Further details
Hebburn lays out the red carpet for Sarah's parents, Ben and Susan from York, who are visiting the Pearson home for the first time. So, Pauline is immersing herself in Jewish culture via Google to make sure everything is perfect.
Ben and Susan are immersed in Geordie culture with Ramsey's help as well as with Vicki and Denise's choice of outfits for the fancy dress competition at Swayze's. The competition turns to violence though when some outsiders turn up at the pub but Ramsey is the unlikely hero of the hour.
Meanwhile, Susan and Pauline almost come to blows when Jack and Sarah announce that they are having a second wedding - but should it be in Hebburn or York? Luckily Hebburn's answer to the UN, Dot, is at hand.
