00:00Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
00:02On today's show...
00:05Miserable Mushrooms.
00:06Let's get these fungi zinset.
00:10Oh, I don't like mushrooms.
00:12Oh, no. Come on.
00:15Gnome names.
00:16I would be Dr Gnome, and I'd work for the National Health Service.
00:21And a pudding palaver.
00:24I think the dessert dish today was the worst course
00:28who'd been served this week.
00:30Sometimes you've got to take it on the chin.
00:31As a raft of Welsh wannabes wrestle for a wadjabwonga...
00:36It was like a big bomb had gone off.
00:39I'd rather just go, and I'd be... I was done with it.
00:49It's the fifth day of the competition from South Wales,
00:52birthplace of Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue.
00:56Zmum Karel.
00:59And hoping her night will be lucky, lucky, lucky
01:03is tonight's host, civil servant, Sandra.
01:06My menu, it's fun, it's a bit cheeky, and boy, is it tasty.
01:12Yay!
01:13Oh!
01:14Go!
01:15The week kicked off with fun and frolics from Farmer Claire.
01:19I loved my night. My night went fab. I was brilliant.
01:23And her night featured scotch eggs made from her own pigs.
01:27I'm still chuffing guys at the yorkers running.
01:29Personally, I like my yorks hard.
01:32And some supersized portions.
01:35I'm stuck. I'm squirting and everything.
01:37One hundred and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
01:40Tuesday saw account executive Richard.
01:42Let's play tarts.
01:44Surprise his guests by hosting in his own pub.
01:48Oh my gosh.
01:49The night started off fantastically well.
01:51The entertainment went brilliantly.
01:52And his caramel cheesecake was the talk of the town.
01:56This is absolutely stunning.
01:58On a totally showbiz evening, a two!
02:01Oh!
02:02Yay!
02:03I think I'm in with a squeaker win in it.
02:05Yay!
02:06On Wednesday, hotel receptionist Davy...
02:09Wait, is that burning plastic in there?
02:11...hoped to impress his guests.
02:13Wow!
02:14...by serving a mostly vegan menu.
02:16So it's time to give this vegan Wellington some welly.
02:19My night was OK. I mean, I think everybody had fun.
02:22Sadly, his terrible tofu dessert...
02:25...was really not set properly.
02:26...was not to everyone's taste.
02:28I really don't like tofu.
02:30I'm hoping I did deliver.
02:32But if not, you know, it's OK.
02:34Because I tried my best.
02:35Thursday and meat was back on the menu
02:38when dog-loving Clever Cog Sophie...
02:41Oh, it's slimy.
02:43...brought a taste of the Mediterranean to South Wales.
02:46Last night was a lot of fun.
02:48A little bit stressful.
02:50I slightly messed up the main course.
02:52I forgot to put the grill on.
02:54But I think everyone was very kind.
02:56Oh, you've done amazing.
02:59However, it wasn't just her food that surprised them.
03:03When I came out belly dancing, their faces, they were so surprised.
03:08They looked really happy.
03:10But it's going to be Richard who Sandra has to beat tonight
03:14as he's out in front with a very impressive 35 points.
03:19Right.
03:20And her guests have no idea what to expect.
03:23Am I worried?
03:24Yes.
03:25Am I afraid?
03:27Very, very afraid.
03:29Oh, we're going to go.
03:31This is my night.
03:32This is my night.
03:33I'm the winner.
03:34I'm the winner.
03:35Winner, winner.
03:36Chicken dinner.
03:37Oi, Sandra.
03:39Put the whisk down and get on with it.
03:42And the first task for our Disco Dolly is dessert.
03:45A lemon shortbread cheesecake.
03:48So I am a sucker for a cheesecake, I'm not going to lie.
03:51It's the battle of the cheesecakes at last.
03:53I was waiting for someone else to make one to give me a bit of competition.
03:56Sandra starts by obliterating shortbread biscuits.
04:00Do you know what?
04:02I'm going to beat this competition.
04:04I'm going to beat them all.
04:06Rawr.
04:07I'm not a bulldog for nothing.
04:10The crumbs are added to melted butter.
04:13You might need a bigger pan.
04:16Sandra's cheesecake is coming after Richard's cheesecake.
04:19It's going to be so hard to beat that.
04:21I think my shortbread is going to give it a nicer taste than Richard's.
04:26Because shortbread is delicious.
04:29And it's just going to complement it beautiful.
04:32Is it going to be better than my cheesecake?
04:34I don't think so.
04:35The buttery shortbread mix is then pressed into a tin.
04:39You're looking at a real artist at work here.
04:42The shortbread Picasso.
04:44Interesting.
04:45And it's in for a chill.
04:48I like lemon cheesecake.
04:49It's really refreshing.
04:50I think the lemon as a dessert is nice.
04:54For the topping, Sandra spoons out cream cheese.
04:58The cheesier, the better.
05:00Because this cheesecake's going to be so cheesy.
05:03Just like me.
05:04Well, you said it.
05:05In goes icing sugar.
05:07Then everything is given a whisk.
05:10Some grated lemon zest.
05:12I've never made this cheesecake for anyone other than my husband before.
05:16And he's still alive.
05:17So that's a bonus.
05:19Brousy bonus.
05:20Good game.
05:20Good game.
05:21Oh, God.
05:21I want my love.
05:22If I can give Sandra higher than five for a cheesecake, I'd be amazed.
05:27No more Bruce Forsyth, please.
05:31Sandra spoons the topping onto the base and then delicately pipes on the finishing touches.
05:35A final grate of lemon zest and then lemon slices.
05:39I'm well happy with that.
05:42That's fabulous.
05:44And the lemony cheesecake is back in the fridge till tonight.
05:49On to the main.
05:51The French classic beef bourguignon with a creamy chive mash and green beans.
05:56Beef bourguignon, but I kind of think it's like a hot pot kind of thing, I think.
06:00It is a French dish and it's très bon.
06:05The très bon beef is simply sealed in a pan.
06:09I think it's some kind of like beef in like a sauce, like a tomato sauce or something.
06:13And then set aside.
06:16There's got to be any beef between my dinner guests tonight or the bulldog will be biting them.
06:22And nobody wants to see that.
06:25Beef is so flavourful, isn't it?
06:26And if it's nicely cooked, if it's nice and tender, you know, some really good flavourings in there, I think
06:32that could be delicious.
06:34I do hope that wine is from France.
06:37Australia.
06:37Ah, fair dinkum.
06:39Tomato puree is added to carrots and shallots.
06:42Veg and meat are mixed, then doused in the Aussie plonk.
06:47I like that dish.
06:48If she can pull it off and the beef's nice and tender, that could be a nice main.
06:51Then it's into the oven to slow cook till tonight, when she'll also make her mash.
06:58Finally, the starter.
07:00Creamy garlic mushrooms on toasted ciabatta with a side salade.
07:04So I've chosen creamy garlic mushrooms for my starter, because I think most people really like that as a starter
07:12to a nice meal.
07:14Oh, I not like mushrooms.
07:17I'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms.
07:19Not ideal.
07:21Let's get these fun guys in, is it?
07:24A lot of work's gone into this, let me tell you.
07:27Which is a shame, because they don't seem that popular.
07:30I think some of my guests are not keen on mushrooms, but I think I'm going to change that, and
07:35they're going to leave you loving mushrooms.
07:37Good luck with that, Sandra.
07:38So I'm not a massive fan of mushrooms, to be honest.
07:42Oh dear.
07:42Or garlic in particular.
07:45Smell all that lovely garlic with the mushrooms, it's beautiful, isn't it?
07:49In goes cream cheese.
07:50Maybe Richard will like the mushrooms.
07:53Not really looking forward to the creamy garlic mushrooms, and maybe scraping the cream off.
07:57Good luck scraping that cream off.
08:01Warm that up later, just before my guests arrive.
08:04Perfect.
08:06She'll serve on slices of toasted ciabatta later.
08:10That's all I can do now.
08:13That's me off to go and make myself look even more beautiful than I already am.
08:17So as Sandra heads upstairs to get ready, her guests are wondering what to expect tonight.
08:22I think Sandra is going to be unapologetically herself.
08:26And that could mean anything tonight.
08:29It starts with leopard print.
08:31It's my night tonight.
08:32It's going to be a fun night.
08:35And it's going to be all lush.
08:39First to arrive, it's Richard.
08:42Oh my God, hello babe.
08:45I've missed you guys today.
08:48Yay!
08:50Perfect.
08:51Cheers.
08:51Cheers to our last evening.
08:55I wish I could go like that.
08:57I think you just did.
08:59Oh, how firm are they?
09:01They've been in the oven a while, they have.
09:03Oh, it's Claire.
09:05Saved by the knock.
09:08Oh my God, beautiful, come in.
09:11Welcome to my home.
09:13I've already had my buns squeezed, so I feel well at home already in Sandra's house.
09:17Do you want me to squeeze your buns so you feel at home?
09:20Yes, please.
09:21Now there's an offer.
09:22Oh, your buns have been in the oven a bit like me.
09:25Next in, to have a bun squeezed probably, it's Sophie.
09:29Oh, Sophie.
09:30Hi.
09:30You look gorgeous, my darling.
09:33Oh, let's check your buns.
09:35Go.
09:35Yep.
09:36Yes, they've been in the oven.
09:39And finally, it's Davith.
09:41Look out, fella.
09:42Big.
09:43Sandra, you're a entertainment survivor.
09:46Oh, sorry, you're not what I booked.
09:48Oh, right, okay, I'm off.
09:49Hello, my love.
09:51How are you?
09:52I'm check.
09:53Let's check your buns.
09:55They've been in the oven for an hour, yes.
09:57I've done the bun watch.
09:59I've done the test.
10:00It's our rich.
10:02Yes!
10:06Therm, grabable, cheeky.
10:09You'd put them in the oven for a few hours.
10:12Slow cupped.
10:13Let's have a fun last night.
10:15Yeah, yeah.
10:15A fun last night to Sandra.
10:17Let's do Sandra.
10:19Still to come.
10:20Oh, cool.
10:22Meaty mix-ups.
10:23The main was nicer than I thought, because I just soaked the shepherd's pie.
10:27Oh, I'm crying.
10:28That was actually me, that one.
10:30It was cottage pie, not shepherd's pie.
10:33And someone grabs the grand.
10:35The winner is...
10:43It's the final night of the competition from South Wales.
10:46Yay!
10:49Where civil servant Sandra is hoping her night of homely cooking will win her the £1,000 prize.
10:56My starter tonight is going to be amazing.
10:59I'm going to blow them out of the park when they see it.
11:01So, as she reheats her creepy garlic mushrooms downstairs, upstairs, Sophie and Claire have spotted something rather spooky.
11:11Oh!
11:12Hang on.
11:13What is it?
11:14Have a guess.
11:16Do you know what I think it is?
11:18I think it's definitely, like, a dwarf or something.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Like, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
11:23It's definitely a fancy dress, isn't it?
11:25I was thinking Father Christmas.
11:26Sandra's not just got the ears.
11:28She's not just got the beard.
11:30She's got every single part down.
11:32That is commitment to gnome life.
11:35I'm keeping these glasses.
11:36Oh, I thought they were your glasses!
11:39I'm, like, as intelligent as you now.
11:43I wish.
11:45And we're off.
11:46Back in the kitchen, Sandra simply spoons the topping onto toasted ciabatta.
11:51Lovely, gently, look at that.
11:53We're under starter's orders, the final starter of the week.
11:57And that final starter is creamy garlic mushrooms on toasted ciabatta with chunky red onion rings and balsamic droplets.
12:06Oh, ladies first.
12:09Woman of the evening.
12:10Ladies first.
12:12Wow.
12:13Please, everyone, tuck in and enjoy.
12:16Yes!
12:16Tuck into all those mushrooms and all that cream.
12:22Come on, Claire.
12:25I hate mushrooms.
12:27There's a mushroom on, AC.
12:28Where?
12:29It is.
12:30I'd like to drop my bread now.
12:32Come on, Claire.
12:35Right, though, I'm sorry, babe.
12:38I chewed it and I not like it.
12:41Sandra, I think this is the first time I've genuinely enjoyed a mushroom dish.
12:46Oh, no way!
12:48Yeah, thank you.
12:49I ate all of mine and I've never finished a plate of mushrooms before.
12:54Bravo!
12:55The mushrooms are lovely and I've rubbed all the cream off the mushrooms as well.
12:59So, the garlic flavour is still on the mushrooms.
13:02It's beautiful.
13:03Mmm.
13:05Creamy mushrooms on toast, I think it's an easy starter.
13:08A bit too much cream on the garlic mushrooms, which everyone knows I don't like cream, so not the best
13:13starter for me, if I'm honest.
13:14I've got to say, there's not mushroom left in my stomach now after eating that.
13:19It's a classic for a reason.
13:22Three of them said they didn't like mushrooms.
13:24Two out of three gave them a go and ate them all.
13:27Right, Sandra, me and Sophie went for a little mooch upstairs.
13:30Oh, yes.
13:31It was in your bedroom.
13:32Right.
13:32And at the bottom of the bed, there was a set of massive ears, a little red pointy hat, some
13:42glasses.
13:43Oh, yes.
13:44Can you explain?
13:45I absolutely love gnomes.
13:47And sometimes I go into gnome fancy dress when I go up because it makes me so happy.
13:52Oh, is that your fantasy, is it, to dress up as a gnome?
13:55I don't fantasise, babe, I do it.
13:56You do it, yeah.
13:57I mean, I've never known anyone before who liked that.
14:02Well, my gnome name, I'm Gnome of the Gnome.
14:06Oh, OK, yeah.
14:07What would your gnome name be?
14:09James Gnome.
14:11Yeah, not quite right.
14:13I should have told my rod.
14:17So, I would be Dr Gnome and I'd work for the National Elf Saving.
14:23That's more like it, but no more, please.
14:26In the kitchen, Sandra cracks on with her mash.
14:29This is going to be so much nicer than what David's mash was.
14:34A quick final whisk.
14:36Tasting good?
14:38Mmm.
14:40Perfect.
14:41Oh, I just remembered.
14:43I've got to go and get something.
14:45I think we know what this is going to be.
14:50Careful with your hat.
14:51Such a big hat.
14:53Oh, I told you.
14:54It's quite warm, I think.
14:55When this is over, I'll go to the barbers and have a bit of a shave, I think.
14:59Change of image.
15:01Might need more than a shave.
15:03Final meal of the week, because there's no place like Gnome.
15:07Just good, Gnome-cooked beef bourguignon with creamy mash and green beans.
15:13Get ready, everyone.
15:15There's no place like Gnome!
15:18Oh, my God!
15:20Are you, my darling?
15:21I knew she was going to dress that.
15:25We have beef bourguignon.
15:30Mind your beard, Norma.
15:33I'm quite partial to mashed potato, and this is definitely up there.
15:37Oh!
15:38This is absolutely delicious.
15:40Oh, wow.
15:41It's so, so nice.
15:43I am very strongly converted back to meat at this point.
15:48I expected a bit more succulents in the juice around it,
15:52but just to have carrots with the meat was not what I expected, really.
15:55I've got a little surprise for you guys.
15:58We're all going to be back!
16:00Hats and beards for everyone, and don't forget the rosy cheeks.
16:04LAUGHTER
16:09I feel like my granddaddy does tea.
16:12This was on my bucket list of something I really wanted to do.
16:16I wanted to sit and have a dinner party with gnomes.
16:19And to think some people want to swim with dolphins.
16:21I've done it!
16:23Yay!
16:25What's on your bucket list of something you'd love to do?
16:28On my bucket list is, by the time I die,
16:31I want to remember everything on the periodic table.
16:35I didn't see that one coming.
16:37I know.
16:38PB is lead.
16:39Correct.
16:39Carbon?
16:41CB.
16:42No, CA.
16:43C.
16:43C for carbon.
16:45Nitrogen?
16:46N.
16:47I.
16:48Just N.
16:49Oxygen?
16:51O2.
16:52Oh, dear.
16:53More like.
16:54Safely back in human dress, it's on with dessert.
16:58Oh!
17:01Last course of the week, and we've kept the best till last.
17:05And here it is, a lemon shortbread cheesecake with a strawberry smudge.
17:11Again?
17:20Beautiful cheesecake, really nice, lovely base, strawberries and the lemon, plenty of lemon going through it, really, really nice.
17:26This is the lemoniest lemon cheesecake I've ever had, and it's really delicious.
17:31Lemony lemon, of the lemonest of cheesecakes I've ever had, it's very lemony, but it was also very delicious.
17:37So, this cheesecake takes me right back to Sicily.
17:40Mmm.
17:42Mmm.
17:42Yeah, it just makes me feel like I'm on holiday in a beautiful country, the sun is shining, it's gorgeous.
17:48Giving a lot of life and zest into this, Sandra.
17:52Zest, a lemony joke there.
17:53I got you.
17:53You got that, yeah?
17:54Yeah.
17:55So, who wants to find out what people really thought about their night for tea?
18:00No, no, no, no, no.
18:01I do.
18:03LAUGHTER
18:04First to go, Clare.
18:06The starter just sounded amazing, and it was amazing.
18:09The main was nicer than I thought, because I just thought the shepherd's pie...
18:13Oh, I'm crying.
18:14I just thought the shepherd's pie would probably be more plain, but it was much more flavourful than I expected.
18:20Aww, yay!
18:22Thank you, Ellen!
18:23That was a really nice comment.
18:26Aww!
18:27That was actually me, that was!
18:29Aww!
18:30It was cottage pie, you know, shepherd's pie!
18:33At least the thought was there!
18:35Sorry!
18:37I think his entertainment was winning in terms of, you know, present the trophy at the end, especially showing his
18:44belly and his nipples.
18:488,000 again!
18:49Yes!
18:50I think that could have been me.
18:52I don't have the best grammar vocabulary.
18:55You know.
18:55Yeah, you know.
18:56So, yeah.
18:57Nice comment about my belly and my nipple, I'll take that any day of the week, yeah.
19:01Who doesn't like a compliment of other bodies?
19:04Last up!
19:04Dav!
19:05Go Dav!
19:06I don't even want to know.
19:07I'm going to take this one that's sick of all.
19:08Yeah.
19:10I think the dessert dish today was the worst course we've been served this week.
19:16Aw!
19:17I'm sorry!
19:18Was that you that said that?
19:19No!
19:20I said that as well!
19:21It's Richard!
19:23It's Richard!
19:23It's Richard!
19:24I immediately wanted to apologise to Dav.
19:28It was a comment that I had made, but it actually wasn't a comment I made.
19:33I was going to...
19:34It was me.
19:36Claire stepped up and said it was her and it actually was nothing to do with her really.
19:41And it was the worst dessert of the week and sometimes you could have taken it on the chin.
19:44Well, at least I showed some skill with my cooking.
19:48Aw, no, no!
19:48I like other people.
19:50I'm so sorry.
19:51Obviously, I really wished that they would have said that to me at the time.
19:55I think I wouldn't have taken it so hard reading it off a slip of paper.
19:59I wasn't the biggest fan of your courses either, but I will go with it for now.
20:03It's OK?
20:04We don't have to swap phone numbers after this.
20:07Well, I wouldn't want to be either of you right now.
20:08You can have my number, babe.
20:10Aw, it's OK.
20:11That's fine.
20:12It was like a big bomb had gone off.
20:14Oosh.
20:17Yes.
20:18Perhaps we should have some scores.
20:19Sandra needs a whopping 36 to claim the win from Richard.
20:25I'd love to give Sandra a really high score for, you know, her presentation, the taste of her food and
20:31everything else.
20:32So, I think I'd love to give Sandra an 8 for today.
20:35Tonight, I'm scoring Sandra an 8.
20:37So, tonight, I'm going to score Sandra a gnomey 9.
20:43The food wasn't up to her expectations.
20:46I was expecting more from her.
20:48So, tonight, I'm going to give Sandra...
20:49Whoa!
20:50Hold it right there!

21:30No, I really don't care.
21:31See, I'd rather just go and be done with it.
