Starting the show is Daniel and Nathan, the staple of the show. The opening scene is a hard one not to find really funny. Nathan has developed a habit of showing his nuts in every photo taken of him, and Daniel goes through a slideshow of pictures where Nathan is sneakily, in the back, holding them out. While the humour in the episode comes from the twins, we see Blake getting himself into a fair amount of trouble after a friend recently out of prison visits him. Blake lends him his van, but later gets a visit from the police, who believe Blake shot his great rival, Packo, after his van was seen speeding away instantly after. It seems Blake’s friend sought revenge for his pal, and landed him in it, too. After seeing the whole episode of Blake interacting with his girlfriend’s children, it’s pretty sad to see how this will affect him and his family unit. Unlike a few of Lilley’s other characters, Blake seems like a genuinely nice guy who just goes about things in the wrong way. Let’s hope it works out for him in future episodes. He needs to get over his fears and take that Billabong tour! After Talib tells her that his mum doesn’t love him, Gran insists it won’t be true, as all mothers love their children. It’s just human nature. She then goes on to stump him with a bombshell of her own. To say this revelation floored me is an understatement, truly brilliant and unexpected. It’s so well written and acted, it’s hard not to feel really affected by it. The way this episode plays out really emphasises the emotional aspects of the series, and it’s one of the main reasons I stick with it. Also, when the funny is good, it’s really good.
