Cyber Off!

Germaine panics when the wifi goes down.

Caz and Caitlin Moran's excellent and highly quotable comedy returns to the Garry household for a second series, and 16-year-old Germaine (Helen Monks) is still banging on about her bodily functions to all and sundry. After mum Della (Rebekah Staton) switches off the wi-fi ("I'm not paying £29.99 a month to beam pixels through the friggin' air"), the Garry children slope off to the library, where Germaine's flirting practice leads to the unimaginable: an actual date. She preps for it by dousing her wrists in her own vaginal fluid.

Caitlin and Caroline Moran's sitcom about their unconventional childhood in Wolverhampton returns tonight.

Life in the Midlands might already be a tussle with brutality but what happens when your internet is cut off and you find yourself stuck in Wolverhampton unable to do Google Image searches for Benedict Cumberbatch both with and without his hats? Or, if your sexual tastes run that way, for "Andrew Marr on his moped"?

Their mother, Della, cancels the family's internet as it's too expensive so the frantic siblings are forced to use the grimy PCs at the local library where a romantic escapade awaits the irritating, hysterical Germaine.

Meanwhile, Della, still in her jumpsuit and glaring at the world like a mean cowboy surveying the dusty, deadbeat town he's just moseyed on into, goes on an expedition to the "poor woman's IKEA" ie, a local skip where the family might forage through the junk for something useful.

Raised by Wolves series 2 is funnier and filthier

Caitlin and Caz Moran's Channel 4 sitcom doesn't disappoint says Kasia Delgado.

Caz and Caitlin Moran on where comedy & real life meet

The sisters reveal what they really thought of each other growing up, and how they manage to work together now, as series two of their Channel 4 sitcom begins.

Raised By Wolves series 2 episode 1: 'fizzingly funny'

Raised By Wolves packs more ideas and invention into one episode than lesser comedies do in an entire series. Besides, any programme where the favoured insult is "wazzock" is fine by me.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 2nd March 2016

Helen Monks on 'Raised by Wolves'
