10/10

Another perfect episode.

Damian Knox requests to see Tim's portfolio, Marsha convinces Daisy to exercise with her.

It just gets better and better, I absolutely loved the previous episode, I'd put this one on par with it, intensely funny, comedy gold from beginning to end.

Marsha stole it for me, it was that moment where she spoke about the powers of exercise, then did what she does best, absolutely brilliant.

It seems to reveal so much about each character, Daisy and Brian in particular. How different did Mark Heap look in that suit.

I've not long watched The Sixth Sense, and I think it's fair to say that there are definitely a few influences. Even the fabulous Olivia Williams pops up here.

Tyres, now the thought of someone delivering on a bicycle in 2001 was almost surreal, fast forward twenty years and it's impossible to be out and about, without seeing an Uber eats cyclist. Loved Michael Smiley in the role.

Awesome,10/10.
