Granada Secures Further Sales on Come Dine With Me

LONDON, May 20: Granada
International has sold the format Come Dine With Me to Antena 3 in Spain and SBS Broadcasting’s Net 5
in the Netherlands.

Local versions are
currently on air in France on M6, the U.K. on Channel 4, Hungary and Croatia on
RTL and Germany on VOX.

The location-based show
features five strangers competing for the title of the ultimate dinner-party
host. Each night for a week they will take turns hosting their idea of the
perfect evening, and at the end of the evening the host is judged by their
guests and scored out of ten. The contestant with the most points at the end of
the week wins a cash prize.

Tobias de Graaff, the senior VP of Granada International for Europe,
commented, “Our universal obsession with food and entertaining continues to
make Come Dine With Me a true winner. It’s a very engaging format, with just
the right amount of schadenfreude for both its competitors
and viewers, which broadcasters are able to really make it work in their
schedules. We’re delighted by its performance on air to date and very pleased
to see other networks acquiring the format for local productions.”
