Paraskevidekatriaphobia
6 May 2023
Paraskevidekatriaphobia is a fear of Friday 13th. Gareth (Reece Shearsmith) is a superstitious man who fears Friday 13th. He stays at home that day, pulling a sickie for work.

This Friday the 13th does not go according to plan. A postwoman Sue (Samantha Spiro) making a delivery wants to use the toilet and gets locked in.

Barry (Steve Pemberton) is the locksmith called in but he also brings his granddaughter who he is also looking after.

Just the recipe for everything to go wrong. However it is all a set up orchestrated by Gareth's wife Dana (Amanda Abbington) to snap her husband out of his superstitions.

The episode opens with some silent comedy type antics as Gareth is bothered by a black cat.

The set up in this episode are a series of incremental twists. You still wonder if this will have a happy ending or not.
