come dine with me in Dulwich

[hat282]

Ok so my small daughter has just informed that her best friends Grandpa is on CDWM on Sunday 23rd May - is this the long awaited Dulwich episode?

[Narnia]

I think there's already thread on this subject which may have some more info. I don't know the programme so don't have a clue.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Keep up, Narnia, that's a radio quiz.

[Narnia]

What's this?

Looks like it could be - tvguide.co.uk is listing it as CDWM in South East London.

Oh what fun.....I love Come Dine with me!

And so do my 2 children.....I think they (and me I suppose!!) like it best when everyone hates each other....we do love it for the food too, honest!

Last night's one.. was Oliver the aforementioned grandpa? He seemed like a sweet old gent! I quite liked all of yesterday's diners, except the joyless arty young fella who did that annoying "apologetic" face every time he moaned about what everyone else was doing. Couldn't spot any local landmarks - except maybe St Giles' churchyard in Camberwell?

[Gubodge]

Oliver was filmed in the Picture Gallery. I wondered if there had been some internal shots in the Horniman but the display cabinets seemed to be in the wrong positions so it may have been elsewhere.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Anyone who calls themselves eccentric isn't.

[genwilliams]

We thought we saw the Picture Gallery!

The place with the display cabinets; I thought that was part of a gallery along Camberwell Road as I have been somewhere similar. (Another reason why it seemed likely they also used St Giles when they filmed John.)

[Mike]

See Gen - told you it was the Picture Gallery! :-)

[genwilliams]

I never said it wasn't!

Cuh....

Wasn't it the Hornimans?

[GinaG3]

It was, they have just been moving everything around over the last couple of months. The other day all the animals were on the side being clean - ERGH!

[genwilliams]

Aha!

They all got along rather too well even with the inclusion of so called eccentric bloke. That meant the commentary was dull. Anyway, it was CDWM South East London, not Dulwich. Don't think it was terribly representative of South East London. Could have done a lot better. I think the ones from outside London are much more amusing.

The whole show isn?t what it was ? they are churning them out much faster than they used to and the whole thing has become too knowing and formulaic. Regardless of location, the narrator long ago sounded like he is ready for a different gig

He was on top form for the Celebrity edition with Barrymore though.

I watched it the other night and quickly realised that the girl participating in it (Ita) I'd met a few times where she'd sung at a mutual friends parties. A lovely girl and very glad she won it seeing as it was going to help pay for her wedding.

William Rose on East Dulwich grove had a sign up a while back that there would be filming in there for come dine with me. I thought it might be on this episode, unless they deleted it. Dissapointed didn't see many landmarks to show it was dulwich or even south london.

They used to do one meal per day on the show, so we had half hour to focus on the host and it would go more into details such as where they shopped for their food, a tour of their house and so on but now they have compressed them all into a one hour show they have cut so many bits out, I don't like the new format, I prefer it spread over the course of the week.
