Season 5 Episode 1 - Aired 5/2/2008
It's not so long since Mark's new bride Sophie stumbled from the car, looking in appalled fascination at her husband of ten minutes and sobbed, "He's horrible!" As we return for the fifth series of this engagingly filthy comedy, Mark (David Mitchell) is getting drunk and maudlin on wedding champagne as his flatmate Jeremy (Robert Webb) urges him to go out on a double-date: "Beggars can't be choosers, she's an actual woman." Mark - remember, this is a man who once based his romantic strategy on the Siege of Stalingrad - arms himself with a copy of the Friends of the British Museum magazine and goes forth again to search for love.
