Here is a thread dedicated to the Preston week of Come Dine With Me, some of the greatest television ever aired.

1. Introducing Nigel, your typical northern iconic gay, and Bernard who you hate the minute you see him.

The next contestant is the star of the show, the legendary Valerie Holliday who has an iconic voice and accent. Her first words in the programme are also iconic.

The next guest is Dawn; a glam 2000s hun. There's also iconic Val and Nigel moments

Nigel showing his love for cans with ring pulls as if they've not been round for years

Val's review where she shows off her iconic teeth and pronounces potatoes as posh as she can

Bernard gets annoyed that no one's talking to him and tells them all, like you do on the first night to make yourself popular.

Now it's Queen Val's night

She's gonna do the best she cannnnnnnnnn

She pronounces past as "porst"

Now on to Val's legendary Pheasannnnnnnntttt which she says about 100 times

Now Val's making her legendary King prawn mornay and providing iconic commentary

So many iconic quotes here, "My friends adore me", "you're protecting the bird so it doesn't dry ouuuuut", "succulennnnnnnt"

I love how she says "I've cut them in half" all seductively

"They enjoyed iiiiitttt, they loved iiiiit", she also gets the tongs out of the washing up bowl to use on the food.

Val serves her Pheaseannnnnnt and keeps saying it

This is the highlight of the night, Bernard starts going on about scorpions and Dawn feels grossed out, Val's "listen, she's throwing up in that loo" quote is amazing.

"Have you not got anyyyyy?"
"D'ya want another pieeeeeeece?"
"Have you got a falllllllk?"
"D,ya want a knife, reallyyyyyyy?"
"Would a spoon helllllp?

I love how she ends every question is the same tone.

Dawn talks about herself again and Bernard starts being a dick and walks out

Val loves jerk chicken

She sounds like Yoda when She says "I'm full once 'av 'ad it"

Queen Val thinks Dawn's night is gonna be Ruddy Outrageous

Dawn attempts to make a Pavlova with 2 non electric whisks, in a jug.

Poor Val doesn't know what Guacamole is

Val taking this piss out of Dawn

This is when the night goes tits up, "no ya got ya 'aire in ya avacado"

Dawn goes to bed and Nigel cooks her main course

Dawn emerges wearing sunglasses and stumbles into the doorframe, very iconic.
