‘Come Dine With Me’: Why Enduring 20-Year-Old Format Is “The Quickest Way To Understand The Brits” & How Narrator Dave Lamb Prepares
Dave Lamb of 'Come Dine With Me' narrator fame has talked about the Channel 4 show and discussed its 20th anniversary.
Ramping things up a bit, Dave Lamb, who has narrated almost every single one of the circa-2,500 Come Dine With Me UK episodes, compares the show to Danny Boyle’s memorable London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. Lamb counts a man who served sushi on the bare chest of another person as his weirdest moment, along with a contestant’s pet snake defecating on a table, while Hainault recalls a host who watered down everyone’s wine glass when he realized he had run out of red. Tom Clark, ITVS’ EVP Global Sales & Commercial Strategy, tells Deadline the show “taps into our natural human desire to peek behind closed doors into the lives of others, but with the additional factor of the pressure of hosting a winning dinner party for complete strangers.”
