In Colchester, first host Vanessa is the owner of allegedly the most haunted house in the country, and she hopes not to spook her guests with her gruesome sounding rack of lamb. Night two sees city boy and foodie Michael try and impress with his mobile phone controlled lamb, but there must have been crossed lines as the lamb is raw. On night three basketball coach Maurice turns on the gastronomic charm with steak and chicken consommé served with a side order of poetry, but it's all too much for retired hairdresser Maureen, and the tears flow. The final night belongs to Maureen, but not even the best Deidre Barlow impression this side of Weatherfield can save her prawns served in an ashtray and the night that should have been all about the party, party, party has turned into a nightmare.
