Marcella needs to tell her family about Billy's drug problems - but she can't bear to dent her mother's faith in her golden boy. After contacting her hot-headed father, and finding him to be as unhinged as usual, she reluctantly turns to Simon for help. And, after some soul searching - and typically unhelpful advice from her life-coach - Marcella feels ready to admit her feelings to Jon.

GameFace is the funniest sitcom of the year - review
So how about that bold claim that GameFace is 2017's best new homegrown sitcom? Well, its only serious rivals have been Mitchell and Webb's Back, parenting satire Motherland and rural mockumentary This Country. GameFace arguably out-laughed and out-charmed them all. It even ended on a sweetly optimistic note. Let's hope the second series doesn't take another three years.
