23 min

Preston, Nigel Evans

Arguably the most famous and beloved week in the history of the show, as some of the most eccentric and combustible contestants get together for an eventful run. The first night sees Nigel accused of neglecting three of his guests.

24 min

Preston, Valerie Holliday

It's eccentric Val's turn to host the dinner party, but the tensions of the first night still remain. Bernard's detailing of exotic foods causes Dawn to be sick, while Dawn's later discussion of a holiday sees Bernard throw a tantrum.

24 min

Preston, Bernard Dorsett

Bernard hosts a Caribbean-themed evening, and presents a bouquet of flowers for both ladies by way of apology for his tantrums. But the guests confess they're on edge after his previous behaviour, and no one is in the mood to party.

24 min

Preston, Dawn Barry

A tired and emotional Dawn falls asleep during her own dinner event, and leaves the cooking to Nigel. While arguably the most lauded and loved episode of the series, it would retrospectively have a downbeat air four years later.

24 min

Preston, Paul Morris

After a week of arguments, upheavals and recriminations, it's left to Paul to host the most relaxed party of the week. There's a peaceful atmosphere for a change, and after the food generally goes down well, it's time to reveal the winner.

24 min

Ipswich, Zoë Condon

The five contestants for this week, all from Ipswich, are: former pub landlady Zoë Condon, who is straightforward about her opinions toward meals; insurance claims technician Barry Davis, who is overly opinionated about what he likes and doesn't like about people; butcher Gerard King, who likes the fun in theatrical people; waitress Lisa Quinton, who detests dirt, either in her surroundings (especially her home and that of others she visits) or people; and school matron Angie Robertson, who's a musical theater fanatic who will sing at any opportunity she can. Zoë Condon is the first to host the dinner party. Her menu consists of gratinéed potatoes with bacon and asparagus as the starter, a shellfish platter as the main course, and strawberries in Pimms jelly with Cointreau ice cream for dessert. Besides the food, the five seem to get along. Does the congenial atmosphere of the evening set the tone for things to come for the rest of the week?

24 min

Ipswich, Barry Davis

Leading into the second dinner, four of the five participants discuss the one remaining person as the most immature of the group (despite they all being about the same age), the immaturity not all a bad thing. And another group of four discuss the excessive alcohol consumption of the fifth, especially in light of that person being "little". Barry Davis is the next to host the dinner party, he who is quietly confident despite nursing a hangover and admitting that his menu contains little effort in terms of cooking skill needed. His menu consists of white Russians for cocktails, Peggy's parsnip soup as the starter, beef goulash with paprika dumplings as the main course, and chocolate and orange risotto as the dessert. Barry is hoping that his entertainment makes up for some lapses in the kitchen. Although the evening still has a congenial tone similar to the evening before, a comment from the one considered the "loose cannon" may prove to be problematic.

24 min

Ipswich, Angie Robertson

Narrator Dave Lamb feels compelled to tell Angie to shut up during her musical night, as she won't stop singing. While Angie's food goes well, her entertainment makes half her guests feel uncomfortable, and there's another bad atmosphere.

24 min

Ipswich, Lisa Quinton

The falling out between Angie and Zoë is the main topic of conversation following last night's dinner, especially by Angie and Zoë, the former who finally has come to realization that Zoë probably doesn't like her. As the next host, Lisa Quinton is hoping to be able to keep the peace at her party, but others don't believe Lisa will be able to pull at least that part of the evening off successfully. Lisa's menu consists of king scallops with pancetta chorizo salad as a starter, chicken mafiosa as the main course, and apple crumble with homemade cinnamon ice cream for dessert.

24 min

Ipswich, Gerard King

The on-going rift between Angie and Zoë is still playing on the minds of all the diners. The fact of Gerard King being the next and last to host may ease everyone's minds about the rift as Gerard seems to have a special place in everyone's heart. Most of his guests expect a meat-laden menu seeing as to his occupation. His menu consists of chicken liver, black pudding and streaky bacon on toast as a starter, pork chops roasted in cider as the main course, and strawberry and cream filo tart as the dessert. He confesses to the camera in private that he is nervous since he has never hosted a sit down dinner party on his own. By the end of the night, the food takes a back seat to the issue of guest relations. But he'll find out then if his food and guest relation services are enough as Gerard announces the winner of the £1,000.

24 min

London, Judi Lembke

Five nights in London begin with American-Swedish journalist Judi. Her four chatty guests are lawyer Lisa, schoolteacher Peter, office manager Moni and product manager Matthew.

23 min

London, Lisa Connell

The guests from last night's dinner discuss their chances of winning in light of the quality of the first party. Lisa Connell is the next to host the dinner party, she who is concerned about two of the guests who have stated that they are highly critical. She is also fastidious about the cleanliness of her work area and her house in general. Her menu consists of king prawn, crab & butternut squash risotto as the starter, roasted lamb shanks and pan-fried sea bass as the two main courses, and a milk chocolate fountain and a cheese plate as the desserts. She has a kitchen equipment malfunction which could spell disaster. A malfunction of a different kind happens during the post-main course drinks in the living room. A final change occurs with the menu as it's being served.

24 min

London, Peter Rixham

The guests are still discussing the wine spilling incident from last night, Judi, the supposed culprit, still not quite admitting to it being her fault. Peter Rixham is third on the list to host the dinner party. He is confident about his menu and hopes he can execute it well. He also hopes the evening will be light and fun for his guests. His menu consists of asparagus wrapped in Parma ham with hollandaise (served ham-less for vegetarian Moni) as a starter, boeuf bourguignon and ratatouille as the main courses, and chocolate mousse with raspberry coulis for dessert. As the evening rolls on, the five discuss the importance of winning versus the importance of having a good time at each party.

24 min

London, Moni Bharij

Moni Bharij is the hostess for the evening. Most of her guests expect that she will go to her Indian roots both for the menu and any additional table décor. They aren't wrong, but are surprised by the ingredients in the main. Her menu consists of king prawn curry as a starter, mixed thali of lamb, chicken, aubergine and lentil curry as the main course, and strawberry and champagne surprise for dessert. Lisa decides to bring Moni a gift reflecting Moni's gifts to everyone else thus far. Conversely, Lisa seems purely by chance to receive the short end of the stick on several occasions during the evening.

22 min

London, Matthew Baker

The five reflect on the four new friends they have out of this experience, many no longer caring if they win the top prize. Matthew Baker is the last of this fivesome to host. He believes he has a good shot at winning having grown up in what he has coined the Jamie Oliver generation. Because of Matthew's boasting during the previous parties, his guests have high expectations of him. His menu consists of basil wrapped tortelloni, mozzarella and tomato as a starter, grilled red mullet as the main course, and duo of tiramisu and experimental fruit soup as the desserts. He hopes his choice of wine impresses one of his guests. They all have a good laugh at Judi's expense about a past indiscretion before Matthew announces the winner of the £1,000.

23 min

Manchester, Dave Wheeler

Joker Dave Wheeler starts off a week in Manchester with a night of sophisticated humour - a fake turd and a fart machine. When Dave's food goes badly, it's left to his entertainment to try to salvage the night: a Mick Jagger impression.

23 min

Manchester, Matthew Nichols

Drama teacher Matthew is the second host of the week, with a meticulously-planned menu. Unfortunately Dave takes centre stage once again, bringing up the subject of Shaida's age and never letting the subject drop.

23 min

Manchester, Jane Bates

Celebrity fan Jane plans an "Oscar Night", with all courses based around film, and "paparazzi" to snap her guests as they arrive on a red carpet. With the diners suitably impressed by the fun, it produces an evening without arguments.

23 min

Manchester, Shaida Shipping

The five competitors discuss how well they have all gotten along so far, with the exception of one person who they feel is the outsider, who isn't aware of this perception. Shaida Shipping is the hostess for the evening. She has listed a surprise as an opening to the evening, that surprise which taps into one of her hobbies. The guests are nervous about what that surprise is. Shaida's menu consists of roly-poly meatloaf as a starter, lamb kichro as the main course, and pineapple cheesecake for dessert. Beyond the quality of the food itself, the guests are surprised that the menu doesn't seem to reflect what they would have expected from her. After the party, the guests remark most about the tone of the evening.

23 min

Manchester, Chris Brady

The four previous hosts reflect on their respective evenings. Shaida has come to the realization of her outsider status among the group. Chris Brady is the last of this fivesome to host. Much like Shaida, Chris has a surprise for his guests, but doesn't tell them that there even is a surprise until their arrival, which he keeps until the end as a cap to the evening. His menu starts with grilled haloumi with salsa. He has an Italian trio as the main course: lasagna, chicken and tomato tagliatelle, and tomato, basil and mozzarella towers. Summer fruit pudding ends the meal. Immediately following the surprise, Chris announces the winner of the £1,000.

23 min

Celebrity Special: All In One

Christopher Biggins, Edwina Currie, Julia Bradbury and Philip Olivier all compete to win £1000 for charity. The week was later shown as four separate episodes in August the same year.

48 min

Sunderland, Tony Griffiths

Guests discover if you can buy class when nightclub owner Tony invites them to his huge house, complete with £26,000 chandelier - and serves them a '70s style menu. Barrister Anthony describes him as "new money" and discovers he cheated.

23 min

Sunderland, Bernice Saltzer

The four guests from the previous evening assess their chances of winning based on first host Tony's performance. Bernice Saltzer is second on the list to host the dinner party. She is hoping to dazzle not only with her food but also her foot wear. Being a PR executive, she kiddingly threatens to mount smear campaigns against her guests if they mark her low. Her menu consists of pear and warm blue cheesecake as the starter, teriyaki salmon as the main course, and a duo of chocolate treats for dessert. During the meal, one diner is the target of the others, not for what is said but for what is not said. Beyond the food, Anthony and Roy dislike something else that Bernice hands over to them. At the end of the evening, Bernice is uncertain of how she will be scored.

23 min

Sunderland, Ashley Hughes

Ashley Hughes is third on the list to host the dinner party. Her menu consists of salmon and tarragon mousse as the starter, beef medallions with a Stilton crust (and sea bass for kosher Bernice) as the main course, and blackberry and lemon ice in brandy snap cups for dessert. In preparing her meal, she demonstrates by its overuse her favourite kitchen gadget, and on which items she spends little thought. Besides the food, she is overly meticulous about another aspect of the evening. By the end of the meal, the one thing her guests did notice was her constant need for approval.

23 min

Sunderland, Anthony Merton-Smith

Anthony Merton-Smith is the host for the evening. His guests are expecting great things from him as the "posh" one of the group, but as he has not divulged much information about himself during the week either, they also believe he could totally surprise them. He is confident about his chances of winning, especially after the first three meals. His menu consists of game terrine with chutney (fish terrine for kosher Bernice) as a starter, roast venison with black cherry sauce (seared tuna for Bernice) as the main course, and crêpes Suzette for dessert.

23 min

Sunderland, Roy Ledger

All five of the diners, even the person whose night it was to host, comment on the totally unusual aspect of one of the dinner parties. But that night promises not to hold a candle to Roy Ledger's, he who is the last of this fivesome to host. Despite it being the middle of summer, Roy has decided on a Christmas theme, which he had not told his guests before they see the menu. His menu consists of garlic mushrooms and seared scallops with prawns as the starters, roast turkey with *some* trimmings (and orange crusted salmon for kosher Bernice) as the main course, and sherry trifle for dessert. He takes a risk by preparing much of the meal in front of his guests. At dinner, talk turns to the unusual items Roy has in his garden, and a special piece of clothing that Anthony is wearing. Followed by the five's discussion of future plans with each other, Roy announces the winner of the £1,000.

24 min

Celebrity Special: All In One

A celebrity special featuring Raef Bjayou, Christopher Ellison, Lynne Franks and Michelle Gayle competing over four separate nights for charity. The week was later shown as four separate episodes in February 2010.
