Long-time contributing editor to Lib Dem Voice, Alex Foster, is cooking up a storm on this week’s Come Dine With Me, the hit Channel 4 gourmet gameshow. And tonight, Tuesday, at 5pm is when viewers will be able to view his cooking episode, which is trailed thusly:
In Nottingham, local councillor Alex Foster hopes to impress with a fancy French menu and a spot of bell ringing. Sadly, Brian likens Alex’s starter to cat food, Janice tells him to tidy up his house, and Barry compares the cornichons to intimate body parts.
Which must surely count as must-watch telly, yes?
You can read all about Alex’s preparations for the show on his own blog here:
I got the phonecall to say I’d definitely be on shortly before going on honeymoon – I received the call on my mobile while I was in Nottingham Council’s new HQ, and given I was surrounded by Council staff, I had to be extremely restrained in my reaction. It was basically “Oh. My. God.” The enormity dawned.

Alex Foster – ‘putting the camp in campanologist’ 🙂
Hope it went well for Alex, can’t stand the show myself, but it is a bit of fun and it’s good to see folks having fun.
Unfortunately I can’t watch it out here 🙁
An update….. he didn’t do very well – he’s currently in last place.
Very brave of him anyway, it’s a pretty unforgiving show.
Frank – it’s all about the taking part 🙂
