Chris and Dave review Episode 5 of Meet The Owens – “Unbridled Confidence”

Well, Dave, we start with Mr. Owen and family.

flipping pancakes he comes in with ice cream and the youngest daughter's going what's that dad and then he says that thing about the ice cream being world class dave and she's like world class they're all like class

yeah

world class they all parrot him and sort of copy him but then we get just a little scene where he has to flip a pancake and he lands it perfectly on the plate dave i mean it is quite funny that to be fair and i will be honest though as i'm watching it as much as I think he's boring, as much as he's David Brent, there's something about him and his family.

There is a wholesome togetherness that I do like.

I do like the fact that the outside is watching it.

He's quite insular.

He seems quite, not incestuous, but it's just, they've got their own thing.

And anybody who's going to get with one of his kids, he's going to have to accept that.

He's going to tell shit jokes.

You're going to have to be into horse racing.

You're going to have to stroke his ego probably every time.

Tell him how good he was at football.

But I think ultimately there is a niceness about the family that I do like.

I think the girls, I think all of them are lovely.

James is a good lad.

The girls are good kids.

Even Gemma, as much as she's basically him 2.0, I think there is a bit of entitlement with her.

But I do think as a family unit, I think they're really good.

And Louise holds it all together as the matriarch of the family, I think.

Yeah, and she just gives the eye roll when he throws out a double entendre or something.

I agree with you.

I think that's been a surprise watching this season is... how much you're drawn into the family unit.

It's not like when you're watching something...

Obviously, back in the day, you're watching the Osbournes or something like that.
