@bargepole’s post had me thinking not of that unmissable opportunity to review post-progressive sounds. But instead the triumphant return of Friday Night Dinner. This is a slow-burn comedy that has crept up to its fourth series without say the fanfare of Peepshow but is becoming every bit as reliable in delivering 30 mins of top-quality laughs.
The first episode of the new series sees all the FND elements present and correct: a catastrophic cock-up by Dad (‘shit on it’), Grandma behaving badly, withering looks by Mum every 30 seconds, the boys winding each other up continually and a dinner guest who gets the wrong end of every stick. And a pineapple.
Absolutely loved round our house.
