    Sad and funny.

    Marjorie believes Malcolm and Brenda were up to no good, she pushes Malcolm to the point where he feels that moving out is his only choice.

    I enjoyed this quite a lot, they really did get the right balance of humour and sadness, it's funny all the way through, til the ending, which is pretty sour, ending with an almost final act.

    I laughed at the times Brenda tried to get something to eat, and failed, which of us haven't been it that situation, you're hungry, and things just keep on popping up, and stop you filling your boots, once again it's well observed, everyday humour.

    Marjorie was a real pain here, and definitely the reason for the eventual break up. We see Malcolm, hen pecked, his strings pulled by his mother, and Brenda, a little thoughtless, and a bit impulsive.

    Really enjoyed, 8/10.

      Brenda asks Harold for a vodka and lime but he seems to serve her a neat vodka, and pulls Malcolm's pint in implausibly quick time.
