Obiady piątkowe

Mum and dad are having a clear-out, and they’ve enlisted their son’s help. As they settle down for the first family meal of the season mum’s happy to have everyone together, but then things go downhill: their neighbour Jim keeps interrupting because he wants to use their toilet and an eBay bidder turns up to pick up their sofabed.

When Adam and Jonny come home to find Dad secretly peering into his underpants with a magnifying glass, they're desperate to find out what he's looking at. Meanwhile, Adam's first ever jingle is going to be on the radio. Mum is so proud. Unfortunately, none of the radios work in the house.

The boys bring Grandma home for dinner but Grandma gets her hair stuck in the window of Jonny's car. When they eventually arrive, Mum shows the family the new curtains. An argument follows about whether the new curtains are actually yellow rather than cream. Meanwhile, Dad drops Mum's beef casserole all over the kitchen floor.

When Mum finds out that Dad didn't throw away his old boxes of science magazines in their clear-out, she goes mad. So Dad builds a bonfire and promises he'll burn them all. But secretly Dad is only pretending to burn them in the bonfire, instead squirrelling the boxes off to his shed in the garden.

It's Adam's birthday. As he arrives home, a silver Mercedes almost runs him over. Inside, is Sheila Bloom who is famously obsessed with her Mercedes, and after some catty remarks about Adam's car, she speeds off. This leads Dad to make a surprising confession before he tries to cook dinner for the first time ever.

Adam comes home to find the house looking immaculate, with classical music playing in the living room, Mum's posh bowls on the dinner table, Dad in a smart suit, and most mysteriously - five sets of knives and forks laid out. Something major is up. What is Mum up to?
