Men Behaving Badly: Series 05 (1996)

Member Rating:

Returning home from a European vacation, a newly bearded Tony (Neil Morrissey) is shocked at the tidiness of his apartment in "Hair," the fifth-season opener of Men Behaving Badly. The shock may be doubled when roommate Gary (Martin Clunes) has to tell Tony that he'll have to move out now that Gary's girlfriend, Dorothy (Caroline Quentin), has moved in. In the season's second episode, "The Good Pub Guide," Gary and Tony are appalled that their favorite pub has been redecorated under new management and seek a way to recapture the ambience of their old watering hole. In "Cowardice," Gary tries to make up for his timidity with an angry driver while both Gary and Tony wonder if upstairs neighbor Deborah's (Leslie Ash) friend is gay. "Your Mate vs. Your Bird" finds Tony applying a tattoo to himself and Gary making an important decision vis-à-vis his girlfriend. "Cardigan" has Gary worried about the onslaught of middle age, culminating in a riotous night on the town. In "Rich and Fat," Tony goes on a crash diet and also reveals the size of Gary's bank account to anyone who'll listen. Season five concludes with "Home-Made Sauna," a round robin of weekend seductions and faulty plumbing. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
