"A funny family sitcom" is not a phrase I often find myself using these days. But this Jason Byrne creation is that rare thing - and it doesn't take a whole series to bed in. It's offered up a high percentage of laughs-per-line since its debut. That's partly due to the writing, of course, but equal credit must go to the ensemble cast.

Last week, I highlighted Pauline McLynn, who plays Jason's fictional mother, but the star of this episode is Dominic Applewhite (The King's Speech, The Inbetweeners) as belligerent son Dylan, who delivers such telling teenage lines as: "Don't leave me with Gran and Grandad - they smell of Countdown."
