Glass in the soup

Adam and Jonny bring their 'females' home to meet the parents. Cue an overexcited Jackie and an extremely embarrassing Martin...

Featuring: Paul Ritter (Martin), Tamsin Greig (Jackie), Simon Bird (Adam), Tom Rosenthal (Jonny), Mark Heap (Jim), Pearl Mackie (Lucy One) & Rebecca Humphries (Lucy Two).

Press

Robert Popper's family comedy comes to an end with the Goodman boys finally bringing their girlfriends over to meet mum Tamsin Greig, yet not without a typical dose of drama and predictable gags, especially as theyre both called Lucy. There's glass in the soup, unexpected arrivals and embarrassing anecdotes galore.
