Almost like a favourite film, if it's on I have to watch. It's a celebrity one.

A Killers song on the radio just made me think of it.

If you can guess which one it is, I wonder if you share my sad existence enthusiasm?

No one? Oh.

Oh the Dawn who kept falling asleep episode was my fave too! Although I thought it was more collapsing in a drunken stupor. Didnt she say she was a glamour model too? She was a mess.

Spice17 · 19/04/2013 16:51

It was the Biggins, Edwina Curry, Julia Bradbury and Philip Olivier one.

The song is the Killers 'Are we human or are we dancer' and reminds me of when they were all pissed (sans a boring Edwina, who'd gone home disgusted at their drinking behaviour) and dancing around Julia Bradbury's living room.

BTW why is this thread not showing on AIBU? Have I broken some sort of rule

YeS Hazel that's the one.. Chynna

Great episode

yaimee · 19/04/2013 23:23

the one where Kim (minus aggie) gets wankered on vodka and verbally abuses Claire Sweeney! Bloody hilarious. She must have drunk most of the bottle on top of wine etc, she cannot speak by the end!

MsUumellmahaye · 19/04/2013 23:26

my fav celeb one was the rugby players, hilarious.

yaimee · 19/04/2013 23:26

Awww no! That'll teach me to forget to see if there's a second page!

Thepursuitofhappiness · 20/04/2013 15:15

Oo This has made me nostalgic for come done with me. Anyone know which series the Preston episode is on and I will 4od it if available?

Only criticism of CDWM... Wish there were more all in ones. Perfect weekend tv.

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 15:16

the one with the Tory local councillor who makes a pudding of a sliced banana with squirty cream

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 15:16

i love the Currie one too OP

singaporeswing · 20/04/2013 15:37

The Preston ones are the best ever.

Wannabestepfordwife · 20/04/2013 15:49

I loved Vera poussin being pronounced poussin and the dessert of ice cream with crushed malteasers and fruit coulis ie water and jam she was class.

I also loved the mayor or town cryer who's cat ate the canapés

Wannabestepfordwife · 20/04/2013 15:49

I meant pronounced pussin

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 15:51

Oh yes. Town cryer

AmIthatSpringy · 20/04/2013 15:54

I don't much like the celebrity ones

My favourite was the Edinburgh one, with Lesley the Cougar Blush

Wannabestepfordwife · 20/04/2013 15:57

God I forgot about her iam I don't know what was worse her letching over that young lad or the food that looked like a poo on a plate loved it

Wannabestepfordwife · 20/04/2013 15:58

ami even dam sleep deprivation

Moominsarehippos · 20/04/2013 16:03

I don't like sleb ones or where the people are nasty and coniving.

There was one where one contestant wanted to use the winnings for his sister who was really ill. I'm sure he won (lovely man) and was blubbing. Then on the credits it said he died soon after. Waaaaaaahhhhh!

Gerrof · 20/04/2013 16:09

My fave is the one where a fat man made some sort of vile starter out of cheese which he put in a plastic bag and KEPT IN HIS POCKET NEXT TO HIS BALLS all day to warm it up and ferment it or something.

And then he told the diners how he prepped it. Their faces were a picture.

I liked the sleb one with Lembit Opik, Jodie Marsh, Debbie McGee and thingumybob. lembit is the saddest man alive, he makes Adrian Mole look like an urban sophisticate, and Debbie and Jodie were amazingly really nice.

Gerrof · 20/04/2013 16:09

Oh yes that one where he died, very upsetting.

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 16:11

Lol at urban sophisticate

BadDayAtTheOrifice · 20/04/2013 16:13

My favourite celeb one was with Lesley Joseph when her lamb wouldn't cook and she spent all night crying with laughter.

twinklesparkles · 20/04/2013 16:14

Yanbu ..

I have a favourite episode of escape to the country

FiteFuaite · 20/04/2013 16:15

My favourite was one from West Kirby,I think,and there was an oldish,portly man who had some awful jumpers :D And they asked him to speculate (off screen) on what 'fruits de mer' was and he said,'Well,it could be apples,or pears or even a pineapple' Grin I luffs that man,I do :)

Gerrof · 20/04/2013 16:18

Did you see it ladyM? He has the saddest flat in the world, I swear to god.

I have a fave episode of relocation. It's where that nice young couple sell a tiny flat in London and buy a huge bloody great house in Scotland so they could rent it out and he could do pottery. I thought they were lovely. Far better than most relocations where the mrs wants a house in the Cotswolds and the husband a pied a terre in London and you know he is going to end up being a dirty shagger within six months whilst the wife potters in her new garden.

Gerrof · 20/04/2013 16:20

And Grand Designs, where that psychopath of a man built this ridiculously overwrought design of a house where the seagull wing shaped wooden roof leaked. I wonder what happened there. I secretly hope that the man's wife killed him.
