Further details
Matt attempts to woo the latest overpaid TV historian, Bamber Jones, in the hope of editing his new book. To Elizabeth's horror, Matt invites Bamber, a renowned food snob, to dinner, claiming that she's the best chef in East Chiswick.
To add to the pressure of the evening, Leon, who's moved in with the couple while he figures out how to get rid of a violent stalker, decides to gatecrash the Bamber dinner with a potential new client, the latest teenage It Girl, Alison Fennel.
Matt rushes to brush up on his American history ready for the big night and Elizabeth frantically struggles to perfect her pasta malfatti, but will it be enough to impress the great Bamber Jones?
