Ironically, she was also in (famous 70's TV play) "Abigail's Party" alongside Alison Steadman.
Also spookily coincidental, Alison Steadman's character was called Beverley (!!) and both were hilariously pretentious and delusional about their abilities as a host.
Add the cheesy 70's stuff from Mark and basically the episode was a remake of Abigail's Party!!
No really annoying or bitchy contestants this week, thought Mark was OK liked his 70 's style appearance at each dinner party cheesy jokes but all in good spirit. All in all the right person won.
I really found Mark annoying towards the end I liked him a lot more and his style was spot on for him, think it suited him perfectly.Snobby lady what a cheek spending all that money expecting to win and be worshipped. Quite funny her quip on calling the emotional one a cow. And at the end those confetti fountain things, blatantly bought those in the hope she one.
Can't wait for tonights episode, it's coming from the "Kent Swale Estuary", to me and you that's Sheppey, Sittingbourne and Medway The write up in the t.v. mag makes the area sound every so posh-heck who one earth calls it the Kent Swale Estuary..lol
Katie, Stuart and Dan arrive and go upstairs to laugh at Claire’s shoe collection. Katie didn’t like the soup, nor did Stuart or Dan. Katie fed her main to the dog.

Stuart cooking the final meal. He wants everyone to wear a comedy wig.
Starter: prawn ceviche.
Main: Faversham beef and ale stew.
Pudding: gypsy tart.
That was one of the best episodes IMO. Maybe it's because I'm originally from that North West Kent area but it is always funny to see people, frankly "chavs" trying to talk posh.
Katie said "food cricket", I'm sure she said "bassoon" at some point, her comments about Claire's dress were ubelievable given that she herself was dressed as someone even the most ardent of kerb-crawlers would accelerate away from. Did Claire say "I could not coverse..." about the rather seedy invitation to enter the hot-tub?
Also, I understand Stuart likes to eat at famous restaurants, I don't know where I heard that, it was just a kind of "vibe" I picked up from him.
I can't believe they've built ANOTHER bridge to the Isle of Sheppey, I'd have thought demolishing the first one would have been a better idea.
Katie was vile!!. Is she blind, does she not have mirrors in her house!!, and I thought Farida from two weeks ago had bad dress sense!!. I liked Claire the most. The two men were food snobs.
Comments
I can't stand "characters". All I want from the show is a bit of entertainment from recognisable human beings and a few easy recipe ideas.
Bev serves very expensive chamapgne, then gets annoyed when the guests spurn the wine for more of the expensive champagne.
Dull cow. Maybe she should keep her noveau riche habits to herself. If you're going to flaunt it in their faces, no wonder they want a taste of it.

Joint 2nd. Stuart, Katie and Claire. Dan wins.
Yes, she does. They all seemed like caricatures tbh.
