00:00¡Da-da-da-da!
00:01¡On today's show!
00:03¡Mamma mia!
00:04¡Petrifying prawns!
00:06¡3, 2, 1, 1!
00:08¡Well done!
00:09¡Yay!
00:10¡I will still be a bit icky about them!
00:12¡Candid caricatures!
00:15¡Oh, you see!
00:17¡My eyebrows are not down there!
00:20¡And nostalgic nuggets!
00:22¡All right, guys, that's at the point I leave because I've had enough of that, all right!
00:26I think I'm about ready to teleport back to the 90s, please.
00:30As five West Country wannabes wage war for a wadavwonga.
00:34Hello, is it me I'm looking for?
00:44It's the third day of the competition in the West Country, home to this really, really old pub.
00:50Said to be the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
00:55And hoping for a pot of gold of her own is tonight's host, Bubbly Barber Natalia.
01:00My night is going to be fun, vivacious, and hopefully it's an experience they won't forget.
01:06Yummus!
01:07Yummus!
01:08It was holiday addict Kirsteen who kicked off the week with a Greek-themed extravaganza.
01:14Oh, my God!
01:15Booty Richard was all compliments.
01:17I didn't have a clue what this was, but I really like it.
01:19Thank you.
01:20I do appreciate that.
01:21While straight-talking Joe left the group gobsmacked.
01:25My toy looked like dog food, I'm really sorry.
01:28Joe's brutal.
01:29I can be brutal sometimes, but at the same time, I don't mind a good pedigree chump.
01:33And a toe-tapping twirl ended the night on a high.
01:38I was really happy how it went.
01:40And it was a really good night, and it could be the winner.
01:44Let's have a grande serata.
01:45Last night, Neapolitan Pepe dished up an authentic Italian feast.
01:50I think this is absolutely superb.
01:52It's beautiful.
01:54My night was a winning night, so I'm very happy, I'm very pleased that I enjoyed my food last night.
02:00There were rodent ramblings.
02:01He's got absolute love for you.
02:04The strongest feeling I get is that you're his protector.
02:10But Joe's no-nonsense nitpicking came back to bite.
02:14I never said I have food with dog food, I said it looked like.
02:17That is calling her food dog food.
02:18It's not, sorry.
02:19Only I can know what I meant.
02:21Natalia keeps going on about the fact I said dog food.
02:24She won't let it go.
02:25Despite the doggy digs, Pepe clawed his way to the top with a respectable 27 out of 40.
02:32So what's everyone expecting?
02:34I'm sure she's very competitive, and if she produces some show-stopping food, then yeah, she could be well up
02:39there.
02:39I'm looking forward to Natalia's party, as long as there's no...
02:45I'm feeling a little bit of distance with Natalia.
02:49I just hope she doesn't go on about what I did on the first night.
02:53Tonight, I'm in my house, it's my rules, and she will get put on her plate.
02:59OK, anything else planned?
03:0290s was the best era, it's my favourite era, and tonight they're going to have a taste of that in
03:07their mouth.
03:08First up on Natalia's 90s menu, something from the 70s.
03:13Black Forest Ghetto?
03:15Oh my God, Black Forest Ghetto.
03:17No way is she making homemade Black Forest Ghetto.
03:20This is going to be a frozen one from Iceland.
03:22It's not. Butter and chocolate are poked about.
03:25Where is the Black Forest anyway?
03:27Germany.
03:28Is it Germany?
03:29It is.
03:30Is it Germany?
03:31Yes, Germany.
03:32Oh, so this is a German dish.
03:34You should know, it's on your menu.
03:36I should know, but I didn't know.
03:40I think I remember my parents going out for Black Forest Ghetto when they went to their friends' houses,
03:44doing, like, safari suppers and things.
03:46Remember that?
03:46If you remember it, you weren't there.
03:49For her sponge, yoghurt and eggs get a beating, and a shed load of sugar joins flour.
03:55Easy.
03:56That is a lot of sugar.
03:58Followed by cocoa powder, bicarb and a pinch of salt.
04:02Left shoulder for good luck.
04:04That's better.
04:04I'm not a fan of the cherries or black currants, whatever it is.
04:09The sponges are in to bake.
04:12Ooh, that jam looks nice.
04:13Is it homemade?
04:14Not on this occasion, I'm afraid.
04:16No, I'm not that talented.
04:18Oh.
04:18I hope she used fresh fruit and not frozen one.
04:23I couldn't actually find any proper fresh cherries, so I got frozen cherries, but apparently they're frozen for freshness.
04:31Good to hear.
04:32I'm definitely more of an eater of cake rather than a baker of cake, but my mum will always say
04:36make sure it's nice and moist.
04:37Top tip, mum.
04:39Ah, perfect.
04:41It's going to be a very moist cake.
04:44It's filled with cream and cherries and drenched in a chocolatey ganache.
04:49Mamma mia!
04:50The cake has got to look like your mum's just made it.
04:54And are you the mummy tonight?
04:57If you misbehave, yes.
04:59Moving on.
05:01Start a prawn cocktail with a twist.
05:03I think that started in the 60s.
05:06Oh, dear, it would be, wouldn't it?
05:08The one thing I can't eat and don't enjoy is a prawn cocktail.
05:12Love a prawn cocktail.
05:13Can't wait for that.
05:14Wonder what the twist will be.
05:15The twist is, it's with batter.
05:17Because I can't eat prawns without batter.
05:20Interesting.
05:21On with the mix.
05:24Whoopsie.
05:28How do I tell her I can't eat prawns?
05:30I'll just be chucking them on the floor and hope she can't see.
05:35The berry batter's knocked out.
05:37Ready for the prawns tonight.
05:38On to the sauce.
05:39If there is a spice here, there might be a problem for me.
05:44I'm not 100% sure on the recipe, so I'm just going to wing it a little bit.
05:48And even though I don't like spice, I could only find tomato and chilli chutney.
05:53So, that's fine.
05:54That'll do.
05:55You sure about that?
06:00That's too hot.
06:02OK, it's fine.
06:03The red hot mix is doused in mayo, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce.
06:08No dip?
06:10No.
06:11Oh.
06:11No.
06:13I'm not sure what I've done wrong there, so I'm literally just going to use the mayo
06:17and the chutney because it's still posher than tomato sauce and mayo.
06:22Good old chutney.
06:23Any better?
06:25Yeah.
06:26Perfect.
06:27She'll serve it with her battered prawns this evening.
06:31Last stop on the 1990s menu, something from 1787.
06:35Toad in the hole.
06:37Toad in the hole.
06:40She's got kids coming round as well.
06:43It's greasy, the sausage, it's not my favourite thing.
06:47First up, Yorkshire puds.
06:49Oiled moulds are hotted up.
06:51So, this should be a winning main meal, definitely.
06:5590s comfort food.
06:57I just can't see how it can go wrong.
06:58If only any of it was from the 90s.
07:00Batters boshed together and beaten till smooth.
07:04I mean, she's going 90s style tonight.
07:07Perhaps Christina Aguilera's going to pop out of the thing.
07:09I don't know.
07:10Oh, she might.
07:11Any minute now.
07:13No, she couldn't be bothered.
07:14Come, come, come on and meow.
07:17Is it supposed to be thin?
07:19Unless I haven't got my measurements right for five people.
07:23You said it was easy.
07:25It is easy.
07:26The key with the toad in the hole is making sure the batter's nice and light.
07:29And then you put some hot oil in the pan before you put the batter in there and pop it
07:32in the oven.
07:33It stops it sticking and it makes it nice and crispy.
07:35Lovely.
07:37Oh.
07:38Sadly, not a sizzling sight.
07:40That was a bit anticlimactic.
07:42Yeah, whack it in anyway.
07:45I might be lucky.
07:47I might get away with it.
07:48I'm a traditionalist.
07:49If you're going to make toad in the hole, keep it real.
07:52How are they looking?
07:54I might have nailed it.
07:56I'm not convinced.
07:57I thought I proper messed them up.
08:00So, they look the part at least.
08:03You keep telling yourself that.
08:04All right.
08:06The first two were fine.
08:08This one...
08:10It's how my confidence is feeling now.
08:12A little fat.
08:13Yeah.
08:14More pancake than pudding.
08:16Soggy Yorkshires will just ruin the whole thing.
08:18But I do have backup ones.
08:20What are they then?
08:22Frozen ones.
08:22Very wise.
08:23The frozen Yorkies will be dished up with pigs in blankets and mashed this evening.
08:27I thought it was going to be really something impressive.
08:31That's not impressive.
08:33Sorry.
08:33This is not a winning menu.
08:35This is a pub menu.
08:36She can surprise everyone tonight.
08:38But, I mean, my menu was better.
08:42I'm either expecting more friction and it comes to the fore.
08:46Or I'm expecting getting to know a really lovely human being that wants to share who she is.
08:52Right.
08:53Let's head back to the 90s.
08:54Ready for a fabulous evening, darling.
08:57Oh, mwah!
08:59First in, it's Kirsteen.
09:01Double patsy.
09:02Oh, my God!
09:05No!
09:06Snap!
09:08Champagne?
09:09Fake champagne?
09:10Yes, darling.
09:10Yes, only the best.
09:12Only the best.
09:12Only the best, darling, for us patsies, darling.
09:16Should have worn a wedge.
09:19Next to rock up, it's Pepe.
09:21Pepe!
09:22Hello, girls.
09:24How are you doing?
09:25I'm sinking, Pepe.
09:27I am sinking.
09:28Here's Joe.
09:30Woo!
09:32Oh, that sounds like my kind of tune.
09:34I am what I am.
09:35Popping your champagne.
09:37Absolutely fabulous.
09:40Last in, it's Richard.
09:42Yeah.
09:42Ready?
09:42Fancy flowers.
09:45Are you going to save the night tonight?
09:47Absolutely.
09:48Yeah.
09:48Lifeguard Tower 1, right?
09:50Here's to my 90s night.
09:51Mmm!
09:52Ooh-ah!
09:56Yoling up, rambling rockers.
09:59Joe, I think you're a good organiser.
10:02I didn't understand what she was on about.
10:04And a cakey kerfuffle.
10:06Go on, Joe.
10:07Finger the cake.
10:08It just didn't feel right to me to go plonk.
10:10I'd rather sit on the cake.
10:19It's night three in the West Country.
10:22Where Bob and Natalia is hoping her 90s night will be a cut above the rest.
10:28How are those tempura prawns?
10:31That good, eh?
10:32I'm not really sure when prawns are cooked in batter.
10:36I'm assuming it's like a golden colour.
10:39That'd be all right, wouldn't it?
10:41They're your prawns.
10:42Why are they so chewy?
10:43I don't know.
10:44Are they supposed to be chewy?
10:45Not really.
10:4790s prawn cocktail with a chewy tempura twist.
10:53Can I have a buffet?
10:54Thank you, love.
10:54To you, my darling.
10:58I can't eat these.
10:59I will gag.
11:00It's such a shame.
11:01It's more than a phobia.
11:02I'm not scared of them.
11:03I just can't eat them.
11:05So, thank you, sweetheart.
11:06But would you like them?
11:07I'm OK.
11:08One of the boys might want them.
11:09There we go, sweetheart.
11:11Thank you.
11:12I love the tempered element, the nice little twist on the classic prawn cocktail.
11:15Yeah, lovely.
11:16A bit of an up-to-date twist.
11:18Yeah.
11:18How do you mix?
11:22A tomato and chilli.
11:25I'm sorry.
11:26I know.
11:28It was a lot hotter than that, but I thought, because we both don't like spice, I thought
11:33I made it a little bit cooler, but is it still too spicy for you?
11:39It's OK.
11:46Yeah.
11:48Oh, good.
11:48I'm glad.
11:49And fish is my favourite food.
11:51So, yeah, I could eat 20 of these.
11:53Oh, I'm happy.
11:55Thank you.
11:56It's gorgeous, that tempura as well.
11:58I really want to try the tempura.
12:02All right, we can have a three, two, one, and go in.
12:04Yeah, three, two, one.
12:06Well done.
12:07Yay!
12:08Thank you for trying, Joe.
12:09I appreciate that.
12:10OK.
12:12What's good?
12:13I will still be a bit icky about them, but I'm glad I tried them.
12:17Why the 90s theme?
12:18Yeah, I'd like to know.
12:19The 90s theme is just, well, it's the best era, isn't it, the 90s?
12:24I think so.
12:25I think so.
12:26Yeah.
12:26Best clothes, best music, best food.
12:29We peaked as a species in the 90s, I reckon.
12:31Four of my children were born in the 90s, or was it five of them?
12:35No, four of my children.
12:37So, yeah, I spent quite a lot of the 90s being pregnant and being a mum.
12:41Is there one day in the 90s, or a time period, that sticks out?
12:45Yeah, there is, actually.
12:47It was 1995, and I was in a play in London.
12:49For doing what?
12:51It was a play called Marisade.
12:53It's about people struggling in the mental asylum.
12:56Thank you, sweetheart.
12:58Thank you.
12:59Are you an actor?
13:00I'm not, no.
13:01You're a bloody good one.
13:04Professional liar.
13:05No, no, no.
13:07No offence.
13:08Why do you keep saying that?
13:09Uh-oh.
13:09No, because I didn't want you to see that I meant that actors were liars,
13:12that was all.
13:13I'm thinking you're saying I take offence or not or something.
13:16You have a little bit through the week, I would say.
13:19I felt last night there was a little bit of friction between the two of us,
13:22and I felt I had to sort of stand my ground a little bit.
13:24Oh, not the dog food again!
13:26Are you holding a grudge because I said that?
13:29No, I just stated, I'm honest, I'm up front, I just stated that was rude.
13:33I think it was the wrong thing to say.
13:36Yeah.
13:36A few times that you said it.
13:38I only said once!
13:39You didn't.
13:39All right.
13:40Guys, that's at the point I leave because I've had enough of that, all right?
13:43So I'm going to go for a cig.
13:44Just a five-minute breather.
13:46I'm just...
13:46Hey, that's sensitive.
13:48Blimey!
13:48Just definitely an actress.
13:50Bit of a diva, aren't she?
13:52I mean, that was too much drama on the table, and I don't like drama.
13:56It was awkward.
13:57I didn't enjoy it.
13:58I didn't enjoy it, and I want it to stop.
14:00Me too!
14:01Time out!
14:02I don't want anyone in my house feeling uncomfortable.
14:05I still want her to feel welcome,
14:06and I want everyone else to feel good and not feel, you know,
14:10that there's a tension there.
14:11I think things are better out in the open,
14:13and as something was mentioned again, I thought,
14:15OK, let's just go there.
14:17I think I'm about ready to teleport back to the 90s, please.
14:21Not before you've dished up your maid.
14:24They look homemade, right?
14:25If you live in a food factory.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Yorkies bunged in the oven, the grilled piggies are hot to trot.
14:32Yeah, smell good.
14:34Smell porky.
14:35That's the idea.
14:37Which one should I give to Jo?
14:40I'm going to try and butter her up.
14:42Three frozen Yorkies ought to do it.
14:45Ah, stargazy sausage.
14:47So, if anything's going to sort out the atmosphere tonight,
14:50it's going to be these bad boys.
14:52No pressure.
14:53Toad in the hole.
14:54One with a jug of gravy in it.
14:58Dust settled.
14:58Jo's rejoined the group.
14:59Thank you.
15:00I come in peace.
15:01Yeah.
15:02I hope you enjoy.
15:03Thank you.
15:04That's lovely.
15:05Thank you, Pat.
15:06That looks beautiful.
15:08Hope you enjoy.
15:09Got a question.
15:10The Yorkshire puning are homemade?
15:40Um, no.
15:53I don't know if you're in Yorkshire's, but maybe she lives in the fast lane, eh?
16:12Bless you.
16:13I'm glad we can squash it and then enjoy the rest of the night.
16:16Definitely.
16:17Cheers.
16:18Cheers.
16:19Cheers, guys.
16:19Cheers.
16:21Oh.
16:22Bygones are totally bygones.
16:24I certainly don't bear grudges, but it's made me feel a lot more welcome.
16:28In the end, they managed to sort out their differences,
16:30so I'm sure the rest of the week will be a lot more, uh, tension-free.
16:34Oh, you love it.
16:35Thank you.
16:36You love everything, Rich.
16:37Yeah, that is good.
16:38He just loves food.
16:39Yeah.
16:40I'm an easy guest.
16:41You're a good person to have at a dinner party, I must admit.
16:45Talking to which, then, favourite dinner guest?
16:47Maybe famous, dead or otherwise?
16:49Michael Jackson.
16:50Interesting choice.
16:51I was just thinking this is him.
16:53Off the top of my head, I'll go with Moses.
16:57Was it him that turned more into wine?
16:58Wasn't that Paul Daniels?
17:00I don't know.
17:01But, OK, I'd have him at the party if he could do that,
17:03but otherwise, I'm not interested.
17:05Oh, fair enough.
17:07Natalia, what about you?
17:08Uh, mine would have to be Elvis.
17:10OK.
17:11Because he's just a legend.
17:12Surely I don't have to say any more than that.
17:14That's interesting, because we are organising an Elvis night, actually.
17:17Oh, yeah?
17:17Yeah.
17:18Someone's actually going to be channelling Elvis,
17:20which may sound crazy to some,
17:21but she actually went with the lip,
17:22and his voice came through, and he said,
17:24Joe, I think you're a good organiser.
17:26Would you do this for me?
17:28I didn't understand what she was on about after time with Joe.
17:32I don't know what she was on about at all.
17:34So, contrary to popular belief,
17:36Elvis really is dead.
17:37Yeah.
17:38And he speaks to you through the medium of...
17:39No, he doesn't speak to me.
17:40Oh, your friend.
17:41If you concentrate really hard and dive into your imagination,
17:45I'm sure you can probably channel anyone that you want.
17:47Moving on from the afterlife to some still life.
17:50What I would like you to do is draw the person opposite to you.
17:53Go!
17:57Is that Mr Potato Head?
18:01It looks a bit like Jesus at the moment with a big halo.
18:07Three, two, one, face down.
18:12Let me see yours, bubba.
18:15Wow.
18:16Oh, wow.
18:16That's not bad.
18:17Real Heisenberg essence.
18:19Bit of Breaking Bad in there that I can see.
18:21Yeah, I really liked it.
18:21Are you ready?
18:23No, I'm not ready.
18:25Brief in, brief out.
18:29Oh, beautiful.
18:30Can you see?
18:33By Pepe, aged five.
18:36Why do I look?
18:37My eyebrows are, like, down there.
18:40Yeah.
18:40Well done, Pepe.
18:44I am not quite the Leonardo da Vinci,
18:46but, Rich, here is your new portrait.
18:48Ta-da!
18:51I love that Jo's portrayed me as a bit of a deity.
18:55I think she gets my character quite well.
18:56She's nailed it with this.
18:58Oh, wow.
19:00Oh, what?
19:00You're a shame you've done me grumpy.
19:02It's a really grumpy mouth,
19:04and I've not been grumpy at all.
19:06I've been in life and soul and a bit of laughter.
19:08I mean, come on,
19:09I'm bouncing around with laughter most of the time,
19:11so, yeah.
19:13My winner is...
19:15Drum roll, please.
19:16Or not.
19:17Er, Kirsten.
19:18Yeah, it had to be.
19:20And you have a 90s-style fan.
19:23Wow, I used to have one of those,
19:25but it was flat.
19:27Oh!
19:28It doesn't work.
19:29It doesn't work.
19:31It doesn't work.
19:31It don't work.
19:32Hello, is it me I'm looking for?
19:37Everyone was laughing.
19:38They seemed to have enjoyed it.
19:40Me and Jo on better terms.
19:43The air seemed a lot lighter,
19:45which I'm thankful,
19:46because I didn't want that to end badly.
19:47Right, let's keep it going, then.
19:50Ta-ta-da-da!
19:52Black Forest Gato, get stuck in.
19:55So, this is my piece de resistance.
19:58Nice.
19:59Wow.
20:00Like Mama used to make.
20:02Wow.
20:03A couple of years ago,
20:04a friend had a party,
20:05I thought her cake was fake,
20:06so I prodded it.
20:07So, now it's only due,
20:08and there's a cake,
20:09I have to finger it.
20:10So, that'd be my piece, there.
20:13So, I hope you do your own piece.
20:16Go on.
20:18I don't want to finger the cake.
20:20Go on.
20:20Someone's unimpressed.
20:21Go on, Jo, finger the cake.
20:23Jesus, God, I'm doing it with a fork.
20:25There you go.
20:26It just didn't feel right to me to go clunk.
20:29I'd rather sit on the cake.
20:31At least you did it gently.
20:33Oh, wow.
20:34OK.
20:35Crikey.
20:39Come on, girl.
20:42I think I'm converted.
20:44You don't like dessert, do you?
20:46I've never, ever had Black Forest Gato in my life.
20:50And I've converted you?
20:51Yeah.
20:52I was just being nice about the Gato
20:54and being converted,
20:56but the cream was lovely,
20:57but the sponge was really dry.
20:59It's very nice
21:00and I actually will eat for breakfast.
21:04What, you'd have that for breakfast?
21:06Yes.
21:06Really?
21:07I'm Italian, don't forget.
21:08Ah.
21:09Can I have some more cream?
21:11Do you want the bit under the table?
21:13No.
21:14Have you already cleaned the table?
21:16I wish I didn't see it.
21:19I think dessert has put me maybe up there a little bit,
21:23but, you know, we'll see.
21:25Very true.
21:26Scores, please.
21:27I was expecting to taste a really nice traditional British meal,
21:33but I didn't.
21:34So, for this reason, I'm going to score five.
21:38I was really happy with the food.
21:39The presentation was fantastic.
21:40There were just a couple of things
21:42that could have been homemade that weren't,
21:43so it was a little bit disappointing in the end.
21:45So, tonight, I'm going to give Natalia a seven.
21:47The main and the dessert was a no for me, sorry, so it's a four.
21:53The food wasn't quite fine cuisine, but really good effort.
21:57So, I'm going to score Natalia a six.
22:00So, with a lowly 22, Natalia sinks to bottom spot.
22:06Next time, Fossy Peasters.
22:09So, it should be perfectly al dente.
22:12It's okay.
22:13The pasta was not up to my standard.
22:17It was not al dente.
22:19And breathtaking boogieing.
22:20I so got into it.
22:22I love dance anyway, and I've really expressed myself.
22:25We're tired of the 90s.
22:28We're tired of the 90s.
22:31But we're tired to the 90s.
22:34Tired to the 90s.
22:38Remember the 80s?
22:41There was something worse than the 90s.
22:45We're stuck in a path.
22:47Fashion is fast.
22:49And nothing is last.
22:50It's all.
