Summary[]
Basil tries to up the reputation of his inn by opening up a "gourmet night" at his dining room. The inaugural night goes woefully awry when his gourmet chef falls off the wagon, leaving him without a way to serve his upper crust guests. He tries to save the evening, but car troubles push him completely over the edge.
Quotes[]

Basil: If you don't like duck, (laughs nervously) er you're rather stuck.
Mrs Hall: Fortunately I love it.
