00:01On today's show, marital match-ups.
00:04I actually live separately from my husband.
00:07They're going to be married forever, those two.
00:10Well, amazing errors.
00:12I've never been skilled at hand-eye coordination,
00:15so obviously when I go like that, I think that's fine.
00:18And passionate pastry.
00:20Amazing.
00:21As five hungry hosts hash it out for a handful of cold hard cash.
00:26Hey, sunshine, hop on the back. We're going for a ride.
00:30Meow.
00:36It's the second night of the competition from South Wales,
00:40home to the Royal Mint that produces a whopping three billion coins a year.
00:45Or thereabouts.
00:48And hoping to be quits in with his menu of fine dining
00:52is tonight's host, Account Manager Richard.
00:55My night's all about having fun, good food, fine dining.
00:58I've made everything from scratch,
01:00so if people can appreciate that,
01:02then there's no reason I shouldn't get a good score.
01:06First night host Claire...
01:08There you go, my lovely.
01:09..was over the moon with her night and her home-reared Scotch eggs.
01:13I loved my night last night.
01:15It couldn't have gone any better.
01:17It was everything that I hoped it would be.
01:19How good does my Scotch egg?
01:20It's like a great cat.
01:22However, civil servant Sandra wasn't overly egg-cited.
01:27No.
01:29Personally, I liked my yolk hard.
01:32I thought, OK, I can live with it being a bit runny.
01:34However, underneath there, there's a little bit of the white where that was a bit...
01:38And I was thinking, I can't do that.
01:39And it was the size of Claire's cottage pie main course
01:43that defeated hotel receptionist Davith.
01:45The mash on top is just so complimentary.
01:48The bowl was so deep.
01:50It had so much cottage pie in there.
01:52I felt so bad for wasting it.
01:54Children's doctor Sophie may have had eyes bigger than her belly.
01:57There was so much...
01:58I genuinely had stomach cramps.
02:00I looked pregnant.
02:01Like, I was fully, you know, a good, like, six months gone.
02:04But the cure could have been right under her nose with Claire's crystals.
02:08Do you feel different?
02:10Yes.
02:10I would have had to ask Claire what one's good for, you know, de-bloating.
02:14Go!
02:15Come on, Kate!
02:16And there was a warning for the week ahead from Sandra.
02:19Davith, he's off the planet and I love him.
02:22I have a ski slope.
02:24Black ice is on that nose.
02:25There'll be a black eye, not black ice!
02:27He'll bring the bad out of me, Will, because he's naughty.
02:32Intriguing.
02:33All of which gave Claire a score of 29 out of 40.
02:37I'm feeling so confident about my dinner party tonight.
02:39I'm going to go to the pub.
02:40See you later.
02:43Oh!
02:44Well, still a bit early for me.
02:46Ah, it's just next door.
02:49Great Scott, they've given him a key.
02:54Right, no place like my own pub.
02:56Let's get cracking.
02:57This explains a lot.
02:59First on Richard's pub grub menu is dessert.
03:01Caramel biscuit cheesecake with homemade ice cream.
03:04Oh, no, he's doing a cheesecake.
03:07Ooh, that's going to be some tasting competition there for me.
03:12This dessert is fine dining.
03:13It looks like it's been made in a restaurant and it is je ne sais quoi.
03:18My way, Ricardo, my way.
03:21Richard starts by walloping ginger biscuits for the base.
03:25I'm on for luck.
03:26I do love a cheesecake and anything with caramel in is delightful.
03:31So, yes.
03:32Yeah, good dessert choice.
03:34He gets stuck in using a rather snazzy gadget.
03:38Good for the guns.
03:40He pours in melted butter and presses into the tin.
03:44Like, I love a strong biscuit base.
03:48Like, nothing gives me more satisfaction than a biscuit base.
03:51The strong biscuit base goes into set.
03:55For the topping, Richard Spoon's cream cheese,
03:58double cream and some shop-bought caramel sauce.
04:02This is the messy part.
04:04I love things caramelly, so I'm going to really enjoy that.
04:08Everything is given a good old whisk.
04:10Love caramel, love biscuit, love ice cream.
04:13That's awesome.
04:14And the creamy topping is then spooned onto the gingery base.
04:19Look at that.
04:20Winner, winner.
04:21Chicken dinner.
04:22It's a cheesecake, but let's not fall out.
04:24Happy with that.
04:25And it's in to chill until opening time.
04:29Everyone's going to be impressed with my homemade ice cream.
04:32Who can be if somebody's made it from scratch?
04:35You don't often eat homemade ice cream these days, you.
04:37I've actually made my own banana ice cream before.
04:39Oh, make sure you tell Richard.
04:42I don't like milk, so most of the things in this dessert, I don't like.
04:47First, unliked ingredient, double cream.
04:51Not for us doing that either.
04:53Then, even worse, a tin of condensed milk.
04:57It's given a whisk.
04:59Well done for making homemade ice cream.
05:02Will it be homemade?
05:03We'll see.
05:04And this is fine-dine ice cream.
05:07The ice cream goes into the freezer to do its thing.
05:12On to the starter.
05:14Welsh goat's cheese tart with caramelised onion.
05:19Yeah, I love a bit of goat's cheese.
05:20I make goat's cheese parcels a lot with my red onion chuckle.
05:24So this is nice.
05:25I didn't want to go down the route of something simple like soup.
05:28I wanted to go outside my comforts.
05:30I want to do something I've never done before.
05:31For the pastry, Richard adds butter to lard and flour.
05:36I mean, it's quite easy to make pastry.
05:38I mean, you just took some flour, water and some butter in a bowl
05:40and you've got your pastry.
05:43They're going to love it.
05:45I like goat's cheese tart and caramelised onion together.
05:49That's fab.
05:50The pastry goes in for a rest.
05:53Next, the red onion chutney.
05:55And more exercise for those gums.
05:58Well, that seems a lot of work.
05:59Nice tool there.
06:00Respect.
06:02The onions go into a pan with brown sugar and are left to soften.
06:06I love goat's cheese.
06:08Mmm.
06:09Mmm.
06:10And this goat's cheese is mixed with egg.
06:13Then the pastry is rolled out.
06:14And these are going to be the best tartlets they've ever tasted.
06:17Let's wait and see, shall we?
06:20I think he'll make his own pastry.
06:22He was all over me yesterday asking,
06:24is this homemade? Did you make this?
06:27Once cooked, they're filled with the chutney and goat's cheese.
06:30Get in there.
06:31Come on, bring it on.
06:34He'll give them a bake just before serving.
06:38On to the main.
06:39Welsh sea bass with dauphinoise, potatoes, mushrooms and spinach.
06:45I'm not confident that everyone's going to like fish.
06:47However, at least if they give it a try, I've had people try my fish that I've cooked at sea
06:52bass and they've enjoyed it.
06:53I've never tasted sea bass because I'm not huge on fish.
06:56So I'm going to, you know, I'm going to give that a go and see.
06:59I might like it.
07:00The fish will be beautiful.
07:01It'll be nice and soft and tender and well cooked and seasoned.
07:06Oh, if it's got a face, I'm really going to struggle.
07:09Fortunately, they're faceless fish fillets, which will be cooked just before serving.
07:13People will know what dauphinoise potatoes are tonight.
07:16I'm guessing that they've heard of them if not tasted them.
07:20So it would be nice for them to have a try if they haven't tasted it.
07:22Dauphinos? Dauphinos?
07:25There's always one.
07:26The dauphinoise, dauphinoise.
07:29On this occasion, too.
07:32In goes cream.
07:34Garlic.
07:35And this is a bit I'm not going to like.
07:37Brace yourself, Philip.
07:41They're nice and they're creamy and, yes, I like things like that.
07:45Into ramekins, the dauphinoise will be cooked tonight.
07:48All my preps have gone fine.
07:50Couldn't have wished for better.
07:51I'm just looking forward to the night now and sitting down and eating the food I've been cooking all day.
07:55Time for the best dinner party of the week.
07:57Game on.
08:00As Richard ambles next door to get changed, what are his guests hoping for tonight?
08:06I think the night might be a bit more reserved.
08:08I bet he knows a lot more about cooking than he's let on.
08:17Here's to a great night.
08:18I'm off to the pub.
08:20Meet me next door.
08:23First to arrive, Monday's host, Claire.
08:27Hi!
08:27Oh, Claire, come on in.
08:29Welcome to the pub.
08:30Do you OK?
08:30Give me the cuddle.
08:31Oh, thank you.
08:33Welcome, welcome.
08:34Oh, my gosh.
08:36That's a champagne.
08:38Hooray!
08:42She's seen the note.
08:43It's Sandra.
08:44Hello, Sandra.
08:46Oh, you're looking lovely.
08:47Come on in.
08:48They're going to sit in all our matches, citrus colours.
08:51Welcome.
08:51Oh, no.
08:52Here we are.
08:53I went in a pub.
08:54I love it.
08:56Surprise, surprise.
08:57You run a pub?
08:58Yes.
08:59You little dark horse.
09:00Oh, wow.
09:02It blew me away.
09:02I walked in and thought, wow, this is amazing.
09:05Who doesn't want to live in a pub?
09:07I hope it's not our early last orders tonight.
09:10No, I won't ring about it till later.
09:11All right.
09:12Cheers, guys.
09:14Here's Sophie.
09:16Sophie, welcome.
09:18The team out.
09:18Come on in.
09:19Hi.
09:19Nice to see you again.
09:20You OK?
09:21Hello.
09:21Sophie's in the house.
09:22Oh, hi.
09:23Sophie in the house.
09:24Thank you, booze.
09:25It's a pub.
09:26It is literally a pub, isn't it?
09:28We get it.
09:29It's a pub.
09:31And finally, it's Davit.
09:33Davit, my mum.
09:35How are you?
09:35Nice to see you.
09:36I'd recommend you bring it in there.
09:37Hello.
09:38Hi.
09:39You're the main women in my life.
09:41How are you?
09:42Nice to see you.
09:43Nice to see you.
09:44Hello.
09:45Dav, how are you, booze?
09:45Mother-in-law is here.
09:47Oh, Dav, couldn't believe we're in a pub.
09:49I know.
09:49This is actually amazing.
09:51I think when they found out it was a pub and not a house,
09:53they really shocked.
09:54And I think they're really up for it.
09:55Adrenaline's pumping and they buzz another minute.
09:58So, that's a good start to the evening.
09:59How good are you at darts, Richard?
10:01Out of ten, 108!
10:04Yay!
10:07Come on.
10:09Still to come.
10:10Game on.
10:11Truthful tales.
10:13I once accidentally flashed in public.
10:16Nah, it's false.
10:17False?
10:18It's true!
10:19And glamorous game shows.
10:22My chest is hairier than his.
10:26I've never won a cup before.
10:34It's the second night of the competition in South Wales.
10:37Yay!
10:39Where account executive Richard is hoping his night of fine dining,
10:44being hosted in his pub next door to his house,
10:47will win him the cloche full of dosh.
10:50They're a good bunch.
10:51They seem to be enjoying themselves already.
10:53Champagne's flowing, so I'm looking forward to it.
10:55Bring it on.
10:56As he pops his goat's cheese tarts in for a quick peek.
11:00That's it.
11:00Claire, you got this.
11:01Ooh!
11:02Back in the bar, his guests are on the hockey.
11:05Yes!
11:06Let's get that one!
11:08Yay!
11:08Yay!
11:09Oh!
11:13I've never been skilled at hand-eye coordination.
11:16I mean, I can do this quite well.
11:18So obviously when I go like that, I think that's fine.
11:21I remember being very bad at tarts on holiday.
11:25Yes!
11:26But tonight was pretty good.
11:29I didn't hit anybody.
11:31Well, that's a relief.
11:33Oh!
11:35I got an in!
11:37Yay!
11:38Super smashing great.
11:40And you can't beat a bit of twerking.
11:43In the relative safety of the kitchen,
11:45Richard carefully...
11:46Oh!
11:47Plates his tarts.
11:50It's...
11:50Overdone.
11:52Let's play tarts.
11:54It's a bullseye.
11:56Or rather, a Welsh goat's cheese tart
11:58with a side salad of beetroot and a balsamic squirt.
12:02Yay!
12:03Yay!
12:06Oh, that looks delicious!
12:08Oh, wow!
12:10That looks amazing!
12:11Oh, wow!
12:12That looks...
12:13It smells amazing.
12:14It smells like milk.
12:15Crikey!
12:16It's only pastry and goat's cheese.
12:19Oh, it smells amazing, doesn't it?
12:22Dig in and enjoy it.
12:29I actually hate the idea of goat's cheese,
12:32because I actually think it tastes gross.
12:33I don't know what kind of goat's cheese this was.
12:35I think it's because it was Welsh.
12:36But it definitely tasted nice.
12:39Sandra, any thoughts?
12:41Oh, the starter tonight was stunning.
12:46What about you, Claire?
12:47Any good?
12:48I've never had a pastry like that before.
12:50It was really, really good.
12:52Come on, Sophie.
12:53Surprise me.
12:54Amazing!
12:56Amazing!
12:57The pastry was so good.
12:59The flavours...
13:01It was...
13:02It was really, really good.
13:04Amazing.
13:05But after this cheesy loving, talk turns to how Richard got his own pub.
13:10I'd been coming to this pub for 20...
13:1425 years, maybe a bit more.
13:16Played football, came back after for a few pints, you know what it is.
13:19So this is your local?
13:20So this is my local, Donna, my partner now.
13:23Took over 22 years ago, so I was coming here before my partner was.
13:28So 80 months ago, I asked his son to ask Donna, my partner now, out on a date.
13:35So basically you were coming here, and then you ended up meeting your life partner.
13:41Yeah.
13:42Amazing.
13:42That's amazing.
13:43And I knew her for 20-odd years beforehand.
13:46Richard's little love story was just, everyone loves love.
13:49It was lovely to hear how he met his partner.
13:52Aww, lovely!
13:53What would you say you and your partner's favourite thing was to do together?
13:56Favourite thing to do is...
13:58Just dance like nobody's watching.
14:00Just live it, just enjoy it.
14:01That's how it should be.
14:01We laugh, we cry.
14:03What about everybody else?
14:05No, me and my husband live separately.
14:08Oh my God, I love that!
14:09Yeah, but it works!
14:10Wow!
14:11So where does he live then?
14:12He lives at the bottom of the hill, and I live up the top.
14:15Oh!
14:16That's a marriage made in heaven.
14:18Can anyone beat that?
14:20I actually live separately from my husband as well.
14:23And we always have!
14:24No way!
14:24No way!
14:26What are the ruddy chances?
14:28No shared chores.
14:30You know, like, their house is their house, your house is your house.
14:32I love that.
14:33You do you, I'll do me, and we'll come together and just have a bit more of a fun stir.
14:37Oh God!
14:38That's a very modern way of living, isn't it?
14:40If I went home tonight and said, shall we try not living together like the girls?
14:45He'd be, like, well up for it.
14:47Yeah, after 20 years, I've finally got somebody with a pub next door, but if I keep snoring
14:52like I am, I probably will be living at the bottom of the hill, and we will be sharing
14:55separate houses.
14:57A good bunch.
14:58Good fun so far.
14:59It's been excellent.
15:00I'm really chuffed.
15:01After his pastry tart triumph, Richard plates up his individual dauphinoise and layers on
15:08the fish fillets.
15:11100 and plate-ay!
15:13Game on!
15:14That's a double top of sea bass fillet with dauphinoise potatoes, spinach and mushrooms.
15:21Oh, thank you.
15:23Oh my gosh.
15:25Look at that!
15:26Oh my gosh.
15:28Here we go again.
15:30Dickie's got the magic touch, all right?
15:31This looks delicious.
15:33Thank you, thank you.
15:34Thank you so much.
15:37Come on then, let's hear it.
15:39I've never tried sea bass before and this is absolutely lovely.
15:42Oh, nice one.
15:43Really nice.
15:44So, in my pot, I believe it's something beginning with D.
15:51Dauphinoise?
15:52Yes, well done.
15:53Well, how you really do pronounce it is Dauphinoise.
15:57Yeah, it's not Dauphinoise.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Dauphinoise.
16:01Dauphinoise.
16:02Dauphinoise.
16:03Dauphinoise.
16:03French.
16:04Dauphins.
16:05Yeah.
16:06Dauphins.
16:06Well, that's nonsense.
16:07But has Richard's crown finally slipped?
16:09I thought, oh my God, these are stunning.
16:12As I was getting towards the bottom, a couple of them were a bit firm.
16:17He's human after all!
16:19Going back way back when, in my heyday, did the London Marathon.
16:24Anybody else done anything extreme?
16:25The most exciting thing I think I've really ever done was, me and my friends were on holidays
16:30back, you know, in the 80s, and we hired mopeds.
16:33I actually would love a motorbike, but I liked the, you know, like the Hells Angels ones
16:39with the long handlebars.
16:41High.
16:42But I'm so short, I'd never reach the pedals with the hands.
16:45Would you wear leathers?
16:46Probably in the bedroom, but not at the public, no.
16:51I'd be like the Mitterly man going on it.
16:53Vroom, vroom.
16:55I'd be like, hey, sunshine, hop on the back, we're going for a ride.
16:59Vroom, vroom.
17:00I hope you enjoyed your meal.
17:01I've got a bit of fun for us.
17:03Now, this might give you a clue to what it is.
17:05I don't know, five, four.
17:08That must be the last week.
17:10Last week.
17:11Vroom, vroom, vroom.
17:13Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.
17:14I don't know.
17:15Is everybody feeling okay?
17:17Claire?
17:18King, king, king.
17:22You're my face.
17:24I've no idea who that's supposed to be.
17:26I think that's before my time.
17:28You're a bit older than me.
17:30And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger.
17:33Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, mums and dads,
17:36welcome to Hyder, lower to the team,
17:38Out in the Valley!
17:42Glittery jock is stunning.
17:43Love a bit of sparkle and glitter.
17:48Ooh!
17:49My chest is hairier than his.
17:52Try and concentrate on the game, Sandra.
17:54And it is a 5-1!
17:58Why is he so brown?
18:00Higher than a 6 for Dev!
18:02A 2!
18:03Oh, it's a 2!
18:05I didn't actually picture when I saw Richard to be that confident
18:10to take his top off and then be like, whoa, here I am.
18:13You're all supposed to be playing the game.
18:15Not looking at Richard.
18:16And the winner, put your hands together, 2004, Sabi!
18:27I've never won a cup before.
18:31Back in the kitchen and fully dressed again,
18:33it's taste test time for Richard's ice cream.
18:36That's a winner.
18:38I just won it. It's perfect.
18:40Yes, all back of the nets. Come on!
18:43There's just the cheesecake to gently ease off the tray.
18:50Very, very rich.
18:51I'm glad they had a break between their Dauphin Mars and this,
18:54to be honest.
18:55Not sure whether they were surprised the most of being able to cook
18:57or having a pan, to be honest with you.
18:59A final quenelle of the homemade ice cream.
19:04Final course of the night, game set a match.
19:09And there you have it.
19:11Caramel biscuit cheesecake with homemade ice cream.
19:21Do you make the ice cream yourself?
19:23Yeah, made from scratch.
19:25And you're honoured, right?
19:26Because I don't like milk.
19:27I don't like cream.
19:28Wow!
19:29And there's a lot of milk and cream in there.
19:31So, you're honoured.
19:32Do you have an ice cream-making machine?
19:35It's delicious.
19:37This biscuit base is delicious.
19:38Yeah.
19:38I love a biscuit base.
19:40This is really nice.
19:41So, this is definitely the best cheesecake I've ever had.
19:43Oh, my God.
19:44Don't let me tears.
19:45I just think this is absolutely stunning.
19:48Oh, I hope I can make it as lush and beautiful as what he's done
19:51tonight, cos that was beautiful.
19:55And Richard's got one final surprise.
19:58In previous jobs as a sales manager, part of my training is to gauge
20:02people's body language to see if they're lying or they're telling
20:05the truth.
20:05Oh, yeah.
20:06So, if you tell me a statement by yourself, I'll see if I can say
20:10if it's true or not.
20:12I was once arrested.
20:17True.
20:18No, that's fine.
20:19Oh!
20:23And this is why he now runs a pub.
20:26I once didn't make it to the toilet and had to poo in a car park
20:30of a rugby club.
20:31Oh, definitely true.
20:32Definitely true.
20:33It is true.
20:34Yes, I could tell.
20:35Yeah, we've all been there, sadly.
20:37I once accidentally flashed in public.
20:41Nah, it's false.
20:42False?
20:43It's true!
20:45One out of three.
20:46Not quite Nostradamus, is it?
20:49It was a good night.
20:50Everyone had fun.
20:50Everyone got involved.
20:51They were all laughing.
20:52The food was as I planned it.
20:55It looked like fine dining.
20:56It tasted like fine dining.
20:58I couldn't do any more.
20:59If I don't win now, then I've done myself justice.
21:01But I can't imagine anyone beating that today.
21:03Hope you had a crack at night.
21:05And when you all got husbands to go home to...
21:07Yay!
21:09Time, ladies and gentlemen, for some scores.
21:13So, tonight, I'm not going to lie, it's been absolutely lush all round everything.
21:19So, that note, I'm going to score Richard a nine.
21:22Richard gave us a great night.
21:24There was great food, great entertainment.
21:27I'm going to give him a nine.
21:30Richard has been the most amazing host.
21:33I've had such a fab time.
21:34I've really enjoyed every course that he's made.
21:38Presentation was fantastic.
21:40The cheesecake was absolutely incredible.
21:42The best one I've ever had in my life.
21:44So, tonight, I'm scoring Richard a nine.
21:48Tonight, I've been really impressed with the ambience,
21:49the overall presentation of the food and the taste.
21:53So, I'd love to give Richard an eight.
21:56Which gives Richard a magnificent 35 out of 40,
22:00putting him firmly in first place.
22:03Next time, a picky punter.
22:06If I had something better on this now, I'd be in heaven.
22:09Well, I was going to churn one of the cows in my back garden,
22:12but then it was too late for that in the face.
22:14And a pitiful pudding.
22:15It's rich, isn't it?
22:16Mmm.
22:17It's an acquired taste.
22:18Would I have tofu mousse again?
22:20Er, no.
