Five’s home-grown sitcom continues tonight. Set in a greasy spoon in London’s Trafalgar Square, Angelo’s follows the fortunes of a group of misfits, wannabes and losers. In this episode, Angelo weighs up an offer to buy his café; Maria alienates her friends by falling in with a group of art students; Kris avoids an old acquaintance; and Karen and Dave attend Kevin’s party.

Angelo and his fellow café owners are attending a presentation by Café Mania, a franchise company with designs on London’s greasy spoons. But the fancy charts and business jargon prove too complicated for the humble proprietors, who have no idea what the speaker is talking about. Back at the café, Angelo tells Russell he is unsure about whether or not to sell his establishment. “I don’t even know if I’m ready to give all this up,” he says. “I mean, cooking is my life.”

Following in the steps of ‘Suburban Shootout’ and ‘Respectable’ is another home-grown sitcom for Five. Written by Sharon Horgan (‘Pulling’, ‘Free Agents’), Angelo’s follows the fortunes of a group of misfits, wannabes and losers who frequent a greasy spoon in London’s Trafalgar Square.

Widowed Italian owner Angelo (Steve Brody, ‘The Office’) is – sort of – assisted by his truculent daughter Maria (Shelley Longworth, ‘Tittybangbang’, ‘It’s Adam and Shelley’), an aspiring singer who thinks her talents are wasted in the café. Angelo’s regulars include married police officers Karen (writer Horgan) and Dave (Paul Garner), intimidating minicab driver Shelley (Miranda Hart, ‘Nighty Night’), Maria’s best friend Alicia (Alice Lowe, ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’, ‘Hot Fuzz’) and bitter mime artist Kris (Simon Farnaby, ‘The Mighty Boosh’, ‘Blunder’) – who has a major crush on Maria.
