Bonkers.

An old friend of Ben's turns up, Jeremy, a real success story, only Ben put things into perspective for him, meanwhile Susan is stranded in an Albanian Airport with a handsome American tourist.

It is totally over the top and far fetched, but it is very funny, even John Barrowman seems measures.

The script is way over the top, like a comedy from the 1980's, but some moments made me laugh, Ben and Jeremy up on the roof, and Ben's insults on the megaphone.

There's no denying how dishy John Barrowman is here.

Zany fun, 7/10.

An absolutely dire episode

Warning: Spoilers
As much as I love 'My Family' I cannot deny that over its run it produced some dud episodes, and this is one of them.

Despite two big name guest stars (John Barrowman and Douglas Haig) this is a weak half hour.

The Ben storyline isn't bad until the end, with lots of horsing around on the 'edge' of a building, that we can clearly see is staged, and not well!

As for the Susan storyline, well, it's bad from start to finish.

"There's some real dross in the writing, and we're aware of it" said Zoe Wannamaker once about the show. This episode is good evidence of that.
