TV dinners for city eaters

Five locals battled it out in the kitchen to impress each other with their culinary creations and win the £1000 prize.

The episodes, filmed at five homes in the Capital, will be shown on Channel 4 from Monday to Friday at 5.30pm.

Among the contestants was events manager Peter Ferguson from Leith, who served his guests a pricey main course of chateaubriand, setting him back £60.

The 35-year-old, who is the director of Edinburgh-based pdf Productions Limited, said: “I enjoyed the experience, it was good fun. It was knackering too, there was a couple of clashes of personality. Entertaining four strangers is a unique experience and nothing could prepare you for it.”
