The dark and shameless whirligig of Episodes spins to an end, complete with fighting, kissing, swearing and Sean (Stephen Mangan) doing “his Wallace and Gromit smile”.
Strangely, given its title, Episodes is really about a plot arc that spans the series. In the first, it all built to Beverly’s betrayal with Matt LeBlanc; this time round the focus is on brilliantly amoral Merc (half exec, half fuming troll) and his web of infidelities. He’s overcome cancer, bereavement and losing the talking dog show. Now his job and marriage are under siege. Look out for a note-perfect cameo from Nigel Planer. Bring him back for series three!
About this programme
9/9. The night of the Man of the Year event finally arrives, but Merc's moment of glory is ruined when Carol tells him about Matt's affair with Jamie. As Beverly and Rob's relationship deepens, Sean is forced to decide whether he is willing to forget the past and fight for his wife. Comedy, starring John Pankow, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Matt LeBlanc, Tamsin Greig and James Purefoy. Last in the series.
