Nicky comes to stay
Sleepin_Dragon11 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Kate agrees to look after a friend's son while they're off to the Caribbean, a fourteen year old boy called Nicky, complete with his dog. Nicky asks Lee to make an effort, Nicky is a subdued goth, with a darker outlook on life. They head off to the pub, Nicky forms an instant dislike for Lee, but finds a common ground with Tim. Kate attempts to turn the dog into a vegetarian, with little success.

I loved Kate's scene with the dog, really funny, was a fabulous dog. Another funny, entertaining and fresh episode, every single episode of the first series has felt original and unique. The pond scene was utterly hilarious.

Lighthearted, funny and sweet, cracking episode, 8/10

Kid

Lee gets to crack a few old jokes riffing on Ken Dodd. He is trying to make 14 year old Nicky laugh. Kate has taken him in as his parents attend a wedding in the caribbean.

Trouble is Lee has problems being on the same level of a teenage goth. Tim has no issues as he and Nicky share the same taste in heavy metal music. Tim also gets on well with Nicky's dog as Lee is allergic to dogs.

I liked how Kate has issues with giving the dog vegetarian food. Meanwhile Tim kept eating the dog food by mistake and realised that it was better than Kate's vegetarian food.

Both Lee and Tim continue with their rapid fire gags to each other and to Nicky. Trouble is he does not find Lee's joke funny.
