Couples Come Dine with Me (2014)

Season 5: Episode 1

This episode heads to the north east of England where married couple Kevin and Lalita kick off the competition with a menu inspired by Italian food and local produce. But their love of hearty portions proves a challenge for the other couples: loved-up Richard and Christine, and married couple Michelle and Charlotte. Some of the guests are left shocked when Kevin serves up black pudding, even though his wife is a pescatarian! Day two sees local girl Michelle and her southerner wife Charlotte put on an Asian themed evening. Finally, it's the turn of oldest couple Richard and Christine to host an evening of what they call dinner party classics. Their simple salad starter and French-inspired chicken leave Kevin thinking the grand is his for the taking. Is his confidence justified or will someone else scoop the cash?
