Episode 4723 (26th November 1999)

Plot
Curly, Ken, Fred, Nita, Alma and Ashley arrive at Benbury Lodge for their "Forward with Frescho" weekend. They are appalled by the basic accommodation and to find they are to be constantly assessed. Fred and Alma refuse to stay as it's like a prison camp but Curly and Nita force them to stay, saying they have to show what the Weatherfield branch is made of. Their first test is to use planks to cross a river. Nita solves the problem but Fred ends up falling in the river. Emily thinks its hysterical when Les asks her for a character reference. She tells him he's a self-centered, conniving con-man who deserves all he gets. Curly worries that his team will let him down and he'll be fired. Driving home from a dinner, Mike and Linda are pulled over. Mike is breathalysed and arrested. The Freschos crowd are woken at 1.30am and driven into the moors and told to make their own way back for breakfast.
