      When Bilbo offers Tim some twiglets, Tim refuses, saying "I'd better not". This is a callback to the episode "Art" (1999) where he reveals that twiglets make him become violent.
    • Quotes

      Bilbo Bagshot: Will you come back?

      Tim Bisley: Well, I like it here, Bilbo. What makes you think I want to come back?

      Bilbo Bagshot: This.

      [Bilbo gets out an answering machine and presses play]

      Tim Bisley: [on machine; sobbing] Bilbo, this is Tim. Please can I come back? I don't like it here!

      [Bilbo switches it off]

      Tim Bisley: You got that, did you?

      Bilbo Bagshot: Tim, I would have come in anyway. The place is just not the same without you there.

      Tim Bisley: [smiles] I'm already there.

      Bilbo Bagshot: [suddenly worried] What?

      Tim Bisley: I mean I'll come back.

      [pause]

      Bilbo Bagshot: Oh! Yeah, you frightened me for a bit there.

      Tim Bisley: I'll have to give my notice here, though.

      Bilbo Bagshot: Can't you just get fired?

      [Tim thinks for a second then nods, gives Bilbo the "hang on a second" gesture with his fingers and turns to Derek who is coming back in with two mugs of tea]

      Tim Bisley: Derek... Babylon 5's a big pile of shit!

      Derek: [annoyed] Get out!

      Tim Bisley, Bilbo Bagshot: [throwing their hands in the air] Yaaaaay!

    9/10
    A must for anyone in customer service.
    Tim's out of his job, sacked after his inability to hide his feelings over The Phantom Menace, meanwhile Daisy is struggling to get hold of any benefits.

    It's such a funny, surreal episode, I'd argue this felt more like the series one episodes, than the previous, series opener.

    There were some worryingly real moments, it's 2022 and financially times are hard, I think this hammered it home.

    Plenty of funny moments, I loved Daisy's customer service skills in particular.

    Did we actually see a positive act from Marsha? She's been quite a selfish being so far, did she actually try and help?

    Funny as, 9/10.
