Press
You have to admire the way Lee Mack manages to effortlessly tuck totally random gags into an otherwise normal sitcom. His The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe joke tonight is perfect - especially because you have no idea how it managed to find its way into a conversation about weddings.
That's right, Lee's flatmate Lucy is getting married to a hunky mechanic named Pavlov who has almost as many sob stories as Lee has one-liners.
It's the last in what's been another great series.
