Learning that their posh neighbours have an ancient claim over their land, Mike and Alison throw a swanky dinner party to help resolve a thorny issue.

But with the ghosts her only guide to high-class decorum, the evening starts badly and only gets worse - thanks to Mary's woeful catering, Mike's clueless deal-making and Robin's raucous celebration of the lunar eclipse.

Elsewhere, the banished ghosts become obsessed with a TV sitcom. Will they shake off their obsession to help Alison in her hour of need?
