BBC Three - My Left Nut, Series 1, Episode 1

Teenager Mick discovers a swelling on his testicle and attempts to hide it.

Teenager Mick discovers a swelling on his testicle. Not sure what to do, he attempts to hide it before it can get in the way of his first proper date with Rachael.

Fifteen-year-old Mick Campbell is trying to navigate the trials of teenage life with the help of his best mates Conor and Tommy. But secretly they’re just as clueless as he is. 

Big mouth Tommy is always bragging about his numerous sexual triumphs, but his mates know his outlandish claims are not always to be believed. So when Tommy tells them both a tale of his latest sexual encounter and dishes out a nugget of unusual advice for self-pleasure, Mick is pretty sure he’s talking rubbish yet again. 

But what if he’s not? What if everyone is doing this and Mick is the only one not doing it? Desperate to fit in, Mick decides to give Tommy’s advice a go, but he’s not prepared for what he discovers when he does. There is a swelling on his left testicle. 

Unprepared to deal with any sensitive issue, let alone one so intrinsically linked to his manliness, Mick decides to ignore it. Besides, he’s got bigger problems to worry about right now. He’s been lucky enough to score a date with Rachael, the girl from school whom he has secretly fancied for ages. But he doesn’t even know how to talk to girls. How is he supposed to go on a date with one? And with the bulge in his trousers growing bigger and bigger, it looks like Mick might have to try to deal with his swelling himself before it can get in the way of his chances with Rachael.
