Friday Night Dinner - Series 4

[-crookedtail-]

Not one of my favourite episodes but it still made me laugh out loud, although agree with the comments about the guest who was just awful!!

Wonder when grandma (Jackie's mum, not horrible grandma) will make an appearance? She is brilliant!

Mark Heap (Jim) is the absolute star of this series. The scenes with his date, the shaloms in the hot tub, "I have a new bin so I tried to use yours", running away from the "tiny man" and other moments have had me in stitches. Love him.

Jim is one of my absolute favourite characters of all time. Absolutely brilliant. Good series- episodes 1 and 4 have been immense, 2 and 3 less so.

Jim from Friday night dinner has done some very bad stuff.

I have a bit of a crush on Auntie Val...

[BRISTOL86]

Love the show but very poor episode.

Wasn’t a fan of that one at all, Adam was just annoying more than anything else!

Jim still makes the show and Martin’s ‘buggering’ was funny though.

[WolfieBot]

Better than last week but it does feel like they're running out of ideas now.

Jackie and the boys still have a great dynamic. Martin is getting a bit ridiculous now though.

Every time they bring in a new character, (Spencer this week) they just seem to forced and over the top.

[Hub]

Yes, they are running out of ideas - oh, is that the door? I wonder who it could be!

The younger son's acting just comprises of ever more exaggerated disgusted facial expressions, and Jim is far from Mark Heap's best character (yes, he's scared of his dog, we get it) - his date was funny though, I'll admit.

[FiF]

Although with his tricks Johnny would have got a full on kick in the hollyhocks by now.

Jim calling Jackie Mummy lol.

If anyone is a fan of Mark Heap, and hasnt seen Green Wing, watch it, he is utterly hilarious in that.

Going further back, Spaced of course. I wouldn’t be surprised to find he uses Brian in some degree as an inspiration for Jim.

Not really sure of the need for that bit tonight, it wasn’t funny or sad just cringe and unnecessary really.

[WolfieBot]

Pretty sad if not unnecessary ending.

Think it's run its course now.

Yep, unnecessary, and Jonny definitely needs a good kick in the nads. Still, estate agent, so par for the course, probably in the job description.

[MrOnTheRopes]

As much as I've loved this show the childish crap between Jonny and Adam has really started to get on my tits during this series. Jim and Martin are the best, particularly Martin's put-downs to those clowns. "Stupid penis!"

Got introduced to this by a friend this week, how did I miss this! It's brilliant!

Series 1 and 2 are the best.
