    Another classic.

    It's quiz night at The Grapes, Ken is trying all he can to bring the customers in, obviously the Quiz throws up a few surprising results.

    It's another brilliant episode, it's one that I really thought belongs to Joan and Eddie, the pair are sensationally funny here, it was hilarious to see them get a question right. The best joke surely had to be the one about The Nolan Sisters.

    It's a joy to watch.

    I loved the reference to James McAvoy, who's described as being bloody Shameless, classic line. 9/10.
