Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap – Episode Four

Frankie and Tess have packed up their troubles in an old kit bag because they’re moving into the new flat that the Artful Dodgeress has found them. Frankie only has a small bag because she’s so rock’n’roll that she only needs leather and a lens. Tess has blocked half of the street with her possessions and still has more stuff inside.

Frankie offers to help and goes back into Cat’s flat to get Tess’ last bits and bobs. Whilst gathering them up she enters the bathroom to see a scantily covered DS Murray coming out of the shower.

Frankie: Shit, sorry, I was just looking for Tess’ bag.
DS Murray: (hands her Tess’ bag) I’m Sam.
Frankie: Yes.
DS Murray: And you must be ... Frankie. Cat’s told me all about you; it’s nice to finally meet you.
Frankie: Yeah.

Sarah: That was a bit weird really wasn’t it? Would you be that calm if your girlfriend’s ex randomly came into the bathroom while you were soaping your bits?
Lee: Sarah, she’s a policewoman; nothing fazes her. Every single day she looks danger right in the eye.



Frankie leaves the bathroom only to romantically gaze upon a scantily dressed Cat as she applies lipstick in her bedroom mirror. Cat reacts to this in exactly the way you would if you turned around to find your ex-girlfriend watching you like a creepy lovesick voyeur in your own home.

But luckily for Frankie, Cat is in no real mood to argue and Frankie responds to the harmony laid out by commenting on a vase in Cat’s room that she remembers belonging to Cat’s grandma. How quaint.



They start to talk about olden times but this bout of nostalgia is cut short when DS Murray comes in with her breasts flapping about, bold as brass it has to be said, and borrows Cat’s bra as she seems to not have one.

Sarah: What? This is weird too. Who would just walk in with their top off like that? And how can she have no bra, what did she come in?

Lee: What is wrong with you? Sarah no one cares about this ‘realism’. The hot cop has her breasts out and you’re ruining it.



Frankie is unsurprisingly feeling slightly under-abreast by the second viewing of the DS’ jugs and leaves to ride off with Tess in their taxi cab to pastures new. In transit, she spots some new headlines about Lou & Tom-the-Prick’s affair and gives Tess a big cuddle.
