The premise
Here’s the bit.
Waiting for a dinner date, a jittery man follows his friend's advice to channel a hero and summons celebrity chef Gary Rhodes in his bathroom, a version pieced together from half-remembered details and a stray violin. The imaginary chef is happy to talk cooking but squirms on learning the date is a man, and the two bicker over whether the prejudice belongs to Rhodes or to the man's own mind. Rhodes sticks around to serve the meal, the date goes well, and the evening closes with another hastily imagined celebrity guest.
The funny people
Meet the cast. 5
Say it with us
Highly quotable.
No, but this is the best version of me that your imagination could piece together.
Sorry, are you having a problem with me being gay?
No, I'm not, but you obviously think I am.

Man
Make yourself comfortable. The wine's in the fridge.
- 00:12
Man
Oh, just relax. It's only a date.

Friend
Whenever I get nervous on a date, I just try and think to myself, what would Cary Grant do in this situation?
- 00:23
Man
Yeah, but I don't really have any heroes like that.
- 00:25
Friend
You quite like that Gary Rhodes book I bought you.
- 00:28
Man
Yeah, he's all right.
- 00:37
Man
Who are you?
- 00:39
Gary Rhodes
Gary Rhodes!
- 00:42
Man
Are you?
- 00:43
Gary Rhodes
Yes! Yes, I'm Gary Rhodes!
- 00:46
Man
Is... but is that what Gary Rhodes looks like?
- 00:49
Gary Rhodes
No, but this is the best version of me that your imagination could piece together. As far as you're concerned, I'm Gary Rhodes, and that's all you need to know.
- 00:59
Man
All right, well, um, as you're here, have you got any advice, Gary Rhodes, about the date?
- 01:07
Gary Rhodes
Um, I'm really more of a cooking man. What sort of thing does she like?
- 01:12
Man
Well, I don't really know what he likes.
- 01:15
Gary Rhodes
He?
- 01:16
Man
Yeah, he's just through there.
- 01:18
Gary Rhodes
Mmm. Oh.
- 01:20
Man
What?
- 01:20
Gary Rhodes
What? Nothing. I'm fine with it. I've just never cooked for a... ..for one of you before.
- 01:27
Man
Sorry, are you having a problem with me being gay?
- 01:29
Gary Rhodes
No! Shut up.
- 01:31
Man
Is Gary Rhodes homophobic?
- 01:33
Gary Rhodes
No, I'm not, but you obviously think I am. You've also given me this. I think we both know what you've done there.
- 01:40
Man
So, what would you do in this situation? I haven't been on a date in three years and I think this guy's great.
- 01:46
Gary Rhodes
Great. Ooh.
- 01:48
Man
No, you are Gary Rhodes.
- 01:50
Gary Rhodes
I am. I'm Gary Rhodes. For you.
- 01:53
Man
So, let's say Gary Rhodes, the real Gary Rhodes, is driving past and his car breaks down and his mobile's out of battery so he knocks on the door and asks to use the phone, what would happen to you?
- 02:04
Gary Rhodes
Well, I'd probably start to look a lot more like the real Gary Rhodes, because you'd see what he actually looks like and you wouldn't have to make up the bits you can't remember out of your family and friends, but, you know.
