Definitely a little different this one.

Adam is all set for a blissful Friday night winner, rewarded with beef and profiteroles after winning an award for a jingle. The evening goes in a different direction when Jonny brings a guest home.

The show has had its moments where it's dipped its toe into the realms of fantasy, bit this one is by far and away the most surreal one yet.

Not my favourite episode, but still it did have its moments, great humour between the boys, as they squabble, and of course from Jim.

The outrage shown by Jackie over her son's decision was funny, she was not happy.

Different, 7/10.

Annoying girlfriend doesn't help

Warning: Spoilers
This episode had some very funny moments, especially from Martin with his sick sense of humour and Adam prodding away at his brother Johnny. But Johnnys girlfriend was annoying from start to finish. Her OTT facial expressions and trying to be edgy and controversial all the time wore thin rather fast. And it's not because she's American as I am very fond of several American comedies (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Family Guy etc). It's more that she is an OTT stereotype in general.

And the drama around Jackie feeling betrayed by Johnny for him marrying on a whim wasn't particularly funny, but it was a tad awkward.

But the best part was probably when they announced their divorce and everyone congratulated them! Jackie's joy at inappropriate moments is always amusing but also, thank god Johnnys girlfriend didn't become a regular cast member!
