Clip 1 S01 E01 |
Breaking up is hard to do. Sometimes it leaves you speechless. Literally. |
Man |
I can't believe this is happening. |
Woman |
Yeah, I know. I know. |
Man |
We... we had some great times, right? |
Woman |
Oh, yeah, great times. |
Man |
[Mumbling whilst crying] |
Woman |
Sorry? |
Man |
[Mumbling whilst crying] |

I'm a transformer? |

[Agitated mumbling] |
Woman |
Forever? |
Man |
Yeah! |
[Mumbling whilst crying] |
Woman |
You will attack me with your robot army forever? |
Man |
Nooo! |
Clip 2 S01 E01 |
When your dog is put on a special diet by your vet, you'd better follow the advice. Because if you don't, there's a chance your beloved pet might just explode. |
Man |
Oooh. Oh, yes that's a good boy. |
Woman |
What are you doing? |
Man |
I'm watching telly. What does it look like? |
Woman |
Don't be sarcastic. |
[Into phone] |
Uh-huh. |
[To BOYFRIEND] |
Did you read the sheet? |
Man |
What sheet? |
Woman |
His diet sheet. The vet said it was really important. |
Man |
I think I know how to feed a dog properly. |
Woman |
What is it with you and instructions? |
[Into phone] |
Yeah. |
Man |
A dog is a dog. If he doesn't like it, he is not gonna eat it. |
Woman |
Well, the vet said to me... |
Man |
Oh, the vet said, the vet said. He's all right, look at him. Ain't ya, boy, eh? You're all right, ain't ya? Ain't ya? |
[Dog whines briefly and then explodes sending blood and entrails all over the kitchen] |
Man |
I'd better have a look at that. |
Clip 3 S01 E01 |
Being a doctor means learning how to deliver bad news to patients. Managing their expectations and their reactions. And honesty is really important. I'll say that again. Honesty is REALLY important. |
Doctor |
We have had your test results. May I be blunt with you? |
Patient |
No. |
Doctor |
Right. Well... everything is fine. You're not gonna die. |
Patient |
Oh, that's brilliant. Thank you. Bye. |
Doctor |
Bye-bye. |
Clip 4 S01 E01 |
A poet reading from his latest anthology in a packed bookstore. What could go wrong? It's poetry about love. Forbidden love, to be precise. |
Host |
Reading from his new anthology, I'm very excited to welcome here onto this stage, Mr. Julian Ramon. |
[Applause] |
Girlfriend |
That's my boyfriend. |
Julian |
Erm, this one's called To The One I Love. "Her lips are like roses, her hair flows like wine, her skin is so soft, and her eyes are divine. I ache to be with her, I long for her touch. I love my dear mummy, I love her too much." |
[Man coughs] |
Girlfriend |
It's probably just a metaphor. |
Julian |
"Her body's a castle I dare not invade, her bottom's a bank I'm forbidden to raid. Society's prison, oh, when will I be free? Oh, when will it be just my mummy and me?" |
[Scattered applause and whispering] |
This next piece is called Daddy's Sack of Love. |
Clip 5 S01 E01 |
If you're going to make lude, offensive and sexist comments about an attractive woman in public, it's probably best NOT to do that with your partner and mother of your child beside you. |
Man |
Look at the bangers on that! I can't believe what I'm seeing. |
[Groans] |
One, two, tit pie. Uh! I'm eating that, I'm gonna eat that up. Unbelievable! I wouldn't mind hanging out the back of her. Ooh. Yes, yes, yes! Ohh! |
Woman |
Were you checking her out? |
Man |
[Chuckles] |
Don't be so paranoid. |
Clip 6 S01 E02 |
There's nothing worse than a nervous flyer. No, actually, I take that back. There is. A friend who doesn't know what an aeroplane is, why he's on one and what it's about to do. Definitely worse. |
[MAN 1 is fastening his seat belt] |
Man 2 |
What are you doing? |
Man 1 |
Seat belt. |
Man 2 |
What? What for? |
Man 1 |
Well, it's safety, innit? |
Man 2 |
What? |
Man 1 |
The light's come on, you've got to put your... your seat belt on. |
Man 2 |
What? Well, when... when did this start off? |
Man 1 |
What, seat belts? |
Man 2 |
She's got no seat belt. |
Man 1 |
Stop pointing. |
Man 2 |
Looks pretty sh*t. |
Man 1 |
Just standard safety procedure when you're on board an aeroplane. |
Man 2 |
What the fu*k is an aeroplane? |
Man 1 |
You've seen an aeroplane before. |
Man 2 |
[Laughs] |
What? No, I haven't. |
Man 1 |
Yeah, yeah, you have. It's what, it's what we are on, now. Takes off in the sky. Goes to different countries. |
Man 2 |
Do I look like an idiot? |
[The aircraft spools its engines and commences take-off roll] |
Man 2 |
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa hang on. Hang on. What's happ...? Sweet baby Jesus, what's happening now? Ahh! Ahhh! Ahhhh! Make it stop, you fat fu*k! Ahhhh! |
Clip 7 S01 E02 |
They say that marriage changes people. That they make less effort once they're man and wife. And, in this case, that change becomes apparent even at the altar. |
Claire |
There is and never has been any other man for me, Robert, and I promise to love you and go on loving you until the day I die. |
Robert |
Claire, I can't tell you how happy you've made me. |
Priest |
I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride. |
Claire |
So, this is it, we're really married now, yeah? |
Priest |
In the eyes of the Lord, yes. |
Claire |
Brilliant. |
[Farts] |
Oh, yes! I've been holding that in for four years. |
Clip 8 S01 E03 |
I'm not condoning this sort of behaviour but I appreciate its genius. Of course, it's going to spell the end of a friendship but at least Neil got to fondle Vicky's tits. I guess. |
Neil |
Hi, Vicky, is Simon in? |
Vicky |
He's just having a shower. |
Neil |
Oh, how was Torremolinos? |
Vicky |
Oh, it was great, yeah. |
Neil |
It's good, innit? I don't know why it's got the reputation it has. I've never noticed before, you've got absolutely fantastic breasts. |
Vicky |
What? |
Neil |
What? |
Vicky |
Oh! Erm... thank you. |
Neil |
I'd love to touch them. |
Vicky |
I beg your pardon? |
Neil |
You know, just one of them actually. I bet they feel lovely. I'll give you a hundred quid. |
Vicky |
Simon's just upstairs. |
Neil |
I'm not gonna tell Simon. I'll put it there. |
[NEIL places the cash on the coffee table] |
Vicky |
Right, go on then, if you're quick. |
[NEIL sighs and begins fondling VICKY'S right breast] |
Neil |
Just, er... Ooh. Oh, that... that's nice. |
Vicky |
Is it? |
Neil |
Yeah. That's lovely. That's, uh... ooh. Oh, yeah, that's smashing. That's... that's yours. Yeah, I know, me and Kerry went to Torremolinos a couple of years ago. I couldn't believe how packed it was. I'm sorry, it's no use, I'm gonna have to touch the other one now. |
Vicky |
What? |
Neil |
I'll give you another hundred. There's... there's the goods. |
[NEIL places more money on the coffee table] |
Vicky |
Yeah. |
Neil |
Okay. Just... oh, yeah. That's... that's quality. Lovely, yeah. What was the weather like? |
Vicky |
Erm, er, it was great. |
Neil |
Smashing, yeah. Ooh, I better go. |
Vicky |
But, uh... Simon's just... |
Neil |
See ya. |
Vicky |
...coming down. |
Simon |
Who was that? |
Vicky |
Er, oh, yeah, no, that was, that was Neil. He, erm, he wanted to see you but then he had to go. |
Simon |
Did he bring that two hundred pound he owes me? |
Clip 9 S01 E03 |
What is it about first-time parents that they have to extol the virtues of parenthood to anyone who will listen? I mean kids are wonderful but not everyone wants one. So just stop it. STOP IT! |
Party Guest |
She is gorgeous. |
Smug Mother |
Oh, thank you. She's our first. |
Smug Father |
Do you have children of your own? |
Party Guest |
Er, me? No, no... I don't have. |
Smug Mother |
Oh, my god. Why not? You should do. When I see a woman like you, you should have kids. |
Party Guest |
Oh... well, it's just not for me. |
Smug Mother |
Oh, no, you really should. They make all the difference, you know. |
Smug Father |
They are wonderful. |
Party Guest |
Okay, maybe, yes. It's just, mmm, it's just, no, I'm not, I'm not going to. |
Smug Mother |
Every single woman should be a mother, so... |
Smug Father |
We believe it to be the big man's plan. |
Smug Mother |
We do, don't we? |
Party Guest |
Well, it's not for me. |
Smug Mother |
I dunno why not? Why not? |
Party Guest |
Because there's something wrong with my twat. If you wanna take a peek, it's right there. |
Smug Father |
Good day to you. |
Clip 10 S01 E03 |
When you come home from work and your little girl is waiting to greet you, you expect a heart-warming interaction with your offspring. You certainly don't expect... well, this! |
Man |
Hello. |
Daughter |
[Singing] |
Daddy is a twat, daddy has no friends. Daddy is a twat, daddy has no friends. |
Man |
Who taught her to sing that? |
Clip 11 S01 E03 |
It's the announcement nobody wants to hear in-flight. A call for a passenger with experience as a pilot to make themselves known. But not Alex. No. Alex is on holiday. |
Stewardess |
[Over the public address system] |
Ladies and gentlemen, there's no need for alarm, but if there is anyone on board who holds a current pilot's licence or, indeed, has any experience of flying an aeroplane of any sort, could they please make themselves known to a member of the cabin crew? Thank you. |
Joanne |
Alex, you're a pilot, you've been flying 747s for years. Why don't you go give them a hand? |
Alex |
Joanne, I'm on holiday. |
[Alarm blaring, engines whining and passengers screaming as the oxygen masks deploy] |
Clip 12 S01 E03 |
These two have been going at it like a sewing machine in a quiet country lane. He doesn't know that she's actually a prostitute. And she doesn't know that he's actually a taxi driver. |
Man |
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. I cannot believe it. We only just met, you know. There was the crackle in the air and bada-bing, you know. We were straight at it. I have never pulled such a fit bird. |
Woman |
Ahh, ok. I hate to burst your bubble, buddy, but I'm a, I'm a working girl. |
Man |
I hear what you're saying, you know. We've all got to put corn on the table, yeah? |
Woman |
Yeah. Er, I'm a, I'm a prostitute. |
Man |
Oh. |
Woman |
That'll be twenty quid. |
Man |
Oh, yeah. Well... if we're being honest with one another, I'm actually a... mini-cab driver. And to get you back to town from here is, well, probably twenty-five quid. So... why don't you just gimme a, gimme a fiver? |
[Speaking into his radio as he pulls away] |
Roger, rog. |
Clip 13 S01 E04 |
It's one thing to have a soundtrack to make love to. I mean that's pretty normal. But when you create a song yourself to narrate your efforts? No. That's definitely not normal. It's positively creepy. |
Woman |
Oh, wow, you've got so much equipment. |
Man |
Yeah, do you mind if I put some music on? |
Woman |
Oh, no, please do, yeah. |
Man |
Okay. Um, this is something I put together myself. |
Woman |
Brilliant. |
[Tender music plays] |
V/O |
The music starts. The lights are off. Are we ready? Are we ready? Are we ready? Break it down. Mike makes love. He likes to make love. He winks at her. She loves it. She purrs. |
Woman |
[Purrs and giggles] |
V/O |
He touches her breast. It feels good. It's made his winky go bigger. His winky is bigger. |
Woman |
Oh. Oh, yep. |
V/O |
Now Mike's gonna cum. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. |
Woman |
Oh, there we go, there we go. |
[Music stops] |
V/O |
Thanks a lot for that. |
Woman |
Huh? |
V/O |
Mike is sleeping now. Please make your way from the house quietly. This is a residential area. Bye-bye. |
Clip 14 S01 E04 |
A chance meeting in the street with an old flame can go one of two ways. Three if you count this abomination. Jesus, man. What were you thinking? No. No. Don't tell me. I don't want to know. |
Woman |
Johnny! How are you? Johnny, are you ok? |
Johnny |
Oh, sorry. Sorry, yeah. |
Woman |
You do remember me, don't you? |
Johnny |
Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God, I haven't seen you in ages and I was just... |
Woman |
What? |
Johnny |
Oh, no, no, no, it's silly. |
Woman |
Go on. |
Johnny |
I thought about you when I was wa*king this morning. |
Clip 15 S01 E05 |
Security guards. Wannabe police officers? Children at heart? Not sure. What I do know is that this is probably the sort of thing they say to each other all the time. |
Security Guard 1 |
Bravo Zulu Nine. |
Security Guard 2 |
Bravo Zulu Nine receiving. |
Security Guard 1 |
Yeah, er, just to confirm I've a walkie-talkie over. |
Security Guard 2 |
Roger. Er, I also have a walkie-talkie. |
Security Guard 1 |
Roger that. We are the fu*king boys. Over and out. |
Clip 16 S01 E05 |
Satnavs are becoming more and more sophisticated. Voice recognition, AI... pretty soon it'll be like having an invisible passenger in the car. One very much like your wife. |
Satnav |
Hello, where would you like to go today? |
Driver |
Er, Leeds. |
Satnav |
Please. |
Driver |
Please. |
Satnav |
Go to the end of the road and turn left. Er, right. I meant right. At roundabout take the second exit. |
Driver |
Roundabout? There is no roundabout. |
Satnav |
Don't raise your voice at me. |
Driver |
I'm not, I'm... I'm just saying... |
Satnav |
I can't concentrate when you shout at me. Don't walk away when I'm talking to you. Don't you dare walk away when I'm talking to you. Bastard. |
Clip 17 S01 E05 |
Let's be frank here, shall we? All men have tried it at least once. But to join a yoga class just to become flexible enough to... you know... I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen. |
Girlfriend |
Did David tell you, he's started doing yoga? |
Friend |
No, he didn't. That's a bit new-age for you, isn't it, mate? |
David |
I just feel amazing, you know. I feel alert, relaxed. I just wish I'd done it years ago. |
Girlfriend |
I'll get another bottle of wine. |
Friend |
So can you suck your own c*ck? |
David |
Why do you think I'm doing it? |
Friend |
Oh, that is so brilliant. |
Girlfriend |
What? |
Clip 18 S01 E06 |
Is there anything worse than hearing a flatmate having loud sex in an adjoining room? Probably. I just can't think of anything more awkward at this precise moment. |
Flatmate 1 |
Hiya, morning. How did your date with Nick go? |
Flatmate 2 |
Yeah, it was brilliant. |
Flatmate 1 |
Good. Did you go out for dinner somewhere? |
Flatmate 2 |
Yeah, we did, we had Italian. |
Flatmate 1 |
Then did you come back here for some coffee? |
Flatmate 2 |
Yes. |
Flatmate 1 |
And then... and then did you, um... did you... did you have sex? |
Flatmate 2 |
Well, it's... |
Flatmate 1 |
I meant, erm, and then did you go... |
[Intensifying moans] |
"Oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness! Oh, my sweet... oh, God, yes, yes!" |
[Squeals and barks] |
"I like it, I like it, I really, really like it. Permission to come aboard? Permission granted, Captain Sex. Oh! Ahh! Ahh! You're the love train and I'm the tunnel. Choo, choo, choo, choo! Ahh!!" |
Flatmate 2 |
Did you hear us? |
Flatmate 1 |
Did I hear you? Yeah. Yeah, I could hear you. Yeah. "You're the love train and I'm the tunnel. Choo, choo, choo. Choo." |
Clip 19 S01 E06 |
A cold is not just a cold when you're a man. No. It's far worse. It's a "man cold" and the primary symptom is an inability to put your big-boy pants on and get on with it. |
Laura |
John, I still feel a bit under the weather, how are you feeling? |
John |
How'd you think I feel? I've got your stupid cold, haven't I? Thanks a lot. |
Laura |
Poor darling. You should have said something. I'd have come down and made you some soup. |
John |
I called for you. I said... "Laura. Laura!" But you didn't come. So I dialled 999. |
[Sound of approaching siren] |
Laura |
What? |
[PARAMEDIC comes through the front door] |
Paramedic |
Where is he? Quickly, love. Okay, son, everything's going to be fine. |
John |
I'm gonna die. |
Paramedic |
Not if we can help it. |
John |
My head's so burny. |
Paramedic |
How did this happen? |
Laura |
Er, he caught the cold off me. |
Paramedic |
You just don't think, do you? |
Laura |
I'm... I'm a bit confused, hasn't he just got a cold? |
Paramedic |
For God's sake, woman, he's a man, he's got a man cold. Do not under any circumstances move from this bed, okay? |
[To LAURA] |
You. Take this bell. When he rings it, I want you to come to him and rub his head and say, "Poor little bunny." |
Laura |
Poor little bunny. |
Paramedic |
Okay, that's good. Let's go. We've got a man in Canter Avenue with a hurty knee. |
Laura |
Er, sorry, sorry, what about me? |
Paramedic |
What? |
Laura |
I... I've got a cold, too. |
Paramedic |
[Mocking LAURA] |
"I've got a cold!" Have you not heard of lemsip? |
Clip 20 S01 E06 |
Resuscitating an unresponsive patient is the definition of frustration. Especially when your colleague makes up drug names as she goes along. Hydropodine Sulphate? Hmm. But, I digress... |
[Heart monitor beeping] |
Registrar |
Two mils of hydropodine sulphate. |
Nurse |
Here. |
Mike |
Check the pulse. |
Registrar |
Can you hear me, Sarah? Stay with us now, stay with us. |
Mike |
Check the pulse. |
Nurse |
I think you're losing her. |
Registrar |
Stay with us, Sarah, come on now. |
Nurse |
It's not working. |
Registrar |
Christ, Mike, I don't know what else we can do. |
[Monitor flatlines] |
Mike |
There's only one thing left we can try. It's experimental but it might just work. I'm gonna cum on her tits. |
