THE SECOND EPISODE of the new series of Catastrophe hit Channel 4 last night.
And it started with Rob being interviewed… by Domhnall Gleeson:
Who conducted the most brutally honest interview in business history
And he began with a highly inappropriate monologue:
“Last week, we had this guy in – and he had a great CV – tonnes of experience but he also had an eye patch. Like the pirate kind. Nowadays you’re not even allowed to ask ‘what happened to your eye?’ but you want to know”
With wild speculation thrown in:
Was he pulling clothes out of the dryer and he pulled too hard and his hand slipped and he punched himself in the eye while he was holding his keys?
We never did meet the eye patch man
But Sharon was looking forward to getting back to school:
“I’m going back to work – I’m quite looking forward to it actually. It’s going to be nice to be around kids that don’t want to sit in my lap when I take a piss.”
And had a name for every type of parent in the playground
Fergal was only desperate to tell them that they actually brought a good wine to dinner
We were reminded of the perils of modem internet
Only 90s kids remember this noise (as replicated by @SharonHorgan). #Catastrophe pic.twitter.com/XOKq3FbWku

And this line about who Fergal will be moving to Spain to be with was delivered with panache
Rob came out with this line in bed
And Sharon’s ~indiscretion~ with a young lad was discussed in the park
But the most important issue tackled in the episode? The overwhelming, unstoppable stench of Cheese & Onion crisps
This comeback to one of the teachers was just <3
And the whole interview scene was a mortifying guide to how one little lie can ruin you
When you tell a little white lie in a job interview and it spirals out of control… #Catastrophe pic.twitter.com/UgbMeX9HNN

It truly was.
Rob losing it in the playground with Wolf’s mam was a highlight
The bite couldn’t have been that bad
Another week, another serving of solid gold from Sharon and Rob.
