Episode menu

Series 2, Episode 2 - Valentine's Day

Anthony bans Damien from the kitchen so he can cook a surprise Valentine's Day meal. But Mr Mullaney has to step in when Damien cannot stop his curiosity getting the better of him.

Further details

Tradition in the Trench/MacIlveny household dictates that Valentine's Day is the one day of the year when Damien is not allowed in the kitchen and Anthony can be left alone to cook a special meal for them both.

Despite this, Damien cannot stop himself trying to get into the kitchen to find out what it is that Anthony's preparing, leading Anthony to eventually eject Damien from the house where he ends up in a builder's yard with Mr Mullaney, an experience which Damien finds not altogether unedifying.

Meanwhile, Damien's dad has an unfortunate accident while walking the dog.
