Starlings: Series 1, Episode 7 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)
Loz and Fergie must overcome a girlfriend-shaped obstacle, and things go from bad to worse for Bell and Reuben. Charlie catches the eye of a talent scout.
Further details
Forget romance, the road to bromance is rocky as Loz and Fergie struggle to overcome a girlfriendshaped obstacle.
The former has fallen for the thrill-seeking Anneka, and Ferg isn't a fan. As well as being an unwelcome distraction from their new business venture - retro taxis - he plain doesn't like her. And as it turns out, Fergie is a good judge of character.
Bell and Reuben's relationship is faring little better and they're seeing a councillor, a shoddy one at that. It's not working and, towards the end of the episode, a drunken Reuben faces a proposition from which there is no coming back.
On a brighter note, Charlie is scouted at a football game and asked to attend Derby County trials. Dad Terry struggles to contain his excitement, especially when he meets childhood hero Rodney McQueen who, in reality, is more of a strip club-attending, debt-ridden zero.
