In with the Flynns

Series 2 - 1. The Tandyman

Radio Times
Review by:
Emma Sturgess

This family sitcom might be all about staying in, but as series two opens Liam and Caroline have been to the pictures. They return to find a man in a Barbara Windsor mask in their front room, about to make off with a laptop. It’s only when they manage to restrain him that they realise the burglar is an old schoolmate of Liam’s - though Corrie viewers might recognise him as the murderous John Stape. Their almost quick-witted reaction makes them the very mildest of vigilantes.

Also passing through the Flynn household is Chloe’s manipulative new friend Megan, who can persuade an adult to adopt her in under a minute. Her snivelly tricks work on Liam’s dad Jim (Warren Clarke), though he’s more interested
in the large cod he’s clutching. Cue the fish puns - and a reassurance that, although In with the Flynns is pretty broad, it’s not total carp.

About this programme

1/6. Will Mellor, Niky Wardley and Warren Clarke return in the domestic comedy. Liam and Caroline catch a burglar and lock him in the kitchen - but he threatens to press charges for their use of `undue force'. Chloe's new best friend comes to stay, but her attitude leaves a lot to be desired, and a fishing trip sparks a war between Jim and Kevin.
