TV-14Synopsis
Friday Night Dinner (2011), Season 1 — six-episode Channel 4 sitcom, watch online on iFILM. Brothers Adam and Jonny drive to their parents' house every Friday for dinner. Something always breaks.
Dad drinks ketchup straight from the bottle and buys sofabeds off eBay from strangers. Mum is half-watching Masterchef and has someone lined up for Adam. The sofabed gets jammed on the stairs and traps people upstairs. Neighbour Jim's dog Wilson goes missing. The boys find out their dad once had "a thing" with a woman they call Bitchface. Mum sets the table for five without telling anyone why. Six Fridays, six small domestic disasters, none of them resolved cleanly.
The series runs on one consistent rule: no one is trying to be funny. That restraint is the engine. Season 1 is where the formula locks in — and it holds. Stream Friday Night Dinner Season 1 online on iFILM.
