Private Notes
Ronnie and Paul help Naomi to prepare a middle eastern dish with courgettes for a dinner date. But there's something about those courgettes that is distinctly un food like. Paul is given the opportunity to interview British comedy icon Ronni Ancona about her latest film. The film though turns out to be a publicly funded depressing Scottish drama and Paul doesn't hold back.
Paul is tasked with running a story on weddings from a male perspective. He enlists Naomi's help to pretend to be his bride. Buy a dress, book a venue, how difficult can it be? Things go wrong when he has to replace a broken toilet seat and meets a caterer with violent tendencies.
Paul takes issue with a woman who is perfume possessive and engages with an Interfaith group called IslamaJew
Paul's mate Simon has started to shave his most intimate areas. When Paul is asked to do a puff piece on a mogul who's made a fortune from gambling and porn, he takes Simon's testicle razor along to show how consumerism has gone mad. And when a gay activist turns up at his home suggesting that Jews should be moved from Israel to America, Paul's nose for enquiry lands him in very hot water.
Paul is set up with an accountant by Naomi on a blind date called Pippa. She's gorgeous. And blind. But there's chemistry. When Paul discovers Pippa has a very unusual way of judging how good sex is, he makes a huge mistake in telling Naomi. Ronnie confesses that he too tried to date Pippa because of her sight issues and he thought he'd get away with it.
aul and Simon are illogically terrified by a beefed up Liverpudlian at the gym. A woman who can only see with one eye drives into his car and Paul doesn't understand how she can legally drive. So he starts to wear an eye patch and sets the one-eyed driver a test. When he realises that he's scared of the Liverpudlian not because of his accent but because of his tattoos, there's only one solution.
Paul, suffering from a bad back, is given the chance to interview a pretentious Mancunian chef who has been selected for Saturday Kitchen. Paul tries to recreate sous vide by cooking fish fingers in his dishwasher. A visit to the local pool to ease his pain goes badly when Paul is accused by the Australian lifeguard of looking at the women underwater.
Paul wants to do a story on local builders. A terrible misunderstanding In Naomi's kitchen means he has to get involved in decorating but a visit to the DIY store leads to confrontation with a cute antivaxxer. Simon wants her number all the same. Paul helps the builder with tarmacking and over lunch in a working men's caff asks if there is such a thing as a no-skilled worker.
