And later, when Aine helps Shona move into her comically modern new house, they end up arguing over traditional Irish music and bursting into hysterics over a cushion with Vish’s face printed on it. (Aine continues the traditional Irish music chat in a very funny sex scene with Will that will leave you cringing like never before.)

Without giving too much away about how the story develops, it looks like the tables have turned for the sisters: Shona seems to be spiralling, while Aine is getting back on track. And while there will surely be more serious assertions to be made along the way – as there were in season one – this episode assures us that they will continue to be told in the funny, warm and honest way that we love this series for.

The first episode of This Way Up season 2 airs on Channel 4 at 10pm on Wednesday 14 July and episodes will run weekly afterwards. You can also catch up on All 4.
