Series 1, Episode 4 - Gangster
This week 22-year old Jamie is set up by his girlfriend, Charleen. They've been together for six months and for the first time Jamie is about to meet Charlene's family.
Further details
How does Jamie cope with mum, Sharon, a true gangster's moll; brother Gary who alarmingly displays his bum cheek tattoo at the dinner table or Charleen's fake sister Chigwell, named after the place of her conception? And finally, ex-con dad, Terry, who's suspicious of everyone, but trusts Jamie enough to ask him to get rid of a gun for him.
Will Jamie crack under pressure, take the bait to try and impress Terry - or will the police get there first?
