This week we're in Torbay on the not-so-sunny English Riviera

First to cook is 23 stone street warden, Gavin Dyer, whose overly ambitious menu soon has him sweating…profusely.

Next up - super fastidious housewife, Alison Deare - cleans for at least 3 hours a day, doesn't like any clutter as it 'gathers dust', and is worried about catching warts from the inside of eggs. Somehow in between her mopping and wiping Alison finds time to prepare an Italian-themed dinner for her guests.

Day three of the culinary competition in Torbay, and it's the turn of political activist and bingo enthusiast, David Ward, to throw his version of the ultimate dinner party. A few cracks have started to show between the guests and he'll have his work cut out keeping the peace.

Tonight's host, restoration expert and well-to-do, Patrick Walker, is keen to show off his palatial house, including 'the biggest Aga in the village'. Sadly, his classical approach to cooking doesn't live up to the setting.

It's the last dinner party of a momentous week in Torbay that has seen furniture breakages, and disagreements aplenty among the five foodie contestants. So it will be a tough job for the final host, Carol, to provide a pleasurable dinner party experience if she wants to try and win that £1000 final prize.

Watch the Torbay chefs in action, weekdays, 5:30pm on Channel 4

  7. How can I meet Patrick. Such a lovely unPc person. A man who cooks. Surely a conundrum.
