west London is busy mum Jane Welch, who's feeling the pressure as she's out of practice at hosting dinner parties. Fits of nerves are just the first of Jane's hurdles, because her adventurous menu may not be to everyone's taste. The night kicks off with the guests in fancy dress, but soon everyone's enjoying the first-class food. Compliments begin to flow, quickly followed by Jane's tears when she's overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

Plastic surgery fan Jo Allen takes on self-confessed `hairy-bummed roofer' Nigel Reid, Rocky Horror-obsessed drag queen Justin Hussey, and saleswoman Margaret Hope, in a week of fights and lost tempers.

Marketing manager Stephanie Hale goes head-to-head with local councillor Alex Foster, beauty therapist Janice Overton, project engineer Brian Hodges, and party animal (and business manager) Barry Dickman. Stephanie is a great cook and she also knows how to mix a mean cocktail. But one of her guests can't stomach her prawns, while another has trouble working out what an artichoke is.
