Come Dine with Me is an E4 cooking programme shown in the United Kingdom. It was produced by ITV Studios (formerly known as Granada) until 2013, when Shiver Productions took over. The first broadcast was in London, January 2005. The show has either four or five amateur chefs, who must host a dinner party for the other contestants and are from a specific region (different each week). Sometimes people are placed together as they have opposing opinions and views. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash, which is announced by the competitor who hosts the last dinner party of the week. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a curt, sarcastic and ironic narration.

The Paul O'Grady Show is a British comedy chat show presented by comedian Paul O'Grady, first shown on 11 October 2004. The programme is a teatime chat show consisting of a mixture of celebrity guests, comic stunts, musical performances, and occasionally viewer competitions.
