They discuss topics ranging from eggplant to the latest episode of "Coronation Street," all while trying to keep the kids occupied.
As the night wears on, however, tensions begin to rise. Dave and Denise are running late, and the Royles are beginning to feel the strain of looking after the children for so long. When the kids start to get restless and misbehave, the family begins to bicker and argue.
