8/10

Great episode, very funny.

Daisy convinces Marsha to allow her and Tim to have a dog, Tim and Mike go paintballing.

Favourite episode of the series so far, loved the story, and really enjoyed the laughs, and there were quite a few, best of all, where Tim finally gets to take some revenge on Duane.

Absolutely love Peter Serafinowicz, he's a brilliant actor, he's perfect as Duane, a little cheesy, a little annoying and sarcastic.

Richenda Carey only had a small part here, but another very good performer, someone else who can do cutting sarcasm very well.

What's the perfect storm that's brewing?

8/10.
