Friday Night Dinner Season 2 Episode 6
The boys come home to find the house in a real state. The builders have been in, and everywhere they look, there’s mess. On top of this, there’s a mouse in the house, and mum is hiding in the shed. Dad – who’s clueless in the kitchen – is left in charge of dinner (‘I might as well be boiling a table’). But when Jim (Mark Heap) pops round to see if he can help around the house, something quite terrible happens to him, and mum is forced – out of guilt – to ask Jim over for dinner. This is Jim’s happiest moment ever – finally, his first ever Friday night dinner with the Goodmans. Dad and the boys are livid with mum for asking him round. What follows is an excruciating dinner scene; along with Jim’s peculiar eating habits (‘I prefer to tear my food’), Jim’s conversation skills have a lot to be desired (‘Martin, are you circumcised?’ he asks an unsuspecting dad). Things get even worse very quickly, as Jim leaves a trail of destruction in the house.
