Further details
Natasha is on a legal mission to find a loophole in the contract because she doesn't want to leave her home and move in with Jayanthi. However, Romesh, convinced he has to say goodbye to his dad's pub, has organised a thank you talent evening for the punters - it's a good opportunity for him to show off his excellent hip hop beats.
Overwhelmed by the night and goaded by Lemon, Romesh trashes the pub. Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Julie and Lee give into their boozed up feelings and Natasha has a good lead. But is it too late?

Press
Series one of Romesh Ranganathan's sitcom concludes with a talent show. The event threatens to get out of hand as oafish barfly Lemon encourages the misanthropic landlord to trash the pub. Prepare for a last-minute change of heart as a second season of the show has been greenlit. Passable, if never essential.
