Pull up a chair and grab a plate – Dinnerlads returns with another serving of Victoria Wood’s classic sitcom, dinnerladies.

This week, Matt, Nic, Dom and TIm take on Series 1, Episode 2: Royals — where the canteen is in chaos preparing for a brush with blue blood. There’s cleaning to be done, nerves to steady, and plenty of innuendo along the way.

Expect the usual mix of affectionate analysis, quotes we can’t stop laughing at, and a few unexpected detours — including the life-changing power of good underwear and the proper Caribbean approach to bacon. Plus, Dom confesses a shocking truth about his feelings towards Stan (brace yourselves).

In this episode:

🥔 Jacket potatoes and their practical uses according to Anita

👙 Why the right underwear matters – for any of life’s big moments

🚗 Dom admits he’s not Stan’s biggest fan

🥓 A surprisingly earnest discussion on the quality of Caribbean bacon

🎭 Royal protocol, nerves, and how Victoria Wood captured everyday pride with perfect timing

So polish your badge, straighten your hairnet, and join us for another trip back to the canteen — where every day feels like a royal occasion (give or take a jacket potato).
