Brotherhood
S01E04: Birthday
Dan throws a birthday party for Jamie but gets his age wrong and gives him a jacket which Auntie Debbie reckons makes him look like a Dutch porn star. Nor does Toby help by revealing that he has had Jamie's eyebrow pierced and frantically summoning Miss Pemberton to ask if he has given her a sexually transmitted disease. And with Poppy getting drunk and throwing herself at Jamie's school-friends only Auntie Debbie's present seems likely to salvage the party.
Overview
Twenty-somethings Dan and Toby become surrogate parents to little brother Jamie after their mum passes away. Dan is a sarcastic joker - anxious and a little uptight, Toby is a naive sweetheart with an eye for the ladies and Jamie hasn’t said a word in six months. Thrust into a new world of responsibility, Dan and Toby are in over their heads. Will they cope with romance, work and meddling relatives? One thing’s for sure: the brothers only have each other to rely on since, well, that’s all they’ve got.
