Mum is in hospital having a 'woman's procedure', so Aunty Val is tasked with making the Friday night dinner.

Adam and Jonny are relieved when Mum and Dad return, but there's no chance of any R&R for poor Jackie: Loverboy 309 is picking Val up from the house in 40 minutes.
Thus begins an evening of hell for the Goodmans as Val forces them to eat their lamb dinner in record time, followed by her secretly hated 'vomit-in-a-bowl' rice pudding.
