Brenda gives Malcolm another chance, and the pair head to an Indian Restaurant, Malcolm also meets Brenda's sister Pamela, he doesn't give a great first impression.
If the first episode was about setting up Malcolm and Brenda, this second one introduces the peripherals as it were, the extras. Pamela is brought on, introduced to Malcolm in a very funny scene, and Malcolm's wonderful, domineering mother is also brought in.
I enjoyed this more than the first episode, I thought it was funny, the sarcastic tone carries on really well, but the characters are are so rounded, so likeable, just love Patsy Byrne, she's class.
Best scene had to be Malcolm's watching of Pamela, it was actually very funny.
It's definitely another 1980's will they or won't they sitcom, but it is different, they feel very real somehow, they're not over the top or fake, they feel like real, ordinary people.
Enjoyed very much, 8/10.
