While Marty (Matthew Cottle) & Matt (Neil Stuke) are still wasting tears
overtheir lost relationships (even though Matt is much too macho and too
homophobic to admit it, see last episode Heavy
Bondage and Custard Creams), their flatmate Mandy (Samantha Janus) has
decided (yet again) to make something out of her life ... which this time means
to go back to university & study philosophy. Asks Matthew "Why, is
there still someone you've forgotten to shag ?" - & sadly enough he's
not too far off.
To help her get back into college, Mandy asks her old philosophy teacher
Brian Kennedy (Matthew Marsh), a man she has always admired. They meet for a
drink, & hearing him talk, the old fascination for the man is there again
... until she realises he's just trying to sweettalk her in a brainheavy way,
and she tells him off (which is something new for her) - & just in time
too, since his wife comes back home ... & turns out to be Mandy's old
college mate Julia (Elaine Lordan) - whom Brian obviously was more successful
in sweettalking ...
To help Marty over his grief, Mandy has also managed to invite Hannah
(Rebecca Blake) over to the flat while she's out ... a girl who finds redheads
like Marty extremely attractive - but he tells her off, as his break-up with
Clare is still too recent.
Matt however is totally surprised by women liking redheads (or ginger
tossers, as he calls them - & especially Marty), so he sees just one way
out - dye his hair.
In itself not an unfunny episode, it at the same time oes not succeed to
tell anything new - intwellectual men wanting to get into Mandy's pants was
already the subject of the season 1 episode Working
Girls, while the story of the girl preferring Marty over Matt was told
in greater detail in Roundheads
and Cavaliers.
