Agoraphobic Matthew (Neil Stuke) is behaving weirder than ever before, most of
the time even refusing to leave his room ... which doesn't stop him though to
give his friend/lodger Marty (Matthew Cottle) a big enough scare so he bumps
his head ... when he is treated for it in the hospital though, he meets sweet
Clare (Tracy Keating) & manages to ask her out ... not only that, at their
date she tells him she is still a virgin (like him, actually), but wants that
changed ASAP ... & he might be just the man for it.
This of course makes shy & inexperienced Marty panic ... & he asks
his flatmate Mandy (Samantha Janus) for help - he even shows her his penis to
have her check if it's alright (it is). When she finally comes to his (&
Matt's & Mandy's) appartment for you-know-what, Marty panics enough to at
some random pioint get out & fetch some pizza ... which gives Matthew -
pretty much an asshole when he wants to be - the opportunity to sweettalk Clare
& get her to his room, & when Marty comes back, Matt just throws him
out. It isn't until Mandy comes home & tells him to make his stand against
Matthew that Marty musters up any courage at all ... but by that time, Clare is
already in the proces of beating up Matt for being an asshole, & then give
Marty the shag of his life ...
With the second season of Game On, Neil Stuke took over the
role of Matthew from Ben Chaplin ... which didn't seem the best of replacements
simply since the whole second season was written for an obvious macho-type like
Chaplin, while Stuke was a very slim & small guy (in fact a lot smaller
than Matthew Cottle) who just didn't have the same on-screen effect - Stuke
would however come to his own in Season 3, when the scripts were tailored more
to his appearence & acting.
However, this episode still is funny enough to help one look
over such minor deficiencies, & Stuke, while cast a little against type,
does have his moments, acting-wise.
