Come Dine With Four in a Bed

Can't make up my mind which I prefer - Come Dine With Me or Four In A Bed. Since I am a big people-watcher (stick me on a bench in Leicester Square and I would keep myself amused for ages) both of these shows hold a great amount of appeal.

Why do I like Come Dine With Me? It has the basic premise of the cookery show but more than that - you get to snoop around the cook's home while he/she is sweating over a hot Aga. It's like Fanny Craddock and Through The Keyhole rolled into one.

I was very fortunate to meet one of the winners of this show a while back and he cooked for me - a short trip to Liverpool and I was in food heaven.

What makes Four In A Bed so special? Well, as the late great Frankie Howerd said "two's company, three's tiring" so it would follow that four would be just plain greedy. However, dubious title aside, I find this show amazing in that so many of the contestants actually lift up the bed frame and pull out all the drawers to check for dust. Unbelievable! If I was going to enter this competition, I would make damn sure my drawers were spotless.
