    Savage!

    Ken is plucking up the courage to ask the beautiful Tanya out, he's smartening himself up, and drowning in Aramis, but there's a snag.

    I'm giving this a perfect ten, simply because it contains my favourite ever line from a comedy series, what sign would you expect to see on a winding country lane...... The writing here, the delivery, absolutely phenomenal.

    It's a brutal episode, I have such a love of these characters, seeing Ken and Tanya fall out is tragic, but it's all being set up for the final.

    They nailed every single episode in this series, this penultimate episode is amazing. 10/10.
