Flat Party (Episode 2) - Synopsis

The whole episode follows Anton and Frank as they prepare and host a flat party. The fact that they're going to host this party is revealed to Frank by Anton in the morning, much to his annoyance at the short notice.

The start of the episode follows the preparation as Frank and Anton buy all the condiments for the party in the town centre and have a heart to heart about the night’s events in episode 1. The two of them also encounter a scouser with a lisp on a bus (something Anton finds hilarious), a group 14 year old female chavs, one of whom ends up hitting Frank, and Stu, who gets beaten by an old man in a mobility scooter in a drag race.

The actual flat party doesn’t start well, as only 4 people that both Anton and Frank barely or don’t know at all show up. Two girls Anton randomly added on Facebook because he thought they were "fit", a local drunken loser in his late 40s called Keith and Norris Morris, a local Crawley celebrity that hangs around the high street during the day talking to people as they walk past.

However, eventually over 50 people, mainly Nicola’s chav friends, arrive from another house party, which leads to jubilation from Anton and annoyance from Frank.

At the house party Frank meets a girl from his office called Betty that shows an instant liking to him. However, things don’t go quite so well for Anton, who’s countless attempts to charm Nicola only ends in put-downs. Anton then puts on a CD he bought specifically so he could "grind" with Nicola, but this again ends in disaster, as Keith ends up grinding with her after he says claims to be the manager of Crawley Town Football Club.

Frank gets more and more annoyed at the party as he deals with the mess created by other people. However, after Betty tells him there’s a spillage in the bathroom, she passionately kisses Frank before walking away to rejoin the party, leaving him slighlty bewildered.

As Frank rejoins the party he sees another a bottle of red wine being spilled and decides he’s had enough and locks himself in his room.

When Frank wakes up the next day he sees Anton passed out next to his bedroom door. Both then witness Keith walking out of Anton’s room with Nicola. As Keith leaves the flat party, Frank and Anton reveal that Keith is not the manager of Crawley Town. Nicola doesn’t seem bothered about this and leaves after she tells Frank that her period is all over his bed sheets. Anton goes into his room and, much to Frank’s disgust, sleeps on his sheets stained by Nicola. The episode ends with Frank looking around the flat, which is in an absolute state, and sighing loudly before grabbing a black bin bag.
