Bobby's love of fun and frolics is the inspiration behind his `School Days' theme menu and dress code. And while tiny dancer Wayne Sleep is excited about trying `Sir's Sausage and Mash', actress Lesley Joseph is more concerned about looking a prat in her pinafore and straw boater. With It Girl Tamara Beckwith and Apprentice star Raef Bjayou adding a generous dollop of posh perspective, Bobby's evening quickly becomes a raucous night of bad behaviour, poor spelling and even a caning for mischievous schoolboy Wayne. Will Bobby's evening be a lesson in fine food and entertainment, or will he be sent to the naughty step after yet another night of culinary gaffes?
