Daniel Lapaine

Sharon and Rob are on a health kick, one that puts her on a collision course with her GP. It may be that she's not as physically fit as she thought? Plus, there is another bravura turn from Daniel Lapaine as Rob's friend Dave. It is as painfully relatable as ever, yet still, somehow, a pleasure.

Radio Times review

It's Sharon (Sharon Horgan) and Rob's (Rob Delaney's) third anniversary, but this episode of this gloriously honest, filthy and funny comedy focuses a lot more on their circle of friends - most of whom are dipping their toes into the singleton market and finding how tough it is. Chris (Mark Bonnar) cavorts with a prostitute while his estranged wife Fran (Ashley Jensen) is finding her clingy new boyfriend a bit much.

Rob's fabulously obnoxious American friend Dave (Daniel Lapaine) is also finding things tricky with pretentious new squeeze Catherine (which may make you warm to him a bit more). It's lonely and tough out there and it's comforting when we're back in the tender bosom of the main couple.
