Grosvenor in Torquay, a typical three-star British holiday
hotel. Manager Mark launches Party Night, an entertainment
extravaganza that it is hoped will keep the guests coming
back for more. Mark worked with his father on the music hall
circuit as a child, and intends to bring his dad’s
favourite song, ’When You’re Smiling’, back to life
for the hotel guests. He begins by hosting Play Your Cards
Right with deputy manager Christian dressed in drag as his

Title: How to Cook like Heston
Description: Heston Blumenthal demonstrates how to perform culinary magic
in domestic kitchens. This week Heston challenges the way we
cook eggs, the most versatile ingredient in the kitchen.
First up he reveals that the secret to a great boiled egg is
simple, don’t boil it! Instead, bring it to the boil, take
it off the heat and let it stand for six minutes in hot
water. After showcasing his special techniques for the
perfect poached egg and challenging how his local Bray
Women’s Institute scramble, Heston then runs through how
to make his signature scotch egg, crunchy on the outside
with a runny yolk in the middle. There’s a master class in
how to achieve a perfect lemon custard tart every time
without fail, by using a thermometer. Also, with a bit of
Heston magic, the Women’s Institute are invited to sample
his famous bacon and egg ice cream made with dry ice
