Mum and dad are having a clear-out, but dad is reluctant to chuck away all his tatty old magazines, and ropes in Jonny to secretly hide the stash back at his flat. Mum is very excited because it's the final of Masterchef, while Jonny thinks it's 'Mastershit'.

Mum is trying to get on with dinner, but their neighbour Jim keeps interrupting to use their toilet as he's mysteriously broken his own loo. Meanwhile Dad has forgotten a man is coming to pick up their old sofabed.

Will mum get to see her precious Masterchef?
