Dead Man's Dinner

Episode 3 of 6

Jeff and Andy win a posh meal, opening a Pandora's Box of envy, hate and hazelnut yoghurt. Stars Philip Jackson. From 2016.

Jeff and his nephew Andy are contacted by the editor of The Flamford Bugle.

They've won a slap-up dinner for two at Flamford's poshest eaterie, The Royal Albion Hotel.

Eagerly anticipating the night out of a lifetime, Andy and Jeff's dreams of gourmet heaven quickly deteriorate into the nightmare of a lifetime. The prize had been promised to local citizen Wally Metcalfe, but he died just after the draw. Now his widow is on the warpath with her two burly sons.

Social media doesn't help either, and in no time there is a mob baying for Jeff and Andy's blood.

Written by Ian Brown and James Hendrie.
