Joking Apart - First Date Disaster

Taken from the fantastic sitcom about divorce, Joking Apart, written by Steven Moffat (Coupling, Dr Who, Press Gang, Jekyll). This is a flashback sequence in which Mark (Robert Bathurst) has taken Becky (Fiona Gillies) to a restaurant on their first date. He is already having to conceal the fact he has a pair of handcuffs clamped to one wrist when he commits the ultimate mistake which gets everyone else staring at them. Brilliant stuff!

This brings back memories.

So many years (18 or so i think) have past since this was shown very late at night and it used to have me in fits of laughter. This is one of the funniest clips. "Game On" was the other sitcom from about the same period. Thank you 'ssorguk' for this clip.
