Ben and Susan arrange a weekend just for the two of them, hoping for some quality time together. However, when Ben opts to lounge around and Susan is eager to spend the days shopping, they come to realise they share no common interests.

The Lost Weekend is a programme presented in the form of an episode. Classified within the episode genre, it delivers a concise, self‑contained story that follows its main characters over a short period. The format allows the narrative to focus tightly on a single weekend scenario. In this story, Ben and Susan arrange to spend a weekend away from their everyday routines, hoping the time alone will bring them closer. They set out with the idea of sharing a private break, each carrying their own expectations of how the days should be spent and what a relaxing escape might look like. As the weekend unfolds, Ben adopts a laid‑back stance, preferring to take things slowly and simply unwind. Susan, on the other hand, feels an urge to go shopping, eager to browse stores and pick up items she likes. Their opposing approaches quickly become evident, underscoring a clear mismatch in how they each wish to fill their shared time. The contrast between Ben's desire to relax and Susan's enthusiasm for shopping leads them to the realisation that they share little common ground when it comes to leisure. By the weekend's end, both recognise that their expectations for a simple, private break clash, exposing an underlying incompatibility that becomes clear during their time together.
