"Something Straight Between Us"

Written by: David Moses     Directed by: Monika Mitchell

When pretty boy Andrew moves into the building, Geoff - and a confused Yuri - automatically assume he's gay . Geoff's lusty inspection is not missed by Stanley, who takes the opportunity to remind Geoff that he hasn't forgotten a past indiscretion. Undeterred, Geoff shows up on Andrew's doorstep, allegedly to help him unpack, and is shocked to discover that Andrew's partner, Chris, is, what? – a woman!? Things lurch from bad to worse between Stanley and Geoff during a dinner party with Andrew and Chris. Stanley attempts to gaybait Andrew and Geoff capitalizes on a private moment in the kitchen to put a liplock on Andrew's hypocrisy. When Geoff tries to apologize, Andrew's defensiveness seems to hide a deeper truth.

The Creators and Directors of Robson Arms always like to put their own personal stamp on the series. In this episode, look for posters in Chris and Andrew's apartment that show the faces of Monika Mitchell and Gary Harvey. And it's always faster to have the art department create pieces like this than to clear an actual poster for television. One prop that was cleared though, was the wine glasses used in the dinner party scene. These break resistant glasses were made of titanium crystal, and some of them actually bounced during takes of when they were really supposed to break.
