Shane jumps to conclusions when Velma invites American girl Audrey to the house, he thinks she's going to be fat, vacuous and loud, he gets a surprise, an unexpected surprise.
An attempt to recreate American Beauty, with Shane falling for a beautiful American girl.
2004, a time when taking the Mickey out of people was allowed, and here everyone cops it, Americans, fat people, women.... I'm with him on the whooping though, it is unbearable, but the humour, or rather lack of it, was hard work.
Loaded with Dad jokes, this is typical ITV comedy from the early 2000's, in that it just wasn't particularly funny.
The wonderful Elizabeth Barrington, what a waste of her talent.
One or two moments to chuckle at, the dream sequence had a few moments, and I did quite enjoy Shane's scenes with Basa, but overall, it was a poor start.
5/10.
