HOW DID WE GO so long without new episodes of Catastrophe?
The award-winning comedy, written by and starring Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney, finally returned to Channel 4 last night after a year-long absence.

The second season ended with Rob finding a receipt for the morning-after pill, confirming his suspicion that wife Sharon had cheated on him.
Last night, they picked straight up from that cliffhanger – the episode was packed with brilliant quips, but one in particular captured the hearts and minds of the audience.

During a fight about Sharon’s infidelity, Rob confesses to searching her browser history to look for proof she was up to something:
Everyone immediately started wondering (and Googling) what a ‘fat Johnny Depp’ might look like.
Whoops!

The new episode also saw the return of Sharon’s Second Captains t-shirt, worn so memorably in season one (her brother, Mark, produces the sports show).

Mark’s taking it on the chin.
All in all, a hugely enjoyable episode that bodes well for what’s to come. Bring it on.
