Him & Her - Season 1 (2010)

There's a whole crowd round at Steve's to watch football on television but Becky's sister Laura is bored and keeps interrupting,her boy-friend Paul in pieces having just learned that he was adopted and Steve distracted by a dream he had of Becky having sex with her last boyfriend. Steve's friend Barney and his dad Mike are there too and accuse Steve of racism when he claims that 'Black people are fun'. Fortunately Barney's girl-friend turns up and agrees with Steve. And she's not only black but called Gay as well.

It's Sunday and Steve is about to meet Becky's parents,Jill and Nigel,for the first time, as they are coming to mend the fridge.Already jittery,having heard that his uncle has just died,he is over-friendly towards them,offering them out of date yogurts and dropping rape into the small talk. It doesn't help that the fridge isn't broken at all,the thermostat is just turned down too low.Carnal noises from the flat above as Dan entertains Paris,in all likelihood a hooker,add to the awkwardness and Becky and Steve are mightily relieved when the parents have gone home.

After an evening in the pub Becky and Steve are rowing. He accuses her of flirting with her childhood friend Jamie but Becky insists he's gay. Then Jamie comes in,along with Shelly,Laura and Paul,who's nicked a traffic bollard. They're all drunk. Dan comes down and cosies up to Shelly but Steve feels ganged up on as they all criticise his music collection. Eventually he locks himself and Becky in the toilet for a heart-to-heart,after which it all works out well.
