168 - Nighty Night

This week we review Nighty Night (Series 2 Episode 6) Jill is a monstrously self-involved beautician whose husband, Terry, is dying of cancer. Her reaction to such terrible news is to tell everyone that Terry has died and pursue her neighbour, Don, a doctor whose wife is suffering from MS.She commits murder but successfully frames her admirer - a man called Glen who is subsequently detained in an institution for the mentally insane. Meanwhile Jill is planning to move on with her life, but first she must visit Glen and relieve him of the burden of his chip and pin number.However, Jill's one objective remains - to find Don and make him hers. She hooks her caravan to her bright pink jeep and sets off to north Cornwall, where Cath and Don are currently working through their marital problems at the Trees Therapy Centre.Written by Julia Davis.Directed by Tony Dow and Dewi HumphreysProduced by Ted Dowd and Alison MacPhail.A Baby Cow Production for BBC Three.Nighty Night is available here: https://bbc.in/3uItqXm The Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.
