  Simon has just spotted this - "Come Dine With Me" on Channel 4 at 8pm
  
  Four amateur cooks from the Kent towns of Folkestone and Dover compete to win the £1,000 prize in the culinary challenge. Self-confessed witch Lisa Mansfield, eccentric 70-year-old Janet Cripps, parish priest Andy Bawtree and businessman John George take turns hosting dinner parties featuring an Abba tribute band, a song about cowboys, a 1950s-themed evening and a Downton Abbey dress code
  
  We'll be watching!

  Story about it in the Mercury last week and this week. River vicar is competing against a witch, an eccentric pensioner and a businessman, and the entertainment they each provide looks fun. Should be a good programme.

  forgot all about it, looked in once for a few minutes and thought it was an example of modern day dumbed down television.
  
  glad to see that the reverand came across well though.

  I watched it and suffered a little by way of research. It was not one of the better episodes.
  
  The Rev came across very well and John George too made a decent fist of the whole thing. I'd better stop there.
  Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

  Here are a couple of pictures from yours trulys trusty oul camera.
  
  

  

  
  
  The Reverend Andy pictured above, checks out the delights of the menu to come, and is less than enthralled about its content. Hmmmm. When he revealed all to the gathered group, that he was in fact a Minister in the Church of England..exuberant witch, pictured below, gushingly overflowed and indeed even burst forth with emotion, and clasped Andy's hands to her booosom.
  
  

  

  
  
  She mysteriously disappeared half way through the programme. Whooosh! just like that.

  Ah nooo, Im afraid I channel hopped a wee bit and didnt see the pink wig. By the time I hopped back the witch as pictured above was looking slightly the worse for alcoholic wear and was popping out of her dress even more than in the shot above...I didnt know where to look so I didnt, and neither did the Rev, she vanished shortly afterwards.
  
  This is a game Rev and no mistake..have met him several times..not least the time he took to the stage with BuddyG at Crabble Corn Mill and downed a whole pint to loud applause in a mere few seconds. I cant remember how few seconds it was now, but quite a show and all the more hair-raising him being a vicar. I have a picture of that somewhere but way way back in the archives. game boy!
