Episode 1.3 - £5000

Rick gets in a punch-up at an awards ceremony and ends up with a black eye.

In-Depth Episode Synopsis

Warning: the below synopsis may contain spoilers

Back at home, he fails to find sympathy from Madga (who recommends putting vodka on it) or from Marty (who is more worried about a show they are pitching to the BBC).

Meanwhile, his partner Mel points out that Rick has mistakenly pledged a vast amount of money to café-owner Michael for a forthcoming sponsored charity event.

Rick tries to wangle his way out of the sponsorship with various ploys, and ends up succeeding - but in an unintended and catastrophic way.
