is a programme presented as an episode. It falls squarely within the genre of a scripted, staged entertainment piece, designed to be watched rather than performed live. The title hints at a nostalgic setting, while the format indicates a self‑contained story that unfolds over a single instalment. In this particular instalment, Daphne takes the lead by inviting the rest of the gang to a Victorian‑themed murder‑mystery party. The gathering is meant to be a playful homage to 19th‑century intrigue, with guests dressing up and taking part in a faux investigation. However, the atmosphere shifts when a headless count, a character central to the party’s storyline, appears poised to turn the make‑believe scenario into a genuine threat by beginning to kidnap participants for real. The episode therefore juxtaposes the light‑hearted masquerade of a period‑specific mystery game with the looming danger presented by the count’s actions. As the headless figure prepares to carry out actual abductions, the gang finds themselves caught between the theatrical conventions of the party and the stark reality of a potential crime. This tension drives the narrative forward, keeping the viewers aware that the line between performance and authentic peril is about to be crossed.
