Battling it out in the north east are English teacher and competitive foodie Jenni McGagh, hairdresser Bobby Mukabaa, bowel-obsessed colonic irrigationist Cath Morgan, and cheeky-chappy butcher Dan Freeman. While Bobby looks a bit like Gazza and brags about his celebrity client list, Jenni's none too keen on his bread and butter pudding, and decides to hide it. Cath's `bowel-enhancing' evening leaves her guests wanting less information. Butcher Dan hopes his award-winning black pudding and top quality steak fillets will win him the competition. But unfortunately he makes a schoolboy error cooking his meat.
