    This was off the scale.
    Sami is struggling to find peace with himself, his family want him to move to Germany, he seems very content with being in good old Blighty.

    I think this was the best episode thus far, they certainly know how to tug on the heart strings, they certainly know how to make you laugh. The writing is immaculate, the delivery and acting are sublime.

    One thing that was definite here, as Brits we will always have lots in common with everyone....... apart from the Germans. It was almost like a Fawlty Towers moment, don't mention Brexit.... The scene where Kirsty exploded I think was the funniest yet.

    I'm one of the remaining liberal types, but I do appreciate that the country voted to leave, and we need to make the best of it, European friends are baffled by it, but I agree with a lot of what Kirsty said.

    I thought Raj was hilarious here, it was terrific scene with Sami, turns out Sami is quite a liberal himself, but that was a lovely moment.

    Amazing, 9/10.
