Not exactly a relaxing break for Lee and Lucy.
Sleepin_Dragon22 April 2019
It's always disappointing when a switch is made in transmission dates, and tonight's episode was shelved, not sure why.

Lee and Lucy, Toby and Anna set off on a joint holiday, and of course things don't go to plan. It wasn't a vintage episode, but confining the four meant there was obviously going to be a meltdown. It was a funny power struggle, with Anna of course taking over. There are some very funny scenes, and sharp one liners, but of course it's the caustic comments overheard by Toby that's the best scene.

It's great to see Lee and Lucy as a team, so different to the early years, they have great chemistry.

Great fun. 8/10

Funny but Infuriating

Lee and Lucy share a holiday home with Anna and Toby and it's about as peaceful as you'd imagine with these characters.

There's quite a few funny individual lines and it's always great when the characters have to think on their feet. Seeing them come up with lies to get to do what they wanted as opposed to the other couple was fun.

What annoys me a little and it's probably silly is that Lucy never seems to listen to or believe anything Lee ever says and once again here he's absolutely right. Anna and Toby were so controlling and she allows them to walk all over her and criticises Lee when he tries to prevent that.

Despite that this episode still provides great laughs. Especially seeing their lie unravel and how Anna and Toby responded to it. The pushy joke is brilliant too!

Holiday Share

Lee & Lucy decide to go away for a break with Toby & Anna.

It is all about the conventions of sharing a house.

Trouble is Toby & Anna take the best bedroom, the one with the tub in the middle of the room.

Anna also insists on cooking. Even Lee has to concede this is not a bad thing. After all, Lucy could only offer Spag Bol.

Lee to get his own way invents an anniversary of Lee & Lucy's first meeting. However there is another convention of house sharing. Not to leave first so the remaining couple are left clearing up.

The episode has a tight economy of writing and Lee Mack manages to make it funny.
