Further details

Meanwhile, preparations are in full swing for a dinner party, and dad agrees to let Ben crack some eggs - which is a huge mistake.

As the guests arrive, Ben gets his first taste of gin and mum gets some unwelcome news from Angela. The drink soon loosens some tongues, and things are said that can never be taken back. The dinner party becomes a disaster zone, and, this time, the parents can't blame any of it on the kids!
