Tonight it’s the turn of the only man in the group – Ayr's answer to Donald Trump – Forbes Robertson.

Casino owner Forbes is no stranger to the high life, but he’s from humble beginnings and he’s planning a dinner party that reflects his down-to-earth roots.

Everyone is expecting nothing but the expensive best – smoked salmon and caviar – but they couldn’t be more wrong, because Forbes is serving up pig's trotters – a steal at just thirty pence a trotter.

Although Forbes has skimped on the food, he’s going to splash out on the booze. But can any amount of champagne lessen the shock of finding a pigs foot on your plate?

When the girls arrive, they soon catch onto Forbes’ plan to ply them with champagne – but they don’t have any objections and it seems things are going well, but soon it’s time for the dreaded pig's trotters.

As Forbes serves up – everyone has plenty to say about his thirty pence a head treat – but once they’ve tried the trotters, will they change their minds?

  1. I think this programme is amazing....... I watched it once by mistake and now I can't miss an episode. The funniest one ever is this one wich was Forbes from Ayr. He was the funniest thing ever. I Love the show and a repeat of this one would be fab.

  3. Absolutely dreadful. Took nearly an hour and a half to cook and what's more there was barely any edible meat on the trotter. If you fancy chewing your way through a lot of skin, fat and gristle, go for it. Personally I'm sticking to sausages.
