Episode menu

Series 1, Episode 1 - The Sofa

Vince's new flatmate, Errol, is allowed to stay in the flat on the condition that he uses his Tesco Clubcard when he goes shopping. The new housemates soon witness the trouble an old two-seater sofa can cause.

Further details

Vince injures his ankle after slipping on a prosthetic arm beside the swimming pool.

Not happy with sitting next to someone, Vince sells the sofa in a small ad in the Loot.

Maxi, who works at taxi firm Mama Cabs, collects it and Vince says she has to take it now - before realising that the Clubcard has fallen down the back of it. Now he has to chase after her to get it back.

Notes

This episode's theme music is Tito Puente's On The Street Where You Live.

Charlotte Palmer isn't credited on this episode, but she was the voice of the fat woman who tells her husband to close the curtains before they have sex.
