Episode 6: Series 1 Episode 6

Summary

Brian is nominated for a business award and Dan must quickly find a tuxedo and a date to impress his ex. Will the teacher's dad or his friend Jo help him in his hour of need? Meanwhile, there's unrest at the school when the classmates realise it could be the end of Space Mission. Comedy, starring Greg Davies, Mike Wozniak, Rik Mayall and Roison Conaty

Review

It says a lot about this series that one of its characters is an uptight financial adviser, and he’s an entirely likeable figure. Brian – as underplayed by Mike Wozniak – has been one of the joys of Man Down, as strait-laced and competent as our hero Dan is disaster-prone. His furious lecture to Dan about car insurance (“You set up a direct debit and you monitor it!”) was a particular gem.

Tonight, Brian is off to the West Regional Small Business Awards and Dan is keen to tag along. For the first half of the episode we’re drumming our fingers slightly as the ground is laid for what we know will be a royal humiliation of some kind. But the climax pulls off the trick of being utterly stupid and in some odd way almost moving.
