Friday Night Dinner (TV Series) The Two Tonys (2016) User Reviews

Incredibly funny.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 9/10 · 30 January 2021]

Martin as invited his friend Tony from Uni over, the only trouble is that he's invited the wrong Tony over, he spends the night trying to get rid of him.

The show has had a few storylines which has made me squirm, cringe, and laugh uncomfortably, forget all of those, they managed to push every single boundary, and go up a notch with this one.

It's very funny, and even though you perhaps know you shouldn't be laughing, you can't help yourself it is just insanely funny.

Plenty of funny moments, Jim and his fish, the blinking, but arguably it's Nellie who steals this one, she's hilarious.

Jason Watkins did a terrific job as Tony.

Loved it, 9/10.

One of the best ones

Friday Night Dinner is an excellent example that UK comedy is definitely not completely dead! This is a real gem of a series with so many damn good episodes, this being in the top tier.

This is a great example of how the worst, most awkward and uncomfortable situations make for the best comedy. Which is what Friday Night Dinner succeeds at on a regular basis.

There is a great mix of characters included in this episode - the main Goodman family, Nellie (Jackie's mum), Aunty Val and weird but friendly neighbour Jim and his dog Wilson. And a one off but hilarious character, Tony Michaels!

Suffice it to say but Tony causes chaos among the Goodman household and it makes for an excellent storyline with great performances from all of the cast.

My favourite line from the episode - "Am I still Mrs Whittaker?!"

And, of course, "PASS ME THE PINEAPPLE!!!!!!"
