Ghostly visitors, family secrets & one dinner party heading for disaster

Celebrated TV medium Darius Divine, host of the hit light-entertainment show The Other Side, is planning a cosy family dinner. He expects a little awkward small talk.

As dinner burns and tensions rise, the line between performance and reality starts to shatter. Secrets surface, jealousies ignite and Darius finds his carefully planned evening slipping further out of control.

The star cast includes Rufus Hound, known for One Man, Two Guvnors and Wind in the Willows, Susie Blake from Victoria Wood and Coronation Street, and Carla Mendonça from My Parents Are Aliens and Coronation Street.
