Come Dine With Me in Bristol this week as show pairs ravers with jazz band leader

The long-running cooking reality programme and British cultural institution, Come Dine with Me, is in Bristol this week. It looks to be a barrel of laughs as it throws a real mix of guests, such as Jade - a "big kid and party girl" - in with Adam Tutton, chief executive of Bristol Rovers Community Trust.

In the programme, five guests take it in turns to host a dinner party complete with a three course meal and provided entertainment. Exactly what the entertainment and food will be is entirely down to the host, so they must ensure that all their guests are suitably catered for and enjoying themselves as they battle it out for a £1,000 prize.

The episodes will run from Monday to Friday, which each day's showing consisting of one of the five contestant's evenings. Today's episode (February 6) is on at 5.30pm on Channel 4, and in it we see "party girl" Jade play hostess, with her night being heavily themed around the theme of a festival.

She also plays tribute to Bristol's famed underground music scene as the guests' entertainment consists of a "drum and bass rave".

Tomorrow, we will see Adam Tutton's attempt at hosting and amusing his guests. Not much has been revealed just yet about what's in store for us, but it looks like he themes his night around his true passion - football.

Later on in the week, we will then see Jack, who is the leader of a jazz band, who hosts a "night of vintage couture, sophistication and class", which sounds like the polar opposite of Jade. With such a broad spectrum of guests, we can be almost certain that not everyone will be happy.

Come Dine with Me has spawned many arguments, confrontations or moments of madness which have since become enshrined as exemplars of modern-day British culture.

One of the most famous was disgruntled contestant Peter Marsh's outburst when a fellow guest, Jane, won. In his view this was undeserved, and what soon followed instantly became a meme:

"You won, Jane," Peter spat. "Enjoy the money, I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life, Jane.

"You ruined my night completely, so you could have the money. But I hope now you spend it on some lessons in grace and decorum, because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on."

Come Dine with Me is on every day this week at 5.30pm on Channel 4.
