Episode 4: Chin Chin

BBC One - Father Figure, Chin Chin

Karl, Elaine's ex-boyfriend, comes to stay and Tom finds it hard not to be jealous.

Sitcom. Karl, Elaine's ex-boyfriend, comes to stay and Tom finds it hard not to be jealous - especially since everyone is swooning at Karl's magnificent chin.

The life of Tom Whyte never runs smoothly, and when Elaine's ex-boyfriend Karl comes to stay, Tom finds it increasingly difficult not to be jealous at the prospect. Things are not helped when Karl arrives and enamours everyone around him with his tanned and muscly physique, exciting job and magnificent chin. 

With his own family teasing him about his 'turkey neck', Tom's increasingly desperate insecurity becomes focused around his own little double chin and his obsession that maybe his life would have been better had he been born with a chin like Karl's. It is not Tom's finest hour when he decides to raid the kids' dressing-up box and confront Karl in order to get rid of him.

BBC One

Sitcom starring Jason Byrne as stay-at-home dad Tom Whyte and his eccentric family.
