Series 2, Episode 2 - Lust for Royston Vasey

The nosebleed epidemic takes hold, Royston Vasey receives a visit from the flamboyant Herr Lipp and his students, and Pauline gets a job serving fries at Burger Me!

Further details

Guten tag, und willkommen to England! Is he misunderstood or a creepy pervert? German teacher Herr Lipp brings a coachload of schoolchildren and a dictionary of double meanings from Duisburg to Royston Vasey on an exchange trip. He is immensely looking forward to staying with Justin, the young, brooding schoolboy, but is not so keen on his mother Bobby.

Bitter Pauline and her gormless sidekick Mickey both get jobs at Burger Me, the local fast food joint, and Pauline seeks her revenge on evil Ross.

Dr Chinnery attempts some dental work on an iguana but is not successful to say the least.

And Benjamin, having spent some unwelcome time in the Local Shop, is being nursed back to health by the Dentons in that unique way only they know how.
