Storylines and how they link:
- Steve rings Susan and is unable to speak to her as he panicks leading to an awkward 'pause'. This is discussed by the boys at a bar - juming between the moment of the pause and the boys dicussion. The boys compare the pause to patrick as he hasnt said anything and is sat at the table, awkward.
-Jeff compares the situation to the film the blob, adding there is always a puppy that needs to be recued. Patrick joins in and compares the puppy to love and that love needs to be rescued from the situation.
- Steve tried to recue the conversation by saying there is a fault on the line however susan hs heard steve breathing.
- Susan invites steve round for a date, she said she would cook. In a discussion with sally, sally worries that susan is giving off the impression that she will be having sex with steve 'that is what ill cook implies'. Susan disagrees but as they walk into the bar they over jeff ask steve if hes thought through his foreplay yet. As jeff continues to give advice susan stands behind him and ultimatly joins the discussion. Susan also clarifies with steve that cooking means just cooking. He understands. Later Susan again reiterates the just cooking policy.
-Jeff explains his theory that everybody thinks about celebrities during sex and therefore that is why there are so many celebrity marriages because they are put together through the power of this force. He also reveals steves celebrity crush to be marriella forstrap. Jeff's theory is proven correct when at the bbc mariella and angus meet and have a weird and sort of romantic exchange.
-Patrick asks to speak with Sally, quietly. He asks her to a motorshow which she says yes but only as friends. Patrick says they can go ask friends but Sally insists she is never going to sleep with patrick who then declines as the only people he goes out with and doesnt try and sleep with are men. Jeff said the conversation looked like a dumping to which patrick replies says it was and she took it well.
- Susan asks Sally who would look good naked in socks. Sally says she would sleep with anything accept animals and tories. Susan says she thinks angus deaton would look great to which sally responds saying she needs to let this angus thing go revealing it to be her celebrity crush. Steve later finds an two photos of angus in susans draw.
- Sally says she has no idea what susan saw in patrick as he is boring and says she understands why Susan gave him the nickname 'Donkey brain', susan replies saying it was 'Donkey'. It is then we link with the title of the show - Size matters. As it is revealed that Patrick is well endowed. This is 9 mins into the show. Susan explains that Patrick is a 'Tripod' and sally is furious she has dumped him. She later approaches him to take him up on the offer of the motorshow and susan quickly reveals Patrick to be a tory much to sallys displeasure. She asks how tory to which susan smirks and nods her head. She then asks how big to which susan rolls her eyes, laughs and leaves. Later we see a drunk patrick talking politics with janes new man who are both tories. Sally is trying to remain neutral but says to patrick it better be a massive motorshow when he mentions thatcher who sally hates. Sally gets jeff to go to the toilet with patrick to find out as she is getting more and more annoyed by the tory comments. When jeff tries to go to the toilet again sally stops him insisting he go with patrick. Jeff then gets a call from steve who also asks jeff to go to the toilet with patrick. jeff is freaked out and wonders why everyone is being so weird. Jane makes jeff feel worse when she also insists he go to the toielt with patrick - she does this to prove something to her new man. He is forced by sally to go.
- Jeff and Patrick tell steve to make sure he checks out her remote controls at her house. He tries to but is unsure how they work and then discovers there are no batteries in any of her remotes. Susan goes to find them in her bedroom and Steve lurks by the door to see where. He is shocked when he discovers what and hears a vibrating sound. He runs back to the living room and waits as susan brings him the batteries who then reveals she has bought a hug pack of new ones. Steve panicks about this worrying about his manhood and stamina. This is agrivated further when she tells him about Patricks size. we later see a more relaxed steve having dinner with susan. He says men are bound to be nervous on dates as women have the upper hand - a man wonders if he will get lucky while the women knows if this will happen. Susan says she thought men worried about their equipment on dates, then she assures steve he will get lucky so he doesnt have to be nervous. This makes steve VERY nervous once more.
- Jane first makes an appearance 11 minutes in with a new man who reveals himself to possibly be gat. Jane explains this away saying she is bisexual. She also explains her apperance by saying its always good to reamin friends with ex's. Jane's new man tries to assure jane he is 100% gay but she again says there are no such thing as homosexuals just people sexuals.
Here is the episode:
This episode helps to move forward the initial stories set in the pilot and also explain the future of the cast as they were not friends in the first episode but now they all meet together. There are also recurring locations such as the bar helping to establish some familarity with the program. There is also a clear A plot and a B plot in both these episodes so far. Plot A here goes along with the susan and steve story line. Plot b is about Sally and Patrick. Jane's gay boyfriend is a C plot. Jeff interlinks these storys. This research already is helping me to shape my planning for my scripts.
Stay safe,
Helen
